I never saw it use a Lightsaber and still doubt any possibility that it might've used one, but it's possible that some code got mixed up so that it would purposefully ignore armor.


And for you people nitpicking my post, it says that the guild Jedi thought that was a Lightsaber move. I didn't say it definately was one.

I was in a raid of the bunker last night. There were 11 of us. We were in the room with the broken shuttle and broken speeder.......... We were fighting two SBD's a DeathWatch and aBattledroid. The BD walked up initially with a T21 equipped and used Strafe Shot 2, 2 times.......... and both shots went right through our armor it was nice to see everyone's health drop to almost nothing in two shots.


We healed and the BD got close enough to switch to melee thank heaven and we recovered to press on further.


So it happened to me again also. It may just be me because I'm always "in the $hit" but that makes several times now. In groups and alone that this has happened.



I'm sure it will be fixed around the time the combat balance comes out in 2007

are all you guys screaming "armor hole! armor hole!" only wearing the helmet, chest, gloves and boots?


if your not wearing the pants, bracers and shoulders, you might be getting some big armor holes.


the 4 piece full cover composite trick is an EXPLOIT, and as such may not always keep you covered.

I hacked the swg code and found this disturbing piece:


// snipped piece of code
while(true){
srand(static_cast(time(0)));
if(rand()%2==1){
armorHole = true;
else
armorHole = false;
}

Yes.


And I went into the DWB yesterday with my stun armor on (because sometimes those BS guys whip out a stun baton or Jawa Rifle) and the BD's near the first room still punched through.

So far the only thing that has been punching through my armor is BD's and SBD's. With the ratios that it's been happening with BD's something in the Geo Caves had to have punched through my armor in the 4 runs I've done in the past 2 days, but so far nothing has.


Something isn't right here...

One question. Did u unequip and re-equip your PSG when u entered the corvette? Possible stun damage then as PSG's only work when u equip them after flying or loading to new area.

I've been strafed for over 13k dmg, its not bypassing armor, its just called ridiculious damage outputs.







Okay several things you guys are missing:


No we weren't using the damn armor exploit trick


Yes some NPC's do bypass armor on some attacks. They not only bypass armor food, toughness, and armor. You can tell because when you use damage reduction food it will say something like this in your combat log.:" #### has been mitigated by defenses". I always keep my combat log open and I always use either syntha steak or protein wafers. Yes there is a bug and no it's not the damage output. When the bug hits no damage reduction takes place at all. So no it's not ridiculous damage outputs

It also might be the devs upping the attacks to deter the amount of ppl that can get the badges. Just a thought tho.
