Do you have a little known command you use all the time?




A cool place to visit?


A trick (non-exploit) to getting more out of the game? Share it here.









Here's a little trick I picked up on by accident recently. I don't know if this has been posted before.....


Switching between toolbars with the mouse wheel.


You can switch between various toolbars by using the mouse wheel. All you have to do is put your cursor over a toolbar slot (empty or not)and roll your mouse wheel up or down. Each will switch to the next or previous toolbar setup depending on which way you roll the mouse wheel.

This is just remarkable.


It confirms that all the CU did was to trade one set of problems for another.


Given all of the exploits that players have used to grief others, the priority of the testing process should have been to insure that this nonsense of multiple rooting and not breaking on damage could never happen.


I am always amazed by the Least Common Denominator of players. If there is an exploit to be had, a power that functions improperly, it will draw the immature players like a moth to a flame. Why is this being advertised?


I am saddened that effects like Stopping Shot have been implemented when they are being turned into grief fests. But worse still, that after griefing is identified, nothing is done about it.


In my book, if an ability is demonstrably exploitable, you remove it from the game until it is fixed. You do not leave it there.

Why not make it so that a person can only be rooted once every 2 minutes or so? I think that might help the situation.

i always thought it was a bug on the CU test servers. It made no sence that I couldnt root you and then root the next guy and so on (or even npc/creature for that matter). It seemed to make more sense to put the timer on the recipient like knockdown is rather than put it as a cooldown on the caster. If its a crowd control function i am limited to a crowd of 1 till the timer regens or I exploit some quickdraw special to reuse it faster.

- It's time the devs end the bitter fighting by giving the community a Non Jedi server. We have a few servers with TINY populations that could be changed to this ruleset. I support this idea because it punishes noone. - You can support it too. Click Here!

Just remove BH missions on other players entirely. They arent doing squat to preventing jedi from reaching their goals. ALL they do is breed hate and angst between players from griefing and whining. Remove them completely and 90% of the whining from both sides will go away along with a ton of hatred and anger that is being bred by this system between players. It just makes for an unhealthy gaming environment. New jedi are born everyday and new knights are finished everyday. Most have no problem with lots of jedi, the BH system doesnt prevent it at all, at most it delays it a little bit. Its just a bad system and should be removed. Breeding hate and anger between players on this level is not healthy for this game or the comunity.

DO NOT put in resistances or chance to break on damage. This will utterly ruin jedi versus jedi pvp, its currently THE ONLY way jedi can keep each other from not running around like chickens with there head chopped off.


Before the CU it wasn't much of an issue, dealing 500 damage a hit every second and all. Now adays its impossible to kill a jedi in pvp 1v1 without taking more than 4 minutes, so relying on root and ganging up on opposing jedi is currently the only way to kill them.

If we start to lose XP, then you shouldn't be "1.5x" stronger, also we should be able to use a light saber that we loot from your corpse. Its only fair.

We wouldn't have these problems if there were no Jedi.

If we start to lose XP, then you should be "1.5x" stronger, also we should have to pay the amount of money the bounty cost that wetookfrom the mission terminal. Its only fair.

We wouldn't have these problems if there were no whiny BH's
