Thread: I need smart people to help me test why we're going through Force so fast.

I had trouble with macro timers too last night.


I started the macros for aura and infusion...nothing. Then, something around a minute later, they appear.


I also started them several times when they did not appear to be working....and when I did /dump it cancelled multiple instances of the macros.....so they must be clicking away without working, or without the graphics.


Later in the evening, they seemed to work fine.


So maybe something timer related is the deal. My guildies are also reported massive force drains and regen issues while in grind groups.

I sent a PM to Bac to sticky this thread and make this an issue. Thanks for keeping this constructive guys, we've got some good testers in this thread really trying to figure this out. Thanks.

I'll be spending today testing as well, hopefully I'll figure something out.

As for the inconsistent timers, and abilities not "firing" I went to attack a CL 65 Gurk that was just hanging around and it didn't attack for like...25 seconds. Then all of the sudden I had all of this combat spam and he was dead.

Except on my network status my ping was 65 and I was experiencing no packet loss. Very strange.

I have also noticed this problem just running around with my macros up. Before the last publish I was able to run my force infusion, aura, and valor macros and my force bar was able to regen back to full before the cycle was over. Now it is unable to do this and my force bar is being drained faster than it can regen--just running around with macros up.


Something has obviously changed with the last publish.

I also wanted to add that I do not use any macros whatsoever and I am burning through Force too.

Poor Force Management

That doesn't even address the problem. I am talking about running macros without doing any other specials as in combat, throwing heals, any of that. Just walking around town with my macros running. Before the last patch my force was able to regen to fullbefore the macro cycled around and started again and now my force bar cannot. It is not a matter of force management.

So my timestamp says that we aren't hitting any faster, saber hit every 3 seconds. So this is not the cause of the Force hemmorage. And I've watched it for ten mobs now and it's not fluctuating in Force costs for me.

Let's look at what we all have, for defenses and refreshables we all have pretty much Force Run, Aura, and Infusion.

For our attacks we also all have some type of medium damage saber attack, like head, body or leg hit. I'm sure we all have armor break as well.

It's got to be one of these that is bugged. Keep an eye on your Force bars. :-).

Also, the guy that lost 2000 Force for roughly two minutes of cloak is odd too, if you could test some of that for us with a clock and some numbers that would be great.

Tests around nobody and tests around people too, hehe.

I tested the exact same thing last night and just stood in my house, before pub 23 i could run all my macros and force would regen back to full before the next set ran, last night i was dropping steadily with them running.


I also tested regen with robe on and robe off, the results were it took the exact same time to regen back from force aura with the robe on as it did with it off, so theregen on the robes is still screwed up.

Poor Force Management






No, this is countless Jedi doing same routines and watching force bleed away like never before. I used up 5k of force in LESS than two minutes with nothing but saber, force aura, force speed and stims. We've been hunting alot of krayts and do the same routine all the time. Now this routine isn't working, my defender skills are only working part time, and I'm taking WAY more damage than I used to. I can't tank a krayt at all like before. This has nothing to do with force management unless they made a drastic FC increase without telling us, or nerfed out regeneration rates.
