Yep happens to me a lot. Blade storm ans riposte are the worst culprits (for guardians)

It's clear to me that this game was rushed to release before it was ready. The game engine is terrible. I like the game itself, I like the ideas and I think the potential is there. But is wasn't ready. The fact that a huge number of people are having horrible performance issues IS because of amatuerish coding/optimisation. I blame EA.

Nope, Warzone performance couldnt possibly be any worse than it already was.

If you're based around the London area, these guys do a pretty nice gaming rig for £750. http://www.pcwizarduk.net/pc-sales.php

Logged onto Frostclaw (EU) server last night. If there was any difference in ability delay, then it wasn't noticable. FPS in the fleet were as knackered as ever.

I like this idea. I think we should also be able to deflect force lightning as well. I suggest linking this ability to saber Ward for example. While saber ward is sctive, for those six seconds force-lighting and blaster bolts are deflected back at the caster who suffers the damage. I love this idea actually, and I don't think this will make us OP, as saber ward is effective for just six seconds, and is on a long cooldown. I love the idea of sith sorcerors getting a taste of their own medicine.

I have levelled a defense guardian up to level 33, and i have some suggestions that would help make us more.... competetive. 1, increase the duration of force stasis to 6 seconds. 2. Reduce the cooldown of our one and only CC breaker. 3. What really like to see would be an ability that allows us to defelect a certain percentage of blaster bolts & force lighting back at the caster. This is what we really need more than anything, as in PvP we are far too easy to kite.

Has there been any noticible improvement in the horrible FPS and lag in warzones?

I'd like to the the black gear that Luke Skywalker wears in return of the Jedi.

I have just remembered where I have seen this ridiculous looking armour before. Showing my age a bit here but.... http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twiki http://http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=twiki+buck+rogers&hl=en&prmd=imvnso&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=sQsQT_X7PI_x8QOEy8nQAw&ved=0CCgQsAQ&biw=874&bih=271 bidi bidi bidi.

I encountered Valis at level 27. I am a defence specced guardian. First time I dodn't know what to expect and he killed me in seconds. the second time I was careful to use interruts, which I hadn't really bothered with at all up till then. Never really needed them. So I ran up to him, saw him channeling and kicked. saw him channeling again and used statis on him. Saw him channeling again nd used force push, then folloewd up with force-leap and started hacking away at him. He died very quickly and I finished at about 80% health, and Kira on about 50%. Take away his channeled abilties and Valis is surprisingly squishy. of course I was a little over-levelled. This fight teaches players to use interrupts. It's good that some bosses are hard. To to be honest, he is nothing compared to what comes shortly after. I easily breezeed through Nar Shadda, but I am really struggling with mobs on Alderaan The hardest bosses I have encountered is the champion in the watcher One base, and the Sith on nar Shaddar close the the SIS station.

My issue is that our damage is low. Ranged classes can deal high damage at range AND in melee. We can only inflict damage in melee, and even then the damage a ranged class puts out is higher. How can this be? We have lightsabers, and troopers have the butt of a gun? How can the damage dealt by a bloody butt of a gun be equal to or higher than that of a lightsaber? Either up our damage levels a bit, Lower the cooldowns on some of our defensive abilities, or increase the duration of those abilties. Saber ward lasts a measly 6 seconds! Force stasis lasts 3 seconds! That's pitiful. The fact is, in PvE, we are the only class that struggles to get through content unless we significantly out-level the content.

That armour is straight out of a Flash Gordon MMO. It's fecking hideous!

I wouldn't recommend it. As a guardian tank, I spend so much time looking at the action bar, watching for cooldowns that I barely see the great lightsaber combat animations. This really is detracting from my enjoyment. So much so that I am thinking of re-rolling a class that actually let's me look at the action a bit more.

Bioware have ****ed up launch and ega. The damage is done now, and the silence from the devs have only made a bad situation worse. This game will be free to Play within six months. The guys at blizzard must be laughing their arses off.

So very patronising, you really need to be a bit less smug mate. I'm very pleased you're having a ball. Thousands of other players are not. Try understanding this instead of just sneering at everyone who disagrees with you. Nobody should be obliged to this all their work away and roll again on another server that's likely to become just as bad as the others.

TomWhiting shills for Bioware, and I claim my five pounds. Now quit your tedious trolling.

This!!!!

Actually fanboy. As a client of Bioware he is entitled to play where he wants. Most likely where THEY placed his guild. No-one should be forced to lose all their hours of grinding just to swith to a server where the queues are only 1 hour instead of 3 hours.

What makes you think they will be better equipped tomorrow? It's just wishful thinking.

Word is out. This is making Bioware look very bad indeed. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/330127/star-wars-old-republic-users-report-2-hour-game-queues/ http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-12-19-bioware-takes-star-wars-the-old-republic-queues-seriously http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/12/19/bioware-taking-swtor-queues-seriously/# http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/post/4628430/Unrealistic-Server-Queue-Times.html#4628430 http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/951199-star-wars-the-old-republic/61361031

I don't hate him. I feel his frustration. You however....

Spam Gamespot, IGN, Gamespy and all the others with negative reviews. Don't forget to mention the horrific queing times. Let's see how Bioware like that. Great great game, shame a huge number of us can't actually play it.

Waiting in traffic is a part of life for everyone who drives, and nothing we can do anything about. Waiting for upwards of five hours to play a computer game is unheard of, and unacceptanble. What is worse is still no word from anyone at Bioware. Where are they?

As already mentioned, actual queue times are at least twice as long as stated on the server selection screen. Is this misinformation deliberate I wonder?
