If you don't get the Jedi's name from the seeker, i'm pretty surethe jedi won't be able to use the /duelto find out if you have hismission. Try it.

I've done extensive testing with this over the past few weeks, whether it gives the "This person can already attack you" message seems completely random. I've tried the house theory, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Tried different planets. Tried being combatant, overt, on leave. I've tried everything. I know in games nothing is actually random, but i can't figure the trigger out for this one.

Before all you BHs get too happy here is whats going on.


The /duel will not "work" while in/on a structure. Meaning for the OP since the jedi was in a house the /duel didn't show. However from what the word is, if both persons are out in the open the "You cannot duel this person because they can attack you" mumbo jumbo comes up. So its not gone per say. Just situational.


I hate the fact all you label it an exploit, I hope you know it wouldn't have been implemented had the BHs not exploited the /duel in the first place. Have a nice day.

A jedi's "exploit" on this does not give him an "I win" button... When bh's enjoyed the /duel exploit, it locked a jedi out from being able to attack in defense at all... he just had to bend over and take it while the bh destroyed him.


A far worse exploit would you not agree? And one almost every BH used almost every time back in the day.


/duel is not big thing, he knows you are there, he's just confirming what he already knows... Try better tactics at stalking your prey.





1) Nerfed by the CU - Annoyed

2) SWG destroyed by the NGE - Pisssed

3) Cancellation to nerf the dev's pay check, priceless!!

yeah, your right they know the moment i load into themining outpost that im there for them and not the other 100 bounty hunters there. Because they have already used /duel on all the other bounty hunters there. What was i thinking. Guess ill have to ask all the bounty hunters logged in on the server to wait to go to the mining outpost at the same time so my tactic of just landing there wont be so obvious who im after.

Correction, if the Jedi knew that the BH was after him, he'd be running. Using the /duel exploit just gave him the advantage as the BH no longer has first strike capabilities(our main advantage)

That being said, yes there are more things that need fixing, but this should have been a very simple fix, so why not fix it now, after all it is a bug, one that a lot of BH have been whining aobut for a very long time.

If I remember correctly, they did this "you are already attacking that target" when you send a /duel because before a /duel would disallow you from attacking back unless you /dueled in return and often than not you wouldn't see that message in the middle of an attack.

ya, back when BH could do it it was nasty, i found out about it quite by accident, i had pulled a friends mission for him because he wanted to test some things, we were in teh same group, so we tried fighting and i thought it was because we were in the same group. I had dueled him thinking we needed to duel to fight(had forgotten i had grabbed his mission) but he missed it, and i had forgotten to /unduel(so to speak)

I'm happy they fixed that, but needless to say, it was something that needed fixing.

Now all that needs fixing is med droids in combat, it's rather dumb what we can do with those droids right now , simple area heal and it's back up and running, and at full healing capacity.

does it matter if its the result of fixing an exploit or not? its still another exploit. and yes it is an exploit, it was not implemented to allow jedi to check if a BH was hunting them or not, as stated, it was implemented to fix the original exploit. i really wish i could have a day at SWG central and have a crack at their coding. It is NOT rocket science to fix this. Imbeciles!!!



Lol.
