As a Jedi i find that stupid :X They shouldn't be able to speak to the npc
Hope they fix it soon, I'm sick of these abusing Jedi that make more and more people hate them :X
(note that just as many non-jedi exploit but people seems to focus mainly on Jedi for these things)
Agreed. Its always the few that destroy the rep of many.

The Jedi already gets an automatic tef when you attack them even if the Jedi does not attack back. What more do you want? If the Jedi chooses not to fight which is their option they need somewhere to go to escape. Or maybe now the tef should perma root them so they cant go anywhere and you can definitely get your kill. I just dont understand all the arguments if they get away go after someone else who wants to fight. Pretty simple!!!

The automatic tef that you speak of is supposed to restrict them from entering all buildings. This bug allows Jedi to enter faction bases when they should not be able to. Also, there is a secondary bug that allows to them to speak to the recruiter while I am shooting them! You are not supposed to be able to talk to an NPC while in combat.
Perhaps you dont understand what happened. Almost every Jedi that I attack fights back. The fight is usually long (if they are full template) After their force is almost gone they run for it. Everyone wants to fight, but nobody wants to die, so they use the bug to their advantage.
2 things........
1)it's Private buildings, not ALL buildings (I can still run into ANY building in NPCcities while TEFed), that the TEF keep Jedi out of. It keep them out of their "safe houses".
2)The recruiter "bug" is NOT a bug. You can thank Thunderheart for this one (he never liked the old TEF system). This is NOT a bug or exploit. When they changed the TEF system into the new on leave/combatant/special forces system this was implimented so late arrivals for base defense could actually help defend. Faction recruiters are allowable conversations while in combat because if you are attacked by a random spawn MOB by the base you must kill that MOB before you could declare (and if you're a healer type, that's not good). That's also why it only takes 30 seconds to go overt now, so participation in the GCW was easier for all.

this i not a bug, nor a exploit.. working as intended because in the release of said patch it said private buildings.. meaning player controlled buildings.. not bases.. bases are public use, can be entered anytime. can not restrict access through lists.. you want the jedi that is hiding in there.. carry around 200 fp of each faction..
I'm looking at the patch notes right now. There is no mention of the word PRIVATE structure.
Galactic Civil War (GCW)
- Reduce Temporary Enemy Flag (TEF) timer to 2.5 minutes.
- Combat between a bounty hunter and a Jedi for which the bounty hunter has a bounty mission will result in a "bounty hunter TEF". No other TEF (such as factional TEF, for example) is applied. The "bounty hunter TEF" will prevent both the bounty hunter and Jedi from entering player structures, and will eject the player from a player structure if the TEF is received while the player is in the player structure.
- Guild war PVP no longer results in a TEF, unless the combatants are a bounty hunter and a Jedi for which the bounty hunter has a bounty mission, in which case it will result in a "bounty hunter TEF".
- Opposing factional TEF and "bounty hunter TEF" are applied to both combatants as soon as any of the combatants attacks.
please look at line 2... player structures.. not all structures.. so again this is not a bug nor a exploit..
i have hunted many jedi who run into bases.. it is my fault they got away.. not the game nor the jedi.. get over it..

Quit crying about bugs/exploits, especially when said "bugs/exploits" are working EXACTLY as intended. Also, try reading ALL the patch notes before posting.The faction recruiter change was postedwhen the TEF system changed (to aid in participation of the GCW).
Adapt, that's what "GOOD" BHs do. Obviously there's a lot of "HORRIBLE" BHs out there
this is from patch 20...

Thanks for backing up my point. Player structures, as in any structure a player can drop. There is no mention of PRIVATE structures, which would indicate a player structure with PRIVACY settings. It's very clear.

Thank you for clearing up the talking to the recruiter while fighting issue. I'll try and verify your information but you are probably right, you sound like you have excellent details.
However, again, looking at the patch notes there is no mention of PRIVATE buildings. Bases on whatit says, it appears that Jedi should not be able to enter any building that a player can drop. Please take a look at the notes.

learn to kill your mark before he gets in the base..

Please post a link that describes what a player structure is. By common sense definition, a player structure would be defined as a structure that a player can drop. I'dalso point out that3 CSR'sprefer my definition as our guild has had3 JediREMOVED from faction bases when using this exploit.
Also, please dont insult my bounty hunting abilities. I recently received awards for the Most Honorable Bounty Hunter and Best Assassin at the Official Starsider Awards. I've worked hard in gaining respect with my skills, I would say I have a good idea on how to kill a Jedi.
