If we're still defending this game then yes, I can see parallels , cant you?

If you dont get it then you wont.

Several others complaining all over the place on the server, with 130 on republic fleet. Also dealing with chat lag. Don't know what the issue is but it's rather annoying.

I'm quite positive, I spent a good while testing it out under many different circumstances and yes it says it's a melee attack.

well that makes complete sense......I hope the oversight will be corrected soon because I feel like I'm being jipped.

It's a melee attack, can't be used at range. Doesn't make any sense. If this is working as intended I'd like a dev to tell me why. If it isn't then I'd hope they put in a change asap. I use Riposte as a focus dump when I have the resources and it would be amazing if it applied overload. Anyone have any idea? (also, please do not move this, I posted in the class forum and it's been unanswered for hours)

Someone was complaining about the titles from the pts and said "since it's being taken down this tuesday how are we supposed to get these titles" And several people in chat in game, but they were probably trolling. I just wanted to confirm they were wrong, seems way too early for them to take it down. Thanks for the responses.

Is this true? Only 2 weeks of testing for this and 2 days of Ranked tests? If that's the case I'm sure ranked won't be coming out soon : ( I hope I'm wrong.

Well I rerolled on Fatman so I'm used to 250+ on fleet in one instance and it didn't feel any worse than that.....same old same old, when you get near a group of people you get a spike, but thats to be expected here. Also, thanks for clearing up the Mega server/server cap issue for me, I didn't know if they changed it with the xfers or not. Just seemed like 3 full instances wasn't in their capabilities before but I guess accommodating 750 isn't that hard. Thanks!

Blown away by that.....I went to each instance as soon as I could and counted 600 people at 7pm. I can't believe a server having that much fleet.....even fatman just does half that. I guess they are moving towards the "Mega Servers" like they hinted at......or maybe I'm assuming too much. Regardless, it's a step in the right direction. Now if Ranked can get sorted for 1.3 I think the game will be alright for the most part.

Can't say that I had that but just wanted to say that "The Bastion" has an amazing population now! Im from crucible and I went over there. at 7pm server tonight there was 3 instances of the fleet with at filled 1 and 2 and 100 in third. Insane. Good luck with your issue. ~Cathexis/Memetic

This may (or may not) sound ignorant but I think they're wingin' it. I don't think they can provide us with some kind of roadmap because it doesn't exist.....seems like when one patch is done they go "okay what next"...... It would explain the lack of information, the buggy content, and my favorite, "fixing" an issue and proudly proclaiming it then finding out through the forums that it's not really fixed at all. I know......maybe ignorant, I mean what company could behave like that and retain at least half of their employees, oh, wait.....

I'm pretty sure you're just bad....... And on top of that, after playing (and even losing) those 20 or so games you should have a couple of pieces of BM. When I was in full recruit on my reroll, I won more than I lost and it only took me 3 days to get full BM. Guard nodes and call out more effectively, spec yourself utility instead of focusing on kills and such....there are a ton of ways to become more effective at that level. ~Cathexis

I like how you accurately put that period in there towards the end.

I always wondered why I can interrupt your main ability but I can't interrupt a sniper's "Snipe".....seems a bit unfair.

That definitely helped explain everything. I've sent out for a refund and I'll be trying it again when I get my new 8gig pack. Thanks again!

I was able to sort it out..I rolled back the ATI drivers and that fixed the issue....I have no idea why the newest drivers did that, I had them before the reformat and everything was fine. Oh well. Game is running fine now. Thanks for the help guys.

And yes, I'm on Windows 7 64bit. I heard about running it in XP compatibility, I'll do that next, thanks for the suggestion, I'll report back.

So I reformatted my computer yesterday after I found I had some bad RAM and wasn't able to play the game. I skipped over the Acer backup and went straight for my home premium 64bit disc and everything went great. I have a perfect install, swtor installed beautifully but now I have an issue I haven't seen before. I've been running this game on this integrated graphics laptop since beta and it's always done well enough...here's the specs: Acer 7551 AMD Phenom II N970 Quad-Core 2.2ghz 4gb 10700 Ram 64bit Radeon Mobile HD 4200 (driver version: 8.961.0.0) In game settings are set to: 1280x720 Windowed (fullscreen) No Bloom No depth of field Everything turned to low/very low, no AA. Since I'm in Windowed Fullscreen Vsync is greyed out. The game runs great, even better than my last install but I'm getting these crazy texture issues where pieces of walls are missing, some extend out to the end of the map, some flash, even my boot textures make it look like I have no legs. I've never had any type of graphical issues before and this is even the same driver I was using before. I've looked for previous versions of the driver and I can't find it anywhere.... I'm at a loss. ~Cathexis

Well, tbh I enjoyed it, I was able to breeze through it because I understand my class so well (I rerolled same class because I've loved Sent/Mara since beta).....so what I did was just do the class quest and any other quest that was DIRECTLY in my way. I spacebarred through most of it (except key class quest moments that I wanted to see), I did my spacemissions every day, and I pvp'd quite a bit (which is really good fun and really good xp, especially when you know you're class well lol). I just was lucky enough to see my server falling off before it actually did, when I left Crucible there was average 75 on fleet at peak which wasn't bad and 2 weeks later it dropped to 15, now it's at 5 (last friday at 7pm server). I saw it coming and I said "hell no, I enjoy this game too much". So I bit the bullet and did it. I pushed through and did it, once I hit 40 I pvpd my *** off and got 3500 ranked comms saved up (gotta be valor rank 40 too) so when I hit 50 I had max wz and ranked and got a ton of great gear (my implants and earpiece plus bm main-hand) and the rest took 3 days. I have 13 days /played and I have 6 pieces of war hero, I'm in a great pvp guild where all we do is run promades and that's about it. You just gotta say "screw it, I enjoy this too much for them to ruin my experience". Come to Fatman, I'll sort ya out. (they'll hate me for saying that lol) ~Cathexis

Gonna Hijack the thread a little bit lol I've been looking for a way to set the priority higher for SWTOR THANK YOU SO MUCH! My concern though is system load for the program....i'm assuming it's small. Have you had any trouble with it too? Whenever I try to set priority for the game most of the time it won't let me until much later in the game.....so strange. I'm gonna try it though. Also the D3D, I can't find the download anywhere.....but I am concerned because I don't use triple buffering and Vsync is turned off because I use windowed mode. I'm looking for better performance, I can do with a little vertical tearing here and there. Don't laugh because the game works fine, I'm just trying to get more out of what I got........I'm running the game on an integrated graphics AMD quadcore 2.2 with 4gigs of ram (Radeon HD 4200). I get about 20-25fps in wzs and it's enough but I wanna try anything to push that up. Do you think (with my setup and the way I run the game) that this D3D overrider would be necessary or even helpful? Thanks again! ~Cathexis

Something you should do is install DirectX 9. The game was built using this and DirectX 10+11 do not have some of the elements that the game requires. When you install it, it does not overtake DirectX 11 it simply supplements what is missing that the game (sort of) requires. When I did this it helped me out a lot. Here is the thread with the full explanation and the download link. It's really simple, just download, create a folder in C:\ with whatever name, expand the files through the installer and then just run DXSetup.exe. That's all you have to do. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=259967 And yes, Game Booster does (for some odd reason) cause the game to lag up. I use Tuneup Utilities to set my computer to cut services/processes that you don't need. In extreme cases there is always the Ramdisk option which a very nice person has developed a program that does all the work for you called "SWTOR: Unleashed". I've used it and it take minimal knowledge to operate. You just have to be careful with unmounting the drive and closing the game properly, this thread explains everything you need to know and the author of the program personally answers questions. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=394951 Another thing (which is more basic) is just make sure you're running your computer for best performance, taking away Aero and the other graphical intense features (right click "My Computer" go to "Properties" then "Advanced System Settings" then "Settings" under performance" then set to "Adjust for Best performance". There are tons of other little tweaks you can make to your operating system in order for the game to run smoother and there are plenty of threads and other bits on the internet. Good luck! ~Cathexis

Yeah, this money sink hit me hard....I'm really particular about the way my character looks so I'm always tweeking it with new armor and what not, plus upgrading to war hero and augmented gear.....I've spent more in mod swapping than anything else in this game, no exaggeration. I'm just glad they're gonna lower it a little bit for 1.3 but I don't think it'll be lowered enough. I'm finally in a nice armor set that I'm going to keep that's all augmented, I'll just add augs to implants/earpiece/bracers/belt/relics when 1.3 comes out.....but that's gonna be another huge sink lol ~Cathexis

My prediction is that Fatman/Swiftsure will remain top after xfers/mergers and there will be 2 others that are close in population. People know it's the high pop destination, it won't change with xfers/mergers, if anything, the rerolls will bring over their mains if they have the chance (which I doubt lol). In a couple months there will be 4 US servers, 2 with High pop and 2 with medium/standard......2 PvP, 2 PvE. That's all the players they have left that play regularly. ~Cathexis
