im sorry but u guys were talking about how players got thier sabers taken away and slapped on the wrist for using this EXPLOIT but not banned. last i checked exploiting especially intended exploiting (as overloading obviously is) is a immidiate ban/suspension. Although i guess i shouldn't be so shocked because we all know who the devs love ..
I have no problem with banning players that exploit. Ban em ban em all. Woe to the jedi that spent 100 million on their "leet" saber to have it taken away from the CSR.
Yes Tommy you were bad now I'm taking away your saber privelages.

a question, i fought a jedi at MO on dantooine, i found him in the cantina and attacked him and he fought back, but after a couple of minutes fighting he realized he was about to loose so he cloaked, after 2-3 minutes he got back and killed me very very very fast, he hit me with 3 times more damage every hit than before he cloaked. there was no way i could heal the damage he did.
do you think this guy used an exploit?
i have a jedi myself with a saber with max damage 730 and with saber break, kd and powerattack i do about 1k damage, he did over 1k with saber throw..
a saber with max damage 730 = 2x 120 dmg pearls and 2x 119 dmg pearls, i doubt that jedi has a much better saber than my jedi.
It's possible he had his Grinding saber equiped when the fight 1st started.
He may have had to cloak to put 4 of his best crystals in 1 saber for a fast kill.
I've done that before pre-cloak though, but it doesn't mean it wasn't exploited.

I've done over 1k dmg with saberthrow before...it all has to do with how good of armor the person has...if you have mediocre armor then it's like a knife through butter...but if they have great armor I could be hitting for as little as 550 dmg...(both instances with AB).

The new overload only applies the pearl/crystal stats. It does NOT place the pearl/crystal in the saber. CSR looks says "hmmph 4 pearls no exploit here. have a nice day mr/mrs jedi." report if you will but dont expect much from the CSR.they tend to have tunnel vision.

I dont know any Jedi that dont have an ADK on their sabers. There are no "grinding sabers" as far as I can tell.

Any single hit for more than about 1500 is suspicious, armor break or not. Turn on time stamps (under Options somewhere) so you can watch out for the "double attack" exploit too. Sounds like the first guy might have been doing both.
What double attack exploit?

There is a way to get the same attack fire twice in the same instant. Thats all people need to know since explaining it in detail would be promoting this exploit and is a bannable offence.

Nobody can tell for sure. But with Armor Break and KD well-crafted legal sabers will hit for about 1.5k with Power Attack (give or take a few depending on your defenses and equipment). Anything above 1.8k is suspicious, I would say.

Since pub 19 getting a critical strike chance has increased. I have 4 premiums in my LS and I get 1500 to 1800 on NPC's critters, and even the well armed bh. Power Strike damage formula has changed. I don't exploit, I do have accuracy tapes etc. So I dont think this overload exploit is common as peeps think.
I seldom die to the BH that just shows up and engages in combat. The best BH's are the sneaky bastards that are patient, wait until your guard is down and/or wait until your health is low. I can't count the times I have encountered bh's that feel they should be able to hit "I Win" button in toe to toe fighting with a Jedi.
/bow to the BH's out there that have the intellect to be patient and take down his mark.
In fact, I believe those BH's should get triple in payouts. 750k to 1 million credits.

ya, I can reach easy the 1600-1700 dmg on kded player with armor break and power attack. Without AB and with the ranged throw I'm around 1000-1100 dmg. Just to give an idea.
I think it's a matter of very good saber.
What I know about server's zone changing is that the saber speed resets to his basic speed so we have to open the saber, unload all the pearl/crystal close, reopen and put the pearl/crystal inside again. This isa well known issue and the devs are informed (not saying that they have found the solution already). I don't know any other way to overload the saber and I can agree on banning players that are abusing of this.

That I call BS, Power attack is 2.5x, your LS has to be 1000 dmg to be oding 1700 dmg in PVP or 2500 in PVE, my 730 dmg LS can't do any higher than 1300+ in PVP.

I honestly dont think that the sabers can be overloaded. I wanted to make a pve saber and overload it (just for fun) but never could get it to work.
