What was your biggest /facepalm moment?

My biggest faceplam moment was just after I came back to the game. I did not realize that you did not need to add upgrade augment slots in order. I cringe at how much I wasted disassembling gear to make all those slots, only to immediately convert them to a higher slot.

Ouch! At least all those creds spent make for a terrific story tho.

As for myself, maybe not my biggest but definately a facepalm moment:

So I fnally reach 55 on my new PT tank. I mail over all the Verpine/Oriconian gear I had stored up from my main but I still notice that Skadge which I use in DPS stance continues to pull aggro from me no matter what. So I literally spent the better part of the week reading guides (yes, Dulfy is awesome!), watching YT videos, parsing dummie threat with Parsec, competely optimizing my rotation and all that stuff. I switch around mods, purchasing a few of the 31 from the GTN. I avoid running HM FPs on purpose because my tanking must suck pretty bad if I can't even out threat my friggin' companion, right?!

Then, while doing dailies on Belsavis I casually notice I never unchecked the taunt ability on skadge.

A fairly large facepalm moment for me was when I decided to switch some crit/surge mods for power ones. Went to get the power oriconian items and i bought the crit ones again... Didn't even notice until I had the mods already extracted. I was staring at the monitor for a whole minute, processing...

Can really only think of one. I have been playing MMO's for years, and always played on a hardcore/pro level. I consider myself extremely well versed in all things SWTOR, having played it faithfully since beta, and rarely, if ever, make mistakes.

So you can imaging how absolutely stupid I felt in a classic Huttball match while tanking the ball to the opponents goal line with my Juggernaut.

In my haste to Tab-target an enemy idiotically jumping down from the spawn point onto the goal line, expecting to Force Charge him and score the final point to win the match, I actually targeted a different player I did not see still standing in the spawn area with the gate down.

BOOM!!!!!! INSTAGIB, ball reset, /FACEPALM

Not my biggest facepalm but recently there's been a jerk on my server using a speed hack. Perhaps because if this, I've been accused of speed hacking twice on my combat sent (who has improved transcendence)

Mine was when I was lvling my Jedi on Voss. I cliked on a glowy blue thing thinking it was a lore object...It wasnt I died instantly and kept wonderig why I died so much as thought it was a bug...Turns out that sumons the nightmare pilgrim Voss heroic world boss - for some reason the mob wasn't loading and i died half a dozen times, I felt a little silly about that XD

Too many to mention but the one that won't go away is during Huttball.

For the first time, I managed to grab the ball straight from the reset and I scarpered off with it. There was only one opposing player nearby and I stunned him and carried on running. Then to my amazement there was no-one guarding the enemy line and I raced over it and started jumping up and down waiting for the commentator to praise my efforts... just to see in chat someone say "wrong way".

I have plenty.. the most recents that come to mind:

Cademimu on Marauder alt. Right before the small elevator for the wookie boss there is a turn where a Gold droid is. Normally noone ever engages it and u cut the turn or just jump to the other side to not agro it and go straight to boss. My jump went wrong and went straight to "the bottom of cademimu". Group laughs and waits for me by wookie boss. I go and do the same thing again.. and a third time... .. i got known by the "flying fat marauder"....

Dread Fortress HM, Corruptor Zero, Guild run, I am in my main Healer Sorcerer ... totally forget about the Concussion Mine. I get it .. Operation Leader starting yelling
-My name - watch out concussion mine
-My name- 3 stacks watch out!
-My name- 5 STACKS watch out!

I cant remember well what to do and start to Cleanse myself like crazy...,

-My name- 8 stacks MAN *** u doing.....

needless to say it was a wipe and then I had the eureka moment to remember what i had to do... and feel the shame of being responsible for a guild wipe run ...


SnV operation - before Olok the Shadow if i remember correctly many times in Pugs there is a part that you can skip some mobs by "climbing a wall".. run.. go down the wall .. run "climb the another wall again" run .. and go down ... It is usual in pugs to see this... Lets say the first time I tried this .. and the second .. it wasnt great .. leaving my poor sorcerer falling down to its death .. and the whole pug laughing... I know this one is very common also to a lot of ppl..

Ties for 1st place:

- So this is Huttball, nice... I got the ball... awright... Hahaa easy run to the end zone.... What are these map arrows pointing the other way

- Tool tip is correct... This is an interesting looking skull.... ::click::

- Join first Tat. OWPVP Op group and head out to meet up in the Jundlands. Ride up to a pack of 20 or so and see their tags render, all red. Discover how the OW respawn system works.

- Playing VG in VS, pull a guy from a bridge to drop him in pit. Pull bugs out and he does a half loop and lands next to me. Dude takes a step back and punts me into the pit.

Getting people the +20 datacron at the bottom of the pit in EV, still priceless 2+ years in.

our tank liked to put his taunt/detaunt next to each other...needless to say when on Toth/Zorn Hardmode and suddenly all hell breaks lose, he changed that one pretty quick.

Our commando healer decided to jump onto the pillar fragment just to the right of the chest spawn area during the solo fight of EV...it evaded and reset everyones fight (this was back in the day when EC was actually hard, and could easily lose those solo fights). He still has the record for most sparkle poweders in a raid....

I used to have my force leap on my first quickbar slot...would have stormcaller targeted while waiting for everyone to get ready...can't count the times It would suddenly just forceleap and start the fight. Common enough for me to eventually move it off my first quick bar slot, and for it to be called "pulling a DOH!" Took me along time to figure out why it would auto leap.
