TC-Gorath
Version 0.113714


* Made incapacitation work if you are feigning death



So... what exactly do they mean by this? Wes? Caylin? Any ideas?

Hmm. Lots of those 'We'll just put it in a patch but won't tell the Correspondents beforehand' changes lately, eh?

I've got a sinking feeling that it means you can be incapped while feigned...


So, the people who like to camp feigners can potentially kill you by simply using the "3 Incaps = Death" rule.


This is gonna suck if that's the case...


I'd rather they just remove FD altogether...save us alot of grief...

Goodness this should be interesting.


So, FD may become pointless in PvP or maybe even PvE. Hmmm...

Thank you, looking forward to more clarification. Gonna be real pissed though if we got nerfed because of Jedi. Makes it tough to sell faction without being buffed now... thank goodness they removed that artificial cap.

Well won't make it worthless in PvE. NPC's don't keep wailing on you when you feign because they believe you are dead. Players on the otherhand always can tell if you are or not by that nice little icon on your status bar and generally HAM left.

hehehe agreed, but given it appears no one saw this one coming - I'm not going to presume or assume what this means or entails

I was perplexed when I saw this, especially since there has been no mention of it here in the Smuggler's Forum, and after all, it is one of our three working specials.


I keep trying to think of what it could mean BESIDES the end of the usefulness of the FD skill in PVP (and possibly even PVE). The way this is worded, there is no other logical interpretation.


So a pure smuggler will lose one of his/her three working specials? (At least in PVP anyway?)


(Hmmm... Maybe people weren't falling down when feigning? Could Tiggs have meant that? I haven't followed the test center bug threads very closely. Nah, seems farfetched...)

Ditto, seemed to come from nowhere Kinda perplexed myself, but guess it is ust to wait and see what she meant by that bullet. Suprised she didn't expect a failry large response to the topic regardless of what it means and just explain it there. Oh well, gonna sit here and see what Wes comes up with or either she posts first.

maybe it's to prevent black-rot?


FD player appears incap'd but cannot be DB'd? (I mean can another player still shoot an incap'd person...I dont think so)

That would be nice if FD would not allow someone to keep attacking and black-barring you, similar to incap.
