Pfft... pong... I've been playing Heretic!

To be more specific, its the speed of the hard drive. Slow/Old/Laptop hard drives will load textures considerably slower than SSD/SATA3 hard drives will. If your computer is taking a minute+ to load Corellia, you have a problem, or a slow disk.

There are several planets that have a large amount of textures to load. The time it takes to load these textures into memory is totally based upon the speed of your computer. So the problem is actually you.... http://www.newegg.com

If you know how to burn an ISO, I would run a few passes with memtest86. Its free. http://www.memtest86.com/ Boot your computer to that iso, and let it run. If it pops errors, then you have a problem...

Thanks for the information. Linuxx

Based upon the ops leader's selection? Thanks for the reply, Linuxx

Sorry if this is a stupid question... I am about to run my guild through EV tonight, and I have no clue how to select the different modes. Is it based upon a quest? How do I verify that we are attempting Normal Mode? Thanks, Linuxx

All data sent from the servers to your client is encrypted, and based upon your session with the server. You would need an exposed API (Web Service/etc) to access such information, and that just doesn't exist. There is no way to "sniff" the traffic to get server information. Linuxx

I like it when the friends list is account based. Its not like people can "see" your "hidden" characters if you decide to make a hidden alt. The buddy list just lets you see characters that *you* know about. I played SWG and hated the buddy list system. I also played LOTRO and loved it there (linked to the account).

Lets remove the queues so everyone can rage quit over server lag. After all we all want a failed launch.... sarcasm.quit(); Linuxx

I paid for release date shipping, and mine says the 16th. It most likely depends on the shipping method you selected. Linuxx

I cant seem to find it on the iPad as well. Linuxx

And the fact that your FUD skills are failing you. Linuxx
