Thread: Faking Death ...

I am wondering if this is working as intended or broken...
A Combat Medic can use dots on a smuggler while he is faking death. After the cm uses this dots it breaks faking death. So my question is is this basically an exploit and/or suppose to be working ??
Discuss....
The developers stated in another forum on this issue that they intended for some actions to be able to break feign death. This is one of them.
They said something about who no player was intended to have any one ability that made them invulnerable.

And have still not been able to explain the contradiction to this that is +cloak+
It's just a bug that they don't intend to fix.
What they need to do is actually hire a few people to "play the game" instead of rely on all the pve beta testing about how Loam Ridge's buttons are on the wrong side of his jacket. If there were some real employees actually in the game paying attention, the world of SWG would be a better place. They'd pay their own salaries in the first week.
Thanks for the input guys. Was just wondering so i know been doing a lot of PvP with my smuggler.
As far as cloak goes bro... I have Cloak for my Jedi and I am about to drop it. No fun really cause yes it is still bugged and I would much rather have defenses then it. Also I did read somewhere that cloak is suppose to get a fix soon with the ranger revamp because ranger will have somewhat the same abilities as Cloak and Cover. Pub 24 is on TC now but i do not have a jedi there and wish I did at least then I wouls be able to tell ya whether or not it is working there. At the moment you can Cloak, Transfer Force, and Heal yourself as well as other players while Cloaked. I also believe I seen some Master Powers Jedi use Power Attacks while Cloaked. I read that when fixed doing anything will pretty much break Cloak like opening Containers, Healing, Traveling, Transfer Force, and maybe even Channeling Force.
Thanks again for your info. 
PS I am hopping as I read that smuggler will be next on the revamp list. The In-concept page I found and read about is hear if your wondering.

Techniquely, cloak has a counter too... It's not well known, but AOE attacks affect them too, so say, a launcher pistol with CS?
Yea that's why I don't want Cloak anymore. I mean I have close to NO Defense, I take on Very High Damage, and Having to run quicker then making a fight last longer is making me mad.
I just hope for all professions that need bug fixing to be top priority. Seems like some professions out thier other then Jedi and BH are getting attention they just have to keep on track. As for whether these Revamps or Fixes will have any other bugs that is a total different story.
This game does need more content and can't wait to play the new expansion, but in the long run I am hoping to see some kind of ongoing specialmissions for other professions besides BH's. Not just a quest you can do and never do with that character again.
