Thread: FEIGN DEATH BROKEN?
It is certainly a problem for me. Also when I actualy do get it to work, and I go to get up i become incapped for up to 70 sec. This is after the feign death timer is over and i have ham on all three bars and i try to get up, I immidiatly become incaped for a long time.
I am also a Tera Kasi and use Force Of Will to get up from an incap. That is also broken right now and the two may be linked.
I'm master smuggler so my feign death skill is 70 and it usually works pretty quick.
I just took the above advice and had my friend deathblow me, and now feign death is working again. What's really odd is, I was deathblowed by some creatures last night and by an AT-ST and it didn't fix either of those times.

How high up rogue are you guys? I believe that the speed you feign is related to your level.
San, there is something definitely up with our Feign Death skill. I suggest it's a database error, and could be linked into the spice stat bug. The system tells you that you are preparing to feign, but nothing happens. When I had this problem I went up again different types of creatures, spamming FD. Time or damage should not have been a factor in my tests. As Kav pointed out this happens to someone at least once a week, and usually is corrected by the morning reboot, or in my case getting killed and cloning.
Has this problem been reported on TC or could this be yet another stealth change that we are unaware of breaking the skill? Not saying SOE did it on purpose, but something changed recently.
i think it happened to me just last night. I was doing some hunting, some Tortur's, and i FD, got the message on my screen, but the Tortu incapped me anyways, so I have to wait for the incap timer before my character automatically stands up. Then i was fighting some ST's at a camp, bled them all, when my HAMs started dropping i hit FD. I got the message "You prepare to Feign Death" but then I got incapped anyways. Lo and Behold, One of the surviving ST's walks up and actually DBs me.
After I cloned, i never could reproduce the problem again. FD seemed to work fine from that point on.
It's been happening to me EVER since I acquired the FD skill, which admittedly was rather recent. But I am now a master and it's still bugged.
I have tried numerous variations. Attack/FD, Attack/FD/Peace, Attack/Peace/FD, FD/Attack/Peace etc etc etc.
Sometimes I get the message that I am preparijng to FD, other times not. Sometimes the icon appears in the combat que, other times not. I would say that it works about 1 in 10 for me. And occasionally when I prepare to FD, the next blow is MASSIVE, which then causes me to become incapped. Whatever happened to "rolling with the punch"?

I tried ever combination I could think of last night and FD did not work for me either.

Hit FD again
incapped by mob
"you cannot feign death while incapped" message appears
the only solution I found was to have a friend deathblow me in PvP and then when I cloned it worked.
for some reason it didn't work when I died in PvE
