You do not need to FD for a npc to be bugged. Sometimes it happens. On my BH I have seen npcs do some insane things, and I have had this happen to me too. Most often when this happened to me it was a duplication error. That means the npc was caught in a rubberband snap. You were fighting a duplicate. That means you pulled him, and then FD on him. Since you FD he couldnt walk away he was still aggro, but the system still snapped the npc back to the starting spot. You werent actually damageing because you were not really hitting him if that makes sense.

If this happens again start looking around the area for another npc the real one has to be nearby. Once you find him you can kill him, and the duplicate npc should be killable.

I had this happen to me on a few bounties. Where my droids duplicated a npc, because I sent one out just before I got in range. So I would end up fighting two or three of them. Sometimes I couldnt kill the duplicate till I killed the original.

The "feign death" ability does not seem to work. I have tested it in PvE with several types of creatures and NPCs. The combat log gives the output:

You prepare to feign death! . . .

However, nothing happens. The toon is still standing/fighting/taking damage as if no command was given. Anyone else have this problem?

Someone else mentioned it, but I haven't seen it. I used it a number of times in PvE and it worked fine for me.

were u fighting multiple enemies at once?

Well, I had it break on me at the village against a Thug, but It didn't actually break.

I think what people think is breaking is what happened to me.

In combat, use FD

Delay kicks in, but because of lag or what not, you die before you get the system Message that "You prepare to Feign Death"

I'veused it a couple times in a duel to see if it works and it was fine.

There (on Lowca anyway) have been some odd lag problems lately. Gameplay isn't affected like fighting and such, but /tells for a while took like 10 minutes to arrive, and Guildchat/Groupchat didn't work at all. So even tho you hit the FD button, it might take a little longer than normal to kick in. Plus, if against Krayts or NS, and you are with Commandos and such, I can easily see how lag would cause a larger delay than normal.

It's not broken, at least I don't think so.

master smuggler here, had no problems with it last night in the village when i had about 2 thugs and 4 of the other ones on me, the delay kinda pisses me off but it worked fine for me

IGN is the same as forum handle

I found another post suggesting that cloning would fix the problem. It does.

I think this bug occurs if you log out while feign deathing... at least i found out it didnt work for me the hard way when i logged in after having logged out while feign deathing.. Also it might be that you need targets hitting you for a certain amount of damage for it to work properly.

Resistance is futile.
