As if losing, fighting your way back and trying again until you finally win isnt what video games are about. I blame the "give my loser kid a trophy too" parents. You lost! You werent up to the challenge. Yes, in that case, you were the a loser. In SWTOR that means death. Buck up, take the consequences and try again. Aaaaaand the incoming calls of elitest, you live in your mom's basement, how dare you suggest I'm a loser will begin in 3...2...1...

You must be the developer who wrote this code then huh? If it wasn't intended why was it allowed.. When you are learning a fight, anyway to help reduce repair costs is fair imo.

The second Jedi is elite. And I never said it was that hard, just that it might have been the mission the guy was thinking about. Also any time some one comes to the forum to QQ about that mission, or googles how to beat it, the tactic I mentioned is the answer givin.

Hey folks, cheating the repair cost isn't a valid play style! Look, using 'Exit Area' mid-fight has been known to bug encounters. I've seen it first hand myself. It's obvious that the 'taking damage cancels the effect' was meant to deter the behaviour. It didn't happen. So they just removed it altogether. IMO, this was done to prevent a greater frustration: a raid stuck outside the entrance waiting 5+ minutes for the boss to leave combat because someone decided they're too cheap to pay the repair bill.

Forget the "fight is going bad let's leave" arguments. I don't mind wiping because of a lack of skill or a mistimed whatever. This is a bad idea simply because Flashpoints and Ops are still buggy. A perfect example is EV and Soa. I'm sure my guild isn't the only one that's had stage 3 bug out where Soa just hovers in the air with his shield up and not dropping to the ground. When that happened, we would exit area,and reset the phase. That's not possible now without killing ourselves on the lava and dying first. Why should we suffer for mistakes of the devs? This "fix" is only nice in theory where everything in game works perfectly.

The question that comes to my mind is how does my operations group exiting area have any effect on your operations group? We have our procedures and don't feel the need to involve any kind of video game honor in them. A lot of the time, one mistake means a wipe. If your group feels the need to sit there and wait for everyone die, you still can, nobody is forcing you to push that button. For us, it takes away from the fun and breaks up our momentum when we have to sit there and watch a boss bash our face in, or be the ones that are dead waiting for everyone else to die. So back to the original question, what's the problem with your group playing how you want to play, and us playing how we want to?

We shouldn't have to. It's a workaround for a bug, but it shouldn't be bugged. C. That was just one example of a bugged boss fight. It's the only consistently bugged fight presently without a pit to jump in, but that doesn't mean there won't be more and I would like the exit area option preserved for that eventuality.

But now that a mechanic has been changed, you may want to suck it up and adapt.

Cheating a repair bill is not a play style.
