Kahrain Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'm a Miraluka, and my unique social is to see a player's force alignment. (if you were unaware.) When I use it however, all I see is a cloudy white on anyone, light or dark. This doesn't seem right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amelaista Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 What level of people are you using it on? if they are still low level there is a very low chance that they have an alinement high enough to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charne Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) As far as I can tell, it doesn't work. I've tried it on people who confirmed that they were at least Light I and Dark I, and there was no difference in the effect. I don't know whether this is working as intended (the other racials are just animations, after all), but if it is working as intended, the ability tooltip is very misleading. On the other hand, I also note that when you inspect someone, the light/dark meter is shown on the inspect screen, but it always displays zero regardless of who you inspect. This could lead one to suspect that the API for obtaining another player's force alignment is broken, which could be affecting the ability too. This is just speculation, of course. Edit: I've also just discovered Sense Force Alignment can't be used at all on the opposite faction, adding to its lameness.

Crystal Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I really hope this is fixed soon. As an RPer it is the primary reason I chose the race... Disheartening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsherder Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I have to agree. The entire reason i picked this race was for sense force alignment. Seemed like it would be neat to use. It definitely does not work. Would be neat if they could fix this as it seems like a bug. I like updates to the game but come on. Fix stuff before adding new stuff. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxex Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'm curious about this too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheezal Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 i was under the impression that the race specific skills were just social in nature. basically glorified emotes that didnt actually affect anything but give off animations in you and others around you. that's how Rally and Salute work for Humans and Chiss at least right?

grania Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 As a dark miraluka sage, no matter who I use it on, it shows a dark red graphic. I guess it shows us our own alignment, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malorne Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 As a dark miraluka sage, no matter who I use it on, it shows a dark red graphic. I guess it shows us our own alignment, lol. This is exactly whats wrong with it. No matter who you use it on it will always display in accordance with your alignment and not your targets. I've tested this myself and my dark side character always see's a red aura and my Light side side always see's a whitish aura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DufMoney Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 *first post...wooo* I'm quite upset they didn't fix this in today's patch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Zekiel Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 At least I know how it works (read: is bugged) currently. I do hope they fix it. I did plan to actually incorporate this into RP and it was the only real reason I rolled a miraluka rather than just another human, or perhaps a mirialan.

harvestmeadow Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I know this is old but I wanted to comment on it since I came to this thread looking for an answer. They have fixed it, if it was bugged. If their alignment is light they glow a white light. If it's dark then they get this dark cloud about them. Really awesome and I love it.

SteveTheCynic Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 so they have still not fixed it? only been 9 years......might be too complicated? but easy to spend those sub money The post you quoted was in 2012, nine years ago. In 2015, someone posted this: I know this is old but I wanted to comment on it since I came to this thread looking for an answer. They have fixed it, if it was bugged.
