If it is a exploit report him. Add a comment that if a CSR contacts you that you'll pick up a mission and go after the Jedi so the CSR can see it happen.
You might to try a AoE attack on him. Have your friend duel you and run next to the jedi, then hit him with a AoE. I'm not 100% sure that will work but it's better then standing there getting killed.
Even if cloaked /target will work, you just can't attack until he uncloaks.


Ya, go tell mom tommy is not playing fare!

Think we have enough to worry about instead of complaining to a CSR that tommy is not playing fare.



Ok .. can't keep silent anymore .. fair!!





thank you!!!

Exploits are pathetic, independant of profession. Jedi's exploiting cloak? CSR ticket and nail him to the wall. BH's exploiting to "fix the exploit"? Same thing. I encourage the liberal and equitable use of CSR tickets in the persecution of cheaters.

This has been happening more and more lately. Me and a master rifleman/mbh friend went after a 120k jedi. He cloaks and kills us while he is cloaked. We cant attack back.


If the developers spent half as much time making a blanced combat system that everyone could participate in rather then spending all their time making new exploits so jedi can level without abandon this game might be fun and people might want to play it more.

The whole time we were getting the invalid target message every time we try to attack him but he is able to attack us just fine.

2 BH correspondents and 1 Brawler correspondent reply to these.


There are over 200 posts about this. (my search was Mark Stuck Building). feel free to do (Mark Stuck Tree) think thats a few hundred more posts.


This was a big issue along time ago, since it could take well over a hour to get one mark.

PS. I didn't post this to argue with a Troll. I could careless what they think. Hopefully this helps BHs that read this. It was a nice trip down memory lane reading some old posts. Almost forgot about Wepps

Thisnever happened to me as an MBH.


My Jedi is MPowers, I never had that kind of bug while fighting BHs.


But after your post I tried to log in and reproduce the bug, logged out while cloaked and such... I cannot reproduce it


This sure must be fixed, but is it really so common?



Edit: btw, report the bug then get a bounty on that Jedi again and track him. If he's still cloaked, call a CSR from live chat and explain them that Jedi can fight back while cloaked, If you're lucky (many CSR will help, really), a CSR will login and watch the fight (invisible). I can assure you this can happen, I used this tactic as an MBH and as a Jedi when I had to face exploiters (like the macro to recover from dizzy+kd at first attempt, before the CU).

Use the im stuck ticket option also, the CSR's respond to this much faster than a normal ticket.

Guys this cloak issue is a bug, there is nothing the jedi can do to help it. I have never tried it myself, but ive read about jedi who became permanently cloaked untill the server reset. Its only an exploit if the jedi caused this, and he didnt.

wrong. a jedi can hit cloak again to uncloak and stop the bug/exploit.

I've actually had this bug before... Force Cloak that has no force cost, even with 10 people standing around. Try hitting cloak and cloak again to try and get out of it, and it still didn't work. So whoever said hit it twice to undo... think before you speak... its a BUG.

Force cloak is immediately supposed to dissengage when combat is initiated... when it doesn't, obviously there's a problem. (Notice most of the patches have been focused on Jedi related items... so I'd assume it'll be fixed within the next couple of patches)
