One of the more bizarre glitches in gaming history seems to have been found in recently released MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic.
The trick makes players invincible to all enemy damage if they’re dancing, meaning that players can currently boogie themselves out of a tight spot.
Bioware has removed all mention of the bug from the game’s official forums, but thanked fans for bringing the glitch to their attention.
Here’s the exploit in action:
Go out and bust a move, everyone.

Nobody mention the hole in the Death Star on Facebook, or Empire HR will have you on disciplinary!

I wish Home had a bug with the exact opposite effect.

Also, you can just go and stand on higher ground… Apparently a Jedi can’t be beaten if he’s, what, 6 steps up a slope?

It sounds much funnier than it is in that video, looking forward to the inevitable YouTube spoof videos!
Also, blimey that HUD looks messy.

Yeah, I really had no idea where any indication of health was until the zoom :/ mental HUD.

Apparently, “Stayin’ Alive” and “Disco Inferno” have become popular songs of choice on the old republic recently.

BBC news today said ‘Staying Alive’ awards you health. Or is it something to do with CPR…

I think generally staying alive is considered more healthy than the alternative

Hey, makes sense. 70s John Travolta was well and truly invincible. THe 2000’s Battlefield Earth/Hairspray John Travolta though? That’s a whole different matter.

MC Hammer singing “Cant Touch This” should be all over this video.

Adam(jensen) dancing is better imo.
How did Bioware miss this exploit out? I mean, seriously, how does one miss out on an unfair exploit during testing? I imagine that guy/girl must have been getting annoyed when firing at the exploiter.

Guild Wars 2 can’t come out fast enough!…
