Thread: Smuggler Request to the Devs to clarify the changes on Feign Death. What does it mean to us?

This has been a long-standing bug that was fixed because of the impending GCW changes.
JustG, well, can you provive ONE example of how feign death would be useful after this "fix"?
In fact, I dare you to.
You might as well rename it to "I give up, kill me now" command, because doing FD will now be absolutely useless except give the opponent a better chance to kill you.
On nm, just a fix to a skill everyone abuses.
When everyone picks up xx1x smugg for FD just so they cant die, then u know thats a problem.
Its still a great skill in PvE.
Quit whining, seriously you should all be happy.
The IWIN button has been fixed thanks devs

In PvE maybe?
Do I win?
(btw for you idiots who are missing the other half of your brain its effect in PvE is basically unchanged)

My apologies for the one-liner but it is a bit busy around here and I was trying to get you the information and juggle other things at the same time. At any rate, right now (on live) you can not be incapacitated while feigning. This is not as designed. We fixed this so that a person can be incapacitated while feigning.
So Feign Death has been broken since launch? This makes no sense. If it was a bug that a person could not be incapped while FD'd, then what exactly was the point of the special to begin with? I thought the entire point of FD was to "play dead" to avoid actually GETTING dead.

No sir!! this is not the Truth!!
the Truth is that FD was nerfed because of all the BH who are craying and making their petition, because teh Stupid Jedis that YOU devs mekd them soo powerfull use FD!!!! it's not because the GCW or the CU or any thing else....
Ok u nerfed one again a skill from the Smuggler... OK my question is what next???
Why do u don't just drop all the Smuggler Profession from theGame???
we don't have any use!!!... what? u say to sell spice?? well the chef buff are 1000x better! to sell Faction points?? In the last 1 year since I'm smuggler I only got 2 time a request to sell FP, the FP in the recruiter are too expansive, and there is no really use 4 the FP.
u say to speak all languages?? well every 1 can!!
Why SWG need any more Smuggler??? even the slice are more or less use less, (we can't shoose between the type of slice, the Pull out crate....)
in combat, now every move is useless, in PVP and PVE I got killed by every1
Why u just frop every combat Profession and just keep BHS the Stupid Jedi and fancer or TKA??!!!!
Give us at least something usable, give us what we want, give us at least your goal for the Smuggler???
Why do u hate us so much??
Hey I'm german and i think i understan the meaning of the word Feign Death more that u do!!!!!
Do u know how many player canceld the game lately??? 30 of my friends are gone, in my Guild we are only 12 now. I swear u that I will cancel my account at soon my money will end : the 29.03.05

It's a "DON"T KILL ME PLEASE!" button.If I use it in PvP, you don't die, therefore I don't win.If I use it in PvE, the MOB doesn't die (anymore) and I don't win.I lose time. I lose health (blackbarring) I lose armor. I keep the Aggro. How is this an I win button again?
Um maybe because you can't die?
Genius conclusion there.

So now we can get DB'd too? Even although I'm pretty sure the skill description says you cant... I hope to heck thats a typo..
Well I guess that will solve the griefing/black bar issue. I don't have to like it but I do understand it. I'll try to be optimistic as to a complete redesign of FD in the combat upgrade that remains useful in PvP and PvE.
Woop-de-doo, now we have a button that makes us lie down and let people kill us, excuse me if I'm not ecstatic about that.
Looking at reality a bit, this is all because of the Jedi and BH's that pick up enough smuggler to get FD then use it as a get-out-of-jail card, and moan about it in the forums when it gets used against them. Has anyone ever complained about a true smuggler FDing? I doubt it. And frankly I think I have a right to be pissed off when our class gets screwed over because of others that are dabbling.
2 years to spot and fix a "bug"? Frankly I liked it better when the Dev's were leaving us alone.
Once upon a time... rogue/tkm/pistoleer used to be a popular template.. and oh yeah... people complained.
