Same... that and the fact BW refuses to acknowledge there's an issue dealing with how assets are being handled with the HEROengine. Feb 24th Q/A: TheJestersHat: What is BioWare planning to do about performance issues that people get with Warzone, open world PVP, and general FPS issues? Damion Schubert: We have an internal strike team that is fully devoted to ensuring that the game runs better and faster, especially on low end machines, and we consider this team's work to be a crucial internal initiative. You should see evidence of this work as soon as Patch 1.1.5, when we will be introducing a new 'very low' setting to shader quality, which should drastically increase the number of mid-to-low machines the game can run well on, especially in Warzones and Operations. Since the FPS issues are related to assets handling, etc. His response was an utter joke. Mid to low end? X 4, X 6, and X 8 are all being affected. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z77Za6DpIdg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sPRj5Lc5pg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuR8kwu5JSs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PacCIVVoXhI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEuFZbdJsKk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOp43rboNN0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2C_FOIT2y0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85nPM7PAbN8&feature=youtu.be _______________________ Here's my prediction - as soon as D3 hits - this game is over. No one will be waiting around because of SWTOR's "potential." D3 will be merely the first domino. D3 - Easter... June latest. GW2 will possibly be released around July. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CexVARrkfk Mists of Pandaria will go into beta testing around June with a Fall 2012 release.

I'm not sure what's mentioned that's new? http://www.rpgreporter.com/2012/01/23/blizzards-next-gen-mmo-ad-supported-with-f2p-model/

I agree with certain points. SWTOR is only innovative in terms of being fully voiced over. Nothing design wise is innovative. The graphics and engine look dated compared to MMOs that cost 1/4 of BW's budget.... 1. SWTOR (HEROengine) http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/6966/worldfps3.jpg 2. DCUO (Unreal Engine) http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/3892/dcuoworld1.jpg

I would support the game if BW simply fixed the FPS issues in WZs and Ilum. But, the silence is deafening... I'm hoping BW responds in tomorrow's blog.

I blame it on intergalactic overeating.

I heard if you click your heels together 3x and say "I WILL get better FPS"... you get better FPS.

LOL, I used to do the cracker challenge with friends.

A secretary walks into a store and needs a solid word processor. She has the choice between.... A) Microsoft Office B) A new word processor that looks and performs like... WordPerfect 5.1. A fanbois for the new word processor stops her and says... "You should buy B because it has potential." The secretary replies, "Why should I wait for performance and reliability when I can just buy A?"

LOL, touche. Agreed.

Ditto.

Calm down Lucis... sounds like you're mad. If you cared about the product you would see the lack of optimization of the engine which I demonstrated in the post that you said you wouldn't read.

And I said neither of us have SSs from 2004... so you can talk until you're blue in the face. *Shrug*
