"Just another one to make sure they are aware of, not sure how it's done. But they can crash a client just before charging a Jedi. This is happening WAY too often on known stable clients at JUST the right moment, only to come back a corpse. It ALMOST happened to me, but thankfully I cloaked just before he got there. It is NOT a coincidence, and others have hinted about knowing how to do it.

The other two major ones I know the DEVS are well aware of, but please make sure they know this client crash exploit."

is this an exploit, I just lost to a BH because my character locked up for about 15 seconds, and ofcourse once it un locks im a corpse. I thought this was weird, as my comp never locks up like that. If this is an exploit, its a serious and gamebreaking one!

Which exploit? The timer one is EASY to identify. Put your combat log into detailed (forgot what it's called) and if you see a special spamming faster than it should then you know.

And example, I tested that I could spam bacta shot every 1-2 seconds, usually 2. I found I could spam headshot and adv critical or torso shot every 1-3 seconds untill my action wore out, now this was with a rifle.

With carefull timing and maybe a macro and some speed capped weapons, I imagine 1-2 second spamming of the heaviest shots is easily possible.

I won't post or PM the method used, but I have had them all used against me.

The only one I don't understand is the crashing one, but I have some ideas on how it's done.

EDIT--- I don't use these to exploit in any way, I just did it to test the severity of the problem, and it's pretty severe IMHO.

This seems to be working as intended. You use up your action as you fire off more specials. The same goes with healing eff. The combat timers is meaningless to me as well because in many cases lag makes it look like more attacks are stacked than possible.

Now with the defensive system being the exact opposite of what SOE posted I can see the potential for issues here as well but I probably need to run a few tests. I'm thinking about reverse engineering the SOE combat formulas anyways. Maybe I will look at some of this as well.

Yes, I do remember the pains of being exploited while grinding but what makes a difference is: I didn't make a whining post on the forums because i got exploited, It's simple /report and send a ticket to a csr and grind your xp. Making another whining thread on the forums only causes nerfs and flames instead by doing /report and sending a ticket could get the exploiter banned, warned or suspended, etc...

well then you sir are a better man than me. i screamed, cried, cussed, logged out, reported, ticketed, screenshotted, and anything else i could have done to get rid of the fact that i just lost a ton of xp. did i ever make a post??? not at all. but i did throw my 2 cents in on quite a few that i found in this forum. if you remember in those day's we all stood together, we supported each other. that is what im asking for here.

Yes, there is that method and exploited method of healing, that is the issue. You shouldn't be able to spam the EXACT same heal every 1-3 seconds. With perfect timing or macro, it can be EVERY second, and this isn't lag.

Ran into the massive lag spikeissuerecently while pvp'ing, but the client did not crash (unless it takes a minute...I quick logged each time as soon as it started), it just locked up the game solid. 3 times. Could be just lag, but it never has happened on this level when I'm out pve'ing or whatnot.

1 : In a guildwar,opponents nearby but not engaged. Massive lag spike suddenly. Quicklogged.

2 : SF in battle, overts engaged. Massive lag spike suddenly. Quicklogged.

I know we all stood together in the old timesbut it cant be that way now with jedi crying to make jedi grind easier and getting jedi nerfed.

I see alot of stuff and it seems nothing is being worked out. All that is happening anymore is nerfs to our prof, so while we are gettin weaker the bh's and other profs just get more equiped to take us out. I think our cor needs to get these issues fixed and stop the nerfs or let someone that can handle it. im gettin really sick of our prof turning to crap without any resistance what so ever
