i don't like the fact of the battlefeild expliot but...


if a jedi can't try and hide from you and make it challenging whats the point


BH would be boring if you could just kill every jedi really easy

What?? Another exploit?? Holy Crap! Do these Devs have any idea what they are doing at all?? Lucas recruiting his staff straight out of Junior High now? SWG had alot of bugs before, but this is just insane.


Or did I just misread the post?

I discovered this one the hard way. Tracked down my target, ate and drank the good stuff and got spiced. Raced in, hopped off my swoop, locked on and.... nothing. Invalid target popped up. Tried again and got the same. Very frustrating to stand in front of your Jedi and not be able to touch him.

i can see the argument that hiding in a house or a cantina is not exploiting, since these are private structures. fine, i suppose you ought to be able to hide somewhere. But using battlefields to hide from a BH in a wide open space in which pvp is disabled due to dev incompetence, is DEFINITELY EXPLOITING. On Lowca, Jedi aresystematically exploiting battlefields, going so far as to construct a city around one so that refuge is always close by. Such blatant exploiting ought to be discouraged, and I will be reporting any players who cheat in this way.


/offerride spamming --> FPS = 5 = can't do a damn thing


/acceptride to a vehicle many meters away (not sure what the limit is, if there is one) --> mark teleports behind you into the vehicle, so for an instant you're not sure which direction to continue running, especially if you're watching your toolbar or combat spam. then he speeds away in a vehicle you can't target to disable, heading to the nearest house or cantina, or just in wide circles as another buddy places a house. if you keep your swoop out in case of such a situation, it will be disabled by any jedi with half a brain, if you store and then generate you could be waiting for up to 30 seconds, or if you're smart, you kept a deed in your inventory to instantly generate a new one. but any which way, the jedi has a sureproof way of escape. i have a couple of times managed to knock them out of the vehicle with a root or a kd, but that's only a temporary solution. last night i had one pull an avoid incap, hop in a guy's ab-1 or whatever those turtle cars are called, and take off to a nearby battlefield, prompting my initial post.


something ought to be done to limit this, either vehicles should take substantial damage if any of its passengers are being hit, or they should get flagged and become targetable when an enemy enters one, or something...


and spamming /offerride, which is even worse, i don't what can be done about that
