Any bets on how far past the scheduled maintenance time they will run?

It was hard enough for them to do normal maintenance work the past few weeks, nevermind an actual patch, heavens above! :eek:
 
Ilum has just got funny, go to enemy turrets, look behind it and there are between 10-20 people just afk to do their weekly lol.

I actually lost in a 1v1 fight yesterday :(
 
I'm kind of in Limbo with this game at the moment. I enjoy it (despite the issues it has and appalling, ignorant developers) but I seem to be following a bit of a pattern and it's left me in rut. The guild I'm in (good people) are Reps on Niman. I've got a Trooper to 29 and a Consular to 30 but so far, neither of the stories are grabbing me that much. The Consular seems to be: -go to planet, find Jedi Master has gone rogue, battle them, heal them, move onto next planet and rinse/repeat. I preferred the Trooper story but I've parked him on Tat as the thought of finishing Tat and moving onto Alderaan fills me with dread.

I've got a Smuggler/Scoundrel to 20 on another server and I don't like the story at all (also having to do Taris yet again is about as appealing as eating my own testicles) so that class is out and the Knight doesn't grab me at all.

I've got a 34 Sniper on yet another server but I'm there all alone, no friends or guildmates and it's a bit of a lonely affair. Despite being one of the more populous servers, it feels about a lively as a Dr Harold Shipman patient.

TLDR- I'm stuck in a rut, Rep classes aren't grabbing me but that's where my friends are. Help!
 
The imperial storylines do seem a lot more interesting, and Dromund Kaas beats Cosurcant hands down as a capital. I've got a 27 sentinel, 25 consul and 24 trooper, and the agent storyline is a lot more interesting than any of them, and this is only at level 15.
 
IMO I am glad to get rid of Wow for good. It was just boring me at times but I admit that I did enjoy it for the 3-4 years I played. This game is really fresh to me I like having the choices. I am only on level 28 but so far enjoying the flashpoints I just dont have much time to play it. Probs just an hour or so each night. I am a new comer to this site and bought my first pc and have been happy with everything so far.

I am gonna stick it out to level 30 and try and alt I think. Might go Smuggler and try the light side rather than the dark :D

Edit: also do you think they will bring server transfere over I want to go to Frostclaw with my friends but dont want to re-roll

I loved my Knight story when I played. Real pity I can't complete it but I don't want to sub just for a story line :p
 
Seems people are experiencing issues with Taris.
I'm just leaving this place now - well I've picked up the bonus missions which I will do.
But I've completed all of my story and "normal missions" without any issue really. Certainly no crashing to desktop etc.

I suppose I could be over-specced, I am running 24GB of RAM in tripple-channel, so really the game can leak as much memory as it likes!

Wasn't the last scheduled maintenance only a couple of hours instead of the 8 they planned for?

Have my fingers crossed they convert the duplicate Battlemaster tokens into the new ones you can use for anything as so far i've had 2 chest pieces and 2 weapons outta the boxes. Shame they aren't doing the same with the champion duplicates as i have 3 rows in my bank filled with unassembled pieces of that, seems almost every champion box contains something since i hit 60 and started opening battlemaster ones. Would have been nice to use them to gear out Vette but the only one i can use sith warrior gear on is Broonmark who i never use.

Like the patch they're deploying right now you mean ?

Ohhh, I never saw that it was happening today - but even then, you have more faith in them than I do :D

Also, their page says, this maintenance is in preparation for patch 1.1... I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't actually do the patch and just said, "We were only preparing for it...." :D

Yeah, Taris jerks all over the place for me unless I turn off grass and turn down tree detail completely. Starts to make you feel sick after an hour or so. Doesn't happen on any of the other planets so far, just Taris.
 
Would read through all thread if i had the time but is there any republic pve guild set up on killian jarro? Not much happening in the guild im in atm. Lvl 33 gunslinger.

Yeah,Taris has been by far the worst planet for performance.

I never experienced any technical problems with Taris, just that it never seemed to end!

I'm a KOTOR fan so it was nice to see the Spire again, and the stuff with the 'Promised Land' refugees, but there is only so many shattered ruins and toxic swamps you can see before you get bored to tears.

Not to mention them bloody swarming Rakghouls that you think won't be a problem at all, until that debuff starts getting into high stacks....:eek:

my PC is really struggling on Taris. Works fine for a while then stutters worse than Gareth Gates.

Based on one of your previous posts you need more than 2gb ram for this game. Even with 4gb it lags like crazy cause the engine has so many problems.

I don't even think adding an extra 2gb will do all that much though :S
 
This game is terribly optimised - I get micro-stutters on it (when forcing AA) & I can play BF3 on ultra with AA @ 1900x1200.

Makes no sense for it to run so bad (taking into account how poor the graphics are) - the engine they are using must be hardly optimised.

On the plus side, if they actually optimise it well - they will be able to increase the models/textures & keep the same performance.
