Thread: Feign Death.....PvP
That could've been a bug though, I'm not really sure.

If you fail FD you still fall to the ground but can still be attacked. You must stand and retry.
Hmm... to answer OP: bugs aside, I believe FD is working as intended. FD is meant to allow the smuggler to escape PvP death if it actually works, which at master is only 66% of the time at best. Otherwise it leaves us extremely vulnerable (self knockdown!). On top of that, it is somewhat restricted: FD is actually impossible to do at very low health and energy levels (I can see it being futher balanced by adding a higher energy requirement to it), and health regeneration isn't all that great when down.
Going back to mycase, I'm absolutely positive itwas a successful FD. My attackers were Jedi (about 5 of them - yeah, bugfin has it pretty bad), and when I got the successful FD they all bunched around me for a few seconds unable to do anything. I'm not quite sure how they got me up -- but it's definitely something to test and /bug.
My incident happened before the war.
Nice to hear that FD works even in aguild war situation, though! I was wondering about that.
Currently I'm tagged w/ NOIDS and haven't been around much due to work and 56k lag. Typical run for me involves me getting lag killed or group killed while loading in, but when I normalize the battles are pretty nice, even though the majority of people I face are Jedi.
BTW, Ihave to admit that concussion shot makes clone camping really, really fun.
