Jinook_Phi Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) I liked the storyline of Fallen a fair amount minus one chapter. Hated all the "in between" chapters that really were not great after Fallen. And tonight, I played 3 chapters of the latest installment. ET. And I like the storyline, cutscenes dramatically MORE than I liked Fallen, and I really liked fallen (esp the HK humor and the personalites of the companions). This storytelling goes deep, has some emotional depth to it. And then the bugs kick in. For a game that is five years in, it blows my mind that this many bugs still exist. I have a decent mid-range rig, nothing awesome and nothing weak. 2GB graphics card, only 6 months old, 10GB of ram, all recent drivers. And yet the amount of bugs blows my mind. Chapter one through the walker, was entirely bugged. Chapter 2 had some minor bugs, but at least was mostly playable. Chapter 3, in between the two so far. I had to log out 3x due to getting stuck with the /stuck command not working. On and on I could go. Then comes my first few GC packs. Nothing I would ever use AND I cant sell any decent loot I get, cause of the TOR "bound to legacy so we can keep you addicted to the Cartel Con" model. Sale! Sale! Sale! Sigh. Super frustrating. It takes too much work just to have fun. I have a job, this should not feel like my job! LOL The storytelling has some incredible potential, HUGE potential, but then the reality of the game itself hits and yep, 5 steps forward, 10 steps back. I just dont get it. I dont get how they could invest so many resources on good storytelling, which keeps get better (once a year), and then throw everything else out the window. Its like having this GORGEOUS AMAZING restaurant, the place looks incredible, but the only item on the menu is Bantha dung stew. The stories, no matter how epic, are not enough. And enough with the sale! Sale! Sale! Its a game, not Walmart. Stop trying to CONSTANTLY sell us stuff! Seriously, you're a game company, focus on that not the latest blue light special on the Cartel Con. So much potential here, stop throwing it away.

ALaggyGrunt Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 If you have 5 strongholds, try turning one off. It might help with the stuttering. No, that's not a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinook_Phi Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 I only have 3 and only one of them has much in it, 50% full. The other two have nada. Finished Chp 3 and had to logout several times for hatches to appear, the power coil thingys. Really like the storyline but the amount of bugs are frustrating. I actually got a chance to fight in most cases, only a couple glitch one shot kill (me being able to) moments in Chp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
americanaussie Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 What are you getting stuck on? I won't deny it. There are bugs but I didn't have those issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinook_Phi Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 As I noted, Chapter One was almost 80% bugged until the walkers. It was identical to the bug TOR denied forever then finally admitted at launch, where some people were one shotting the Emperor. So that was CHP ONE. And this is a different computer with a clean install! Its really bad, totally kills gameplay. Chapter 2 and 3, thats all Ive done so far, those two were like 30% bugged, so far less than Chp1. The big issue with those is clicking on something and getting stuck, that kind of floating look. I put in /stuck but even if it pops me out, whatever quest I was on, any clickable requirements (the items you need to click to get into the SIth facility or the power cells with Jette (I really like her), all that goes bye bye unless I logout and log back in. None of these issues appear anywhere else. Sometimes, the fortress will have a tiny bit of delay, of stuttering. But rare. Which is not to say there are not a ton of other little bugs that constantly appear, but they don't mess up the game experience like this. The one thing that is common to doing Fortress runs and he recent chapters is companion AI is all jacked. Sometimes they rarely keep up and sometimes they just focus on heals, other times, they jump out and fight, ignoring healing me. And sadly, my level 15 influence companions are doing better than my level 36 infl Kira, mainly because they stay with me, where Kira is not consistent in her heals. When she is, Im a machine. I have my computer on a LAN line, about 230MBPS. My graphics card is about six months old, 2GB NVidia card. I got 10 GB of RAM on an I7. And I have a Razer app that shuts everything down other than whats needed for the game, so nothing in the background causing issues. I even dropped the settings down to medium and low, depending up which element. And I defrag'd the game and the drive- nada. And as I also noted, I only have one decked out SH, 50% complete. Put a ton of work into it, looks great. Check out Gritz Reevo's place if you're on Harbinger. But the other two SH's I have, dont have anything in them.
