Each attack sequence is composed of multiple animations linked together. At certain times in the game, one of the attack animations may fail to play. The visible result is that your character slides around the screen, but does not animate. The game stays active, but neither player is able to do anything. If you ESC to forfeit, then battle someone else, your characters will be invisible. The game will work perfectly, but you'll not see your characters.
This happens because the missing animation results in messages not being sent and received between the clients and the server.
If this happens to you, please submit a copy of both players' logs through the Report a Bug link.
We are working with Virtools (our tech platform) to track the origin of the bug.
Stay tuned...
