i do run every HM op at least once a week in a pug par rav and tos since i dont have them clear only 4/5 3/5 + do the priority OP with my guild, i would guess my succes rate with pugs to about 70-75%, every pug is either done after 2 hours or we part our ways when we couldnt clear it, whats wrong with that? And no there arent only Hardcore Gamers in those groups, i guided plenty of people who were WILLING TO LEARN through at least SNV & TBF HM, even with a OP IX first try 2 weeks ago with 3 new players. if people dont bother to do other ops par EV and KP then they are afraid of a potential failure and that is seriously not the games fault. This game is already easy as it is. why do you want to take out the 2 modes (that already exist btw, no need to code them for the current cycle) that require the player to use more than 1 braincell and 1 button to press.

maybe the stats were nerfed but it was still as easy as wiping your own butt after a nice toilett sitting, maybe not the NIM versions but the HM versions of the 55 OP at 60 were NOT harder than current ev/kp. what? i have never seen anyone on my german server that whines about the difficulty of the current HM/NIM other than maybe Master and Blaster. Some forum whines from people who cant clear it first time with randoms because they dont want to go into a guild for various reasons does not count as the majority. see you even said the characters were nerfed, why do you think HARDMODE and NIGHTMARE should be a cakewalk with 7 random people that may have never seen it before, even if you are 5 level above? there is a flying ball that flies around which everyone has to get one of, and in the final phase you need to know your own color and your name to know when to run to the middle, thats the difference to SM to HM. what exactly is so very hard about it? HM and NIM arent supposed to be cleared in one go when the people dont know it, if people know the fights you wont have problems. so you are saying that EVERY GAME should only have 1 difficulty level which is "Super Easy" because the other modes are a "waste of develope time" because less people are going to beat the harder difficulties?? The Operations dont change from SM to NIM other than that it gets harder. It is no difference than for example "The Last of Us". I can play that game on "Easy" or "Survivor" the game does not change, only the difficulty of it changes. And i doubt more than 5% of the people finished that game on "Survivor" or what ever the highest one is called.

Maybe that is because you were LVL 60 and 6 Gear Tiers above the Requirement those OP had? They were as easy as going to the toilet, just like EV/EC/KP were on lvl 55. You really wanted relevent gear for this? If people have Problems with Hardmodes other than ToS and RaV then they most likely werent around when those HM modes where first released, so for THEM, even tho the content is indeed old IS NEW CONTENT Good Job you managed to beat bosses 5 LVL and 6 Gear Tiers above requirement. If People cant beat current Hardmode and Nightmare then they couldnt do it when they were LVL 50/55. Why do you want to nerf them? The only difference between SM and HM/NM is that there are more red circles and more incoming DMG, your average today "MMO Gamer" or how you called it should not care about those since he can get the SAME experience in SM and just want quick fun right?:confused: do you know the definition of NIGHTMARE? i have it for you: a terrifying dream in which the dreamer experiences feelings of helplessness, extreme anxiety, sorrow, etc. replace the dream and dreamer with "challenge and player" and you get the definition for SWTOR: a terrifying challenge in which the player experiences feelings of helplessness, extreme anxiety, sorrow, etc. so tell me why your average today "MMO Gamer" or how you called it should be able to clear it whithout putting in the effort needed. The NIM Modes are relevant because they are LVL 65 content, so they should offer a NIGHTMARE experience, even if they are OLD. It does need changes but surely not on the difficutly of the current content, because when people still struggle with it they simply didnt experienced it the first time it was arround. sry for englando:rak_03:

i have the 970 for 2 weeks now before that i had an amd Hd 7950, kinda runs the same now just like with the 7950.

i got GraphicsDeviceId = 5058 i can pm you my settings if you like maybe there is sth i have different?

well then sorry thats all i did after i noticed i only get 10 fps in warzones and ops.

go into your Nvidia control panel (rightclick on gforce experience icon in the task bar) there should be a 3D Settings option (i dont know exactly how its called since im german and its german for me ) there you can set GLOBAL settings for all games (like force VSYNC and stuff) and GAME SETTINGS for EVERY game itself) just search for the star wars launcher or add it by yourself. Then scroll through the settings until you reach power management (????) and set it to max load. Restart game and test. edit: to add it doesnt fix everything that it runs 60fps+ but it stays at least on playable 30 fps or more

Did you try to force your GPU to max Load for Swtor, fixed it pretty nicely for me, and i too have a gtx 970. I Have this problem with a lot of "older games" where my gpu doesnt feel the need to clock itself up properly, forcing it to max load in these games fixes that. New games no problem

Kauf dir ein Monitor der die 4k auflösung unterstützt und spiel darin das geht schon ^^

Rechner auf, Graka entstauben würd ich mal probieren, so heiß werden die normal nicht, war bei meiner 6870 auch mal so, musst nur mal die lüfter richtig nochmal reinigen dann funzt das wieder
