Thread: Rescue grief exploit!
Im unsure if this is a bug, or intended, but would like othere to "test" it and bug it if so.
I was in a two person group with a friend of mine killing yellow con Gualama's on Naboo. Usually i will snare these to keep them in their tracks while we kill them. However, snare doesn't last forever and i used my last trap. Since i have Advanced Trapping II, i thought it was about time i used the /rescue command. Now since i had never used this before i was unsure if it was a taunt ability, so with the mob still targetted i pressed on the rescue hotkey and got a message something like..... "You attempt to rescue the Gualama". A few moments later the friend who i thought i was rescuing landed shots on me, but we didn't realise this till after the fight.
After the fight it was clear that we were both able to attack eath other as if we were enemies. My char is NEUTRAL and my friend is a COVERT imperial. Does me using rescue on a mob which is fighting a player give me a TEF?
After the TEF ran out we tried to test this again, pulled another mob and i let it hit her. I targetted the mob and used rescue again. We then killed the mob and after the fight checked our TEF status. She is able to attack me, but im not able to attack back (untill she attacks me atleast).
We waited again for the TEF to run out to see what effects it would have if i used /rescue properly on her instead of the mob (Yes now i realise you have to target the person you want to rescue, as its not a taunt ability). Rescued and killed the mob, everything normal, no TEF.
Is this meant to be?, can others test this with friends of various faction standing?
should be brought to the attention to the Devs if possible. Doesn't seem like it should be.
Thanks for the tips on how to rescue, I was wondering why it wasn't working right...
I was going to post this same exploit. VERY bad grief, as it seems to not be effected by faction standing. I'm covert imperial and was grouped with my 2 friends who are also covert imperial. Target the mob, use rescue.. if successful the person who had agro automatically start shooing at you, and you back at them. Seems the third (and fourth, and fifth, so on...) person also gets the ablility to shoot at anyone in the group.
Definetley needs to be fixed. If I was evil I'd lead a group of 20 newb's out of town and slaughter them for fun
