Does this mean that its a waste for a jedi to wear the +5 Aakuan Ranged Defense rings?

Hmm good question, didn't think of that.

Although it couldn't hurt *to* wear them, not like we are given a huge choice of modded stat rings to choose from. Sigh.

Uhhh . . . actually, I use a gun when I wanna stay away from the fray and still get my licks in. I can use a gun from 60m away, but I have to be 32m away to use the Force.

And I see real advantages to a Master Powers/MDef using a gun - until they nerf this, lol.

quite simply SOE did a really shabby job makeing the CU, this combined with the speed bugs and all the other codeing errors is just a joke, i mean i can understand when a game is unbalanced or when it has a bug in new non-critical content like an added quest, but seriously what kind of MMORPG has broken defense and offense modifers....this makes me even more dissapointed with SOE now.

Also to note this BUG goes for ALL FIGHTER PROFESSIONS !

- Melee fighters get some ranged defense bonuses that are useless for them.

- Ranged fighters get someMelee defense bonuses that are useless for them.

- Don't tell me "it's working as intended".

- It's not working as intended.

- The bugs force us to exploit game bugs to get foods "kind of working".

- Are players intended to exploit?

- They are forbidden to.

- Fix the game.

- Thanks!

First, yes, I would rather that the developers fix a fundamental flaw in gameplay than work on an add-on like the Force Ranking System.

Second, according to reports, this is a *recent* change. Last week or the week before, apparently, everything was working normally; Ranged Defense would be used when you were getting shot at, and melee defense would be used when you were being hit by fists, swords, and other melee weapons.

Today, we get the testing that shows it's *not* working normally.

Is it exploiting to use food saying: "i give you defense against melee attacks" to get "defense against ranged attacks"?

Yes it is.

Why?

- Use something as intended (eat food supposed to produce an effect written black on white in game).
It doesn't work? Submit a bug report.
- Use another food then unequip/equip your weapon to get the new food giving you a boost is NOT a way developers expect players to play (unless they aren't thinking like humans).
Having this kind of "workaround" can lead you to get a +100 boost defense instead of a +70 boost defense planned in foodslimitations. IT IS EXPLOITING.

Lol, my head's spinning. This is so screwed up that I don't know what to eat or drink, whether to hold a weapon or not. How can you ban or report someone for this almighty screwed up colossal developer mistake? 90% of the folks reading this probably can't figure out what the heck is happening.

You say tomato, I say tomahto.

Tomato, tomahto.

Potato, potahto.

Let's call this exploit off!
