have you had problems with that before at any other location?


I'm try to see if this is aDWB only thing,or if it is just one of our known FD bugs.

I was able to feign last night after rolling up on a target, firing and only then realizing there were 2 kimogilias there. After feign though, I took on several status effects as the kimos battled it out. I was intimidated, stunned and blinded while laying there.

Yes


Just hit the corvette solo to try and recon the place and failed to FD 3 times........subsequently slain 3 times...


Did the Devsremove the ability to FD in these 'dungeons' so to speak to prevent solo smugglers smuggling out the loot??

I do hope not ...

Sometimes Feign Death locks up causing the player to not be able to feign Death in a combat situation.


This has been attributedto if the player uses 'peace' before attempting to feign death, that it causes the problem.


That's one.


I seem to be suffering a mental lapse on others though.

Something I've noticed with the 2 ways I use feign death.



  • IfI queue it like you do a special and let it happen naturally (more risky as your timing has to be impecable. Kindawhy I like it more) I've never had it fail. However, it cannot be your starting special as in, don't initiate combat and insantly hit fd. That's been my highest amount of failures right there.

  • If I use the combat queue clearing hotkey (ctrl-backspace by default), I will sometimes get bugged and be unable to use fd until I reload the client by relogging or switching planets.

So it seems fd has a problem



  • being the first special. This isn't a fd specific bug but a general bug for all specials as I've found.

  • if the combat queue is cleared using the hotkey or /peace.

This leads me to surmise the problem is not with fd but with the combat queue.

Never had that issue, most of the time i dont get it off is cuz of a stun at the point of trying todo it, or i just dont hit it at the right second. to me the Bugs are the fact that you can be bled, stuned,intimidated, lit on fire. poisoned, diseased, blinded and just about anything else when your FD. Is this ever going to be addressed? when is it going to make us really look like we are dead with a white "Corpse of Bankie Snu'gins" next to my body? Or is this jsut going to continue to be a self griefing tool?


I mean the other night i was basicly told by the 3 guys pounding on me that I better log off for the night because if not they will sit there and destroy my armor and if i go LD they will sit there for the rest of the night and wait for me to do the same thing to me. So basicly i was forced to stop playingthe game because of griefing form a few people. THe worse part is with every hit or tick of disease your inc timer jstu keeps going up so even if you want to stand up and take the DB you cant.

Well thats an issue for certain, but it doesn't prevent the player from successfully using feign death, which is the question here.
