My saber has 3 perfect pearls and one close to perfect im sabers x4xx and with armor break and KD i can use power attack and hit between 1200-1480 depending on the targets armor ect. Last night in a duel a jedi was hitting me with attacks that were all 1k plus after the duel i asked what his sabers stats were .. they wernt as good as mine but he was a master, and then he told me he had maxed out on ls speed an acc using skill tapes. so wiht max speed and acc a master sabers will hit quite hard in pvp/bh encounters.

As it stands from what I've seen now if a MLS gets even within arms distance forget about it.






And your point is?

Come on people, let's keep this open adn constructive. This thread shows obvious signs that there's some questionable happenings that are creating a unclear distincttion between what's intended, what's a bug and what's being exploited.


For instance, last night I would attack with only a seclt few attacks adn I was showing that others were firing off even though they were not being selected. This was on Dathomir and we were also having sevre issues with spawns despawning as they were killed thus preventing exp and loot. There had been a few times that I appeared to perform multiple attacks during the same instance although with the server as unstable as it was it's very difficult to distinguish what's going on here.


Let's hope that the DEVs reserved approach to inform us of fixes is due to their heavy workload.

I do apologize, we really should be testing this out, taking screenshots with time stamps and combat logs. I think Tanks brought up something along these lines as a possible bug, wonder if he has recieved any confirmation.

You know it! With all the greatness of the Developers they are permitting this flaw to exist in the game. It's been reported since the CU had been pushed to live and it's direectly affecting the game.


Most "overloaders" are avoiding the red flags by keeping their damage within a reasonable limit although they are tweaking out force cost and speed stats. Well, even though speed from crystals and pearls are not correctly being applied 100% of the time,it's probally closer to 20% of time, there's a nice gamble when an unscrupolous players performs this exploit.


It's been addressed on many occasions. It was even address to the Devolpers who were hosting the discussion panel for Jedi. Too bad they refuse to fix this issue and create balance when it's needed to restore integrity to the game and the community.


What is the most damage you, as a Bountyhunter, have been hit for?



I have been hit with one of these exploited sabers. Igot hit with1800+ damage by the same guy twice. I had a health crystal buff and he killed me very fast, itwasnt lag either.All Iknow I was standing there and 3 seconds later I was down. I didnt bother to look at the combat log cause I thought it was just lag. I found out how they are doing it, but I'm not going to post it. I've sent a forum mail to Tiggs on it.




Update:


Tiggs recieved my forum mail detailing (As much as Iknow)how the exploit was being done and she replied to it.. So lets hope they can fix it soon.


Also... If you get hit by one of these sabers, be sure to "/report playername", thencreate a "community standards" ticket.

There is an exploit for sabers. Lets just hope the devs get it fixed. I would suggest if you are hit for damage out of the norm to report the jedi.

Not everyone knows how to do this, because I made every attempt last night to figure it out and could not overload a saber. If it is being done it is not common knowledge. I am not saying it does not exist, I tried server boundries, travelling and anything else I could think of that causes server to not recognize things so I could /bug it. Could not replicate overloading as described. If it exists I hope both Jedi and BH and everyone else will agree with hammering anyone that does it.

As for the two hits at once, I was told the CU brought with it code to discover the "Speed hackers" lets hope this is true and the porgram is not rearing it's ugly head again.

Agreed. MLS+Improved ForceSpd+Doc Spd Buff+ that reward food from the kash Arm quest= Leg hit, bodyhit, and power hit in under 5sec. With those foods and buffs, my zip timer on power hit was at about 1.5sec. I was tearing through the group i was with in duels. Most of them are experianced duelists and very good pvpers. Its all about the food/spice/buff combination. Only thing was i burned through my action like it wasnt even there. So even with spd, your still bound by the action/mind pool.

no one can beat that you realize that right? In 10 seconds anyone would be dead. Soon it's going to come down to which ever jedi gets this method of attack started first. yeah your action runs out but in a one on one fight it will be over before your action is gone.

Yes, and lets not create a witch hunt over this. I had stumpled upon the ability to load an additional item into my saber and at the time it was initially done I thought "that's wierd, I thought I had all my pearls in there." My saber is NOT overloaded, 1 color and 4 pears in 4th gen saber, and I've not spent a great amount of time in trying to repeat this. Just seeing it was able to be done due toa server error was enough for me.
