  2. Replies to Shama, Thanks for your comments. Some of the things you mentioned have merit. Honestly, I don't have a lot of time to play this game. I don't read the codex' in the game because I'm trying to avoid non-playing activities when I play. When I play cutscenes eat of up half the time so in my calculation...an hour of play is really only 30 minutes. This game deals with low bandwidth poorly. This is a dev issue. Right now I need to find out where the wiki is for this game. Not a generic stars wars wiki. I want the link for the SWTOR wiki. Can you provide this? This will help me greatly because I do the non-gaming task like knowledge aquisition offline and not during my rare gaming periods. Thanks again for your time...
  3. Replies to KurginNazzir: Forge, my jedi was getting her lightsaber but the camera only capture "this" That looks like the forge to me so what's wrong? The built-in screenshot mechanic does not always work during cinematics if that's what you mean, they know this. Maps, snapshots of the wrong maps there a slow to update I'm not seeing a problem here. You're on Korriban and that's the Korriban map. ++++ The map displayed is wrong...Korriban is a big place Companion bugs that I was unable to upload to support droid. He was knocked down, unsummon and resummon. I believe they fix this in 1.2. ++++ If you say so... Characters aren't in the pictures I really don't know what you're pointing out with this, what characters aren't in pictures? If you mean your characters, well, that sure looks like you are in first person view so your characters wouldn't be seen. I never play in first person view....this is what I mean. My character was excluded from the picture. But I'm done with comments here. I've replied to those that I felt deserve a reply.
  4. Why do you feel this is a joke? Here's the old snapshots from the camera tool: http://jumbofiles.com/uo2k8fzym7q3/forge.jpg.html - Forge, my jedi was getting her lightsaber but the camera only capture "this" http://jumbofiles.com/phim56na2vms/wrongmaps.jpg.html - Maps, snapshots of the wrong maps there a slow to update http://jumbofiles.com/5q3es2qftiru/fessbug.jpg.html http://jumbofiles.com/pq93myz5edhj/fessbug2.jpg.html - Companion bugs that I was unable to upload to support droid. http://jumbofiles.com/cai1zoen9ihp/countryside.jpg.html - Characters aren't in the pictures I could never control what the tooll captured. Every shot was a random picture and rarely what I wanted so I deleted it. So now I use a third party tool.
  5. The quest item will not activate until a certain point. I kept getting that message every time I attempted to used it.

This is the way it is in every MMORPG - although in the old days you didn't even get a transport. You wanted to go somewhere? Then get there under your own steam. Instant transport seems a bit, I don't know, impatient? ++++ Not "every" mmo is like this....Be careful with the word "Every" Quote: Originally Posted by Residentx_NA 2. The cutscene delays... The delay of having to watch a cut-scene or the delay on one starting up? If the former then you can press spacebar to skip through a cut-scene, although imho if you're skipping every story then you are missing the point of SWTOR and would be better off playing a game that doesn't have a story. It is the big thing that SWTOR brings to the genre. +++++ They need to load the videos from your computer not the network. Install them into the game client. It requires a bigger download but the user experience is better. Quote: Originally Posted by Residentx_NA 4. The running... ? You want a wheelchair or something? When you've increased levels a bit you can get a speeder, but from point (1) I think you just don't like travelling at all. ++++ It's not the running I hate...it's the "unnecessary" running. I finish a mission objective(s) and then I'll spend and hour running back and forth to collect the dues. Let me hologram the finish with the contact so I can move on to the next contact. Quote: Originally Posted by Residentx_NA 5. I hate how useless my powers are...I have a level 15 Sith inquisitor and these powers are just b.s. I think you probably need to learn how to play your class better, and make sure that you have definitely purchased all the powers available to you (both inquisitor and advanced class). At level 15 everything should be pretty easy for you to tackle if you're in the correct areas of the map. ++++ Your probably right here. Yesterday, since I was dying so much with Skotia. I stood in the corner and fired my powers at a distance to see the effects on Skotia. There weren't very effective and I was at level 16 which is higher than Skotia(L15). Quote: Originally Posted by Residentx_NA 6. Fix this screenshot tool so I be more productive with my limited time and QUICKLY report bugs faster. It not working for you then? You're looking in the right folder on your computer for the images I take it? ++++ The screenshot/camera tool in the beginning took poor pictures(partial of the scene) and has limited use in the game. You can't record cutscenes or use it if the game locks up. Let me see if I can find an old snapshot to post. If I do, I'll post it here. Has the tool been improved since then? I deleted the camera tool back in January. Quote: Originally Posted by Residentx_NA 7. Get rid of all of these worthless items that don't add anything to the game but just take up space and time. Pretty much standard MMORPG mechanism I'm afraid. The improvement in SWTOR is that at least you can sell all the junk without having to travel back to a vendor (by using your companion). They're a more varied way of providing you with credits. ++++ I have not explored sending the companion to do work at all. I'll add this to my list of things to do. Thanks for the reminder. Quote: Originally Posted by Residentx_NA 4. How much bandwidth does this game need to function correctly? I have not seen a single comment about this? I can't play this game on the road because it is so sensitive. In my humble opinion, this game needs between 7-10 MBPS to function properly. I'm on a 1meg line, and lucky to get consistent sustained 100kps, and can play ok. If I then combine that with trying to play wireless through that connection though I often have problems. ++++ I've measure the game at 100kps and I don't even play when I get that low. It's a waste of time!! See my post here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=254711 Quote: Originally Posted by Residentx_NA 7. Death, redo this. PLEASE REMOVE THE COUNTDOWN CLOCK!! I hate...I *********** hate seeing 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 20 minutes...reset the clock too if your disconnected or logout. Stop dying so much Seriously though, if you choose the option to spawn at med centre then the clock will be reset. If it is getting to 9 or 20 mins though you should take a step back and realise you are doing something very very wrong. Either you're trying to take on an enemy you can't defeat or you're not playing to your fullest. Along with your earlier complaint that your abilities are useless I'm wondering if you have ever visited your class trainer? But then you say you have a double-light saber so you must have done. ++++ These are good comments but it's not as simple as "just stop dying so much." These missions are being assigned to me. If their way over my head then I really should not be getting these types of missions. I can't remember if the ones I get mauled in were heroics. I had a mission on Drommond where I had to kill some animals. The animals attached in groups. My companion and myself were killed almost instantly. I tried to overcome it but the clock just ate up all of game time. I refresh my armour and visit trainers regularly to answer that question. Quote: Originally Posted by Residentx_NA 8.

Some abilities you stand still for, some you don't. Why do you think you need to run around though in the first place? It doesn't make you harder to hit. ++++ I move to stay out of the enemies sights. Quote: Originally Posted by Residentx_NA I'm so frustrated today with this game....it's like I played and accomplished nothing. Step back, breath deeply and chill It is only a game, and maybe of a genre you're not used to from some of your earlier comments. So take time out to have a read of the New Player Fleet Pass and make sure you are doing the basics right. Like wearing the right kind of equipment for your class Like having all your abilities Like using those abilities in the best way ++++ I barely have enough time as it is...I wish I could just read about everything I need to know but life just isn't like that. I'll probably cancel then read and then come back...
  7. Replies to daforceiswithme, 1.For your first issue you are trying to mod something that is not moddable. I got that before. You can only modd equipment that either has a orange broader or has augment slots. You should either see open slots or mods with an upgradeable weapon +++++ Is the doublelightsaber not moddable? This would explain why I can't mod it and why it keeps defaulting to the single bladed one. 7. You can reset respawn timer by respawning at a med center. That has to be in there or else there would be no penalty. For dying over and over. +++++ I could understand this in Pvp but in Pve, what difference does this make? Their single player missions!!!
  8. Replies to JediMasterburst, 7. Death, redo this. PLEASE REMOVE THE COUNTDOWN CLOCK!! I hate...I *********** hate seeing 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 20 minutes...reset the clock too if your disconnected or logout. You can keep the amount of time lower by repairing your armor at a vendor. ++++++ I do visit the vendor regularly but when I die and reset. I go back out of the zone and have to fight my way back in...that's another hour or so of play...it's too far away. 8. I hate that I can't use my powers on the move with my SI. I have to stand still for a second to fire off/use them. Only some attacks you can do while moving as of right now. Practice your rotation in low level PVP tend to help with this. +++++++ With Skotia, he's kills my companion quickly. I'm usually fighting Skotia on my own. I'm not asking for help here...it's just annoying that my characters can't fight even with him. All of my powers are useless against him. I considered rolling another toon after yesterday's event.
  9. I'm going to reply to some of these comments. I'm not a hardcore player. I play when I get some time which is about a few times a month. Honestly, it's not enough to learn the game indepth. I've played other MMOs which were more efficient when it comes to travel and death(do people really come online to wait?) but I keep in mind that this game is new. I'm not trying to bash it...I try to give feedback with screenshots) but the replies you send get automated responses so I get no feedback if issues are being fixed or even acknowledged. Personally, I think it's just a blackhole. This game is rich for a new game but I'm having issues that are none game related. I have a powerful computer(32GB of Ram and 4GB Nvidia Graphics) but I can only play this game on my FTTH home line(150 MBPS) where I have no problems. I can't steal an hour here or there when I travel. I'm probably going to leave soon because this game requires too muchh bandwidth to function correctly on the road and some of the design is for hardcore players. The timeout clock is just laughable I don't care what anybody says....this was designed purely to slow the player down.
  10. Almost every MMO, hunh? City of Heroes isn't like this... Star Trek Online isn't like this... DCUO isn't like this...
  11. I tried to play for 1 hour (started at 2:30pm est) or so today and it's almost 9pm est. This is a rant and bugs submittal. I submitted some of these back in December but they still haven't been fixed. First, let me rant. I'm tense after my session. I was thrilled I was going to play for a hour or so but it's just not possible with this game. Too many things to do after tasks and the maps are so huge. I resent having all of these time killers in this game too. It takes away from the play. 1.The speeder/transport nonsense...instantly send me where I'm going please. 2. The cutscene delays... 4. The running... 3. The slow loading and unloading of this game... 4. The layout of these maps...I hate having bosses that are so powerful on these maps that I have to comeback later. Please make these maps more level focused...drommund cass is so lopsided. In one quest. I'm smearing the bosses....the next quest I'm getting smeared WITH my companion. 5. I hate how useless my powers are...I have a level 15 Sith inquisitor and these powers are just b.s. 6. Fix this screenshot tool so I be more productive with my limited time and QUICKLY report bugs faster. 7. Get rid of all of these worthless items that don't add anything to the game but just take up space and time. It's just too much for me today. Questions: 1.Where do you upgrade the doublebladed lightsaber? I keep finding places to upgrade the single only. In the game I keep getting this (see weblink) whenever I try to modify my dblightsaber. Look at this, this bug has been in the game since day one... http://jumbofiles.com/7exkx6sylk2z/swtor-lightsaber.png.html 2. My companion, why isn't the stuff I'm giving to him showing up physically on his body? http://jumbofiles.com/0b2msqbv9qub/swtor-companion.png.html 3. X-fire, it's like every month I have to reprogram the snapshot key combination to make it work correctly. Why? 4. How much bandwidth does this game need to function correctly? I have not seen a single comment about this? I can't play this game on the road because it is so sensitive. In my humble opinion, this game needs between 7-10 MBPS to function properly. 5. Revan's mask. After I got the mask 3 enemies showed up and one hit me and I was sleep standing with my head down forever. I had to logout of the game to recalibrate my character. I wasn't able to screenshot that. 6. Whatever happened to the live support for this game? 7. Death, redo this. PLEASE REMOVE THE COUNTDOWN CLOCK!! I hate...I *********** hate seeing 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 20 minutes...reset the clock too if your disconnected or logout. 8. I hate that I can't use my powers on the move with my SI. I have to stand still for a second to fire off/use them. Darth Skotia is cleaning my clock because of this... I'm so frustrated today with this game....it's like I played and accomplished nothing.
  12. Your comments are valid for guilds not pugs. Pugs won't listen but I'll try it next time I play. I'll probably have boot the offender and it will probably extend my flashpoints even further with my limited time but I'll try it...
  13. Technically, we "could" need everything. Everything has some value in this game, right? If I can't use it I can trade it and this is where the logic of etiquette fails. If I don't need it I can trade it...which can further my agenda...so should I grab as much as I can and have people complain or let others have everything and I suffer in silence. Only a group of friendlies will be more considerate. In PUGs, you can't expect this. Thanks for your comments, KurganNazzir
  14. I wish it was that simple... I hope to be a member people want to play with. I posted to get insight into the "unspoken" rules of the game. I view the loot similar to you but many don't view it that way. I will apply some of the comments I've rec'ved above from everyone. It takes away from the game when people are overly focused on loot but I have to find a way to deal with this because I'm not part of guild and I play most PUG(Pickup Groups).
  15. I appreciate all of your comments. Despite what many of you feel, I posted on the boards to get "clarity" about a situation because I don't play enough to know firsthand. Like I said in the very beginning, I've done 2 flashpoints since the game launch. My game was a pickup not a guild this week. Finally, this game is great but you must have a lot of time to play. The Esseles took almost 2 hours to play and this was just too much time for weekend warrior like myself (I love high quality content but when I started this I didn't realize this flashpoint was so long). That created pressure to get to the end and the decisions about looting. About my computer I have an HP8760w with a 4GB Quadro video card and a Verizon FTTH line(home) with the max bandwidth of 150MBPS. I'm learning though that I can't play this game on the road because it requires so much bandwidth and that's where the "twinkles" come in. Lack of bandwidth affects this game greatly. I encourage the devs to play the game in low bandwith situations to see what users experience. Finally, the comments by chairforceone was very informative. I probably will not join a guild now because I can't imagine what might be programmed "behind the scenes" by the Guild masters. Where do I find out more about this? I will try to put some rough pickup looting rules together in the future to head this problem off in the future but I doubt many will follow it during the actual play. But I'll try it...
  16. When I'm playing this game during the flashpoints, I don't stop and look at my inventory to see what I need and don't need. I need xp not crap!! If I stop and take too long someone else will take it...this is just how it is...I grab it and sort it out at the end of the flashpoint. This interrupts the game play...the reason I'm here. I really wish they would just autoloot like COH and be done with this....
  17. I cannot possibly take "everything", ok?
  18. These comments are interesting. Do other players really stop and talk during the game about loot? I find the chat tool clumsy. Using it interferes with my ability to play. I'll read these comments again tomorrow. I'm sorry this is for the millionith time but the game is so poorly documented, these kinds of questions will come up regularly I'm sure. I mean I've played two flashpoints since I joined the game. This first was on the sith side and this one was on the jedi side. My progress in the game is slow I have no problems admitting that....but I won't keep doing flashpoints if all they are rantfests. Maybe I better just do the solo stuff and wait for my friends to come to the game. Also, I was mostly doing greedy during the game so I'm pleased about that but I still don't know why the complaints. Maybe I just played with some really young players who play all day. One of the players asked if I lived in China. They were so impatient. Honestly, if I had one complain about this game is I really wish they would find a way to make the environment less heavy so they load quicker. I play now during mornings EST and I wait 2 mins for the "twinkle" so I can move my player when I'm playing during the game. This is just annoying and kills me when I'm doing the flashpoints.
  19. I've played this game since day one but I play it a few time a month 1 or 2 hours a week. Once a month I play 4-5 hours to make up the deficit so I can keep my characters moving forward. I have 2 sith inquisitors and 2 jedi consulars. I was playing this week and did a flashpoint. I think it was the esseles. I rarely get to team but this time I posted for invites. This flashpoint lasted about 2 hours due to lag and other things. During the game, some of the players complained about me taking all the loot. I didn't say anything at first but then they kept on ranting and I finally replied. I swear when I played this game in the beginning the loot was personal. That means that if I killed it NO ONE could get my loot. Was it this way or was I just dreaming? Next, this I know for sure but when you get group loot you get to roll or something for it. You can select "Need" or "Greed." How does this affect the outcome? I hate to make enemies in this game but this flashpoint was horrible and I couldn't wait for it end so I could go back to the real world. I love this game and I'm selling it hard to my friends but I don't want to create enemies figting over loot all the time. If we fight over loot everyone will complain and be unhappy during the game. I have so little time to play this game. What is the proper attitude in this situation? I mean I know sure as hell they be telling me to screw off if they happened to be catching all the breaks but I didn't say that during the game. The selfishness of people never amazes me.
  20. Under her name, when you click her, it says "Champion." I wasted a lot of time trying to beat her. I wish I could somehow keep track of all of these bonus mobs. This game is so deep. Also, I noticed with the patch, there a more mobs now which makes it easier to level and brings a little more balance to the game. I laugh when people complain when about endgame content. I'll probably be playing my 2 JC and 2 SI for the rest of the year at the rate I'm going and then I'll roll new characters who'll have different storylines when I'm done with them. Then 2 JK and 2 SK, that's 2013. Then 2 smugglers and 2 bounty hunters, that's 2014. Finally, 2 troopers and 2 agents, that's 2015. Then I'll be worried about endgame content. Plus this game is like 2 months old now.
  21. Did anyone come her across during the Sith Inquisitor Mish? She's in the mish by Lord Drowl. Some of the champions I can beat with my level 13 SI, but I couldn't beat her. I even knocked her off the ledge but she killed my companion and myself with turning shots(the shots came up to the ledge and then "turned" and hit my companion and myself till we died. Also, I think I messed up the mish for numerous other. Will she respawn after a certain point? I hated leaving her but I had to keep moving forward in the game.
  22. This game is so amazing. I can't get a contact but I still get something out of the starter worlds (holocrons)...I did kill alot
  23. I have a level 13 Jedi Consular and I tried to go into Ord Mantell/Fort Garnick. The enviroment is lush but I couldn't find a contact. Did I do something wrong. I went all the way to Drelliad Village with no contact. Also, is there a limit to how many contacts you have at one time?
