I would try doing a fresh install through Steam. If that doesnt work you can try using DDU in safe mode to uninstall display drivers. https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/

Yes they do.

Clicking on an item that is linked in chat often doesn't bring up the tooltip. Rarely it will pop up, but when I try to click on another linked item nothing happens. Not sure if it's the way my UI is setup or if this is a common bug.

Yeah. I don't know if it was intended or not - but they need to bring back ASAP.

Looks like its down right now. 😑

Agreed that those pings are unacceptable. I definitely wouldn't keep playing with that latency tbh. I hope yall get your server, you deserve it.

I write this post with a heavy heart and a growing sense of disappointment for the current state of our beloved game. SWTOR has always held a special place in our hearts, capturing the essence of the Star Wars universe and delivering a captivating MMO experience. However, as of late, it seems that our enthusiasm and loyalty have been met with silence and neglect, leaving us yearning for the potential that remains unfulfilled. The game's current state is disheartening, and we cannot help but feel let down by the lack of meaningful updates and improvements. Since the merger with Broadsword, the communication from BioWare has been minimal at best, leaving us in the dark regarding the game's future and the development team's plans. Broadsword has been dead silent. As dedicated players, we deserve better transparency and a more open dialogue with the developers. Here are some specific points that highlight the concerning state of the game: 1. Content Stagnation: It's been far too long since we've seen substantial content updates. New storylines, planets, and operations have been scarce, causing many players to feel like they've exhausted all the game has to offer. 2. Lack of Endgame Focus: Endgame content is the lifeblood of any MMO, yet it appears to have taken a backseat. Gearing was substantially better in 6.0. The absence of challenging raids and dungeons is disheartening to long-time players who thrive on such content. 3. Technical Issues: The game still suffers from technical problems that have persisted for years. Frequent bugs (some years old), and performance issues hamper the overall experience. 4. Communication Breakdown: The lack of communication from the development team has left us feeling isolated and unimportant as players. A strong community relies on open communication and feedback, and we are not receiving that support. 5. Neglect of PvP: PvP players have been particularly disappointed by the lack of attention given to balancing and improving the PvP experience. A new warzone should be a priority. This has led to dwindling interest in this aspect of the game. 6. Declining Player Population: It's no secret that over time, the player population in SWTOR has been steadily declining. Many long-time players have left the game due to the lack of fresh content, technical issues, and a sense of neglect. As a result, the once vibrant and bustling community has grown quieter, leaving us with fewer players to interact with and enjoy the game alongside. If we take a look at https://steamcharts.com/app/1286830, we can see a clear downward trend in SWTOR's player count. This trend is a reflection of the challenges the game is facing and highlights the urgent need for significant improvements and a more player-centric approach from the developers. It's crucial for Bioware/Broadsword to acknowledge and address this issue promptly. Engaging and retaining players should be a top priority, as a strong and active community is the backbone of any successful MMO. The declining player population not only impacts the social aspect of the game but also affects the game's overall health and longevity. A thriving MMO relies on an active and engaged player base to keep the world alive and relevant. However, the shrinking numbers have created a self-perpetuating cycle, where some players leave due to the issues mentioned earlier, further contributing to the decline. The most disheartening aspect of all of this is how much potential SWTOR has. It boasts a rich and storied universe, engaging class storylines, and a passionate player base that has stood by it for years. The game's potential for growth and innovation is vast, and we had hoped to see it reach new heights with each update. As players, we invest our time, money, and emotions into SWTOR, and the neglect from the developers feels like a betrayal of that commitment. We want to see SWTOR thrive and continue to be a place where Star Wars fans can come together and create lasting memories. So, I implore Bioware/Broadsword to listen to our concerns and take them to heart. Engage with the community, address our grievances, and lay out a clear roadmap for the game's future. We understand that challenges exist, but with dedication and collaboration, we believe SWTOR can once again shine brightly. To my fellow players, let's continue to voice our concerns constructively and remind them that we are still here, passionate and hopeful for a brighter future for SWTOR. Together, we can make a difference and help the game reclaim its former glory. May the Force be with us all.

There are so many bugs in this game, some which have been around for years. If Bioware could just release an update that was focused soley on bugs fixes. No more meaningless UI updates, no more reinventing the wheel with gearing every update. There are a lot people on these forums, and others, that I know who will not play a game, especially an MMO if they think the devs are incompetent at fixing even the smallest of bugs. I don't know if it is incompetence, issues with the code/engine, or just lack of a dev team and money to accomplish this. I do know that if they released a massive bugfix update, many people would be happy and more people would return to the game, including myself. Competent devs = better game = more players. Make it happen Bioware.

Gear/mods were account wide and mods were insanely easy to farm.

I'm specifically talking about armor sets with set bonuses as well as amplifiers. There is something about completing a set that has the certain bonuses you want for your playstyle. On top of that, mods were basically thrown at you, and you could pick the best ones to min/max.

6.0 gearing was the best gear system that SWTOR has had. Obtaining a set that had set bonuses and modding it to your desire (min/maxxing) felt rewarding. I also liked the amplifier system where you could reroll stats for credits on your gear (good credit sink). Not sure why it was changed. Only thing I can think of was because people were spamming hammer station and maxxing out their toon fairly quickly. This could easily be fixed with less drop rates on mods from activities.

Could be a graphics driver issue; try reinstalling drivers. Maybe use DDU for a clean uninstall.

Same with me. 😩

Pretty pathetic that this isn't fixed yet.

Ashamed of what?
