Loadsamunny Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) With the 5FPS I get in Warzones and the fact that almost every Sin, Marauder, Vengeance Jugg and Op likes to zigzag around me like an idiot, the only real way I can fight them without it screwing up my rotation or my ability to hit them is to put my back against a wall or into a corner, so they can't get behind me and prevent me from LoSing them. I can usually only do this when I'm guarding a cap of some sort, but it works. I'm getting a lot of hate in warzones from this. People are actually stopping and typing hateful messages because I'm using a wall to my advantage. Is this really such a dirty tactic against zigzaggers that it warrants hate?

Loadsamunny Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Strafing is OP It is for someone like me, being a clicker and having my frame rate drop to a slideshow in Warzones. I've seen it get as bad as 3FPS sometimes. You'd think my card (Radeon HD 5570) would be able to handle a game like this with its dated graphics.

How do you get any sort of enjoyment out of the game? Also, that Radeon card is atrocious. You need to upgrade it. Being a clicker is also a disadvantage, and people "ziggzagging around you like idiots" are in many cases doing this to **** clickers in general over, too. I move a lot because I've always done that, but I can easily tell when someone is a clicker wh ocan't follow me, so it gets even easier.

Loadsamunny Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 5570 was a dated card when it was released... But I can run games like Dead Space 2/3, Mass Effect 2/3, even Witcher 2 on maximum settings with no problems. Why is this game on the opposite end of the performance spectrum with far weaker graphics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loadsamunny Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 No, you can't... not with that card. Yeah, I can. But those games are well optimized. ToR isn't, so maybe that's what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theUndead Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yeah, I can. But those games are well optimized. ToR isn't, so maybe that's what it is. No actually you can't. I have a Raedon HD 7470 and it barely runs any of my games in medium or low settings. So I don't know what you talking about, when you say you can those games at max.

Tellenn Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Yeah I have a 270 and it plays all those games at max no problem. The swtor engine is pants. Its not just the graphics card if you dont have a good processor and memory its really going to struggle. I get below 15 in makeb arena when it never gets that low even in cry engine games at max.

Fidelicatessen Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Using a wall is a way of using terrain to tactical advantage. If they complain about you doing that, then they are bads. If they find a way to kill you anyway without complaining, they are goods. How do you play WZs with 3-5 FPS anyway and remain competitive? I realize this is easier said than done, but I'd recommend upgrading your video card and learning keybinds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a clicker, there's a very big limit to how competitve he can ever become Also, having 3-5 fps... There's no chance in hell. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Is this really such a dirty tactic against zigzaggers that it warrants hate? No, that is being strategical and a very valid tactic. As long as you are not deliberately trying to exploit FAULTS in the geometry, using ordinary geometry to your advantage just shows that you know how to use the terrain. Edit: Being able to use terrain to your advantage is the sign of a good PVP'er Edited October 29, 2014 by vennian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armadyil Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I'm not into computers or stuff, but it's just weird; my laptop could run TOR allright, but had problems with Minecraft (lowest settings)... Tips for low fps; ranged players have less problems with facing target, and healers and gunslingers/snipers don't even need to face their targets, so rolling one of them would probably help.

I'd suggest learning to use keybinds, unbinding your S key and binding strafe left/right to A & D. If you are handicapped by your playstyle, change it, otherwise you are not "doing your best" as you say unless of course there is a legitimate reason why you cannot keybind (usually medical).

Technohic Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 You'd be amazed how many times I'very held a door in VS from a stealth onslaught on my slinger by backing in a corner. Of course it has nothing to do with being able to keep facing them on slinger and it's even better when Joesixxpack is there to come drop some heals on me when it gets heavy.

Raansu Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 1.) Its time to upgrade your PC.....Those specs are ancient. 2.) Learn to keybind. It makes a massive difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
