That's not what irony means.

I still see a few "belly floppers" now and then, but it is nowhere near as bad as it was this past summer.

There is however, still a serious exploit involving certain ramp terrain, Force Pull and Huttball, that is used many, many times (Ever see ball carriers get into a ramp corner way out of LOS of the far top of the ramp, start stutter spinning and then vanish? That's part of it...).

Stealth capping in Voidstar is also way down, as CSR tends to hop on those pretty quick when they are reported.

People still abuse the crap out of the Novarre Coast cap/heal-through-walls exploit.

There is still the "No Cooldown" hacks being used (Very funny to see Maras or Juggs out themselves when using this - they will repeatedly Force Choke people with no break in between).

Probably isn't, I've written 5 papers this week and I'm burnt out.

Actually, it was Ironic in an Alanis Morrisette (sp?) kind of way.

Those were all unfortunate coincidences.

I saw someone escape from me under the stairs in Civil War. Is that a hack or a glitch? lol I've seen people plant in Voidstar from inside the door or or unseen on the door. I've actually seen people detonate a bomb while being attacked. I just took it as glitching but I wouldn't be surprised if people were hacking. If you do this you should be banned.

I did see that happen last night. I thought it was just lag. I'll pay more attention if I see it again.

Best hack I saw in this game was in beta. Sith toon would hit you with a stun grenade and then orbital stike you with a 1 shot. This sounds ok except he would repeatedly do it (i.e. no cooldown) and he was a sorc. Went through an entire warzone of stun orbital strike rinse repeat. To say hacking isn't happening is silly...but it isn't wide spread...at least not yet.
-I would rather pay for a great game than play a poor game for free.
-Viable and worthwhile are not the same when it comes to class design.

I agree that lag switching seems to be the most prevalent atm.

Yes it could be regular lag, however always seems strange that the lag can occur when it benefits the other team at just the right moments.
Oh don't get me wrong, it is because it happens at the most opportune times (e.g. firepit), that I assume it might be lag switching. It is because it is an assumption, that I don't level any accusations.
What we don't understand, we can make mean anything.
