I was building faction just now, and some guy came by to TEF kill, and so of course, I took off my armor and Feigned. Well, I was prepared to feign, I had my feign icon in my states window, and there were certainly people hitting me. It never happened, and I died. The states on me were stun dizzy and mind-fire.

The only thing I can think of is what has happened to me quite a lot lately. I have been getting killed before my pools actually hit zero. I check my combat log and it confirms this. I notice it mostly with force wielders (3 times with NPC and once with a player Jedi). Were any of them Jedi? There might be a bug with some special, but I don't want to guess at it since I don't want someone thinking I'm going after their stuff. I've also been told it is a problem with server lag, but I don't buy that for every time.

Nope just a pikeman, no jediness. And I've got it pretty much down to a science, I see the guy come, I drop armor, and hit feign. I was dizzy/KD'd, but I stood back upm and the dizzy wore fof quickly, that mightve borked it though.

I know once you FD against mobs, it's damn near impossible to FD again (or at least it used to be). Maybe the fact that you got KD'd registered your FD attempt and you failed the next time you tried or something. Seems to be the only logical explanation other than server lag at this point.

Feign Death hasnt worked for me the last 4 times ive used it, seems to take about 10 seconds to go FD so its pretty useless
if you aren't buffed,makin faction point salesimpossible, theres something the Devs aren't telling us... Again
Deaths wereallcaused by Overt DarkJedi who seem to stalk the streets 24/7...something else that is ruining this game

Well, I sent a ticket in and... Got a system message saying "you have been restored..." after a convo with a csr. Apparently this fixes my problem, havent tried it yet though. Anybody know what being restored does?

I heard it was dizzy.... No really, I would like to see some hard data on FD and states.

I noticed that when farming faction at Talus Imperial outpost, I can't FD when dizzy. I wonder tho if it is because of the /stand line in my FD macro, causing me to fall down, thus no FD. Next time I am in game farming faction I will do a real effort to test that.

Hmmm okay things that might stop fiegn death are....
States, check to see if you are stunned or dizzy. Idon't know about blind but stun and dizzy do effect fiegn death.
Not attacking or not in combat. Fiegn Death is a combat move and you MUST BE IN COMBAT. If you were attacked while you were sitting around and did not hit back or you were attacking an NPC which then died before you feigned then this will also stop FD.
Lastly Lag, it's a killer of all combat specials

Make a macro with "/ui clear combat Queue then /feigndeath. It might make it go faster than 10 seconds. I'm not sure of the actual command to clear the queue, but i'm sure you can find it somewhere.

as I said, the CSR apparently did something that will let me feign again, so I guess it's a known issue...
