The part I hate about the bug is that those SOB Genosians seem to love using it on me when I run in to loot one of 'em.

Me: killkillkill, run in to loot

Them: spawn, all open up with strafeshots

Me: WTH am I doing in the clone center, and where did my expensive buffs go? And why is my armor so shot up?

Them: -giggle-

Me: (5 minutes of cursing)

Basically it happens when you use any AOE attack. The AOE attack hits all the live targets in front of you like it is supposed to, but also hits the corpses on the ground. Since the combat system can't deal dmg to a corpse it adds up all the dmg done to corpses and deals that dmg to the creature you are targeting. In heavily populated areas where there are corpses all over the place like Fort Tusken and the Lab you can rack up some huge dmg numbers.

I've had it happen to me, but I've never been able to recreate it, both times it has happened was while killing Pikets, and as soon as the one I was targeting died the bug went with it and I was back to dealing normal dmg. I haven't seen it happen in a long time since I don't use my specials much in PVE, but it used to show in the combat spam. It would show "you use flushing shot2 on corpse of picket for 2678 dmg" or something. If you added up all the corpse dmg it would equal the dmg done to the targeted creature. Does it still happen like this or are we talking about a completely new AOE bug?

if i had an area affect attack, i would use it.

if there are several creatures running to wards me im not going to single shot them cus of bad programming

and if a csr attempted to ban me for it, i would hunt the little oik down and castrate him with a blunt spoon.

its not an exploit its a bloody bug.

and the only reason people are annoyed is cus they can loot the corpses.

FYI, this can happen with multiple live targets, not just corpses. The first time this happened to me I had just run into a spawn of 11 ST's and a commander out in the woods, my bike had just autostored and I was going to take a quick trip to the cloner. I lined them all up so that my strafe would hit them all (I knew I would die, but wanted as much faction as possible before I did) and target the commander. My strafe one-shot the commander and they didn't aggro. I hadn't heard of the bug so I thought I had gotten a lucky shot off, so I targeted the next one, same thing, after doing this again I decided to look at the combat spam. Turns out the shots were hitting each one 11 times. So the live ST's were doing the same thing you guys say the corpses do.I sent in a bug report and left, but chances are it's buried and won't be read for a while.
