Thread: A promise broken. Vehicles are rides again.
Multi Passenger Vehicles
- Removed the Temporary Enemy Flag (TEF) restriction for riding in multi-passenger vehicles.
So the ride sharing jedi will still be abundant.

As long as anyone is in combat they cant ride, but you dont get TEF`d. So as soon as you break combat
you can ride.
The rest of the story is that NOBODY could ride in a multipassenger vehicle for 2.5 minutes after ANY type of combat. SO they disabled the tef. Who knows if they will refine it or not, but it still prevents you from riding while in combat.

Been a long time since I was on the ground to a BH, but is "Incapacitated" still in combat? If not, you can get someone to drag you away. You won't get in the vehicle, but it works similar to the "Drag" function of a Medic. I found this out when I accidentally used avoid incap and then died from the snare. I got dragged 3x trying to beat the timer before I realized what was happening. I just stopped accepting the ride and let the BH kill me, I thought that was a bit too much of an exploit to continue.
the skill is drag

Thanks for filling us in on the rest of the story. Makes sense the way they wrote it.
Hopefully they'll sort it out so that only PVP (GCW, BH, Duel)combat affects whether or not you can get a ride or not.
My opinion on this is that someone offering a ride and a jedi gettin away is ok. Spamming a bh with ride offers is lame. If the jedi gets away big deal it happened to Darth Maul vrs Qui Gon (sp).
Bottom line is tho that people act like azzholz and exploit the offer ride, /duel exploit and you name it.
It's not a all jedi do it or all bh do it its a people act like azzholz thing.

ROFLMAO...............sort it out, that's a good one. I STILL warp 10m while sitting, and that only affects 1 game mechanic. The ride will affect at least 5 game mechanics.
I find your faith MOST disturbing......lol.

Of particular interest is the following:
Multi Passenger Vehicles
- Removed the Temporary Enemy Flag (TEF) restriction for riding in multi-passenger vehicles.

Ok - head out of sand.
The dev stated before that they were looking into rides being offered to people while in combat, to see if this was something that was fun or something that was not fun (exploit).
Perhaps they thought it was more inline with "fun" then anything else.
who would of thought that having "fun" in a game would be a priority.

they should allow it it but make it so the tef is transfered to the vehical, I think that would stop it.
Yea, agreed. If a tefed jedi is in a vechile it becomes TEFed. Bye bye jedi mom car.
if you do that, then the owner of the vehicle has to be tef'd too (not fair to shot a guys car and he has to watch), so you would end up with at least a 2 vs 1 fight, depending on how they did it, you might have to fight everyone in the bus...
