Thread: Exploits (Needs dev response or our correspondent)
jedi too.

As it is common knowledge BH are using exploits on timers, terminals etc etc and even replied to be in existance in a now locked thread by Garva....
Turn off the damn BH system now until you fix this mess, or turn off XP loss for death to a BH. If neither can be done, then SOE should post exactly what the exploit is on the timers so all players have the opportunity to use them for defence of their charachter as well as offense.
I think that is only fair until such time as we can play on a level playing field. (And pigs might fly).

can someone be more clear what or how this is happening then maybe Bac can take it to the devs. I know BH and Jedi both are using it on my server and it's getting discusting.
Both myself and the Devs know exactly what is going on. No need to share it anymore. Its being addressed.

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.

I've also had the client 'freeze' Twice now to the last two BH kills on me. Once was in Eisley, standing looking at the bazaar to pick an item up. Suddenly lag, then attacked, then dead. This was a successful crash in my opinion.
The next was on Yavin getting missions with friends so they could get meat. One minute fine, next huge lag, then found was in the fight, thyroid ruptured, slowed to a crawl but this 'crash' did not work succesful. Ended up dying because ran out of force due to not being able to outdamge the MBH/CM combo another issue entirely I agree).
So thats nigh on 1 million XP down the drain and hours and hours of wasted gameplay..... oh and the obligatory /pwnd hate tells when it happens.
Bacciaca this system is not working, its institutionalised griefing now, endorsed by the system SOE have in placeand needs resolving one way or the other. Soon.
i have not played my Jedi in two weeks just to many things going wrong "exploits, lag, more lag"
may be nothing but lag for me but it is so hard to play "live" if you get killed and can do nothing about it.
can't move then your dead no fun for me so i have just been playing my alt.

what I find sad is that I keep reading about the nerfing of cloak and making the requirement of a saber in hand to use jedi powers instead of fixing of known bugs and exploits. Looks to me as if nerfing has a higher priority than fixing things. Is it me or is this what I have been noticing for so long now.
Why fix when they an nerf? Fixing requires hours of coding, nerfing can be done by remarking out code and reducing some values. Or in this case with cloak, they can just throw it around with different professions and change some varibles and instant nerf aka fix.
