  1. DX12 was discussed way back in version 2 and 3 and it's not implimented but now will be?  Difficult another new studio could do it. DX12 MultiCPU threading a single threaded game engine that was build for WinXP?  Difficult to imagine a new studio could do it.  

    AWS servers are high latency and expensive to keep them responsive vs your own dedicated servers.   We have them and a process that takes seconds on premisis can take hours in cloud.   Why increase the back end costs for a game that's not a Play Anywhere on any platform engine?  This will increase the subscription costs or slow down frames. 

    Disney taming the Bioware wild side of original George Lucas Space and shift away with a new developers redacting outfits and now 'political' content.   SWTOR may go into EU and out of game canon.   The High Republic 200 BBY may want to steal content from The Old Republic 3800 BBY so keeping both may no longer be 'Authentic' for Disney. 

     

  2. SWTOR might not get play anywhere (like Fortnite) but when will SWTOR drop a 64bit game client for WIN10 /11 & MAC OS? All the 4K content and story can stay as is. The game just needs a folklift up to populate subs again.

     

    The WinXP certified code (circa 2010 game engine) is lagging and suffers from lack of multithreading.

     

    Creation Engine 2 (elder scrolls) or Unreal (fortnite) or Frostbite (SW Battlefront 2) are some 4K Dolby Vision and Dolby Atoms HDR ready game engines.

     

    ps Is there any good SWTOR VPN Accelerator that is not blocked and does improve frame rates?

     

    Don't reply Not gonna happen.

     

    A game engine code migration utility was created or is created for this purpose to bump the code over, then bring up a test server, then users can migrate when they want. An old WinXP server can be left online until it's sorted.

     

  3. Anyone run SWTOR on Mixed Reality or VR headset that tracks your head motion?

     

    Does it work?

     

    Have you been able to integrate controls and key bindings?

     

    Here comes Microsoft's Mixed Reality Headset Preorder just in time for Holidays and new releases.

    The developer edition was twin LCD 1440 x 1440 each.

     

    So popular options include:

    Steam VR Headset

    Samsung HMD Odyssey headset

    (NEW) AltSpaceVR (Microsoft just purchased them)

    a couple of other ones form Dell, Acer, Lenovo, Oculus, HP

  5. The ONLY reason this game still has live servers is because of that loyalty to the Star Wars IP. If this game didn't have a shiny Star Wars badge it would've already died. And that shiny Star Wars badge is very tarnished now, after three years on no content that could remotely be called Star Wars.

     

    All The Best

     

    True + plus the novelty of being the only pre cannon game left

  6. Of course I understand that. Who doesn't? Were you under the impression nobody used it? Of course not. But, of the people who DID use it, 50% have dropped from the game. It's obviously not ALL the data, but it sure as hell is SOME data and I believe it's a very telling sampling of the current state of the game.

     

    It's valid data on the trend we all see. Disney and EA have been focusing all games during the time of the theatrical movies and extensively preparing fans for all the spin offs during the same period. Disney terminated the other 'problem SW games' and thier entire Infinity platform.

     

    SWTOR is the abnormality. Unless TOR can reconnect and integrate with other Disney platforms, it's movies, its toys, it's theme parks, it won't get corporate attention nor budgets and staff. =(

  7. Hey all,

     

    I've been heads down on whole variety of things the last few weeks, so I haven't been as active on the forums nor have I been able to keep up with PMs. I've also been drafting the next Roadmap update and making changes based on feedback I've been given and read here in the thread. It'll be few weeks before the Roadmap is ready to release, as we're making final refinements to the content and delivery schedules.

     

    Sorry about having to delay Game Update 5.4, but as Musco pointed out, it was too impactful to release. For those who earn the ability to open the Umbara Stronghold, I'm sure you'll find the 5,000 credit price versus the normal 2M credits a nice change.

     

    Lastly, we've had a few queuing hiccups on our East Coast servers over the past couple weeks, but we're making some adjustments in tomorrow's maintenance that should resolve those going forward.

    Keith where is BW team on server mergers and addressing game population declines? What is planned for us as we approach the slow down out of summer peak and holiday competitive new game releases ? Or is there nothing that can be done at this point?

  8. Also please define in detail your definition in 2017 MMO vs 2010 MMO. Wikis dont give a clear definition for 2017 terms because MMO has a dozen sub types included

     

    en.oxforddictionaries.com

    An online role-playing video game in which a very large number of people participate simultaneously.

  9. I've been a subscriber since launch but GC killed it for me. To me the game has been going downhill for the last several years. I am still subbed hoping it will turn around but I haven't played in over 4 months.

     

    I am at the point where I wouldn't mind seeing them shut this game down and create a new Star Wars MMO.
