lollie Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 gms are so busy as it is I'm not sure how they can verify it. Who cares about verifying each incident - they need to fix this at the coding level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archifikoss Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) This happened to me a couple of nights ago in Tatooine. I was suddenly jumped upon by some Republic idiot who was 10 levels higher than me after letting loose some of my AOE. Funny thing was that I still managed to kill him. so moral of the story is: if you are going to try this, make sure you actually know how to PVP first. This pleases me I haven't tried PvP yet, but does this mean that your attacks actually hit normally, and don't get dodged/missed constantly like in WoW?

lollie Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Every code is different, without looking at it you can't possibly know this. If they can't figure their own code then I would call their coders incompetent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApesAmongUs Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 What you mentioned is both exploiting a bug, and griefing. If you do this and get reported I wouldn't be surprised if you get banned. Specially if a person opens a ticket and explains they are on a PvE server and someone is exploiting a bug to grief you. Also.... I think trying to get people to use said exploits on the forums may be breaking a rule or two on its own. Did you not read the entire OP? CS has official said it's not an exploit. It's simply moronic design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xukuth Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Did you not read the entire OP? CS has official said it's not an exploit. It's simply moronic design. Did the OP Link a source? A Screenshot? Anything as proof? Or is it just the words of someone who might very well be a troll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balraw Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Without seeing the code its impossible to know how difficult this would be to change. They are likely looking into fixing it as soon as possible. Sometimes things that seem like a easy fix can be a logistic nightmare. That may be the case but some sort of acknowledgement of this issue would go a long way to helping people be a little more patient in the meantime. Sadly as it stands all we are getting is silence and that is not good enough which ever way you look at it. If this is an intended mechanic them someone at Bioware needs to clarify that and also change how your server description is worded as it is misleading. If this is not an intended mechanic and people are exploiting, again Bioware should say so and that they are indeed working on a fix. Silence and hoping this issue will go away is not an option any more or at least it isn't if they want a dedicated and long term player base.

Xukuth Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Ignore the guy you quoted, that guy is a known apologist for BW. lol Click my name, click show statistics, click show past threads. I grumble about alot of in-game issues. I hardly support bio-ware. Guess you have no idea what your talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApesAmongUs Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Did someone beat you all up and now your sad? Fight them, evade them, or take a break. Are you a child? In the adult world, when someone attacks you, you call the police. In this case, the police said "we don't care". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die_Scream Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) All MMOs I have played simply don't have any of your abilities (heal or dmg) to affect PvP flagged players. They can't hit you, you can't hit them, intentionally or not. Rift does it, CoH..every MMO with PvP. Are we really to believe that Bioware didn't see this problem coming? In any case, they just need to use that system. The AoE the lvl 20s are using wouldn't hit the flagged griefer because whether it hits depends on the caster, not the receiver's flag.
