What's the easiest way to scroll to the next hotbar at the bottom? I have 1 and 2 visible, but I don't know how to scroll the first one to 3 and beyond. I admit I haven't spent much time scouring the preferences, but I don't recall seeing anything. In other MMO's I was used to holding shift + 1/2/3 to switch.

So I got my legacy last night with smuggler
. Story was a bit weak in the middle while you do all the fetching quests. Also DO NOT read the codex for Nok Drayen when you get it... spoils everything haha
Logged into my consular alt after to start getting her to the fleet and realized there is no way to import keybinds!?!?!?!?!?? setting each alt for my speedpad will be annoying
I wish I could have earned some nasty dark side points when killing mother fucking skavak

The default is Shift + Scroll Wheel or Shift + Down/Up Arrow
You can change it in the Key Bindings > Quickslot options.
That is super annoying. I have a ton of alts and every time I have to go set my keybinds to keep it consistent amongst all my characters.
Not just that, but other options like Alignment Gain in the dialog options and showing the quickslot bars and stuff too.

I disagree completely. I am raising Artifice as a JK and it's been nothing but beneficial to me.
I make sure my and Kira's hilts are up to date, and I have no trouble selling crystals on the GTN.
Perhaps this whole don't worry about gear till you're 50 is why some people are struggling with certain classes.
So, anyone have any idea why I'd be having weird mouse sensitivity issues?
And by that I mean that it seems like if I get a framerate dip, my mouse/input won't seem to recognize it well and just spin me all the way around. I've managed to fall of of bridges because of this.
When I was playing a bit of pvp last night I turned all my settings down to low, and was still having the issue. I'm fairly certain my system is up to the task, and I have no idea why it is running so poorly sometimes. I do feel it is a performance issue rather than a mouse issue though.

I plan on taking artifice with my alt consular as well. I personally buy so many mods off GTN that I figure other people must be doing the same. With so many jedi and orange gear, I doubt demand will drop anytime soon
on other note.... some of those purple 340 mission drops sell for a lot of money... looks like I'll keep slicing until I start needing rare mats from diplo
It has nothing to do with levelling and everything to do with end-game balance
Artifice is fine for levelling but useless at 50. The only reason I haven't dropped it is because I have some bizarre obsession with unlocking random advanced schematics for alts or friends to use at level 50 for an extremely brief period before they get an easy upgrade from pve/pvp

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Speaking of, has anyone found any orange gear for things like belts or bracers? I have yet to run into any and I'm level 41. Those are the only equipment pieces I need in terms of moddable stuff - perhaps those can only be crafted?
I have a belt, and I've seen bracers on the GTN. I don't remember how I got my belt. Maybe a heroic? Could have been GTN.
I just started questing in Tatooine with my Gunslinger.
I'm "overleveled". Everything cons green/easy. But even so, Bowdaar (my melee tank companion) is dying to a group of 4 normal enemies. Corso (my ranged tank) is coming out at like half health. Anything with elites, my companion dies.
What's going on? They have about the same level gear as I do. And I have what Nar Shaddaa gave me/commendation stuff. So I don't think it's an under-gearing problem.

I have to say that the slotted outfit thing is the best thing ever to happen to MMOing. Forget the story, forget the cool social point stuff. Being able to dress up my chick toon in hot slutty outfits that upgrade as I put new shit in them is *fantastic*.
I just wish some of the social gear also came in Medium and Heavy versions. Seems like all the cool shit is only light.

Well, I'm currently at 32, I'll worry about 50 when I get there. I enjoy the journey to 50, and having optimum gear on my way there.
If artifice is useless then, I'm sure they'll spruce it up somewhere down the line.
Tattoine is a massive difficulty spike. It's the first planet where you can't really brute force a heroic solo until you're MASSIVELY overleveled (especially Search & Rescue otherwise known as Fun with Golds and Silvers!).
I was in your position, and I had the same problem. Started dying a LOT. I think the balance is totally off (Nar Shadda too easy, Tattoine a little too hard).
Just keep at it and you'll eventually balance out. Getting a group to run those heroics that is competent will really help, as they can give great gear.
It's because Bowdaar sucks, which angers me because having a Wookie is more fun then having a Space Redneck. Even with that said, I do still enjoy having Corso around. I must be the only person in the world that snickers every time he says "Now you're dumb, ugly, AND dead." Yes, I know I'm stupid. Deal with it.
I think they're all light so that everyone can use them. I mean, that's the easy way to do it, anyway.

can anyone explain to me why my laptop can run the game ok at about 30fps outside but as soon as I go into a cave or any other building it drops to about 12?? this is completely opposite of any other game I have ever played.

pics please
I still can't decide whether to pick this game up or not... is it really worth if even if I have nobody to play with?
Also, my laptop didn't run the beta too well... struggled to maintain a 30fps average. I'd put this down to not being able to change many graphical options in the beta (and the fact that yano, it was a beta).
Is the performance of the game noticably better now than say, 8 weeks ago?

I'm a sage but I had the same problem with my tank companions. I out level the content I'm doing by about 4-6 levels and still I found myself having to heal my companion up every 2-3 packs. I even filled out the gear slots he was lacking in with the level 40 pvp gear and still had the same issue. I read that they nerfed tanking companions in beta because they were too good. I'm guessing they over nerfed them. They might still be of use if you're specced healer though.
It was around Tatooine that I switched to my healing companion instead and I literally never have to stop with him. I'm able to tank elites myself and by the time I'm done looting my companion has already topped me off.

The performance is the same.
If you like bioware stories then I would say its worth it, but I couldn't play this game without my friends.

Anyone else get a weird glitch on Tython during conversations, the trees flicker black and their normal color? Does the Anit Aliasing go around cause this in areas with trees?
Right :/ if there wasn't a running subscription, or the retail price was a tad lower, I'd just go for it.
Ugh. This game looks amazing as well.

My Sniper is 50 but I'm debating switching to my Powertech because I just hate the cover mechanic in pvp.

Yeah but that means only the light armor wearers can use them as questing armor. Actually I need to buy a cheap slotted light armor gear and put an equal level armoring mod in it and see what the actual armor difference is between that and heavy armor.
I couldn't stand Corso tanking cause he kept grabbing mobs next to me. With Bowdaar at least I can tell him to run into the middle and I can AOE. I like seeing him throw people around like ragdolls too
I think it was explained that there are more light sources indoors which is why you take a hit. There was also an issue with shadows but that was supposed to be addressed in last patch
you could try setting DynamicLightsLimit in the settings file to a lower value to see if that helps
I'm not even trying heroics right now. Just doing regular quests. I'll stick with it though.
I don't have a healing companion yet
The first 2 smuggler companions are both tanks...

30 BH here, I skipped Tattooine aside from my class quest and went right to Alderaan. I found myself getting pummeled by normal mobs. Had to switch back to Mako from Gault. Gault has some nice DPS but not enough to make up for a lack of Mako heals. Might be worth it if I was a healing spec instead of DPS myself.

Any estimate on your /played across all chars?
When you get your next character (after the next planet), you won't be using those two as much. Risha is a ranged DPS, but you two will be killing everybody pretty quickly, except for maybe two elites...then you need Bowdarr or Corso to soak up the damage as you kill fools.
Separate question for people who are doing Cybertech...are you buying your materials, or do they all come from scavenging and investigation?

Yea that is easily the most annoying bug for me.

Did they just introduce that with the recent patch? I wasn't getting that bug till just recently
At least you can get wins. -_-
Isn't Cybertech scavenging and UT? Armstech is scavenging and investigation.

yup
iv got 2 L33 toons, a 22 and one around 10 and according to raptr iv got 219 hours logged on TOR since early access started.
Get a preform or just spam queue. I lose tons as well, but as I got better geared I found I could make more of a difference. The quality of the average player on my server has VASTLY improved too. We don't pug our way to huttball wins or anything usually, but voidstar at least is totally trivial to win at so I just queue until I get 3 (or 4...fucking bug) voidstars at worst.
Hard to win Hutball against a team with 100 times the experience on the map!
