  1. As a member of Pegasus Command for over a year I can say I enjoy the social times on discord as well as the broad selection of games available to play with such a fun community. In SWTOR itself we have a dedicated game commander and some fun people to interact with. We are hoping you will consider joining us.
  2. the server origin issue was/is to prevent duplicate names, so even if you had 2 guild/people with the same name they would be unique for the server.
  3. Thats not unleashed, thats the bitraider patcher most likely unless your unleashed is running when the patch goes out. To fix, if you have the st in the lower left corner, look up posts on reorganizing data and it will tell you how to modify the patching to the old way. If unleashed is running when a patch comes it, it can cause the system to try to patch the RAM disk files not the originals, which will cause issues. make sure to remove and quit or use the retail function for patches. Once the patch is working unleashed normally works fine. If unleashed seems to crash after a patch, try deleting the config file for it and reloading, chances are the file sizes changed and it needs to be adjusted in the settings file.
  4. How do you mean? You install the program. you run it with admin privledges. the first time you open the settings, add check marks appropriate to your amount of RAM. Specifics on what files do what are not defined and you have to experiment with them, in part because some of these change patch to patch. Save the settings and run the program. When you want to undo/remove the RAMdrive you reopen the launcher and choose remove and quit.
  5. @skid your laptop has a tricore processor and 4 GB of RAM if I am reading correctly. This lack of RAM will cause you issues both with running the game at speed and with using a RAM disk based accelerator like Unleashed. This program takes a portion of 'excess' RAM and preloads files into it so they are accessed faster, with your system you won't have enough RAM to run TOR, windows and the RAMDISK. Since your issue is limited to load times, I can recommend you check into two options. First check your hard disk speed and if your not running 7200RPM or greater drives then upgrading the drive speed will help load times. Second is to upgrade your RAM to the maximum allowed by your motherboard. If this is at least 8GB then you can use unleashed to preload some of the files to help your performance.
  6. My #1 QoL fix would be.. Fix the existing errors ie. implants with the wrong name/level and droid custom gear thats green. #2: standardize.. more stuff should be balanced in mats to items, also the level skips for armoring/mod/enhancements at the vendors needs a better balance to the ones we can craft to help build better niche areas for crafters to fill in the blanks. #3: no Bind on pickup. all crafting should be Legacy or BoE.
  7. The usual cause of someone saying the program is broke is.. the XML configuration got corrupted. the usual cause of someone saying the program broke SWTOR is the alias files are still in place and they try to launch normally. This usually means the SWTOR client crashed to desktop and then someone tried to use the normal launcher not unleashed, especially if they rebooted. The Solution usually is to load unleashed and do a remove and quit so that the alias pointers are correctly removed. @ KarmaForce, can you remap to ALT not CTRL, that sounds like a conflict or something, or maybe preload the other program and see if they play nice that way. @ Thundernuts do you have the add 100 MB checked? have you deleted your original diskcache and retried? if you pick a couple items from the checklist manually does it give you the same problem as trying to use the dynamic/FX buttons? have you deleted your config file and restarted?
  8. Listen to the problem, Repeat the problem back to verify the CS agent has a clear understanding of the issue. Set expectations by a engaging the customer and verifying what they want fixed, and offering what you can do to solve/ameliorate the issue. Complete the task. Verify with the customer that the task is complete. Close the ticket. Why when I submit a ticket to CS is a droid sending me an inaccurate to my issue message that gives false expectations of resolution times, then closes the ticket before the resolution is made. Suggestion: ALL tickets should be treated with the same care and handling. No droid/automated process should close a ticket without customer agreement that the issue is resolved.
  9. my issue as a mostly Solo player is.. getting enough of the items to matter, I have on most my 10 toons a main character and at least 2 companions that I use regularly. For example my sorc. healing spec has ashara and khem that I want geared equal to my main, and i'd like the other 3 to be no more than a tier or so back, thats not including adding in HK or any new companions they add to the game. Even running a regular ops group, how does one get in enough comms, drops, etc to properly max gear within a reasonable timeframe.. say 3 months?
  10. Like most the crafting scene, the whole system needs to be revamped along with the planetary vendors to rebalance things since the last time that was done was 1.2 before most of the lvl 50 ops and all the newer 2.0+ stuff got added. No matter what they do people will complain, however if they rebalance the system correctly with room to expand, and take advantage of their updates such as BoL options they should be able to make something that is fair to all crafts and can allow for reasonable profits.
  11. If the game seems unstable or to have any problems at all, I recommend not only deleting the XML file and letting it rebuild the settings, but also deleting the disk cache file. as a cache file the game will recreate it during launch and it tends to occasionally get corrupted. Personally I run a session after the disk cache has been deleted in retail, then go back unleashed. This lets me confirm the issue with the game itself is resolved before I reload into the RAMdrive. @---Katsumoto--- : are you running the IM disk from the unleashed folder or a downloaded copy? Either way I'd uninstall it. Reinstall and reboot. then try the ramdisk creation. if that is failing its an issue with imdisk not unleashed and you might need a copy from the imdisk website or from the unleashed folder sometimes the computer likes one version over another.
  12. This program doesn't change any of the files. it Simply makes a copy of them in a RAM drive and leaves pointers to them with the originals. This state persists until you do a remove and quit or until you restart (which dumps the ramdrive).
  13. I've been using it for months, I don't see any real 'boost', what I do see is what the program is designed for, a reduction in bad times. Example: without unleashed it was real common for me to hit spots where my FPS dropped from 40-60 normal into the 10-20 range which made combat *ahem* difficult, and some fights I even saw it go under 10 FPS. With unleashed I rarely see the FPS drop below 40, and if it does its for less time which gives a much smoother game and combat. If someone had a GFX card that was of lesser memory causing the system to load and unload things more often it could actually provide a 'boost' effect because the textures would be loading from the faster ram drive not the hard drive. Looking for what files do what : UMMV http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=529567&page=34
  14. I found deleting the disk cache before you run a new version helps, on many issues, and many times when something funny starts to happen, remove and quit, delete the disk cache and restart will fix. the 100 MB probably should be on by default since it does seem to make a huge difference on a lot of issues. This is one of the best free programs i've ever had and probably the only reason I still subscribe instead of switching down to the FTP side of the game.
  15. Its not a bug, its an intentional lack of proper preparation by the designers, Its happened in every MMO I have ever played. When a game hits a Max level, the designers start to tier end game stuff so they keep people playing, however, the next expansion that ups the level cap then causes them to have new gear that is equal or better than the non/low tier end game gear. For some reason the designers do not seem to take this issue into account when they set up the game so they don't leave proper gear skips and try things like 5 level cap increases. specifically for TOR they should have gone for 10 levels and then made all the MAKEB planetary gear start at level 54, it still would not have been perfect but it would make more of the old 49/40 gear stay relevant for another 2-3 levels. Perhaps they will learn not to do this for the next expansion.
  16. )1 When hitting the comm vendors or crafting I noticed several items named Generator that are actually a focus, Nar Shaddaa and artiface mid-20s, probably more. )2 Several of the Enhancements have the same Values but different names, this is very noticable on Voss buying them. Please have QA confirm the items, and correct these minor but annoying items. THX
  17. I'm Glad the suggestions and new version help Jason, Personally I think what happens is when it does certain patches, they corrupt something in the configuration of unleashed which ends up causing that no room issue you were having. oh and based on your 24 gig, i'd recommend 16 for the Max ramdisk size, OSes tend to use a lot more than we think especially if the physical memory shows as having lots of room. EX: Glad to see your still improving this, Thanks for all the work, While I haven't seen any super jumps, its done what it was designed to, it has minimized the gfx issues the game still has that used to give me the 10fps crawls. In fact its probably one of the biggest reasons I still play.
  18. Jasontiller: Unfortunately what your looking at for using another ramdisk is needing to manually adjust the BAT files, the exe is mostly a tool that adds items or subtracts them from the bat file, then runs it. Using any other RAM disk program is going to require manual modifications. When unleashed gives you a size of RAM drive does that match what is created? How much RAM do you have, and Which items are you selecting to have loaded? Does it have the same issue if you only select the cache files? STNcold: What does the warning say? if its happening after a removal of the ramdrive it sounds like a conflict with the RAMdisk program and something on your system rather than with unleashed itself. have you tried a selective startup with only the microsoft items and services running to see if another program is in conflict with Unleashed or the Ramdisk? pingumacht, zorblack: Can you give us the system specs( OS, amount of RAM) and what items your selecting?
  19. I've been a player that played daily, I've also been a player that only gets on once or twice a week or sometimes even less. I'd like to see some new options on the website to help everyone get access to information and the market. 1) a character viewing tool. - Shows your character, stats, items - maybe start basic, and update it during weekly maint. until the bugs are out of it. 2) I'd like to access the Cartel Market from the website, so I can browse the sales and even occasionally make purchases when I am not at home and not able to get in game to do it. 3) Name checker tool, so we can search for names to use before purchasing a rename esp. since its 10$ in coins to rename a character.
  20. 1) Increase your ticket lifespan, after skimming the forums as well as several of my own tickets, your automatic bot and agents both tend to close issues when they provide an answer, often incomplete or incorrect ones, requiring multiple tickets for one issue and/or forum posts 'airing the dirty laundry' and overall increasing the dissatisfaction with the service. Since the ticketing service is online, there should be no real issue with an agent leaving a ticket as open for either the customer to close or til a 7 day wait for a response is complete. Yes it will mean a large amount of tickets sitting open in limbo for a few days til the agent closes them, but it will also mean less of the tickets falling through cracks and ending up submitted 3 times over esp. by the scripted bot. 2) where is your bridge.. at least half the messed up ticket rants I have seen come down to, the first or more contacts did not bother to read the question/issue and confirm it, so they send off bad information. it would help you to get on the same page with the customer, then solve the issue, then close the ticket.
  21. why bother on the 45 plus stuff at least, just hit 50 and get the free tionese gear with set bonuses and all. now in the 20-40 range esp, bracers and belts it could be worth it since there are fewer custom options, though yes the mats to make so many going blue to purple kills you.
  22. I don't know the rating #s, offhand tier 0 is under 120, tier 1 is the 120-126 Tionese stuff. Check the fleet vendors for the ratings on tionese, campaign, blackhole rattataki etc.. and it should give you some approximates for end-game tiers.
  23. I do not recall if they did or did not state it would be free, they certainly implied it since it was scheduled to be in the 2012 content line up. When they redid the game for F2P it did cause delays, delays in customer service which also handles a large amount of their bug reporting and feedback among other things, like bugs on Cartel items which get a bump in priority because of the Money/Coins involved. I think the game would have been better pushing out the content in 1.5 and 1.6 and F2p should have been this week with the whole Market having been in not one but 2 patches on the test server to give them more feedback and more time fixing it before introduction. The 'fixes' they did like taking 'account' items that were only working for a character and patching the tooltip/text to read per character rather than fixing it seem lazy and cheap. Which is how the information on the expansion reads. I left wow after over 5 years of playing because.. it was becoming like a console game rather than an RPG. In that time I bought the expansions, and while the price is high on those at release, it was a strong amount of content, and covered 3-4 other large expansions during the next 2 years plus usually some minor polishing things and expansions, and this was without you paying beyond the base subscription. I have also looked at other MMOs, it seems many are using the DLC model, and that is ok, if its polished (ie minor bugs only) content and if the price fits. the price on this expansion is 20$ not 10$. 10$ is a discount rate. So the actual 'value' of the content should be judged at its real price not the discount. If one of those other games asked 20$ for the currently listed amount of content, it would only be purchased by a few with reason. the same reason most the original subscribers left in the first place, its about Value for your $$ not about the $$ itself. I think the expansion as currently listed is overpriced for the value especially when one considers the number of unfixed bugs that are more than 3 months old, and the average ticket wait time of over 4 days and phone calls generally starting at 2+ hours of wait times.
  24. I'm not sure where I saw it, but i seem to remember a BW reply to one of the crafting complaints saying that the system isn't based at all on an individuals change but it randoms based on the entire population RE ing at the time you do the work. Which means your 20% isn't really a 20% each time.. because its modified somehow by how many other people are doing RE s
  25. Personally I like Slicing and scavageing.. one for parts and one for money to buy stuff Then on an alt, I get underworld trading and work that.. it also depends on what class you are since your crew have criticals that can really help in the long run.
