Just a note here I have a pre cu saber fully legit with 4 x 120 pearls in it (modded with me attachments) I have a current dps of 804 and hit very hard with AB so not all high damage sabers are exploited and to be honest I thought this had been fixed if not if definetely needs to be reported again.


As far as I know this happened on Bloodfin a long time ago was easily traced and the accounts banned - so please dont start any new rumours unless this is confirmed as being exploited again.

Confirmed. You can load more pearls in your saber than you should be able to - again.

You don't seem to know the facts here, so please don't get everyone worked up. There is a way to load a saber with 5 damage crystals / pearls, but you can't put a color crystal in it and you can't use it (you can't even equip it).

Actually there is a way to load a lot more damage crystals into a saber, and still have a color crystal in the saber. Sabers can be overloaded again, and there are detailed descriptions available how it is done.
Also I am curious why you think I dont know the facts?

"Not necessarly true. Some Jedi were smart and made an all Damage Saber then when it got converted to 100 SAC they became useable. Those sabers quite honestly could reach 750-800 with perfect pearls. Anything over 800 IMO is really suspect. I know I've seen a legit saber (screenshot but it was an all damage saber) with perfect pearls for about 770 damage so I think it is possible."

Not necessarily true either, highest damage you can experiment a LS is 155-260, add 480 (4x 120) is 740, most realistic high damage sabers float around 740-750 and one of my friends has one of those and is completely legit. However I was hit harder than that last night and the elemental damage was noticably higher.

And the little white pixels on your screen are THE CIA, you play way to paranoid. Knowledge of exploits is one thing but looking for it used against you takes way to much time. When an exploit like for instance ASp***der is used it is pretty obvious. But as others have said the saber one has been a witch hunt taking up the time of the CSR's to only find users with legit sabers. Yes it has happened. If you are saying it is still happening do what the users did that put an end to the Intimidate DB bug and get a Fraps and get it in the hands of those who can do something about it.
Your post "confirmed it is still happening" holds as much water as Bush and the WMD statements

I dont care about what you think of my posts, to be honest. There are in-game mails circulating describing exactly how to overload sabers, and some people use this exploit.
You are right that some people report legit sabers and more than likely the one who got told to stop reporting "exploited" sabers was told so because he was wasting CSR time with investigations that always led to perfectly legit sabers.
This however does not mean the exploit does not exist. Just because you dont know how it is done or it is not done by the people you fight does not mean others dont do it. People are one-hitting lvl 82 critters using this exploit.
Bottom line is: Sabers can be overloaded, this is an exploit, and everybody caught exploiting should be banned.

yep...the csr siad stop reporting....nothing to do w/ false claims, however it is likely that my friend made a mistake, or the jedi got the saber out of inventory. i am not sure!


IMO, with all the perks a jedi has, the only reason to have high dmg sabers is for Jedi PVP. for me, i am a seasoned BH, and i cannot beat a jedi if they hit constantly for +750 unless i take my health crystal. THerefore, it is important to the BH community that this exploit be kept under wraps. In any case, a CSR should not discourage us from reporting exploits, but rather make them better known so the community can regulate the problems.

Ive got a saber somewhere that has 260+ base damage. Think I still have it anyways,
Ive found that experiment each point seperatly rather than all at once yeilds better results. especially when coupled with amazing sucesses.
quality or resourses used is also a major factor.

Since this was patched a couple pubs ago I see complaints with little proof, the posts remind me of the daily "have they nerfed the loot posts".
