I know on live I miss alot if I don't spend my first few points in the weapon of choice with my class trainer... If I'm using a 1hb I just put points into 1hb and skip offense. If I do that for the first 5 levels I find it helps a lot.

as a matter of fact i do remeber PAINFULY that it took as long as 3-5 min to kill a lev 1 rat back on LIVE =) at least back in the day of Kunark-Luclin era =)

the extrime to-hit suckage only lasts for about 5 levels or so

IMHO the the hit ratio should be tuned up a bit at least for the lower levels. after 5 its becomes much easier

Well, my problem is global, i can use the best gear in the game at lvl 50, and miss 70% at even mobs, and against players, 95% miss. i can even #setskill 400 and misss 70%, so this is a major problem, i would like some kind of direction/guide to change this in the source or a variable of some kind. Been messing around with ATK/acc not helping anything.....

I cant understand there is not more people having problems with this ^^,

Edit- The same is for mobs, they miss 70/80 % too.

You might want to run through your rules and variables tables of the database... there's a real good chance you have some corruption, or misplaced data.

Well, the funny things is, i've talked to a few people that just started their servers, and i made a friend start up his server, and he experienced the same thing, huge miss chance. the only server i have played on without this is, vallon tallon, the pvp server. and they are using angelox, and im using PEQ, so... i guess i have to give angelox a try, because this is not going to work. and i have not changed anything that affects miss or anything like that, i have even reinstalled my server a few times, beacuse of desktop issues.

Important thing to note that if hit on the mob but scored 0 dmg due to you having low atk and mob having high ac- the 0 dmg is reported as MISS.

I am SURE that HALF of your misses are actualy 0 dmg strikes

on my server mobs have rathly 1/4 of the AC they do on live/peq DB. Thsi significantly helps to avoid 70% miss issue =)

another thing in Rule section there is a Rule which determines the valeu of your AC, I belvie when its turned off, when hit is applied to target the Ac factor is not randomized and always counts as max resulting in far greater number of 0 dmg strikes.

this SQL comand will lower AC for all mobs in DB by 75%:

update peqz.npc_types set ac=ac/4;

Tried everything that i could with AC, turning it completly off, and tuning, only made my melee hits hit for less...... i still miss as much.... I tested a lvl 50 ranger dual wielding a naked enchanter at lvl 50, 60% miss atleast, if not 80%, now this is completly random, sometime i hit the target 4 times, and then i miss the 4 coming rounds of dual wield ^^ same on my friends server.
