Thread: Please fix fiegn death...

Why is it that you can keep shooting someone that is feigned, but you can not shoot a normal corpse? You can't say that you just want to "make sure they are dead"because otherwise you could grief a normal corpse until it cloned or was revived.
They return to spawn point after you go feign, if you feign 200m away because you ran that far... so be it.
People use to be able to feign after laying dots, stand up and walk away without any consequince.

You are wrong, it is NOT working right. Here is what should happen in pvp (in PVE, reaggroing should start fresh):
1. You feign death and appear to be a normal corpse and battle is ended and there is no indication that you feigned if you timed it right. *Don't use it when HAM is full!*
2. Now, here is the fun part. Any medic can use the radial menu on your corpse to "Check for vital signs" If they do, you will recieve a mesage that states *A medical practicioner is checking you for signs of life! You have 10 seconds to react!*
3. At this point your best option is to get up, use appropriate spice/food and burst run out of there because after the timer, you will standup and re-engage. (This is only for overt battle. In a duel, it should just end the duel because normally, you can just type /endduel)
Important! The checking for vital signs CANNOT be something that can be done in a macro! It has to require the minial amount of work via radial menu or everyone will have a macro to do it automatically!
That is a pretty bold statement. IMHO, you should probably reword that. Smugglers are a fairly patient lot, but coming right out and telling someone that they are wrong...well...just opens yourself up to flaming/derision/etc.
Feign death may not be working how you feel it should, and I don't totally disagree with you, but I am not so foolish as to tell someone they are wrong because of it. I think FD should be reworked, but I haven't really considered how to make it viable in PvP as I don't PvP very often. I like the idea of having a medic/doctor being able to tell if we are "faking it" but I don't think your idea is the only viable idea...or the best...Just my 2 cents.

Why do you guys have to lie to the kid?
Feign Death IS broken, even GreenMarine has stated thusly. We were never meant to be targetable when we feign.
It. Is. A. Bug.
It has been since beta 3.
-Phoenix.
If its been a bug since beta 3 thenit may stand to reason that it is not a bug at all.
I would ease up on the wrongs after all it would seem that no one really knows for sure.
Well I dont know if its a bug or not, seems to me it is...but I will see how this washes out
And Yimaz, people could keep vendors and use them after dropping the skill since launch and the devs came out and said that was a bug.
It seems year long bugs are possible lol
