    [spoiler] Your own game spoils itself!

    in Story and Lore

    Posted

    I'm guessing you're never been to Makeb, if you have to ask that question. There is a quest in your ship that you receive that has a spoiler in it. You turn it in on Makeb, and pick up a different quest during the cutscene that allows you to continue on Makeb. They don't have to be linked, and the one on the ship can be reprogrammed to only become available after you've completed your storyline.

    Making it so that the ship quest doesn't trigger until your storyline is complete but still being able to pick up the next quest in the line at the robot at the beginning of Makeb would not be limiting people who have purchased the expansion to not being able to play before they complete. It just means they won't be able to access the quest on the ship until then, for x amount of xp.

    This is my first time playing through on a warrior, so naturally I am listening to the story as I play. I have not completely my storyline.

     

    I was very disappointed to see that once I hit 47, a quest pops up on my holotransmitter on my ship. Lo and behold, it is the Makeb transmission, telling me that I had killed my master... I did what now? Not as far as I know.

     

    Why is this quest available, if it provides spoilers to the storyline, before I've completed my storyline quests? Unbelievable BioWare, after you've put such a heavy emphasis on the storylines yourselves.

    7970 vs SWTOR

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have two Sapphire 7970's crossfired overclocked to 1200mhz with eyefinity @ 5760x1080, and a 2600k @ 4.5 Ghz, and I had to turn off shadows to solve horrible stuttering (everything else is high). I get 90-100 fps in most places (I seem to be hard capped at 100fps, as it will never go higher), except raids and heavy populated areas like makeb (I get about 40-60 fps in those situations).

    Question about Authenticator

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    If I have a phone authenticator right now, would it be possible to get a physical one instead? I've heard stories that if you remove an authenticator from your account that you can't get another. I'm wondering how that would impact getting a physical one; whether it would cancel the one on my phone and apply the physical one, cancel the one on my phone and I can't have one any more, or they would both be synched to my account and display the same number. Any idea?

    Full Tank Tree Jugg > Hybrid Jugg

    in Combat Styles

    Posted · Edited by vertigo_

    Did you even try to determine what the hybrid tank spec *is*? This is the basic hybrid tank spec (the last point isn't spent because there isn't a "standard" place it's spent). If you look at it, you'll see that you actually get the Blade Barrier talent. As such, it *is* in the skill tree, so unless you just didn't know what the hybrid tank spec actually looks like, you would've actually seen it.

     

    Not always, I run 17/23/1 with the powertech set bonus on my jugg. no sonic barrier at all. works great :)

     

    edit: I will take sonic barrier if im pugging with crappy healers. I usually try to increase dps / threat.

    I put in a ticket about it. Their response was this:

     

    Greetings Mrhyde,

     

    I am Protocol Droid K8-I2, Human-Cyborg Relations.

     

    I was hoping to have a conversation with you earlier when I received your ticket, however you we're unavailable.

     

    I have received your ticket regarding an issue you have encountered while doing Explosive Conflict and trying to bring down "Nightmare Pilgrim" and we know how frustrating it is not to be able to properly play the game and we would like to humbly apologize for the upset and inconvenience caused, rest assured that we want to help you with your concern.

     

    I’m afraid that this response is rather lengthy, but I would ask you to please read through it all and before we can investigate your issue further, there are a number of steps we’d like you to try. Completing these steps will allow us to better troubleshoot your mission problem.

     

    • Can I ask you is the computer running unnecessary programs at the background (voice over-IP software / browser / mp3 player / etc.).

    • Try creating a second administrator account on your machine, and run the game from it.

    • Can you please to run the game after performing a clean boot (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796) / please reverse back to normal boot after trouble shooting.

    • Can you please complete with the following DirectX update http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=35

    • Some of our customers have pointed out on our forums, that your GPU is not being fully utilized when in Warzones or Flashpoints types of situations; we have found that character-heavy situations like these are usually limited by the CPU, not by rendering.

     

    Other changes you can make that will help improve performance:

     

    • We’ve read that some mobile graphics cards might not appropriately set their performance profile when running SWTOR. You can correct this by going to your graphics control panel and manually setting up a profile.

    • Please disable shadows in game by turning Shadow Quality to Off.

    • Disabling Windows Aero (or Similar Windows Theme) can also improve performance slightly.

    • Running the swtor.exe in Windows XP (Service Pack 3) Compatibility Mode

    • Please also put the game into Fullscreen (windowed) mode in the graphic options.

     

    We recommend you to use the latest driver for your motherboard or USB PCI ethernet card and tweak the power management features by opening the appropriate network card properties, to click on Configure and to go to the "Power Management" tab and unselect the "Allow Computer to turn off this device to save power" if selected.

     

    If you continue to experience problems with your game after confirming these steps, please reply to this email, attaching an up-to-date set of launcher logs, and a dxdiag of your system so that we can further investigate this for you, please send a response to this email containing as much of the following information as possible:

     

    1. The troubleshooting steps you have already tried.

     

    2. The most recent items in your logs folder

    - For 64 bit Operating Systems - C:\Program Files (x86)\EA\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic\logs

     

    3. Trace results.

    a. Go to http://network-tools.com/

    b. Select “Trace”

    c. In the box with the IP address, type http://www.swtor.com

    d. Click “Go”

    I responded by unsubbing. I have been a subscriber since prelaunch. Bioware, feel free to confirm my subscription status. My wife is unsubbing too (since we play together).

     

    To be fair, it was not just the lag, that was just the final straw. I also unsubbed because merc pvp is completely broken, and because daily/weekly black hole gear is equivalent to raid gear, I see no point in raiding (especially now that you can augment rakata for the set bonus + put black hole stuff inside of it).
