Well, the other BH died before I could even get a shot off... At first I simply assumed he was a new BH with poor gear... I was wrong.


She immediately used Adv Saber throw to knock me down then followed with Stasis. Np, a free hit while I was down no big deal... NOT QUITE!..


"You are still too disoriented and cannot get up at his moment."


I could not get up. Stasis was either not breaking on being hit like it's supposed to or the effect was lingering somehow.


Finally managing to get up, just in time to die. The Jedi let the incap timer expire...


I got up, healed and attempted to get off a KD to get some breathing room.


This time was even worse. I was knocked down again:


"You are still too disoriented and cannot get up at his moment."

"You are still too disoriented and cannot get up at his moment."

"You are still too disoriented and cannot get up at his moment."


There was about 12 attacks from the last stasis the jedi used.


Then, as if this wasn't enough of an exploit/bug to deal with...


"You cannot knockdown recover while knocked down."


Ok, I'm pissed off... but then my equipment takes damage at the cloner. PvP you're not supposed to take damage at the cloner... nice SOE.


So, this KD/Stasis bug is disgusting. While this Jedi I'm sure is bragging about taking down two BH in about a minutes time the exploit/bug involved was disgusting and needs immediate attention.


I tend to do very well against most Jedi. Some veterans of over 100 BH battles I last a good 15-20min. I've never lost this fast yet. This reminded me of pre-CU with TKM KD fights.

Some advice for you:


1-You were dizzied, that's why you couldn't get up ("you are still too disoriented and cannot get up at this moment" is the dizzy system message). You were hit by the Jedi with a dizzy while stasised (the free hit was a dizzy). You have dizzy recovery......use it next time .


2-The "can't knockdown recover while knocked down" is a lag/spam bug, CAUSED BY YOU!! When you get KDed, if you have another special loaded and use KD recover the special you have loaded takes preference. This causes you to get the message (althought is should say "you can't use Full Autowhile knocked down" or whatever special you had loaded). If you don't try to spam KD recover and wait 2-3 seconds and use KD recover you will stand right back up (let the yellow highlight on you toolbar disappear before hitting KD recover). You make it worse by hitting KD recover then an attack, wait until you stand up before spamming your next attack. DO NOT SPAM SPECIALS........that's what killed you. This is one of the new CU "highlights" .







This has happened to me when I have had NO other states applied.

This has happened to me plenty, and I am very carefull NOT to spam any button, especialy recovery buttons. This is not only caused by user created lag.... if spamming a single action can create that much lag


I've been KDd for as long as 12 seconds before with this bug, and again, i rarely hit any action que button more than once. Once the messege displays, I wait about 2 seconds and try again. 12 seconds is a long time to be patient and slowly hit that KD recovery button about once every 4 seconds while you are on the ground armor broke taking damage. In fact, it's long enough to get killed.

Clear, concise, excellent discription of what *really* happened during this fight.


Thank you so much for posting this and not letting another one of these "GAME BREAKING!!! DEFCON 1" threads go on and on and putting misinformation and fear and hatred into a SWG community that already has to much of this crap.


***** Five stars for you my friend.











Huh? You're talking Pre-CU...


Dizzy now simply reduces defenses.

Stun reduces defenses and slows attack.

Blind reduces attack skill.


Go test dizzy/kd yourself if you don't believe me, Dizzy does not effect KD or KD recovery at all. Pre-CU yes it did... Post-CU not at all.

Also the item decay you saw at the cloner is decay you took while fighting the Jedi, not extra decay incurred by cloning.

First off, How does it happen to Jedi and BH alike when BH do not have Stasis? My concern here is the Stasis not the KD recovery bug which we all know.


Second, the decay I saw at the cloner was cloning condition damage window message after I cloned. You don't recieve this message when you take dmg from jedi. Only when you clone.








This exact same thing happens to Jedi 'cs "Stasis is not the culprit"! There's other factors which are global and affect the entire player base.


Answer this, do you or were you using macros?




I do not use macros at all. Not my style. Also, I do not spam KD recovery. Simply clicking once at the right time is enough.

Don't blame a jedi for a bug that is NOT related to jedi specific but to the CU system.

UMMM chief, u were KD'd THEN stasis'd, acts much like the old KD STarle Shot exploit, except this one isnt a exploit as stasis is ment to freeze u rofl



He's just another BH that thinks Stasis is a sploit. He sounds like the type of person that accused me of using Stasis on a turret the other night.




ROFL!
That reminds me back in the day when I was reported as exploiting when I used FD, wearing my Master Smuggler tag lol!

Establish a keymap with the following commands:


/sit; /stand



I've used this in the past and although it's not 100% it's a good way to bypass some issues.

-----------------


I've had this happen too, I believe it has to do with insurance. If you have uninsured items, they will decay after cloning even in PvP death, at least that has been my experience. Insured items don't seem to have this issue with PvP death.

I know what stasis does, it's been used on me before while the Jedi simply sat and channeled force. We chatted and laughed about the situation.


THIS is different. Stasis is supposed to break on contact but I could not get up after being hit multiple times. The second time I was knocked down I was hit 6 times after stasis was applied.


Why would you then say this is working as intended. Did you read the entire post?


Would it be OK then for a MBH/MCM to apply paralyze then go about hitting you 6 times while paralyze doesn't break? Think about this...


I do not complain/whine to my marks when I lose. I almost always have a good chat aboutthe fight afterwards. Considering my registration date and how many posts I've made it would go to show I only post when it's worth while and I felt this was worthwhile.


But I'll explain it again to those of you who are Jebays or simply don't understand....


Dizzy does not work anything like Pre-CU. Dizzy does not prevent KD recovery, nor does stun or blind or AB.


The good thing is that M Enh. is rare so this bug should be too.

I've also had problems with stasis not breaking on damage. I've reported it twice now and still havent recieved a response. Mean while, I was fighting a jedi the other day and used startle shot. It said that he was startled, but it didnt stop him from wailing on me the whole time.

I too have noticed that problem with Startle Shot but figured it was lag. Due to startle shot duration being so short it's tricky to tell sometimes. I'll do some testing on it.

My advice to the OP is to save your stimpack uses for when you are knocked down like this, also save stomach filling for synthesteak for the same reason. When you're knocked down like that just take your licks and don't spam KD recovery ... or other specials. Sometimes other specials are stuck in the queue and each one will try to execute. Right when you get the "You are knocked down" message immediately stop what you are doing, wait a second, press KD recover. Wait until you either stand up, or get the "Cannot KD Recovery" message. If you get the message wait a second again and try KD recovery again.


The other posters are correct. This bug is caused by lag. I used to be plagued with it a couple of months ago until I took steps with my system set up to reduce lag. One of the biggest offenders was my wireless internet connection. I switched to plain old wired connections to my router and disabled the wireless card. Also I reduced all graphic settings down to their absolute minimum. I also reduced the game resolution to 1024x768 -- the absolute lowest.

yep the above is right. this would be the kd root combo. you can do it too if you have stopping shot but of course you dont like using bugs so you wont be doing it.

The decay came from triple incap death. Game treats it like a PVE death as you arent technically slain.
