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

1.3 adds so much performance i was so surprised, do you remember me slating the game engine a few weeks back on here? lol

If 1.3 is what it is on the PTS ppl will be so happy, i played WZs and a constant 60 FPS never had any drops to 40-50s with any stuttering.

The game looks far more vibrant

Ability delay appears to be gone

I think they have optimized the loading of textures so so much.

The game overall felt so much responsive, the dreaded Hero Engine has been optimized at long last

Roll on 1.3 :)

One of the things I read on the PTR notes was the phantom GCD issue has been resolved. I have a major problem with this on my operative, I hammer my buttons (like a true pro) and frequently I'll press the button and the ability wont activate but the GCD does - weirdly though the GCD isn't displayed as obviously as I have it set to in the options, it really is like a phantom GCD just sneaks in.

I've suffered from ability delay to some degree since launch but this GCD issue can be somewhat frustrating, especially in close pvp battles.
 
Have you had the phantom GCD thing happen to you on the live servers? I thought it was my keyboard first of all but it would appear to be happening to other people.
 
On Nightmare Lands now after a brief spell of inactivity due to new house, switched from Frostclaw.

PVP queues are fast and constantly popping, unlike the wait times on Frostclaw which were becoming 15-20 minutes before the transfers happened.

Im happy :)

Roll on 1.3
 
I managed to transfer my guardian to Nightmare lands just before my sub expired, I havent renewed it yet, but I may have a go when 1.3 comes out. Do we have many republic players on Nightmare lands around or are you all imperials?

:D Republic are fairly good also - just stomped those dirty imps :P
 
I've not played on the republic side but so far all of the pvp has been empire v republic with little to no queue times which would suggest there is a decent split of players.

On my old server 8 out of 10 games would be empire v empire.


When the group finder comes in a few weeks it should be really simple to get groups together and /1 is pretty much full of guilds looking for players so should be easy for you to find a new home too :)
 
Hmmm, had an email from swtor.net:

"Greetings!

It has come to our attention that you are trying to sell your personal Star Wars account(s)....."

And someone changed my EA password at lunchtime yesterday according to my email trail. Reset and carried on last night, but really. Am just playing a Jedi Sentinal and Imperial Agent on Nightmare Lands - both PvE, with no intention of selling!
 
They're fake Weeble, i got them all time when i was playing WoW and i'm getting them now when i play SW:TOR, just ignore them.
 
swtor.net is swtor.com, copy and paste swtor.net and hit enter and watch it change to swtor.com.

Never seen an email addressed as that though.

Even with the move to TOFN, this game just has the feel of one dying, pretty sad IMO.

It seemed pretty busy when I logged on to take a look. Now they they've got large populations to work with they really could do with some open world pvp stuff.

You would think this would be their no1 priority ..but as they treat everyone mushroom like, its funny the reason I left the game was they killed off world PvP.

The population is very good on TOFN, its just how the game feels, who knows maybe its all in my mind.

A guild member who never left the game (and moved to TOFN ages ago) said even that server had reached the light stage before they opened the transfers ... think that tells you a lot.
 
Since I moved to Nightmare Lands (the same option you have) the pvp queues are pretty much instant. You're looking at a max wait time of a few minutes and these went on well into the night.

I know that pvp servers will have a heavier pvp focus but there are plenty of pvp guilds on pve servers. I know a guild called Space Cats from my old server are 100% pvp and they're on the republic side of Nightmare Lands now, I also now a few players who are looking to start a pvp guild so I don't think you have anything to worry about there.

In summary, transfer, find a pvp guild easily, enjoy short pvp q's, ????, profit.

Took the plunge last night and transferred my main to Nightmare Lands, and boy was I spoilt, server is busy, WZ queues quick even at early hours of the morning (had late shift today).
So started trying to get my name noticed in WZ’s, think won 7/10 and was great fun.
Kept an eye out for to familiarise myself with some guild in WZ’s and a few stuck, also kept an eye out for PvP guild recruiting but nothing that grabbed my interest as yet, but again my 1st night on the server :)

In short if anyone can suggest a guild to apply to or would like to group up for some WZ’s add me and pop me a /w and we can slay any opponent that does not have 3 healers on him :p

Your neighbourhood bringer or frags
Moshpit
