+1 to this idea

Yeah, I know about this, but the problem is that my CPU is physically 2-core, but thanks to hyper-threading system sees it as 4-core. Anyway, none of "four" cores was used more than 40 percent, which still isnt full even for two physical cores. And another thing is, that changing graphic settings doesnt change the FPS of WZs at all... But thanks for your reply anyway

But its not about this at all! I know that laptops are not for gaming, but there are several laptops at least a bit suitable for gaming, like mine for example. Moreover I am not the only one who has the problem, there are many people who has this problem on normal PCs. But why the damn game can't use all resources possible in WZ? Why in PvE game runs on 40+ FPS?! This isnt about hardware, but the game. HW is more than sufficient for this game

Hutball was little bit better, 20-25 FPS and GPU usage about 50%...

Just found out funny thing: I installed GPU meter gadged. And on character selection screen, justicar teritory, I have 40-80FPS, and GPU usage on 100%. Got to Alderaan WZ, and GPU usage was about 20%, didnt go over 30%. And FPS was 10-20!!! HDD indicator LED wasnt blinking, so engine DIDNT have to wait for data to render... SO WHAT THE HELL??? WHERE IS THE PROBLEM?!

Hey all, I just wanted to tell you my latest findings about FPS of SWTOR on my laptop: Its Asus G51, Core i5 520M, nVidia GeForce 360M GTS, 4GB RAM. I even bought 8GB RAM kit to try RAMDISK, thread can be found here on the forum. So now I have 8GB RAM, but it didnt help. I tried almost everything I found over the internet, tried every fix, from changes of *.cfg files, RAMDISK, graphic settings, windows settings... and many many more. BUT THE ONLY THINK WHICH HELPED: Deleting (Renaming) swtor_main_art_fx_1.tor file. I didnt see almost anything about combat, but on Alderaan WZ, I had about 30-40 FPS, which is perfect. Only that tiny problem about not seeing bolts, sabers etc... So it was basicly unplayable, but from another reason. Even if this file was moved to Ramdisk, didnt help. Well, thats it. May the force be with you all

Hey guys. My character's name is Jolee, after KOTOR "neutral" consular - old man. Just found that there is a lighsaber named after this man in SWTOR... And has black-blue color crystal... I have played KOTOR several times, and Jolee never had black-blue crystal... he had green. I know that green is standard consular's color, and I'm happy you made some room for my favourite Jolee, but not like this... Also Bastila, she had yellow crystal, only while tempted by the dark side red... Lighsaber crystals in SWTOR are strange... cant imagine I'm burning a hole into the doors like Qui Gon with black-blue lighsaber. I would prefer that epic end-game crystals could take color YOU wish (purple saber for dark side? which side was Master Windu again guys?!), maybe even some sliders to pick color, but the core, or "blade" itself should be always white. Cheers

Hey everybody, I would also like to know my output dps, but do I really want this? Do we want this to become WoW? in WoW, everybody knows best rotation, exact dps it should give, in party mission who hits hardest etc etc... I dont want to SWTOR become WoW, so that tank will 'exit location' with words that he has highest dps, we damage dealers suck and he is leaving. It will be only about numbers... Seriously, you, who played or still plays WoW, do you watch game itself, or do you watch your dps metter and be happy to be on the top of it? Did you never post to chat list of dps because you were first? In a city, fleet or somewhere like that, there could be something as training ground, with some mobs. Let players to attack it for 5secs for burst damage, 60 for continous, 3 mins... and then tell them their dps, so they can test their rotations and improve themselves. WoW become strange game, PVP is ONLY about equip, everybody has their dps meters, and no one is really enjoying the game itself, only the numbers (still, it runs great in Battlegrounds :-P), which is the reason many people stopped playing it. I dont want this to happen to SWTOR too. And now stone me :-P

Exactly my thoughts... For Sith, some kind of Revanish mission as someone mentioned before, for jedi - the temptation of dark side was simply too big, trooper already has betrayers in his story, so maybe he could join them at the end... etc... etc... etc... There are many possibilities, so maybe in some BIG patch or datadisc, we have something to look forward to... But now Im just looking forward when PVP will have fine FPS as the rest of the game, and I will encounter there other than 50s when Im not one of them... Cheers

I have just realized, that story is bound to faction, so maybe, if ever, it could be possible after finishing all of the story missions...

Hey everybody, I was wondering, if it would be possible, to choose which faction you want to play with, regardless on your character class chosen while chreating it. Imagine fallen Jedi, dark side, red lightsaber, and still fighting for republic? I play Republic, and now I have tried Bounty Hunter. I like it very much, maybe more than any of my Republic chars, but I dont wanna play for the Empire (I'm a good guy, you know :-P and Empire population is higher on almost every server) My idea is this: After reaching some grade of Light/Dark Side points, you could (but didnt have to) accept a mission, to change your side. I know that this would be difficult to make, and more importantly, from this point, Empire would be only bad and evil, and Republic good and kind, and everybody knows it isnt that easy , but still, it would be awesome, at least for me... So, who's in?
