I believe you can go to Start>Run and type: "%APPDATA%" OR: C:\Documents and Settings\{user}\Application Data

God I hope so.

Day 2 Bump

That it is. We don't want Bioware forgetting though

I completely agree. I believe all social gear should automatically become the highest tier available for the class it is being used on.

I want one so bad.

Below is quoted material from Emmanuel Lusinchi. _______________________________________________ The current situation with end game gear and item modifications isn’t final and, in fact, many community members like yourself have correctly guessed at what our plans to correct the current design are. Since this is a fairly important issue to many players, let me disclose more details about what is currently in the work regarding purple items and mods: - All partially moddable purple items will be made fully moddable again, allowing the removal of the armoring, hilt and barrel. - The set bonus of end gear purples (PVP and PVE) will be transferable to custom items. - Some item modifications will be restricted to a certain item type. For example, some item modifications will only fit on helmets, while other will only fit on chests, etc. As usual, the caveats about unfinished work apply, but this should give you and the community a very good idea of our intentions. We are serious about making custom gear an entirely valid alternative to end game gear and we support the players’ ability to customize their appearance all the way to (and including) end game.

I this was confirmed and going to be added? Where orange gear would suffer no drawbacks to any other?

This is a guide on changing your view distance to increase performance. I do not claim to be the originating discoverer of this FPS fix. With a high-end gaming machine, I was at my wit's end trying to find a solution when I discovered this. This has doubled my FPS in Fleet, Warzones, and PVE Environments. For Windows 7 Start Computer Local Disk (C:) [Or wherever your operating system is installed] Users Your Username AppData (For this to be visible, you will need to hit "alt", which will bring down your file menu. Select Tools>Folder Options>View>Show hidden files,folders or drives. Apply>OK Local SWTOR swtor settings client_settings ______________________________________________________ What we are going to do here is adjust your view distance. Before adding/editing data, I would recommend saving a clean copy of client_settings somewhere on your computer just in case you needed to switch back. Above "PlantDensity" you will need to add "FarClipScale = " The higher the number you enter, the farther you will be able to see, but the lower your FPS will be, and vice versa. Here are a few examples of variables that are known/tested to work accordingly. FarClipScale = 0.5371195 FarClipScale = 0.3371195 (Personal Recommendation) FarClipScale = 0.1371195 After your changes have been made, and FarClipScale has been added, you will need to save the file and close it BUT you aren't done yet. You will need to right click on the file (client_settings) and go to Properties>Check Read Only>Apply>OK. To edit the file in the future, you will need to un-check read-only in properties. If you do not do this step, then any changes made to this file will be set back to default and not apply in-game. ______________________________________________________ In the client_settings file you can also adjust things such as Plant Density (which to my understanding is how much grass or leaves is in a given area/square, bloom, shadows, anti-aliasing, etc. If any information in this guide is wrong, I will do my best to update it as needed. This fix has worked wonders for me, and I couldn't be happier.

Has this become something that people (most anyway) are just accepting and continuing to play? Is this something that will ever be fixed in an update, or graphical options given to alleviate this issue? Thoughts?

This is true---^

You are the one that looks ridiculous. They should be using all 100% of their development team to fix the current issues with this game. There is no "We have enough to do both". These bugs are not getting fixed and players are leaving every day. ALL devs need to be working on fixes. Think before you speak.

Man, if 1.1 doesn't fix FPS issues as well as Warzone bracketing and LFD tool/features, this game is going to lose nearly everyone.

Too bad you can never get a group because there is no LFD tool.

1. There is _NOTHING_ social about: "/1 Heals/Tank/DPS LFG/LFM Random Flashpoint" 2. Sitting in Fleet, spamming the above every 30 seconds for 2 hours is probably the least fun thing you can do in this game. People don't give a crap who is the tank/healer/dps as long as they can get a group together. As long as players meet the recommended level requirements and are suited to fill their role, the Flashpoint begins immediately, and nobody gives much thought to any social interaction besides completing the Flashpoint. 3. LFD Tools have not ruined any MMO, and will never ruin any MMO. All this does is make time spent on the game more enjoyable. There is nothing enjoyable about spamming general chat, and there is nothing social about it. 4. The same logic applies to Warzones, where you are automatically placed into a group, as well as crafting, where companions go and do the work for you. These have been implemented into the game to save time and trouble for the end-user. 5. The LFD Tool DOES NOT need to insta-teleport us to the Flashpoint location. 6. The LFD Tool DOES NOT need to be cross-server. 7. The LFD Tool will however allow us to do homework, read forums, watch TV, while we patiently wait to be placed in a group, without having to keep staring at general chat for an absurd amount of time. I cannot relate to anyone who says this is not a much needed feature. It takes away nothing, and gives a lot to the game. Disclaimer: This is all my personal opinion. Thanks for reading. Note: I was 100% in support for not having an LFD tool at first, until I experienced what finding groups was like without it.
