The balloon needs to stop disappearing half-way. The other 'crons I've run into so far are fine.

I find it easier to jump while on my mount... I died plenty of times on that lift in Alderan, then jumped perfect first time on my mount.

Aye, not all can be an Agent with a Powertech friend. That was a Malgus sent combo in this case. But of all frustrating elements, this one should be up there!

If you keep failing a specific jump, you might want to check your surroundings. Sometimes jumping from a pipe to another, requires you to jump from an angle, instead of head on.

One of my tips make sure to press on the spacebar once your about to jump but not right when you're suppose to. There's a small delay in the time you press spacebar and when you actually jump

Speaking of getting datacrons, is there any place with just hints of where to find them? I don't want to get complete solutions right off the bat, but on the other hand I don't want to spend hours looking for each one either. So far I've seen six of them and been able to get five, but I think there's at least that many I've missed completely.

Best storyline and rpg game I have ever played and I've played computer games since 1982! Howefver, what pocessed the powers that be to put jumping Mario, slow rides, and stuck V's in suce a great RPG game-the datacrons give some nice buffs, but as a 63 year old player I get very fustrated with the design decisions for the datacrons.
The game is very unforgiving about where you stand with seeming magic jump spots like the 1990's games and absolutely no reason to have it in SWtOR!
I know the game could be patched to make the datacrons a little more forgiving; However, the twitch dev's probably won't and so you have alot of your player base unhappy over twitch in RPG-you have that right, but look at all the complaints about it!

What is with people and not being able to jump? Platforming is not difficult.

Ahhhhhh pupil, your Mario Brothers skills are weak!!!!


Yea its annoying but do-able, IMHO, the most annoying Datacron was the Balloon ride Datacron.... Snails Fuuuu...... Ummmm fornicate faster than that balloon moves. Thats assuming it doesnt drop you around the half way point when it disappears.
