I just mean the "pre 4.0" story/game progress, more or less... My class quest is now on ye olde Taris. However, fleet wants me to start the Ilum story, skipping some of Flashpoint plots. But wait, a droid wants me to start Revan arc. Plus, I'm also eligible for Macrobinocular missions. Yes, there are a zillion of daily/weekly stuff popping up everywhere, where I get bolstered up... And if I do just one of these, even whilst level sync'd, I'll simply be directed strraight to KotFE, which I'll have to postpone to do old questlines. I just don't get where is this abundance of XP coming from, so I get overleveled anyway, but I have to play synced down, and storywise I'm almost propulsed straight into KotFE... If you're 65, playing level synced nets you, well, nothing. If you aren't, you will overlevel the content, but still be synced down conundrum.

To everyone saying "level sync fixes xp/overleveling!" - let me reiterate: I started Alderaan at level 40 and did every mission WHILE being scaled down and finished at level 49. I am a sub, I have only two legacy XP boosts. NOTHING else - no WZ, no FP, no Repeatables, and no Bonus series. 10 LEVELS WHILE BEING SCALED DOWN!? I've no problems with XP and levels per se - I do because I get 5 story Arcs, including expansion arcs, thrown at my face.

So it's basically "We don't want to remove a bunch of content, but you should skip it."

Bump for any other information! I really shouldn't have gotten 10 levels on one planet. I'm objecting because I like to play the game "one story arc at a time"...

Same. Did all Chapter IX quests. Then Findsman. And then literally nothing to go on. Nothing points to the Cantina... http://imgur.com/4fbb0A7 proof

Yes, but I am getting as little experience as possible while level shifted. Plus, before you wouldn't get ~10 levels just by doing Alderaan... I'm now 52 after doing some FPs and Space combat, and Shadow of Revan droid wants me to start the Arc, Battle of Ilum arc wants me to go to Ilum, and my class story wants me on Taris, seriously, what the heck?

I can't find the Red Reaper droid on Imperial Fleet. Did they remove some flashpoint courier droids? I can't find any mention in patch logs...

Where is it and at what level does it pop-up? According to this guide: It should be M9-08 (Imp, Galactic Trade Market) but he isn't there... This thread: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=8636426 States that some droids were removed in KotFE, but I can't find anything in patch notes?

Hi, returning player here. I started with my old character lvl 40 on beginning of Alderaan. I finished Alderaan as lvl 49. I didn't play any FP, WZ, GSF, Space Combat nor dailies. I did play ALL the missions on Alderaan EXCEPT bonus series. So basically I am getting Story quests left and right, but I am actually now on Taris planet-wise. Seriously, I have a quest giver for Revan Arc... Am I missing something (or getting much of) ?

My reasoning too. Srsly, the main input for this game is iffy. Years after launch...

Will do (or try).

You both make an excellent case, I wasn't used to watching the exact HP numbers. Dunno, I'd have to play again with UI again, currently neither CD nor %HP catch/poke my eye; I do see the CD on Assassinate, the same way I see %HP - if I glance at them when I'm expecting them - which takes my sight off what's actually happening. I tried various UI setups but meh, nothing beats the visibility like those FAT HP bars in Ops Frames do . ...on the other hand, having a nifty animation like Discharge's one or simply %HP on enemy head health bars seem like something trivial and should've been implemented...

Meh, the percentage in target bar is kinda tiny, even when enlarged, it doesn't alert you when the target could be Assassinated, and that split second of looking at how many percent health is left could be enough for target to heal/get healed/stun/vanish etc... Discharge readiness has this huge electrical effect, yet Assasinate, a more important skill, has that small red text warning that target has too much HP, and UI target percentages are just not helpful IMHO.

Is there any way to see percentage of opponents/mobs in above-head health bars? Because I hate mashing Assassinate because it looks like target has 30%....

As I said, it's a cheap-o Sithy mouse with fixed 1000dpi, can't change it, via software or hardware. In normal PvE/PvP, sometimes there are some accel. bumps, but nothing serious. *Doesn't happen in other games (competitive games to be precise), so don't blame my setup* What bothers me is that a 1000dpi mouse at zero mouse speed or acceleration, and 0% speed in SWTOR is so sensitive in GSF, and there isn't anything I can do, except change speed in Windows manually each time I go play GSF... Just thought someone had similar issues here.

...is still to fast for GSF (even PvE/PvP sometimes get acceleration)!!! I'm playing on one monitor @ 1080p with a fixed 1000DPI mouse and disabled Windows Mouse Accel. and 6/11 neutral speed setting. Any possible config editing to help?

Yeah, expected as much. Some of these edges stick like a sore thumb... I actually noticed Anisotropic Texture Filtering on Imp Fleet, those carpets, unbelievable change from blurry to sharp, but I don't notice it on other stuff. As far for AA, I won't bother digging in the drivers, maybe if I find Inspector preset. You'd expect a solid MSAA or FXAA in such a game, current implementation only stresses GPU and doesn't fix edges a lot... I actually have shadows on Low in my picture...

So, with these settings maxed (actually with everything on max), they don't seem to do much at all: http://i.imgur.com/HV5Kdv8.jpg PS: AA does smooth *SOME* far away edges only on High setting, and Filtering seems to have no effect at all. Win7, 560ti, i5, 8GB RAM, SSD.

FYI I'm running SWTOR on 8gb DDR3 @ 1600mhz, i5 @3.2ghz, 560ti factory OC, 2x SSD disks...

To make it more interesting - this card was bought when SWTOR came out So it's definitely not an typical "old overheating card" issue, something has changed in SWTOR...

Nah, thing is, SWTOR per se caused a lot of GPU load and that caused heat buildup, but if I had even Firefox running in the background there was the "self preserve" GPU down throttling. Sometimes just having SWTOR only also caused it. As I said, I am now on old but really good GPU drivers, and I have cleaned my PC and put in the new thermal paste. It still pushes temps to ~95°c, and 100 is where it down throttles, but it's not happening anymore. However, it wasn't like this before!!! To make it more interesting - this card was bought when SWTOR came out So it's definitely not an typical "old overheating card" issue, something has changed in SWTOR...

Well, so far, it seems that either it was a GPU heating issue caused by either something with the game overloading the GPU, or it was the drivers, or because how old the card is. I can surely tell that SWTOR now causes my GPU to spin the fan at max speeds, even now that I cleaned it and and reapplied the heating paste. Basically the GPU hit 100°c and throttled down... I am also running the game and the launcher with manually set admin privileges just in case, since it was mentioned. I am closely monitoring everything, so if it persists but the temperature stays within limits, I'll report back. PS: SWTOR didn't put so much strain on the GPU before, I'm using the exact same settings as always. I'm looking at you BioWare

Not even close. Even the Win power options are on max. I'll try to revert to some older version of GPU drivers, this seems like either CPU or GPU hiccups and drags down the other. And there ain't no drivers for CPU

Before DxDiag, here is what HWINFO x64 has to say: * http://i.imgur.com/peEmedp.jpg * <- I have no idea what to make of it. It's definitely not temperature throttling as I cleaned my PC and applied new thermal paste to GPU and CPU and left my chassis open. And yes, my GPU really works between 85-90°C. And once more, it's a clean Win 7 installation, with a clean SWTOR installation, same problem. PS: Total activity is I/O from System and game disk, both SSD. DxDiag:
