Hello , I have been experiencing connection issue's where my connection to the server will just drop ( time out ) this happens random. I can play for several hours with no issue or i can l og in and within 5 minuts i already lost connection normally after this happens i can log back into the server and the game pretty fast and alot of the time i can then continue playing for a decent time before it happens again. Now i have read a little on the forums and people are saying to do a trace or pathping whatever or to use pingplotter i have no idea what all this means but i have downloaded and ran pingplotter and it did show issue's i just dont know what it all means i am pretty sure though that the problem is on my end and not bioware i think it might be a issue with my router not sure. Anyway i have clicked share on pingplotter and this is the link it gave me : link Can someone tell me what it means and if there are any steps i can take ? Thank you in advance.

Hello people , Iam seriously thinking about buying a upgrade kit / seperate hardware components.. basically what i had in mind is ditching everything i have memory / motherboard and cpu , because there outdated ( am2 ) at the moment i have a HD 6870 video card and after reading some articled etc.. something caught my attention.. basically building a scorpius platform , my current card together with a FX proccesor ( was thinking about 6100 ) have to look at the money too ofc so dont want to go to high , and combine that proccesor with a 990 chipset motherboard plus my current card and 8 or more gigs of ddr3 1600 memory.. Now i dont plan on doing this just to play swtor or something just in general because my system is pretty old , however can anyone advice if this is a good step to take if building that platform is worth the money ? i know a little about pc's but not enough.. does this build give good performance for gaming ? or does it suck ? Any advice i want to keep my hd6870 since its brand new the motherboard , memory and proccesor is open for debate.. but since card is amd i prever to build amd around it. thank you in advance for any tips / advice.

Iam no expert on the rolling system.. I normally only need on a items if it directly increases my stats etc and i can use it on my own character , ive never rolled for a item for my companion normally if possible i filter down items and or create or buy them for companion.. but yeah i think using common sence and asking for need for companion makes sence there will always be ninja's though unless they can improve the rolling system.. How often ive come accros a chest guarded by a elite mob.. fighting it just so someone else cna run up and steal the chest.. , i wish they would lock the chest and put a key or something on the elite mob guarding it so the one(s) fighting it will only have acces to it after the fight.

I like both sides.. Iam playing republic at the moment... however i dont think ive played the game really as i want to.. since we have light and dark side options in conversations.. i often go for the points to help increase my tier.. that also kinda ruins it becasue although i play a republic i sometimes get very tired of putting people in jail part while just seconds ago they where trying to blow my head off ? hell no ! , kill Him ! , oh but i have zero dark side points so i guess ile let him live and increase light side.. Thats basically my problem i guess i dont really play the game as i want to play it wich is my own faulth perhaps.. , its just so temptng to get the points. Anyways i like both sides.

UI Customizazation , Will we be able to put a quickslot bar on the bottom ? 3 ( or moe ) instead of just 2 , will be able to rotate them , drag them around etc..

downtime is never fun , but not being able to play due to gamebreaking issues ( such as the one after the last patch ) ctd's , constant freezes that make it unplayable etc... isnt fun either and is pretty much downtime for many players as well.. i also believe that in time the services and downtimes will get better as the game will get more stable ( i assume at least ) you never know.. but think positive. i also think its not entirely fair to compare long lasting games with swtor and if its all so great why not play that then. may not have as much downtime or is more polished but has been milked out and chewed on so much already , no thanks.

I agree that this could possibly be introduced to the exsisting message.. However i disagree about the part that the forum is a last resort the forum is not just for issues and troubleshooting , it also contains alot of useful information and i think its a good thing if people make use of the forums in general and not only when they encounter a issue... not saying you ment it that way though i just think that the forum is more then a shoutbox for troubles.

Ok thanks for the reply i will check that out To bad the rest of the ui is not possible to move around i have the tendacy to drag a window around each time i open it just to discover over and over agian thats its n ot possible i guess that sort of grew in with other games/mmo's ive played. Thanks for the tip.

Hello , I would like to know if its possible to filer your chat not for profanity but needless conversations of npc's for example and crew mates that say the same thing over and over when they complete a mission or when you board your ship also possible you recieved xxxx amount of credits / xp / item... the char window is pretty small and although you can make it larger that pretty much makes theleft quickslot useless with alot of things going on chat will be rolling on the screen like crazy for every bit of info and that can sometimes lead to a mess and need to scroll back alot for the normal general chat / guild chat etc.. any tips on this ? Also iam playing as a Jedi Sage ( healer ) and iam using the operation frames because there very usefull and you cna move it around to the middle of the screen to make overview and clicking names more easyer , are there any other parts of the ui that you can unlock/dock and move around etc.. ? thanks for the tips/advice you would have. Greetz.

Hey everyone Good guide , i would like to add the use of healing frames and focus targets i coudl write it all down but instead here are 2 links to some youtube vids that explain it pretty well. Focus Target : Healing Frames : Greetz. Edit : I play as a Jedi Sage myself , and what i also find handy is when your fighting some tuff enemies , takes some out of the fight , for a Jedi Sage , Force Lift is very usefull , so you group can pick off the rest first and then focus on the big ones other classes have skills also that can take enemies out of a fight for a short duration.

@Vortgon , Ok thanks for explanation , ive posted a link in my previous post perhaps you can look at that.. it seems oke i guess.. and it sais its secured for certain things like energy spikes and shortages etc.. As for the card range.. the highest i could go with my budget would be this : http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/Grafische_kaarten_NVIDIA_PCIe/EVGA/GeForce_GTX550_Ti/556709/?tn=HARDWARE&l1=Grafische+kaarten&l2=PCIe+kaarten+NVIDIA&l3=GeForce+GTX its more expensive because it has more memory i guess.. below that are a variation on 550 TI , GTX 560 , and one 460 i believe that fall into my budget range.. , I really appreciate all your help from everyone i am absolutly no tech so i dont know what is solid and what is not so good. ( if i buy a psu and card though i will not install it myself ) so thats a relief as i have pretty much zip knowledge about it. ^^

yes ive decided too purchase a power supply and graphic card i have maximum of 250 Euro's too spend looking at the prices of the card i might be able too afford a decent psu as well.. Thank you for all the assistance much appreciated.. I will be able too run swtor oke then with a stable fps ? ( with stable i mean a good avarage iam aware that some places in the game will always eat a chunk of fps ) Thank you again. EDIT : @ Mandrax , Yes i dont know much about psu the only thing ive read that you will need too look at one that has a good efficiancy i guess that means how much watts it can deliver constantly. As for the psu i was looking at this one: http://www.alternate.nl/html/shop/productDetails.html?artno=TN7O00&baseId=699677 Hope you can see that link.. its dutch but specs are mostly english.
