Thread: Feign death not working?
Little bit more info maybe?
Seemed to be working fine for me yesterday.
I got the impression, too. I sometimes manage to feign death instantly and sometimes have an extremely high delay to the point where I get incapped/DBed before feign death works. I have noticed, however, that instant feign death seems to be working more reliable if I am taking damage at the exact same time as I hit feign death. Not sure if this is intended. Is there a link between taking damage (or being atbelow a certain range from the attacking target?)and feign death or should it work at any time in combat?
A definite feign death bug is that you will sometimes continue to slide over the map instead of lying there "incapped". It's a "positive" bug though as it reduces the wait time until it's safe to get up since you will be automatically moving away from the mob
. Still a little irritating at times...
Its the lastestFEATURE of the smuggler...
well im glad its not just me
my problem is that it just isnot working at all.
it uses my action but i just stand there.
i thought it might be when i am attacked by more then one creature at a time but i tried it 1 on 1 and still nothing. i do get the system message 'you prepare to feign death'.
Well right at the time of posting this message i just tested it with an NPC and it worked.
**edit**? (when i first posted about this, i was using itwith pikets)
The only time I've used FD and it didn't work is when I was wearing my full suit of composite armor. I don't know if it had anything to do with wearing the armor, but since then, I've set up a macro that un-equips my armor and then ques FD...
haven't had any other problems...
That could be it then...
Maybe there's something that prevents FD if you're wearing armor...
*shrug*
There is a bug. I've seen it. Several others have confirmed it. The conditions are not nailed down as to why this happens, but usually the next day after a reboot it works like it should again.
Simply put when the bug hits your char, something is wrong and when you feign death, you get the message you're preparing, it takes the ham, delays your acctions, but you're not actually preparing (no icon on your status bar for FD< and when you get incapped its a real incap).
Just try it tomorrow and pray.
