I see dead people....and they're killing me!

[Mudflap]

Anyone else seen a corpse running around shooting people? I got killed by a corpse yesterday. Trouble is, I shot back and never got an indication that a hit landed. Considering I emptied a full clip at close range, I'm pretty sure I shoulda hit. So what's the deal with this stupid bug? Is it an exploit? And how are you supposed to deal with it?

[Eliaas_Demens]

You've been out of the loop it seems. This is a bug, caused by the Adv. Regen implant. Sometimes when used, the implant will heal your character to 101 health. When this happens, you appear totally normal to yourself. But to everyone else, you're a corpse sliding around on the floor. The corpse placement is also off, so shooting the body usually misses the player totally. It's been classified as a bannable exploit, and the fix is currently on the test server.

hasnt the fix just gone live?

And yeah :) where you been??? LD it has been around a while although in the last week I have seen 10X more people exploiting it :(

LOL ....I love the title of the thread. It's very creative. Anywho, ya this "exploit/bug" has been out since the last patch (if I remember correctly). From the news (main page) it seems that they have fixed this bug and have patched it around 3AM today. But the page doesn't specify if the Test server is the one that received that patch or the main servers received the patch. I am assuming (uh..oh...assuming. We know what happens when we assume? hehe) that it's on our main servers.

Not to sound too pesismistic, I hope they didn't break anything with this patch. If so, oh I am sure we won't hear about it here or the SOE forum :p

I'm hoping they actually fixed it on the real servers, cause it was really starting to piss me off. Last night we faught a HUGE battle and finally pushed our way in to the CC room to hack it, only to find a corpse running around knifing anyone who tried to hack it. His name was Kaptain, and he did the SAME thing to me 2 nights earlier. I reported him both times so I hope he got banned. It's really a huge let-down when you work so hard to capture a base and find out you can't because someone's being an asshole.

Corpse bug i meant to be fixe din todays patch, but it isnt, just got killed by one :mad:

[Lonehunter]

This bug used to happen to me alot, but recently, it hasn't. I'll heal my health all the way and ask people if I'm a corpse and they say no. I haven't downloaded the patch yet either.

[Mudflap]

If you inform someone that they are a corpse, what are they supposed to do? I informed the guy, and he continued fighting as a corpse for at least another half hour. Even managed to kill me again.

[HawkEye]

i dont think the bug has been fixed i just got done playing and i saw a few running around.

[NCG JMan]

Great. If this (corpse bug not being fixed) is not fixed, expect to see more exploiting it. I love it when they say I didn't know and then you see them again doing the same thing again later in the game. Oh well, hopefully they will eradicate it soon. If the corpse bug isn't fixed, do the others appear to be fixed? I am just curious. Was there any new bugs that popped up?

On a side note, how does one tell they are corpse? Do you just change views and you can see yourself as a corpse or does someone need to tell you? I want to be able to help people know if they ask. Thanks.

I've been a corpse before, and there's no way to tell you're a corpse without someone else telling you that you're a corpse.

Also, changing armor types, dying, recalling to sanc, etc... none of those fix it short of logging all the way out of the game and back in.

Banning someone for it is dumb when it is hard to tell you're a corpse without others complaining.

If it's not fixed, do a /bug in game.

[Xenar]

Either they haven't patched it yet today, or it's not fixed... I'm not sure if I was totally bugged cause I was piloting my reaver, but I had 101/100 health this afternoon at one time. I haven't seen any other bugged people but then again I haven't played much today.

[Aegis]

It is definitely NOT fixed, i have seen 3 today after the patch now.

that's because your empire was out-populated. That's one of the boosts you get for being under-populated (+ an XP boost).

Is there a limit (like the in-game chat chan) to what you can type? If the command line is limited, what info should be included?:

1. Certs/implants that one has?
2. Battle Rank?
3. System specs?
4. Location (base/continent etc...)
5. Brief description?
6. Time it occured?

I would think that would be the minimum of what they would need to be able to track it down (fix it). Is there enough room to type all this info? If not, do they just need a brief (yet detailed description and that's it)?
