ImmortalLowlife Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 So my 12yr old daughter is going to the 7th grade this year. She already knows she wants to take AP science. (My lil brainiac ) So I sent her my laptop that I had been playing swtor on, & ordered myself a computer that can best be described as a "liquid cooled beast!" Unfortunately i miss timed it & haven't been able to play swtor for almost a week. It won't be here till Saturday.... drops mic & continues playing saints row 2 on the Xbox360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayseven Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I had to take a 5 day break for some surgery last week. It sucked seeing the computer not 5 feet away but not being able to sit in the chair for very long to play it. Oh, and the pain meds...those would have made it hard too...

Grayseven Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 There, I fixed it for you. Heh, unfortunately the pain meds made me sleepy, blurred my vision, and gave me that creepy itchy skin-crawly feeling...hard to concentrate at that point so I surrendered to sleep.

Welcome to Memphis, TN.....5th most dangerous city in the United States. "Orange Mound vet" You're correct...I don't know your situation. However, being away for a few days, even weeks, shouldn't cause you any anxiety. It's ok to be excited/anxious about playing again...just don't let it ever become more than a game. And...lock your doors...and windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear, I'm NOT actually going thru "sitting in a corner shaking ex crackhead" withdrawals.... it's a figure of speech. Anxiety.....no.....anticipation on playing swtor on MAX graphics settings with bloom & everything turned on after playing for nearly a year on "extra very low & still gets laggy" settings.....OH YEA!!!

Joesixxpack Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) It is if you live in a neighborhood where it's more dangerous to be outside than inside. Welcome to Memphis, TN.....5th most dangerous city in the United States. "Orange Mound vet" I'm disappointed every time I go there that the good BBQ places are out of town. Also that I can't bring an armored car with me in the city. Sounds like you'll have a bad *** battlestation when you're up and running though. Mine's only partially liquid cooled so will relinquish The Deathstar comp. name if you choose it. Edited August 1, 2013 by Joesixxpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but I've always believed "get what u pay for" & since I got a great deal, I'll spend a lil extra to get the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I upgraded my PC after about 7 months of playing SWTOR on low everything. You will be pleased OP. Not too long until Saturday. Cheers, BadOrb.

The monitor is 3800 alone and it runs 4 Titans in SLI...which I can't imagine actually needing unless you feel that your best gaming experience only comes at 140 FPS...

But it does give a nice idea of "top end" when money is no object. Sadly, money always seems to be an object which is why I end up with those "price-break" systems which have done just fine but aren't as smexy...

Ansalem Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 gonna be hillarious when this guy goes to play swtor on his shiny new optimal setup and realizes that the game runs like crap even on nice rigs. Im sure he will experience fps pickup unless he does massive world pvp or 16m raiding with a ton of aoe. Probably going to make the issues with combat more noticeable though.

Nope, got it on MAX graphic settings & hooked into a 50" Sony flatscreen with a monster hdmi cable, & except for a slight hiccup on fleet which only last about 6-10 seconds after I arrive, it runs super smooth.... and I'm a solo player on a PvE server who doesn't care about raiding, NiM, HM, PvP or any of that. Lol I've even gotten to the point where I solo FP's after I over lvl em by 10lvls or so. So u keep laughing, I'm grinning like tha joker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
