I got Mindshot 2 last night and I spent the day trying it out doing Imperial Missions and trying some of the harder mobs. I normally lead of with Mindshot 2 and then went to Headshot 2. Occasionally I'd have to run and I noticed if the mob dies to the DoT (Damage over Time) then I don't get any XP, Faction, or looting rights. I would say it happened to me about 8 times today.

Also I had quite a few spawns warp onto me while my targeting said they were 70-130 meters away and then start pummeling me. When I could I ran some but the only warped to right on top fo me again. Quit annoying.

Anyone else experiencing these types of bugs? I bugged it in game but I never know what happens to those.. perhaps they end up in some /null Directory somewhere.

You have to do actual damage not just make them bleed to get exp

The way it works is the bleed from Mindshot draws agression but doesn't count as attacking.

For instance, just today I Mindshotted a yellow con, immediately hit peace and stayed away from him til he was just about out of mind. I didn't hit him beyond that single mindshot, he never touched me. I equip my two-handed axe, run up and knock off the last bit of his mind. I get full experience for the kill, as if I soloed him using only the axe.

If you let the mob die to just mindshot I think it gives you some combat xp. But in order to get weapon xp you have to hit it with some other attack.

Well i just use Headshot2 from a distance and i always get XP.....do u mean only mindshot or any attack that targets the mind pool?

I've encountered both bugs with frequency.

I believe that you just need to be within range of the target when it dies (64m). I could be wrong, and please correct me if so. But i'm pretty sureive gotten xp off of just using the Mindshot alone. ie.langlatches. I just made sure that each mob was within range before they died.

I have also had a problem with both bugs. The warping issue has benn sent in by alot of people. About the bleed not giving exp, well I know that I have sent it in but I also believe it goes into file 13.

When I used Mind Shot to pull with I always follow up with headshot (1, 2, or 3 i have tried all) and the mob dies from bleeeding I do not get the exp and looting rights. I DO NOT let it bleed, and I am always within the 64 meters that is required. I have tested this thoroughly on Langlatches and I know for a fact that if you do dmg to the mob outside of the Mindshot but do not do the killing blow you do not get the exp for it.

That never happens to me Mitadoh. I lead with Mindshot, followed with 2 headshots. As the creature now closes to me, it arrives before the next headshot goes off but just as the Mindshot takes effect (the red teardrops fall down onto it). It dies from the Mindshot kicking in and I get full weapon and combat xps.

I'm not saying you're wrong Mitadoh, I'm just saying there's more to the picture here because it's not happening to all Riflemen.

I have been kiting Kimas and Langlaches for a while, and I find the best thing to do is mind shot each one of the mob once, then run for it. Then just ting each of them once with a normal shot from your gun. If the mindshot wears off, just re-apply it and run away again. All you need to do is hit them once with your gun with a shot that is NOT mindshot, and you will get the exp for that gun. IE: If i mindshot a Kima and then ting him with a pistol, and then it dies in a minute or so, i dont get any rifle exp, but i get over a thousand pistol exp. Its like the mindshot needs another shot to base where the exp is going, otherwise you only get combat exp.

Essentially, you only need to fire two shots to kill a creature. Mind shot, then ting him with something else.

you need to be within the 64 meter mark in order to get the exp and fp's... countless times ive been incapped and the inconsiderate rebel spec op scumbag has walked out of range and died, thus denying me the fp's.. gits...

I do not think its a range thing. I was fighting today shot a reb npc on myimp mission. We where fighting and I was using headshot and mindshot. well he died from the bleeded as I was waiting for my next head shot to fire. and I got nothing for it. no exp no faction no nothing.

I have not been on since my last post and it looks like I won't be on until Sunday. I will go out and test this a few more times then.
