MMO's don't depend much on GPU's , the latency mostly comes from how far you are from the server (ping) But the game don't use more than 3.75 GB physical memory and that's is another problem. As for the lag ..heavy code when many cast abilities the game lag a lot (warzones flashpoints) and rare lagging on fleet for example since everyone just stay . The game run smooth even in old 5 years graphic cards anyway (I have a 5770 ) but I saw more improvement when changed my CPU (jumped from QQ6600 to FX-6300). Lag is many things , like evo said .In another ring played the game , run so bad (and had better spec) but the choice of memory was bad. 1333 with 11 CL .The game looks 'broken'

Do you know how many times we have endure nerf boy? Or you come here to troll? Why always some cry-babies say 'nerf' because they can't kill even a sticky jawa? all classes have nerfed to the ground many times in the past except sages/sorc's! coincidence? I don't think so

Pugs would not whining if the game had good matchmaking system. Plus , most of premades using voice chat, something pugs don't have. Teamwork and communication is a must on PVP especially on ranked arenas. Good solution is like another said here is bioware to add a in-game voice chat. At least for the groups who have formed ,like any other serious mmo game ,so with communication , pugs and bads will begin increasing their skills on PVP so things will be better for all. And I think is far more easier to add group-voice chat on the game than programing again the matchmaking system. Is a good solution at the moment . Completely F2p games (like neverwinter for example) have group voice chat inside arenas. A very cheap game have this , than here I pug a lot also , and really enjoying when I face premades and fool them .But depends on many things (gear , luck, using your brain , etc). When 1 none stealth attacked by 2-3 stealth classes for example, have no the time to call fast and when do it already have lost most of the times half the HP. You from the other hand when u attacked u call throw ur guild voice chat program ''2-3 here' or whatever. Many PVPer's think are good especially in 'good' pvp guilds, but when they pug , they su** so much. And many are afraid queing alone. You know why? because they don't know how to pvp out there with random groups .Or they chose to leave the match before start when they see 1-2 or more with low gear. For me they are worse than bads .They are NOTHING.

Twente get banned maybe since haven't see him more than 2 days anyway. But if I am not mistaken this is the third time ! If they have bann him for few days will be back again ..except for my opinion, anyone who use such hacks or whatever , must be banned forever. I know is annoying ( I meet this guy in 3 wz's anway but in only 1 wins on hypergate because of his fast speed cap both pylons in less than 20 seconds

The game is dying not because not enough arenas but for reduce the numbers on ranked PVP. If you believe it or not ,4v4 isn't worth at all to play .many reasons ..tired to found people with green gear inside , boring to wait more than 30 min in best way to que ( on republic side). For me ,ranked PVP died more than a year ago after 8v8 removal. At least there you had fun , longer battles and better teamwork . 4v4 bring even death to entire guilds ..so better the 8v8 return with cross server que's is the better solution atm

Agree for open world pvp but not for loot . What's the point ? If you want to pvp do it for fun , not loot the others .Why so greedy? Besides , some games had loot system you said here (like darkfall for example) already wiped out . Do you think anyone would come here to play 3-4 hours per day to have the stress maybe lose a gear? not a chance . Or you don't know how much time need to take 1 piece especially when you pvp with 3-4 toons ? Why someone steal it? for credits ? Except if you want the game die within a month looting on open world pvp doesn't encourage players to play but avoid it .What you say make no sense at all .

You aren't serious i am afraid :eek:

I dunno about POT5 , but on basilisk almost all pvpers playing on Ilum until bioware remove it .And wasn't because people go bored ,but they remove it because terrible lag after when people pvp in massive numbers. And the truth is a large amount of pvp community left the game because remove the missions from there.You know most of this people go ? Guild wars 2.I have play the game ..and I don't thing anyone going bored doing OW pvp with far more large numbers than was here anyway. As I said and many founders players know it ..the code of the game isn't for mass pvp ,not the players fault.

Hello after a very long time! Well ..i was away 7 months from the game just returned and I see a new expansion coming up .So ..just a thought: How about with new expansion is time for bioware to make some new pvp map , similar to Ilum , but smaller one with objectives (like civil war or even coast). Since the code of the game is heavy for open world PVP (Ilum experience this before 1.2 update) I think is a good chance to make a 20 v 20 or 32 v 32 ..or something like that . I think the game wouldn't have problem with this.A larger map for example like a war zone but using speeders as well.. .I write this one because I return from a game I enjoy large PVP battles I missed here ....Open world pvp is far more fun and enjoyable than doing all time only wz's or arenas. Just a thought who hoping will add some more pvp fun in TOR:cool:

Well because of them now they leave the experienced players who have tired of QQ nerfs

My sub ends today i move to neverwinter until the repopulation launched. Ya ..neverwinter ...a complete free game but ..with 20v20 pvp and plus now the new Icewind Dale expansion launch, they will add factions also ..Luscan and Ten towns. As beta didn't bother so much but now after near a year they have add so many things ... At least forgotten realms and star wars worlds is the only I have stuck so much, more than 23 years

Leaving people before the warzone even start most of the times, is because of people who are in the group many don't have even conq gear. Do you know how many times wz battle fall because of them? Why anyone who are full geared have to suffer with f2p people who come with green suits in wz's? Last night I had a 55 group in NC with 6 people max 25k hp. Tell me a reason to stay since I was the only one who was full geared. And most important in a ranked arena most of the times comes ppl who din't care for win or lose just to grid their tokens. If bioware care about PVP ,then they had do something so geared ppl and no gear ppl can pvp in diffrent battles until they reach some good valor for example or something like points (tell me valor) when they buy their gear so to increase something like 'rank' or whatever.People who are founders here have suffer a lot from newbies who never check some guide to know what to do ,at least the basics, or never listen some advice. Even worse is ppl who already come a long way and they didn't care even for objectives to win the mach ,they just want to kill others. Many reasons for someone to leave a wz but this is the most common. Penalty must not have actually only who leave ,but for people who come with PVE gear inside a ranked arena's also. Anyone below 1800- 1900 expertise must not allowed to be in the ranked until increase the expertise.

Funny guild names: 'Dude Where Is My Speeder' 'Your Companion'

This isn't good at all. I am not playing in your server , but I understand well what means server begin to 'fade out'. Imagine when ESO, Wildstar, Everquest Next, The repopulation launch in the next 4 months what will happen !!! The problem is growing in your server ,but I see it begins in others servers also. Except some PVE servers (they have a lot of ppl so they can be 'alive' much longer). TOFN begins to fade out as well. This happens in pvp servers cause ppl who pvp only they have go bored with only wz's and arenas.Open pvp battles always keep players to have some intrest (is diffrent to pvp with 4 or 8 than full raid group). Other reason was the ranked warzones removal and replaced with arenas.This was reason my entire guild left the game from August within a night ! And not only mine but many guilds out there.With some ppl i have keep friendship some return to WOW and RIFT back, others move to GW2 (and they enjoy cross pvp server there a lot! ) , others wait ESO and wildstar. After 6 months no one of them even think to return here My sub will finish in few days and i don't plan to resub .Reason? The 2.7 update cross the line for me. One more update who modified from crybabies on forums .Plus I play alone 4 months now (max 4-5 hours per day) all my friends left, I have list of 48 ppl in my friend list and all is offline a long time now.So there no reason for me to continue here either. Where is the cross server pvp to save the situation? Only 1 new warzone per year isn't a solution. Why they replace the ranked wz's with arenas? Nerfing professions they thing will balance the classes so people will be finally happy? Or this changes will return boomerang and a 'tombstone' in all pvp servers fall in to place?? I see a 'parallel' feature with Warhammer online...........

After 2.5 years , the devs make scoundrel/operatives complete useless. Why don't just delete this class bioware? I really tired of that ..2.7 will be critical to many players.And reason? because some bad's who can't do dps even in dummy ,or bad sages who don't even armor themselves, complain 'we take a lot of damage from smasher's and stealths' and the same ppl come in wz's or even ranked arenas with pve gear! Crybabies you listen ,then crybabies you will get. Do you have memory to all of you dev's what mass exodus bring the 1.2 update? Or you all already forget that? We are very few old players who still playing from early access here. And you know why? Because a large number of them left when open world pvp and ranked warzones removed! Entire guilds. Guilds who recruit people who care for serious pvp and YOU dev's betray them!And most of this people had pre-order the game! And not free but with a LOT of money than this game deserves! Let me remind you YOUR prices collector's edition---> 120e+ DDE----> 76e Standard edition----> 54e Do you think after all you have done to pvp part of the game many of us we will continue to sub? I don't think so........

Really tired of pvp gear grid, clothing up my main and my alts. That's enough. After 2.7 ...bye bye:cool:

I really enjoy the last night:D Bioware devs they was very wrong to remove open world pvp missions. It reminds me how the game was when it launch and how have become now. Who cares for arenas? Very few anyway ..most of them are kids who play 10+ hours per day to see their toons in the top list. And they think doing that they are good pvpers ...meh! I have write here so many times ..open pvp is MISSING in this game from April 2012.If bioware can't do something to the game code (so many to have better fps) at least they can update to a good large map without many objectives.Every problem have a solution. Now after long time ,many have characters in both factions so the owPVP can be balanced at anytime. Any game without open battles fade out soon. Isn't late to do something about it bioware ..is up to you!

Actually depends what class you have chose. If you are a slinger ,before Hoth you must have a tank as companion to take argo (corso or the wookie). After Hoth you take your last companion (healer). Now if you are scoundrel again depends. If you chose healer ,any tank will be good .Or Risha. If you are dps , same as slinger

I din't say balance is bad in swtor. There 's no balanced MMO anyway.But crying for nerfs like many here in forums isn't a solution either. As for wildstar I will not go ,to much cartoon game. ESO neither ,since it use the TOR code.I will test it and I see. The only game comes in my mind , is 'The repopulation.' The only game so far look really promising. Maybe will launch May or June. Everquest next is another solution plus WOD and star citizen comes next year. As if there exist good other sci-fi games ..only one I will tell you is on top on list ,free, a lot of fun and open pvp without limits: Planetside 2 . But I never like first person games anyway. If had third person option ....

No doubt, you absolutely right. If bioware want to reduce the servers to only one in every region I am sure the 2.7 will do this. Do more nerfs if you must bioware , at least there plenty pvp games coming in next 3-4 months out there will give me the fun I want to pass my time . And the same n00bies who cry for nerfs cause they cant kill even a rottworm in pvp ,in few months from now will blame the devs why the game fade out. World is full of tards...

A good option is the system exist on Conan . Anyone high lvl if gang lowbies ,after 1-2 kills (without the lowbie attack) get a debuff of 'murderer' or something like that and instantly exist as a pvp quest on the terminal. So if anyone want to have fun in ganging can spoiled when someone or even a group hunt him/her to get tokens. This is a smart option Conan have ..you gang? You must have the guts to fight the hunters they search for you also:D

This code the game use make many people in Ilum not only to pvp with 1-2 fp but some had even blue screens cause before 1.2 update there was issues with RAM. usage. And in many posts I have write about open pvp is missing in this game.And is truth. That's the reason I am waiting for 'The Repopulation

2.5 years always in the forums, bad tards cry for op's and scoundrels. Because of them many pvper's left the game..Still they haven't stop their QQ. And I am sure now they will QQ more . Why then bother with pvp? Go play esseles with super -boss : A Sticky Jawa ,try it to kill it for an hour and leave us alone....

Sweet dreams:tran_tongue:

Ranked is so boring. 4v4 fast wz and done. I don't found something enjoyable in arenas even as normal.Many just they use it to take fast ranked tokens.What is the fun with 4 ppl? And normals already become boring also. After 4 toons full obroan gear and still there no point.Plus my gaming hours isn't much so there no reason to bother even for some leaderboard. Ofc some like them some not. Others like open pvp like before 1.2 update and is missing so much. This game din't give many pvp options and that's the reason a large amount of pvpers left. And if you compare it with other MMo's coming soon (Wildstar,Star citizen, Everquest next, The repopulation) then in 3-4 months will be very rare to find some veteran pvper playing still the game. In warzones will be mostly new players and more f2p. After 2 years many want something new also. I don't know about pve and I don't care, but in pvp is messed. Nerfs only nothing else and every 3- 4 months change of gear so trying to keep pvpers at bay.
