*****Official Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread*****

I used paypal though and 14.99USD exchanges directly to 9.96GBP.
Weird :/

Sent a support ticket, any bets on them sending an automated response and not giving me my cash back?.
 
That last patch has ruined the gaming experience for me :(

Companions with a mind of there ow ( don't even show up half the time), Graphics raping my 560 on low, lagfest galore, loading screen randomly popping up (seems this is common) plus many more :(

i was going tp cancel my sub but notice they took it at 2.33am this morning :(

Yeah getting the same vibe here. They are making the game worse (i.e unplayable) with patches. Looks like a whole weekend + 2 days wasted then!
 
I finally got a response to my ticket about ability delay.

They said it's my latency...what the hell?!

My latency as at most 70, and usually around 55-65.

The only time it's much much high is when my housemates decide to download loads of crap, and that's not happened in quite a while.

They say I shoudl switch from a wireless connection to wire to help prevent the latency..
I am on wired, I hate wireless.

God, what a stupid email with no help or even acknowledging that it's a bug.

I suggest putting the graphics back at "High", loads of people have noticed that performance decreases as you lower the texture and graphics quality for some reason.

The only place I've noticed frame rate drop so far is on Alderaan, thanks to all the trees and grass I think.

Once I get into a city, or building everything is smooth again.
That's with x8 FXAA and LOD -3 forced in Nvidia Inspector on a GTX 470.
 
Just trying it again now and it does seem to perform better, what a joke :)

cheers

Also don't use the ingame AA if you can, it kills performance. Also turn off those nasty shadows if they're still on.

AA through the drivers works better than the ingame stuff and shadows just kill performance while looking like lego men.
 
It says AA is not implemented for me in the graphics section of the game (when you highlight it).
Is it now enabled?

Yeah that's just a bug when it says that. It's enabled alright.

Alhough there's no difference between Off and Low, and High mostly just uses AA on your character and companion as opposed to everthing.

AA also doesn't work on AMD 69xx cards yet.
 
Off the top of my head ; entering cover gives 3 dampners that absorb attacks, it gives instant snipe, we can throw an insta conc nade 30m, we can throw a canister to lower your accuracy, we get +30%(maybe 50) speed exiting cover, we can root you from distance and slow, we can DoT you and lob explosives, we can put up a shield for 100% dodge 3secs, we can stun you in melee range, we can lower your armour 30% insta, we get insta gib if your under 30% health, we get insta big range hit att after snipe (cant recall name), we cannot be knocked back if we use our extra cover skill, we have AoE knockback and root and we look damn sexy to boot ! (female obv) :p


P.S are you playing a BH or Trooper ?

A Trooper Commando which IIRC is same as a BH Merc.

Depends if I'm being targeted or not.

If I am I'd break LOS, heal and see what you do. Can't watch for me for long.

If not...

Plasma Nade (1100dmg 1300 DOT), Incendiary Round (430dmg 1360 DOT), Assault Plastique (1900dmg) - all instant and throwable as I rush.

Cryo Nade if you realise you're on fire and start targeting me at this point.

Impact Bolt (1500dmg) and Stockstrike (1500dmg) once I'm over the shield.

When you stand up to fire anything at all, AOE knockback with slow effect.

Now I'll spam default attack which has another DOT of 1k burn, refire the Assault Plastique (15s CD) and Stockstrike (9s CD), meanwhile you can't use your high damage attacks at this range.

All the DOT's I stack on you gain 30% damage when you go below 30% health as well as boosting my damage with gun attacks. About a 40% chance of crits on anything including every DOT tick.


I wouldn't bother attacking a sniper if I'm a long way off and being targeted. I can't close distance that fast and he'll have advantage in range, damage and effects. I'd need to be 20m or so ideally to start attacking.

Next nerf will be BH powrtech i recon, as they are insane at level 50 and can pretty much solo 5 people which is mental.....example, yesterday 1 warzone BH level 50 PvP gear soloing a whole team, everyone left after 5 mins lol

A tank with someone shielding and healing him can do anything he wants. All part of the build. Even a heavy DPS class like mine can't do anything useful againt a tank like that, you need to get the healer(s) and shielders.

However your team was being routed so it's entirely possible their side simply was better made up.


Imps don't have a magical dominance.

These were from yesterday, a few of us from clan just partied up and rolled the dice.

Triple turret abuse. They literally hid at the sides at the end.

Another Alderaan humilation.

But look at the damage tables. I'm the only Republic in the top 6 for damage and they lost horribly.

Then look at who scored for objectives. Imps failed to read the instructions.

What server/side are most people on this forum who are still active playing on?

Might re roll and try to enjoy it, I can't get it out of my head that the end game will be poor compared to WoW.

Also Balmorra, goodness gracious me that was boring.

There is a lot of us on Niman as republic in the guild The Immortals.
 
Alright might come on there, are Legacy names like one per server like normal names? As in two accounts can't have the same legacy name?

They lost, but got more medals. :p

Not sure what medals equate to though in real terms?
