Not taking much damage : SWG Premium Discussions

I was doing some base busting last night and I ran across this BH. He had my bounty I opened up with 4 strong attacks but it appeared he was taking no damage. After a few more attacks the same thing happened. I ended up killing him. I first thought it may have been lag but looking at the combat log it showed I only did about 11 points of damage on each of the 4 opening attacks. After that my damage output was normal. Well the next thing I new he showed up again same thing happend my first 4 attacks were around 11 points of damage each. then after that it was back up to normal. I killed him base blew I went to the next planet. He showes up again the same thing happened again. So to make a long story short this happened to me on 3 different planets with about 10 battles with the same guy all starting out the same way. I know peolpe in the past were posting/seeing simular things but i'm not sure if anyone ever answer how it was done. So if anyone can shed some light on this I would be greatful.

Trouble is with things like this, it can often be lag. I was fighting on lok the other day and got hte message I was incapped, yet I still had almost full health. Then yes, I was incapped. lol

Ive seen people fighting without HAM at all. Due to lag.

The other thing seems to be random. I was fighting someone in a duel or two a few days ago, and although they had the exact same buffs each time, at one time I went down very quick, then the next was quite slow, both the same profession, using similar attacks.

Then of course comes buffs. There are some quite strong buffs around now, with medic and officer and some cube stims from mustafar. People are getting their stats up to crazy levels.


Honestly, i think its more a case that SOE have screwed the code of this game so much, that its completely broken. Nothing happens like it's meant to and its all mostly random, like specials and heals. So its probably the case that most the time our specials fail then when we get a good run it hits hard.

At first I thought it was lag but the more it happened I'm not really sure if it is. I'm going to keep an eye this and see if it keeps on happening. I know SOE has issues but it happened eveytime we fought. Just seem/felt more like sploiting then lag but then again I'm no expert.

thanks fro you reply.

I've noticed this many times in the last week or so.

All the people that had this 'god mode' ability were in the same guilld - one that had a fair few members banned for the expertise trick.

Yes there is an new exploid tho i havend figgered it out jet. It started a while back and its anoying. What happends is that the person dosnt take much dmg at all I seen a BH just yesterday again we where doing guild war with them and that guy didnt take much dmg at all, we attacked him with 4*cl90 and it took us like 3-4min to get him down. It is some thought of rubberband effect, but the good news is he is very likely to go down fast with acid dmg as i had to discover later.

I notcied this happening a few weeks ago. Most folks on the main forums claim that it's only commandos, but that's bull, because I've seen all types do it.

Anyways the research I've done claims that stacking the reactive heal stim and the one that causes the toon to heal a little each time he/she is hit is the culprit. So it's not that the target is taking less damage, it's just that the two buffs being stacked allows the heals to nearly outwiegh the damage.

Of course I do not know if it's true, but it doesn't sound too far-fetched.

If you have a look at the forum its the Expertise Exploit. As I know for sure now SOE is busten down on this exploit. NOT working anymore.

There is definitely something weird going on. There are a certain few people on my server that, when they want to, can take little to no damege. I try and look at all the possibilites such as lag, stacking gcw buffs/stims, etc. but things just don't add up. I find it odd that when someone is attacked by 3 people at once they hardly take damage. Always seems to be when fighting these few people time and time again. Really ticks me off

There was a lvl 72 commando dueling people in Restuss today. He was beating lvl 90's and taking very little damage.. I'm 100% convinced threes definitely some sort of exploit going on.

I have a feeling this is like that Space XP exploit - a few people know about it but they're keeping it to themselves for selfish reasons. Could be that there are people even reading these boards that know what it is but won't share it.

yep , saw a commando tank 5-6 of us solo for about 5 minutes, long enough to take me down in the group and I was munching stim b's reactives, stim b regular and using unstoppable.

Even given they may have had stim c's, unstoppable, last man standing, musclespasm and surpressing fire going on there is no way they should have been able to with stand so much damage for so long.

Usually i Damage Hits are Really Weak and Slow because of Lag it usually Happens to me at Night Somtimes. So Might be Lag

heh, i kno several ppl who r like this, i was takin down by a lvl 77 jedi, and im a lvl 90 jedi, so i got on my lvl 90 medic, and he beat the snot outta me, something is up, it sounds like alot of ppl kno about this, but not sharing, or maybe we arnt looking in the right place

It is straight up Double-professions, rank buffs, and factional stim spams. I saw a commando today throwing bacta bombs and switching between 3 different heavy weapons to get the 3 different dots off. They have not fixed the double-profession exploit. Nobody is telling how to do it now though. Like always the CSR's don't care either. SOE's customer support is comparable to the likes of Dell's.

nuff' said

I know what you mean about the double profession but this is a little different. What I'm seeing in the combat log is that they are not taking much damage at all (the next best thing to nothing). They are not even healing or even trying to heal. It's like they are invinceable.
