Wow that whole post just went straight over your head didn't it? The grouping issue was one tiny part of the post and not the major issue at all. I guess your "special eyes" must have a selective text reading ability. Hmm that could be useful in some fields such a proof reading I guess, but now much use when reading post in game forums. But good luck to you in your newly found career field. Have a good one.
There are 3 kinds of people in the world.
1) There are those who make things happen.
2) There are those who watch things happen.
3) And then there are those who wonder what happened.

Added the +10 datacron on the fleet as a bug. It's achievable but a pain to get because of the MGGS and few other numerous bugs.

"The Aim datacron on Illum doesn't give a codex and also for some doesn't count towards the achievement."

Still bugged... Tried this at 1:17 AM on 11th January...

The Alderaan Dam (Strength) Holocron is still bugged, however if you move along the cliff adjacent and jump onto the platform below you can use the rungs of the ladder to get up to the platform. (Found this out after wasting 10k Credits on the MGGS thats bugged).

And just a side bit of info, if anyones having difficulty with/or just doesn't want to wait for the damaged lift for the Aim datacron, there is a small slanted rock face on the south side of the island with the holocron on that i managed to get up on with a 100% (Level 40+) Speeder Bike.

I tried the MGGS an Corellia at least 20 times with no luck, then I tried "spamming" the magnetic point, clicking on it 5 or 6 times and it worked on the first try.

For the Alderaan dam, you can get it by jumping onto to lower ledge and then jumping up each rung of the ladder. Takes a few tries to jump on the ledge, but it can be done.

Has there been any word on the two datacrons that body types 3 & 4 can't access?

I know the Alderaan one you can use a buddy to get, but not the corellia one.

And are there any others?

I am down to planets Ilum/Voss/Balmorra to get 100%

My level 50 relic requires THREE RED shards. At 50 the blue, green, and yellow are useless to me. At level 34 I need ONE BLUE, zero green and zero yellow. So basically I have 1 useful shard and the other 4 are ummmm.......USELESS. Thanks!

Oh and i have a type 3 body so that locks me out of more shards. And I can't find a group of people on Alderaan who are willing to go fight huge mobs of elites forever to reach the datacron in the cave. EVERY npc there is elite. They attack in groups of 4 or more at a time. So going solo is impossible. Tried it, dying multiple times. By 3rd time it was a 30 minute wait for rez and 4th time it would only rez me at the medcenter. Would not rez me on the spot at all. This is really disappointing. I was looking forward to the datacrons. I've done them all till Alderaan. Now I will not do any of them. Makes me sad they took a great idea and allowed some sadist to turn it to trash. Sigh, what a waste.
Body is irrelevant to collecting red shards none of the bugs relating to body size prevent you from collecting matrix shards - does stop you from getting the willpower boost on Alderaan unless you use the workaround.

I suspect your problem getting a group / making friends to game with is your angry, entitled attitude. Your lack of matrix shards is not the games' fault - you don't have any red shards because you lack competence and/or patience.

Spoiler

They are all easily accessible at your level. I know - I had them all at your level.

If your point is that you should have stumbled over them in your natural gameplay, well they are rewards for exploring out of the way and hard to get to places so its not really surprising you need to go to the trooper/smuggler planet for your first.
