Its not just you. My FPS are all over the place. AMD 1055T @ 3.9ghz 8 gigs of DDR 3 1066 oced to 1333. 7970 with some "adjustments" 850W Seasonic gold class PSU. 256G Plextor SSD. More fans than I will ever need. hyper 212 cpu cooler. I am anywhere from <15 all the way to over 120. Its wonky as hell, even with AA and AF off my fps is all over the place still. TOR unleashed helped my base line after i started using it I normally stay 17 fps or above on the fleet, and 20's in a warzone. In my ship I can hit over 150, and in normal pve I sit anywhere from 40-70. Is just the game.

I have the newest (non beta) Amd drivers. 13.1 according to the amd page. I have the newest drivers for my plextor SSD. I have the correct drivers for all my other hardware. Windows 7-X64 is up to date. Ram, cpu and 7970 oc all are stable, and have been for 4 months now. TOR was a fresh install about a month ago, MSE is up to date, Malwarebites is up to date, SP-S&D is up to date. CCcleaner is up to date.

I just feel I should get better performance. Several other mmos have field completion, I don't think its a bad idea. Not for every mission, but for some I don't see why it would be such a bad thing. I doubt it, the mini map displays those huge triangles for missions you can pick up. Its not the class story I am referring to, its everything else. Sub 30 the game just seems to feel "right" in terms of world size, quests and content. You mean the ability to just jump anywhere you already been with no penitently? I would love to see that in TOR with all the back tracking you have to do. Load times (even with TOR unleashed) are very long. I just had a refresh back in January. Everything on my end is up to date. No other issues with Eve, Rift, TSW, Morrowind, Skyrim. Gee thanks smarty paints, I am not entirely sure where I am going to go from this point. As this is the only SW game out I haven't 100% completed. I didn't say it wasn't worth the cost, did I? i want to see the game improved. I don't care what you do. But I hope you enjoy doing it. I wish. No its not.

I did not say everything was fine, I had specific complaints. None of those have you even mentioned. Eve is among the games I count as "always" fun. Yes, it does have unique stories, I said that in the op. My drivers are fine, I have no issues in Rfit, Eve, Skyrim, Morrowind or any other number of games. I didn't say the game was laggy, I said I had poor FPS compared with what I was getting. Travel times are huge, it has nothing to do with going from speeder to speeder. It takes way to long to go from point to point. Even at 120% mount speed, way to much backtracking. Too much unused space. Distances between point to point are too large with no filler content in between. Too many quests have you going back and forth over and over. Why do I have to go back to ever quest giver for every quest? Why not let it finish in the field. Like rift. The content gets progressively worse as you level, in my opinion. For a game all about the "story" everything else sure is bland. Let me sum it up for you. 1) Too much going back and forth 2) Too much open wasted space, not enough filler content. Its just scenery to navigate. Wasted. 3)Mounts are too slow. 4)Content gets way to bland, way to fast. TOR encourages you to play more than one class. Yet every class follows the same planet route, the same quests and the same thing over and over. On both sides. The only difference is the story line. I am trying really hard to like this game. These are (some) of my issues.

1) I watched SW growing up. The original 3, then the new 3. 2)I never talked about balance, I talked about story. 3)End game was not the point, I never cited lack of content. I said the content to 50 is very bland for alts. 4) The first time, and second time maybe. Beyond that it gets old fast. 5) I never said anything about immersion. Thats exactly my point, it works great for you (are you guessing or using the in game fps?) but worse for me on better hardware. I never commented on sub vs F2P. I have never smoked.

Hi, my name is titanmike. I was in the beta for TOR, and played for several months at launch. A bit over a month ago I decided to come back. I wanted to leave some feed back, and get a discussion going. Once again, I am planning to leave TOR and this time I very likely won't return. Some of the reasons are the same as the last time I let, others are now. The first thing I want to touch on, the game is very poorly optimized, (at least I feel that way) and doesn't run very well considering it doesn't look all that great. I am constantly under 40 fps solo and under 30 in warzones. Even running a SSD, a 1055T at 3.9ghz with 8 gigs of ram and a 7970 core edition I get low frame rates and very long load times. TOR unleashed helped, but a outside program should not be necessary to get shorter load times. Next up, travel time. travel time is absolutely horrid. Its even more apparent with a xp boost as you watch the clock tick down whiling only running story missions. The game has way too many back tracking quests (don't most mmos?) but I think ti should have been handled differently. We have a com, why not make better use of it? This would could down on travel time. Adding into this, I feel that the game is best sub 30, as the world(s) start getting too large. Lots of wasted space, lots of areas with no real content. This in turn makes for longer travel time as you have to navigate these areas. I feel that faster mounts (200% speed and maybe higher) would greatly help reduce this problem, as its more and more apparent when you have more than 1 alt. Some of the best content seems to be in the lower levels, at least to me. The game is supposed to be all about story, and I like the story lines I have played to 50 (trooper/warrior) and the others are generally good from what I have played.(operative, inquisitor, bounty hunter.) However, it doesn't take long for the content to get stale quick. Simply because you are forced to go through every planet in in the same order every time. I think adding in more quests could help ease this problem, more quests on each planet, enough so that you would only need to do 1/2 of them or so would make playing alts so much easier. I also have some good things to say, I think the flash points and other group content is very fun, and I also like the warzones. The story and voice acting are great. I am not saying TOR is a bad game, its just not a great game. Having played many MMO's in my time (everquest, STO, GW2, TOR, WoW, Warhammer, DDO, LOTRO, Conan and more) and currently playing TSW, RIFT and Eve, I feel like TOR should be better, and could be better. But its not. I love star wars, and I like playing mmos. TOR should have been perfect for me. For a game so focused on the individual class story lines, I feel like everything else but the class story lines are in need of lots of improvement. Thanks for reading!

Simply resetting the instance while standing outside the gate will fix it, or at least it did for me. I had this problem Friday night, and resetting the quest fixed it right up. Also some questions about romance options.

lol "carebear" in a PvE focused MMO. Get real, if you want to be a real bear, come play eve with me (you mine rocks, someone will shoot at you), you can't really be a care bear in a PvE focused game on a PvE server. This is by far among the most PvE centric games I have played, so don't worry about how others play. Just enjoy the game. You don't really even loose anything upon death.

I wish I could turn it off, I am just along for the ride to 50. I enjoyed it to get me rolling from level 1 on my second, third and fourth characters. But after a while I felt like my second character was "missing out" on some content I wanted to see and interaction with my follower. Then I started my third character and went to 17, then I started my fourth and hit 14. I have been around since launch, I just wanted to play for the class story for each class at least once. Since I came back I started fresh with all fresh characters and enjoy the ride. I appreciate the effort for the 200%, but I would liked the option to turn it off, or turn it down a bit.

For what its worth, I have a 50 jugg that I leveled and pvped in immortal 1-49 (no 50 content yet), while I did try the other specs, I found that I enjoyed taking a dps follower and guarding them. Having a 27 marauder now, I despise the class in pvp, but find pve much easier with a healer following me around I can just tag mob after mob. Maybe I need to adapt my play style, but jugg seemed so much better at everything but raw dps, but with marauder I just don't seem to live long enough to apply any dps.

The only ones that pop into my head. Mission Vao. Wrex. M1-4X. I have played every BW game from BG1 to TOR. Edit, I forgot HK and Zaeed.

Odd, I liked trooper and didn't like smuggler, but the agent has been great.

I was in beta, I played at launch. I had paid time until April right at launch. I quit in Jan 2012, but came back last month. The man reason I quit. Bored/not having fun. I felt the game need more changes and more time to fix bugs and other issues. Graphics (IMO) where better in beta than launch, but I think they are ok now. I wish we had more in game options for graphics though. When I came back I deleted all my characters and started over. I am enjoying my self way more now. But I am also playing on the empire side.

Consular story always felt like a generic fed-ex quests during the story. The knight was better, but not by much in my opinion. If I had to pick one, I would play knight. I agree, Trooper was good. I played at launch to mid 40's and quit. But Op asked between Knight and Consular. I personally feel that Agent has been the best I have played yet, but my agent is only 12. Warrior has been solid to 42.

I run the following. AMD 1055T @ 3.9 7970 core slightly oc'ed 8 gigs of ddr3 @ 1333. Plextor SSD 256G. Sometimes the planets load quickly, others the wait times are terrible considering my clock speed and ssd. Most games load faster than i can read the flavor text between game-load-game (skryim for instance), yet TOR is hit and miss.
