Don't know to be honest LowbaTherf,
I intially sent in a /bug report and got a response back in under 10 minutes - the response of "you shouldn't be able to fire at all" that I got blew me away - I couldn't append to the response I got, so I deleted it, sent in a "normal" ticket and again, got a responce in about 10 minutes and chatted with the CSR.
I think I remember reading something when filling out the bug report that if it's a serious problem to go through the CSRs and post a regular ticket - not sure though.

i've suffered this problem as well.
in addition, if i have been 'spamming' specials, on occasion i stop auto-firing all together. it makes no difference if i am standing, kneeling or prone. it is FAR more frequent when prone, but as i said, it has happened to me in all the firing positions.

Had this problems as well on corbugtis, err corbantis. Bug reported it as well.
Also noticed when I used flurry shot the strafe 2, once the mob fell down, he kept flip flopping, even when dead. I couldn't change targets no matter what I tried. Finally after about 5 minutes he eventually died and I was able to change targets.

What?! No ability to shoot while prone at all? That sure sounds like a crock.
I've /bugged it twice (follow-up was more detailed) but never got the attention of a CSR. Haven't gone through the formal ticket mechanism (yet).
BTW, I'm Master Smuggler, Master Marksman, BH 0302.
As of last night, it seemed /prone pistols worked, but I'm not positive. Can't recall if carbine or LLC worked.

I read this post and decided to try my prone. I conceiled an elder prone with no problems at 62M out. I then tried at the Jinda cave...again no problem conceling here. I conceiled 9-62m on the Jinda's and never skipped a beat. How strange is that? Why would some have problems and others not?

I also forgot to mention that I ran into another rifleman while I was conceling and elder. He went with me on the next one and he also had no problems. I asked him if he had run across any such problems and he stated that he had conceiled and never had problems either all day long he said. Not that this info helps...just thought I would tell about my experiences.
Good luck!!

You're talking about conceal shots?
Yeah, the specials still work while you're prone, but regular fire doesn't occur. I can conceal shot to my hearts content, but where my problem comes in is, what if you don't want to use the specials and just fire the gun as you normally would.
Try going prone, and just hit "attack" and see what happens.
Cheers

started happening to my alt char on kauri this past weekend. it's very irritating. i was going to clear the yard of some low level critters like durni or diseased vrelts or the like. lay down, targeted, hit attack, music went on, nothing happened, nothing happened, nothing happened... specials work just fine when prone, but i didn't want to use them on wee beasties like they were. had to kneel to get /attack to work. i submitted a /bug for it, but haven't heard anything from a csr.
and speaking of which, i can't seem to submit a ticket lately, either. when i try it says you must search the knowledge base first, so i search it, go back to ticket page, and it says i must search the knowledge base first... i don't have any open tickets, so it's not that. curious.
but hopefully they'll fix the /prone /attack problem soon. and i'm glad to see i'm not the only one affected, and it isn't just kauri, either.

Want to start a pool to see how long it takes them to fix this problem.
I mean, it's not like there's anything else happening this week that may take them away from dedicating all their resources to fixing this one! :>
