  1. I don't mean to be rude, but you shouldn't overhink stuff of which you obviously lack knowledge. You can't just take ideas from the physical world and use it for software. That's a huge mistake you see people on the internet make everyday, massively. Starting a PC and getting a game to run doesn't make anyone an expert at how the machine actually works. Still, 95% of totally clueless forum users think the opposite (I don't mean you with this statement, but look around, gosh).
  2. Come down from your little LSD trip. I know it's fun, but it's not real. There is no agreement whatsoever. Your whole idea is asinine. It starts with adding a premium shop and hits a high at adding gear to it.
  3. My gosh, GOOGLE it if you want to know what it is. You will be amazed at the discovery that there's actually a real, official website about it. Yes, the internet got that crazy over the past two decades. It's unbelievable I know, but it's true. Promise.

  5. No it's not. In a game that costs a monthly sub to keep playing, it's outright idiotic to make some stuff only available to people who pay extra. It starts with pre-order bonuses, followed by this new abomination called Digital Deluxe Edition, closely followed by Collector's Editions which could do very well with just the physical stuff. Now the next little big thing is the security key. After that, over time there will be the premium shop which will sell stuff like mounts, pets, and in ToR most likely customizations which will look much better than 99% of the stuff you can get ingame. I hate it. It has absolutely no place in a game with a monthly sub. It's just a capitalistic tool to create revenue out of nothing. The much higher security of your account should be perk enough. I get it though, it's the same as how you make a kid take it's bitter medicine, just put it onto a lot of sugar.
  6. There, I marked your problem for you. Star Wars is, and never was, Science Fiction. At it's most basic core, it all started as a classic fairy tale, dressed in a futuristic setting. Because it was the cool thing at it's time to do. "Long ago, in a land far far away, an empire ruled by the evil wizard Palpatine reigned everyone and everything with terror and fear. His army, led by the black knight Vader, roamed the lands to wipe out the rest of the opposing rebellion. A young farm boy named Luke Skywalker, who doesn't know much of the world, gets hold of an urgent message. Princess Leia Organa, leader of the last survivors of the rebellion, needs the help of an old friend of her, Ben Kenobi. Luke finds out that this person, who he knows as the old hermit, is in fact Obi Wan Kenobi, the last of a long wiped out order of white knights who fought together with Lukes father in the last big war. Together they went on a most adventurous journey through the land, met some new friends, freed the princess and helped the rebellion to defend themselves. Luke got taught by the old knight how to wield his father's old magic sword, and how to tap into the source of magic that surrounds every living thing. Dark knight kills white knight in the process, Luke and friends angry, empire tries to wipe out rebellion once and for all with a mighty super weapon, Luke uses magic to destroy it, yada yada battle won, end of the first part of the fairy tale." Star Wars is Future Fantasy, and NOT Science Fiction.

  8. I have no clue what you're trying to tell me. I get that you don't get what I said though. I try to elaborate: - Yes there seem to be some problems. - Because of the natural dynamics of raging internet masses (not unlike religious zealots) the problems got blown way out of proportion. The end.
  9. Yeah, investigating something doesn't mean that the problem is of the same proportion as the herd makes it look like.
  10. So you're somewhere in your mid teens then. Cute but unexperienced, uneducated, without any kind of noticeable attention span.
  11. I play an Assassin. There is absolutely no ability delay whatsoever. Every ability fires the instant I press the button. There is no waiting to finish an animation. Animations in general take never longer than a GCD, so there isn't even an overlap possible. Stuff which is off the GCD interestingly goes of instantly, no matter what my character is doing at that specific moment. There's only one tiny problem: it's not possible to"pre-cast" a free targeted aoe ability as long as the GCD hasn't finished. It's annoying, because you lose the time you need to place the reticle, rather than firing it off the instant the GCD finishes. But that's not delay, it's a small flaw in the general design. I can't speak for other classes above 10 though, besides that I experienced some weird behaviour with the Agent and his cover, but that was in beta. So I can't comment on anything else besides the Assassin for the moment. Based on my observations I'd guess that there is no general ability delay, but rather a problem with some select abilities. Judging from the sheep effect on the official forums I deem it rather possible that the problem got, like all the other ones, blown way way out of proportion. Now you have the situation where all the rabbid followers, with absolutely no clue what ability delay/lag really would look like, are crying and stomping like little cry babies, demanding something fixed that isn't nearly as broken as they make it look. If you read too much into all the rage you can easily get sucked into it. I speak from experience, because after not playing for a few days and taking part in the discussion about the high texture detail problem, I started to believe that the game indeed would look like utter crap. In reality though, if you play with everything maxed and some AA mixed into it, the game simply looks gorgeous. Yes, if you look too close textures get blurry. In reality though you would only zoom in that close to make screenshots that you gonna use to complain about the texture quality on the forums anyway. Of course it would be preffered to have the best possible textures available in general. But the current state is in no way as bad as the clowns on this forum are making it look.
  12. Thank you very much. My god can this game look good. It's beyond me why they aren't trying to make it look that great by default. Now we need a crafty fix for the armor textures.
  13. Sadly they removed LOD options from the drivers. I can remember seeing them about 10 years ago. Thanks for your reply anyway, I will look into it. There must be some way to do it
