Uthyr Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Ok, so i leveled my commando to 50 and started an alt. Picked my advanced class and said to my wife: 'There it is again, that annoying backpack for your AC. Stupid game mechanic.' So she says: 'What do you mean?'. I replied 'well that stupid backpack you have to carry with you because of your advanced class choice.'. She rolls her eyes and says: 'right click it dummy, it gives you gear.' So my level 50 trooper has carried that backpack with 'great' gear in his inventory for about 40 levels, never knowing it was a gear set that could have boosted me when i was a little trooper. I will now keep my trooper backpack as a visible memory of my ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannic Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Don't feel too bad. I see this all the time in Fleet, "So, I went marauder, how do i get a second lightsaber!! ZOMG!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptwonline Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I got to lvl 30 before I realized my Jedi Shadow could use a two-handed lightsaber AND hold a Focus in the offhand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackavaar Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 LOL Take consolation in knowing that you are not the only player to make that mistake. I recently told a friend that his backpack was more than just something to take up an inventory slot. Luckily he was still fairly low level so the gear wasn't completely useless to him.

SamuraBob_Fl Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I didn't know my SW could blow up barrels until someone told me when I was 40. I thought you needed range to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edryk Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 In all fairness, it isn't explained very well when you choose your AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebular Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Oh dear! i reverse engineered my lightsaber. ...twice... I did this too... luckily though that was in one of the last beta testing sessions.. so I knew better. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditboo Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I laughed. In fairness, they don't make it terribly clear. I know I went a few levels before noticing it in inventory.."say, what's this?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambril Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Cool story, bro! But seriously, this backpack has to be one of the greatest source of issues for beginners. How many times have you seen a marauder/sentinel ask 'How do I get a second lightsaber?'. The problem is that the backpack just appears unannounced - it should have a reward window explaining what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogicalPremise Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Tried to sell mine, then deleted it, though it was junk. I actually raged at not having a second saber until someone whispered "hey moron use your supply pack". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanzoV Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 If it makes you feel any better, there were plenty of low level quests I couldn't complete for some odd reason. Turns out, I didn't know about the "MISSION ITEMS" tab in my inventory -- I was totally oblivious to it. I kept clicking on Droids on Hutta trying to figure out what I was supposed to do.

MelRee Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) I wasted a couple of hours trying to find a vendor that would give me an off hand lightsaber when I got dual spec. Eventually I bought one for ton of credits, it wasn't until 5 levels later when I went to offload my full inventory that I came across the back pack. I scowled for most of the afternoon once I realised there was an orange lightsaber in it Edited January 20, 2012 by MelRee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditboo Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 You should get the quest complete after choosing the advanced class, instead of when you click the trainer, and the supply pack should be in the reward box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
