  1. It'd be great if it was an option. This is a forced "improvement" of performance at the cost of quality. Firstly, if they wanted to make these types of changes there are much better ways to implement them so they aren't so jarring. Secondly, I'm sure most of the people asking for improved performance were expecting actual optimizations, not just making things look worse.

     

    People have been able to run the game successfully since launch, before all of these "optimizations" that came with patch 3.3.2, so they clearly weren't a necessity. So then why force this on those people who had no issues? The game doesn't feel like it's running any better than it ever did. The only improvement I noticed was in load times, but from my understanding that has more to do with how they restructured the files than any of the LOD changes.

     

    Exactly.

     

    Once in the past (years ago) it was an option. No clue why they ever got rid of it because it was a wild increase in performance.

     

    After that, it was only adjustable through the settings file with FarClipScale,

     

    Ofcourse BioWare also took that option from us, for no reason what so ever.

     

    So yeah.....

    Perhaps a bit of a necro, but since LOD bias can only be adjusted in swtor with drivers 309.xx and around there, this might be relevant.

     

    Going to try it out :)

     

    Edit: This trick works again for TOR, so apparently its a driver-only issue as most games seem affected. Yay!

    Yet again LOD bias adjustment with newest Nvidia drivers :)

  3. Why, oh why, have you still not released stronghold training dummies? This is a HUGE oversight. If they work on ships, they'll work on guild capital ships. You're adding a whole list of pvp decorations with 3.2 ... I'm incredibly underwhelmed, as training dummies are once again conspicuously absent. Very tired of waiting, BW.

     

    Damn yeah, that would be awesome tbh...

     

    Good question, why!

     

    Perhaps because Legacy perk for training dummies on ship == good money maker for bioware? :p

    In case its bought with CC's ofcourse.

  4. Empire is cooler in terms of clothing, animations etc.

     

    At least in my opinion.

     

    Sentinel gets stupid hammer slash animation on one of the specs, marauder steals the 'good' animation from sent.

     

    Sorc animation = better than Sage. Sage force quake is, like a friend of mine once mentioned, looks like you're sh*tting in your pants and nothing much but some stupid rocks fly upwards.

     

    Imp fleet looks way better than pub side.

     

     

     

    Other than that, I like coruscant as one of the best worlds to play on. I guess its all personal preference.

  5. over nerfed? lol it still feels better than any other AoE imho.

     

    so... same situation, just halved casting time. just keep spamming it then.

     

    I think most ppl complaining here are pro-sorc/sage which ofcourse is more than fine.

     

    I havent made up my mind about this class yet, so perhaps i am a little bit less biased.

     

    So far i have done only kdy with all classes numberous times, and even after the sorc/sage nerf it still performs best in termw of AoE and taking down groups. Even with bosses i hold aggro cuz of the single target dps.

  6. Since the very beginning of playing TOR i have been surprised this game has no decent Social system. Why do we not have everything bound to account? It would be 10 times easier if everyone simply had a @handle (Account name) so everything is bound to that.

     

    At least you recognize players better this way as well, and its way easier to ignore/befriend people account wide.

  7. Simple request. the first 64bit consumer cpus were released 15 years ago

    XP (and thus dx9) have both been deprecated for a decade,

     

    seriously bioware get your game together.

     

    Look at my hardwar specs, my hw is under utilized atm.

  8. Chiss social ability bugged: No longer can i see the bezel, just a floating screen.

    Now normally this wouldnt be such a big deal, but I suspect there is more going on behind the scenes.

    I wouldnt be surprised if it also happened to other graphics/animations.

     

    Seems to have been introduced recently. Ive already tried different drivers (2 year old ones) and removed all my SWTOR settings. No dice.

  9. Since people love to beat a dead horse I'll just copy/paste the same thing I replied in that thread:

     

    If you collect them as you're leveling they make a difference since you get experience as well. If you wait until you're at max level and then go back they don't mean as much and you also don't get experience. It's also easier on you to get them as you go instead of trying to go back for them afterward.

     

    They are meant to be collected during your adventures, not after.

     

    And.. who decides that? The time investment to get most of them while leveling doesnt even justify the amount of XP they give. So moot point.

     

    Sounds to me you simply want them to be useless since you do not want to spend your precious time trying to get them. Guess what? With a bit of practice you can the relevant datacrons for your class in a day or so. (since you only need either cunning+aim or willpower+strength next to endurance/presence and the matrix shards are pretty much useless.

  10. I made a suggestion about datacrons a few days back too. With the constant gear upgrades with each new expansion they become more obsolete. Its really a shame cuz people that spent all their time on getting them for the small stat boost are screwed.

     

    I know, some people just want to collect all the codex lore and datacrons for fun, i liked them for their stats. but at this point they might just as well remove those stats cuz at max level 60 end game they are 0.1% effective.

     

     

    Legacy the datacrons and make them scaled so they dont get more and more useless each time gear rating goes up.

     

    that also goes for the shards, from what ive seen there are way better relics now, which is also a shame.

    Might as well remove the whole 'put your own datacron together' mechanic.

     

    Im surprised the initial post by the OP didnt include boosting or 'bolstering' them.

  12. The hard work it takes to get all the datacrons, and every new expansion gear gets better (Stats go up) the datacrons seems to get relatively weaker and weaker.

     

    Perhaps an idea to make them scaleable instead? At least they retain their same effect?

     

    Just think about it. in 5 years we have 10,000 stats and those datacrons are like 0.1% effective.

  13. Hi all.

     

    I wonder about some of the legacy perks like Light side/dark side points, once ive reached maximum on dark or light, unlocking the perk, and afterwards lose some dark/light side points, does the legacy thing revert to the locked state?

     

    What about the +100 presence boost for 1st human at 50, do i lose this again if my only human gets converted to another race?

     

    And what of the companion that ive unlocked, do i lose them too when my companion affection drops to a certain threshold?

     

     

    So actually a simple question, oncelegacy perks like these are unlocked, are they unlocked forever despite what happens afterwards? Cant seem to find anything about this..
