Speaking from experience, don't auto-follow Medullah on a holocron run. You will fall in a pit/aggro the whole map/get led to your death (on purpose, most likely).

Also, be a Jugg. That helps a lot in a bunch of places. Let some other sucker do all the hard work and intercede to them.

Yeah I'm extremely bad at datacron running.

Better than being a Juggernaut though now would be a Powertech tank. Let someone else do the work then trade places with them so they have to do it again.

I was going to suggest being a sorc and pulling the other person to you/into a pit just before they grabbed the datacron but I thought "nah, that'd be too mean".

And being asexual, although in SWTOR that's probably best, because the romance plots are awful.

How does asking for the original Tracer Missile animation back make me a troll? Are you that offended by someone asking for what he wants? If so you've got some real problems.

Yeah, It's not like I don't have a wishlist of things I want from this game, like the option to swap specs and save my key bindings, or the option to bank gear for different specs. But I don't go spamming my demands on every other post, especially in a thread that no game developer looks at.

What on earth made you think that goons have any influence on ToR development?

Heck, I think it makes it more important to not be spammy and obnoxious with requests. You don't want to irritate and/or alienate the people who could have some influence on what you want to happen.

"Holocron" sounds so much cooler than "datacron".

The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy.
I have all the datacrons except Fleet and Rishi, but I'd be willing to come and grapple people off onto sandcrawlers.

The last time I played this game was 6 months after launch, after I needed a break. I haven't gone back since, until last night, when I did.

Holy cow a lot has changed. It's like they took SWTOR and slapped advertisements and "BUY NOW" signs on every conceivable feature.

Also, I have 50 different skills and a ton of screens and features I don't even recognize available to me. I'm not even sure of where to begin, honestly, aside from pressing 1 to attack.

Questions:

- Is there a way to set 1 to auto-attack so I don't have to keep pressing it? I know GW2 has that, and it was pretty sweet.
- What's going on with companions? I got like 5 messages full of duplicate companion gear, and khem val doesn't even have gear anymore (except for his weapon).
- What other things should I know or start doing now that cropped up since SWTOR launch?

Is there at least a way to set it so that right clicking on a mob uses something other than quickbar 1 slot 1? I would like to shove that over to like quickbar 6 slot 10.

Have you read the first 3 posts? I try to keep them somewhat up to date so there's a lot of applicable information there. If there is something missing let me know and I can update.

It's always going to be quickbar 1, slot 1. This isn't an Action RPG so you really won't be attacking "auto-attack" style often.

As far as "I have 50 moves!" really the majority of the moves you use in combat will fit on 1 quickbar, 2 if you PvP or raid. Going to Dulfy and reading up on your class is a good idea so you know what to use.

If you use a "Start at 60" character, it will put you into tutorial mode which limits the moves you get so you can settle into them as you go through KOTFE.

I actually have a quickbar set with my rotation, which means in some cases, icons are duplicated. But it clears it up so I can use the opening/rotation quickly and then intersperse as needed when doing PvE or the like.

Should I just bother anyone who shows up in a who search for Goon Squad to be invited?

My main trooper just hit 51 (when I came back a week ago or so she was like 45) and I went ahead and threw a sub at the game to get the expansions. I'll probably stay subbed until I stop playing because having quest rewards be unavailable bothers me more than it should.

I'm... I'm still in Chapter 1. What was I even DOING with this character? (Other than the Nar Shaddaa Bonus series which apparently is a level 60+ thing now)

Yes, but make sure you change the filter to guild to find one because it can find Goon in player names too.

I'm kind of stuck being the only guy playing late at night. (What happened to my Aussies?) Doreengreen will happily invite you into the guild so long as you don't have weird rear end characters in your name. It's a rough week, I have to PvP a lot and could use some company.

I playtested for EA and got it through there and the codes were right in the cases. Incidentally the PC version of Battlefront is literally just an empty case with Origin codes inside, the TOR code, and an ad for the Battlefront season pass, which is weird.
