I really wish the devs would fix these, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

cancel mine. I finally got the Corellia one and went back for the aim one on ilum..even though it didnt have the icon over it, I was able to click it and get credit for it (I wonder if they reset this datacron since I know I got it awhile back)

I got the Corellia green matrix shard by spam clicking the hook point even when I was in the air and it eventually bugged out and let me on the roof. I started spam clicking after the first full shot.

This is how we achieved the willpower datacron on Alderaan:

At the time I got this datacron, at least a month ago, you did not need a rank 2 mount. A rank 1 mount was sufficient.

Alderaan willpower is not broken. There is a (in hindsight) quite obvious way to get anybody up there. Requires a helper with specific skills that fits through the door. And the solution is not to pull/push the other one past the door. Just look at the large room really carefully, try to get to places and eventually you will see it.

I an convinced this is not a bug at all but works as intended. People are just not looking at all possibilities or are too lazy to try things. Crying "bug" is easy. Datacrons are supposed to not be easy. I hope they do not "fix" this as it is not broken at all.

Took me and a friend only 20 Minutes to figure out and we were quite proud of ourselves afterwards.

In my eyes it is a bug cause this should work for everyone, not just certain bodytypes. It seems weird and out of place.

You wont get the bright shiny flashy message no, but hit the codex tab at the bottom of your quest log (i think this is where it is) and click the datacron catagory, and you will see everything you collected, even how many you have total out of 67 available (for Imp anyway).
