What was your biggest /facepalm moment?

Knockbacks can be a pain. Was sent off into the depths of the droid factory on Balmorra by some large droid. Ended up stuck atop some contraption with no way back up and having to jump to my death to get back. I'd like to say this was a one-off. I can't. I've been caught out there at least twice.

That I didn't manage yet. But... there was this one time where I tried to jump down a slope with my Sentinel.

Was stuck there with no hope of getting out, /stuck did nothing. Had to relog to actually get out. :X

Someone asked "how do you class?" in general once. That sucked.

I didn't know how to throw the huttball when I first started playing.

Ran the sheild the wrong way in SnV

Spent all my ultimate comms on 72s the day before they changed the gear levels and added 78s

Sold my Revan statue for like 50k on the GTN because I thought it was dumb

My biggest facepalms both came with my first toon, a Jedi Sentinel. First one was on Hammer Station when you have to cross that bridge with the short open window to get across. I was lagging behind having gone to grab the destroyed turrets into scrap, the group was on the other side and I'm hearing the warning and their msg'g in Grp Chat "DON"T GO! WAIT!!" Was I smart enough to listen? Nope, thought to myself, I'm a Jedi I "should" be able to get across quickly. Than I proceeded to fail crossing and die 2 more times.

Another was on Ord Mantell with the same Sent, after coming out of a class mission (I was level 21) I had to go there for I ran into 3 more Jedi all of them were over level 20 and one messages me in Gen Chat, "cool lightsaber, where'd you get it?" I told him it was the same one we got from Tython, his answer was "Where?? I'll have to go there and get one". And then and then all 3 headed away.

That was caused by some beta testers. Back during beta you could do what you wanted but people did it with out realizing that they just lost something important to their play through and there was no replacement. The cried and whined so much BW said screw it and removed the ability.

My biggest Duh moment is during HM FE me and my guildies are doing the run we got to the chamber with the big circle cat walk path with to roaming golds droids. We got to the right and attack one of the droids. As we are fighting some one uses their knock back sending the droid flying off the catwalk. As it goes flying off out Tank who is a Guardian had just used force jump and goes flying off after it. We all went duh and then laughed joking that as he went off his character was yelling "GET BACK HERE WHO SAID YOU COULD LEAVE!!"

I first started playing TOR on an old, not very good laptop. I ran everything on lowest settings, and still my laptop went burning hot and loaded things terribly slowly. Since my laptop had a lot of trouble doing pretty much anything, I couldn't walk in a straight line, had to zig zag, and didn't adjust my view a whole lot. Anyhow, stairs would often render slowly or they'd initially look like a cliff because of my camera angle, but then fix itself when I walked on them. This turned into a long series of me assuming a cliff, or elevator, was a set of stairs and dying for it. I recall one Mandalorian Raiders flashpoint, where on the big long cliff, I fell off the edge three times. I felt so bad for my group.

I've only been at this game a few months, so I'm still claiming noob status. I'm sure there's alot of moments that qualify.

But there's one that sticks out in my mind not long after I hit 55 on my first character. A guildie had asked for help on the False Emperor FP. I had the time, and I was due to run through it anyways, so we go for it.

During a particularly difficult mob (either elite or champion, I don't remember) we took a real beating, but managed to down him with just a little bit of health lefft. Somehow, I had ended up on the edge of the platform; not too sure how. We heal up and I go to move away from the edge. But I didn't notice that my hand had shifted on the keyboard during the fight. So instead of backing away from the cliff, I ended up strafing right and over the side.

My guildie had the good graces not to say anything, but I felt like such an idiot over that.

I've had plenty of dumb moments in this game, most stemming from the fact that this is the first MMO I've ever played regularly. My favorite, though, was on my first trip to the Dune Sea in Tatooine, where I found a glowy skull surrounded by dead Jawas lying in the middle of nowhere and decided to click it.

I have never again gotten squished so quickly.
