Re: Datacron Opinions

January 09 2012
I am such a stereotypical completionist that I am going for every single Datacron and have found all of them up to Hoth so far. I find it easiest to find them as I quest so I don't miss any along the way.

I wish my fiance had just let me stay ignorant to them because the jumps cause me so much stress, but I can't leave them untouched because that makes me crazy too. I just smile and laugh at myself for being such a glutton for obvious punishment. I mean last night I spent an hour getting one on Hoth which involoved jumping on slow moving boxes that take 10 minutes to reset each cycle.

I will be so happy when I have found the last one.

If anyone is in the Hoth area I have the item for the Strength +4 datacron which I am turning in at 7PM EST tonight. Its available to anyone who is there when I turn it in I believe.

I'm going for them when I remember too. :lol:


For me I'm not so good with the jumping and manuvering so I'll give it the ol high school try about 3 times and if I don't succeed I move on and come back another day. Also I try to focus on the ones that benefit my character, right now I'm working on my JK so I focus on Strength, Endurance, Presnce and the matrix shard ones.

One more thing. Since a vast majority of the guildies in KoS (not sure about those in LoS) do not come to the forums should we post something in game??

This way we can cover all basis so that most of the guild will be there.


This is just one of the reasons we ask people to sign up on the site here. I'm sure that once something is organized, officers can mod the MOTD to make an announcement in game. But, people should visit the site here on a frequent basis just to see what all is going on.

What about a little section on the front page that lists upcoming events?

This is a great idea. We were waiting to ensure that the vast majority of the fleet had got their ships so we could go to a cross faction planet. I think most of us at least have one character with a ship, so we should find a safe planet for characters who just got their ships for us to meet up. If anyone doesn't have a ship yet, we can make this a regular event, so everyone gets their pic taken.


For those without a ship they can hitch a ride from someone who has one. :)

Great idea~! Would be good to see everyone from KoS and LoS so a neutral place would be best. Again don't worry about a ship as we can get those who don't have one to the spot.

My suggestion is still urge people to come vote. Then take the top votes and hold another vote. I know I've heard majority of people are voting for "Stonewall Gaming Community" but 17 votes out of 43 I don't consider that a lot since majority voted for other things.

I think with so many options the votes are so spread thin that it is seriously going to be hard to see what majority wants. I also as a new person don't get a lot of the names and the reasons behind them. So maybe it might help to kind of have a sales pitch of sorts as to why that name might be good?

Ok I added a lot of information... If people who have high levels of the classes could please confirm the orders as I haven't leveled any class to 50 yet lol. Thanks in advanced. If anything is out of order or information incorrect feel free to pm me or post. If you post please just don't use the companions names :woohoo:


I will be updating the gifts a bit later.

Will you please please PLEASE pop out a datacron and do a little dance, kind of like strippers do with a cake? :woohoo:

In my first character (not in KoS), I didn't really know they were there, so I didn't do too much with them. I found a couple on my own. But with my LoS Sith, I've been getting all of them as I go. I try to see where they are first, then get them when I'm doing missions close to them that way I'm not putting in too much extra effort and getting a nice bump in skill and experience points that will help me out immediately.

But on my other toon, I will come back to all the ones I've missed. I want to get all of them I can.

There are also a number of technical manuals and histories out there that should be available through your library. I have one that goes through Season 5 of TNG, but of course a lot of the information in there now is obsolete because of additions/revisions made via the subsequent three series, as well as the movies.

Re: Datacron Opinions

Apart from just a few, I didn't start looking for them until 50 on my BH. Now I try to do a few every day, but I also keep it to things I feel I need most. Aim, Endurance, Presence, Cunning. I tend to pass strenght and will power, for now anyway. Some of them are a major pain in the bum to get no matter what level you are, hehe

You may also want to get the Presence ones as well since they improve the effectiveness of your companions.

Somewhat off topic, I know, but I just couldn't pass it up.
It is precisely because we are a minority that we should be weary of just going along with what's the most popular. When Prop. 8 passed in California, would you say that it was a good thing simply because the majority of people who bothered to show up at the polls voted for it? I wouldn't.

I realize this is a far less serious issue that we are talking about here. I'm just bothered whenever somebody suggests that the majority always knows best./rant

I suppose it adds up to one-or-more free mods/enhancements by the time you get them all.

I've been running through a planet on quests, then coming back later and catching up on datacrons. They *seem* like they're worth the effort...but man, the jumping ones I *really* hate.

By doing it this way, I know the planet pretty well, and I'm usually higher level, so I am not 'endangered' by running around picking them up. (especially in the inevitable times when I fall from a jump, sometimes into a mob).

I've been collecting all of them.
They do provide some nice experience and a bit of lore, although I think it's more than I'm a completionist, gotta catch'em all.

Datacron Opinions

January 09 2012
Hey All,

I'm curious to see what everyone is doing (or not doing) with Datacrons. Currently, I'm just going after the Cunning datacrons as they provide the most immediate benefit to my character.

Are other people being completionists and collecting them all, or just skipping them all together? I'm curious to see what other people's responses are.
