Hey Rising...

What is the default button for "c"? I changed up all my buttons.

And were you a male or female body type 3?

I have tried all kinds of ways to get thru that door on Alderaan and I can't make it through.

  1. You can report the bug from within the game by clicking on the "?" icon at the top of your screen or by typing ctrl+/ and creating a bug ticket.

    To create a bug ticket you should select the following options once you’ve opened the Help Center:
    Click on Request Help – then click on Create Ticket. On the pop-up that appears, please select the Bug Report Category.

    Please note that this category should only be used to report bugs and not to report a serious problem that is stopping you from progressing in the game.

  2. You can also report bugs via email to support@swtor.com – and you can include a screenshot (if applicable) with your mail. For email reports we ask that you provide the same level of detail as outlined above.
Thank you for your understanding.
Bit silly how this is handled. But sure, I'll do it later.

Looks like a workaround if you can get a skinny with a pull move!
Nice vid ! Should work with a Jet Charge like skill too no ?

Default is to open your character equipment, he most likely changed his shortcuts too

Are you freaking kidding me?
Are you actually recommending that I post body type 3 not being able to get this datacron as a bug report?
Do you honestly still need me to tell you that?
I would have thought that just by reading this thread or the thousands of reports you already got for it, you'd know that. DERP
O wait, you want a bug report so you can auto close it and report it fixed when its not?
Like deleting all the loot I sent to my alts in the mail. DERP

This is the sound customer service makes as it sucks...
May the force be with you.

Fire it, and fire it again as you go up in the air... worked consistantly

Another one I found bugged (and is reported):

The two datacrons on the Tatooine Jawa crawler require one to get on the balloon. This balloon, however, despawns about 3 quarters of the way there. That's a half an hour wasted sitting on a balloon.

Any workarounds for this one are appreciated. Especially since my 3rd blue shard is there for my relic

THe balloon despawned on me the first time and around the same spot from what I read.

I kept moving my character around and avoided the center patch of the balloon and it worked a second time.

I wasn't sure if the square patch in the middle of the balloon dissapeared somehow or if the game thought I was afk for too long and placed me on the ground when it thought I came back.

That's what worked for me at least.

Is this really old? I have every datacron in the game... I'm fatty (4) body style.

FYI - I fit through the door on Ald... took a little angling but it was fine... and the one with the invisible floor was easy... just walked on the pipe instead... I have not had excessive troubles with any of them. The +10 had some glitches and was a pain... but in the end not like it was not worth it. I have 4 of each shard type in my inventory... (except I made my 3 of one type lvl 50 cube)


whiners.

Nope, not old, most of the issues are still there....

Nope, moving didn't work, staying out of the middle didn't work. It's not related to anything the character can do as far as my research seems to find.

im stuck at 65 out of 67 for mine. I have the one on Ilum that didnt count, and I cant get to the green matrix shard on Corellia as it either keeps spawning me back where I started OR tries to spawn me back but ends up shooting me off the ledge to my death lol. Ive gone thru every known site that lists them, and double checked etc, even flew back to a few that were questionable, only to get " You cannot use this item anymore". So yeah I know the 2 I am missing.
