After tracking my target on kashyyk ( once again kashyyk ) i finally found then in instance 5 /sigh. Took an incap from spider on the way to my mark.

I sat an healed up before attacking my bounty, hit him a few times, threw some poisons on him, things were going great, 1 more shot and he's mine. Then he runs to LOS /angry, frustrated at the time it took me to find him and fed up with LOS being used a CSR was contacted.

The bounty was informed LOS is an exploit and must not be used.

I go back to kash after hearing this good news, my bounty is still on instance 5, great! I proceed in firing upon him, he puts up a good fight, my health is dropping i'm heal, fire, heal, fire, after a few short minutes of fighting and NO LOS use i get my bounty!


If you go to kash and your bounty uses LOS contact a CSR they do help. One other feature that needs to be changed is a jedi can /duel to see if they are your bounty, i propose maybe if a BH has a mission that no-one can innitiate a /duel apart from the BH him/her self.


Many thanks to the CSR for their help

I wish there was a quto-decline feature for duels like there is for grouping. That would probably fix it.

Interesting, to get a CSR do you just use the ctrl+H report harrassment?.

I've used report bug in the past when I have found myself stuck and never had CSRs come down.


The LOS bug even works on enemy NPC spawn, didn't take me long to realize it, just ran from agro-ing masses of animals and then they all of the sudden backed off. I tried to shoot at them and got "Can't see target".

Good - now that its a confirmed exploit (I thought it already was for several weeks?), we should also know that using LOS bugs to lose aggro from critters is the same exploit.

Cool, next time a BH runs there after realizing he bit off a bit more than he can chew I'll be sure to contact a CSR.


(also, to the first poster. You can lose aggro by running around in tight circles for a few seconds. That usually causes the aggro to drop without the need to take an incap.)

Just so you know....just because a csr said it was an exploit doesnt mean squat...csr's have no say in exploits and 90% of them don't even know what the hell they are talking about. Until a red name (dev) says it's an exploit the LOS is still fair game. Don't get me wrong I wish it was an exploit but as it stands right now it's, to legit........

I know the Devs have the final say in what is exploiting or not, but to actually get help from a CSR gets the ball rolling, If they have corrected this issue once then they must correct it again if others decide touse it.


I do not see LOS as fair game when you track your bounty to kashyyk, search 5 instances, get your bounty down to almost no health and they use LOS to heal and protect themselves. Why not just place a safe house? Oh you can not place a safe house because kash is a story driven planet, ( or a safe haven for jedi to grind )


Many Bh's wouldn't even take the time to track a bounty on kashyyk because of all the instances. I did, it took me a long time to do, multiple incaps on the way. I got my bounty I want to at least be able to complete my mission, whether I die or my bounty dies it makes no difference to me.


The above may sound not so nice but text has no emotions. Jedi are huntable on all planets, if BH's take the time to track their mark the old fashioned way then why not have your reward at the end of it? Maybe it is time the devs put us straight as to whether this is an exploit or part of "the game" to stop any further disputes.

Uhm - you dont honestly believe a spot where nobody can attack you (except private houses) is intended game design, do you? Even more so a spot where you can run to in mid-fight, regen all of your damage, and run back out to continue the fight?

Eskie - I hope Alstoned takes that tone with a CSR in game. Surely Alstoned is a saber overpacking LOS exploitin' jedi and needs to be educated on who press the ban button.


Yes, so now everyone get on the CSR report band wagon - report the jedi who rest there between sets of wookiees or who log their cause it's safe and easy. report them all. LOL. People wonder why BH think kashyyykain is ruining the pvp aspect of their profession and a lot of the fun of the game.

Would you care to test out a 400 year old sword to see if it's decayed to condition 0? All the prior testers have no comment. Perhaps a gun which was used in WW I and still fires with high accuracy upto 1km?

If that doesn't get you, then start reading current military specifications for combat equipment.

It needs to be fixed one way or the other. I've watched BH and Jedi both sit in there, which is BS.


I wish it was like UO and a GM would show up invisible and then you'd see a bolt of lightning and the person would be gone!

Ok, can someone explain to me how to contact a CSR???.. Keep in mind I'm on Bria.. What is our CSR's name?


If you create a ticket, it can take days to answer. Launchpad chat csr never help..
