  1. Increasing the amount of assets would only affect loading times, it shouldn't affect actual performance. Plus it's worth noting that most of the models that have been going into the game post 2.0 are of lower quality than the launch models.

     

    For instance if you look at gear. Most of the vanilla armor (especially for troopers/BH) had stuff like environment mapping, and more extensive use of bump/normal mapping. In addition to more detailed texturing and use of weathering. (although the texturing details don't do much to performance.)

    Nowadays though, you're lucky to find a gear piece that has a environment mapped visor let alone the rest of the piece.

     

    Well to a degree you're right. But it's not like every model is loaded at all times. Fly around fleet and you'll be loading and unloading character models and textures. It's not like that is all just loaded into video memory at all times.

  2. Lots of misinformation in this thread. It absolutely is more hardware intensive. As they add more and more to the game, you will be loading more and more textures and models. Back when it first launched more people were in similar gear. Now everyone is in unique gear, on a unique mount. They have added more shaders for later planets(compare Rishi to Alderaan, there's a big difference). I'm sure there's more to it, but those are two of the biggest issues.
  3. 3.3 is out and they seem to only be talking about KotFE. I thought there would be another update between 3.3 and KotFE, but there has been no news, no roadmap, nothing. Is this because KotFE is the next update? Or are they just going back to poor communication?
  4. "I've got an idea to make a LOT of money. Re-do all the mounts in the game, and the entire mount system, and add mounted combat. You're welcome for giving you this idea, as you never would have thought about it yourself, and I will accept payment in the form of unlimited Cartel Coins. Thank you, and you're welcome."
  5. We recently got being able to move while mounting. Can we get something that allows us to change mounts, instead of the "You are already mounted" error message?

     

    Sometimes I bring up my (wayyyy too long list) and hope to change mounts, but first I have to demount. Lame! Allow us to change mounts while mounted.

  6. Wow, I've never seen someone that impassioned to write so much about 1 typo. That little speech doesn't work when we're all subscribers paying for the game. You also contradicted yourself heavily as Gree and Rhakgoul both got new items and Summer event didn't.

     

    People shouldn't just be happy we're getting the summer event at all. This isn't charity they're doing for us, we pay them.

  7. I missed out on the Rancor last year. No matter how much I spent I couldn't seem to get it. This year I got it in my first stack.

     

    But as others have said, with nothing new, now I'm done with the nightlife event. Hopefully they still do the pvp and gsf boost.

  8. We've had some time to play through Ziost. It was really good. But the only thing we know about the game in the coming months is Torgruta, Yavin Stronghold, and the words "Fallen Empire." Are we due for another roadmap?
  9. Hello,

    I just opened a hypercrate. My inventory was empty when I started. I had two things at the end that were curious. Emote: Sinister, and Companion Customization Xalek 3. It seems like Emote: Sinister should be Emote: Worthy and the customization should be for M1-4X.

     

    Thank you.

     

    EDIT: Maybe not, I may have mixed myself up.

  10. Dude I'm with you that these changes suck. But I don't think you're op'ing right. You have a gun but you're not really a ranged class. You're a stealth melee. In more than one sense.

     

    Yeah I know that's what they want, but then we need more than 2 skills for melee. Not like I can sit there and shiv over and over again. I'm with you too though.
