Agreed. An "auto-decline" feature for both /duel and /offerride would be great.





About the ONLY sensible thing I have read in this forum thus far.

So if a jedi sees a BH they just target them and /duel and if they turn red it's on?

huh? did i miss something.


If you /tar bh and /duel.... then nothing happens. Just like before the patch code. The BH instead could manually decline the request, but would not be able to accept it.







So what is the exploit? A BH duels a Jedi then attacks the Jedi because they have their mission? Last time I check I wasn't retarded.

as of right now, if a jeditargetsa BH and does a /duel to them and the BH has a mission for that jedi, and jedi gets a pop up that says something like "you can not duel this person, because they can already attack you!" and then the jedi knows that the BH has the mission for him.


The best fix for this, would be to not have the warning at all, still make it so you can't /duel someone while they can already attack you, but dont allow the jedi to get the message that the BH can't duel.


as for /offerride ether having an auto-decline toggle, or having a list of players that can /offeride would solve that problem, like a concent list

The exploit is the Jedi trys to duel the BH when that ability is not there to do so that is a direct indicator he/she has that Jedi's mission. The fact that nothing happens isthe indicator, you challenge anybody else you get the message and option on the radial to duel. Its like playing with a deck of cards and someone bends the king of hearts so they know exactly where it is.

That only works if they see you coming. If that happens, you have already failed. I don't want to run up and duke it out with a jedi. I want him to have to read his combat tab to find out why he died. You need better planning and tactics. Hit 'em before they see you. There are lots of opportunities to do this, just read the bh boards.

I like that idea...maybe tie it in with your friends list or something.
