Hilarious SWTOR Bug Makes Dancing Players Invincible

Update: This bug has apparently been patched. Dance on!

In news that comes directly from the “how in the world did this get overlooked” file, it appears that savvy Old Republic players have picked up on a hilarious and game-breaking glitch in the popular MMORPG. Namely, that dancing while in combat makes your player character completely immune to damage.

The bug isn’t necessarily a god cheat – you’ll have to activate the dancing emote at just the right moment to make it work. However, if you happen to pull it off, you’ll interrupt the targeting of any enemy scoping you out for the duration of your dance. Oops!

It’s amazing that this bug somehow made it into the finished version of SWTOR, and you can bet that Bioware will be getting it patched post-haste. In the meantime, any mention of the bug is being removed from the official SWTOR forums; Bioware claims this is just standard operating procedure (they don’t want players spreading glitches).

SWTOR is still young, so there’s bound to be a few weird bugs. Every MMO has them – what is your favorite legendary MMORPG glitch?
