i played this game at launch, ran reasonably well at around 50-70% full power.
picked up the game again the week before halo 4 came out. Still Ran Fine. (Had to avoid the fleet, too many people bogged down my game)
but now...(Since F2P, or at least the clusterF**** to find the HK droid parts) The game has become virtually unplayable! i can't go 3 feet without lagging 30 yards. (I've fallen off more then a few ledges to this, including the chasm beneath the fleet)
The funny thing is in World of warcraft i can have 250 people with in 60 yards of me and not lag at all. But swtor. Put 30 in close proximity, and the game falls apart.
Bioware should look into a way to improve game performance (how smooth it runs) without compromising graphic quality. (if thats even possible)
I know its a crazy huge game, but i still love it.
