Raithe Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I seem to be bouncing between having a nice solid chunk of gaming one day, then a couple of days without, then back again. I haven't done any end-game content as such, my SI has plugged away at some left over missions on Corellia and as I said, tried out the pvp Warzones on monday. Need to get around to poking at some of the Operations and hardmode flashpoints... and take a gander at Illum at some point.. My smuggler has hit 42 and is on his way to Hoth.. and my Jedi Knight and Bounty Hunter are still on their prologues.. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Spider Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The flashpoints are a lot of fun. Operations even more so, but probably harder to get into. I have a guild of friends, so we have organized raids once or twice each week and we do hardmode flashpoints basically every night (due to the daily quest). I recommend you do the Ilum main quest before you do the Battle for Ilum and False Emperor flashpoints. They will make more sense that way (I didn't and was a bit confused at what was happening).

Malcador Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I've still got at least a month or two, I hit 37 today but my pace has slowed considerably. Of course I really don't want to hit it too soon either. Damn, you're a slowpoke Why has elegance found so little following?

Gfted1 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 That is pretty slow. What do you do Hurl, like one quest and then call it a day? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirottu Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Got my new graphics card, but can't play because the game apparently thinks it is on a new computer and now it must ask security questions I'm sure I have never set. Meh. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 For every quest I do in game, I have real world ones that need finishing too, like changing diapers, rescuing kids trapped under furniture, and preparing meals. So while I may be logged in for an hour or two a day, I really only am able to give it a fraction of my attention. So yeah, if I finish a quest a day, I'm feeling pretty good To be honest this is the fastest I've ever leveled in an MMO. But I think that has more to do with TOR having a very fast curve compared to most MMO's on initial release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. How did you not set your questions? It asks me my security questions all the time, but I log in from a few different computers. If it is just one question you can't remember, resetting the password will bring up a new one. Otherwise you need to contact customer support.

Hurlshort Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Real World sure is a terrible grind Sometimes, but you can't beat the story.

kirottu Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Got my new graphics card, but can't play because the game apparently thinks it is on a new computer and now it must ask security questions I'm sure I have never set. Meh. How did you not set your questions? It asks me my security questions all the time, but I log in from a few different computers. If it is just one question you can't remember, resetting the password will bring up a new one. Otherwise you need to contact customer support. I set up three questions and the one it is asking isn't one of them. Now I have to call international number to resolve this issue, because apparently this is more secure than doing it via e-mail... But my e-mail is password protected and it is the same e-mail I used to create swotor account. I just don't get it. Edit: Nevermind, I thought if I have to call them I might just get some real problem going on and decided to try different answers until I get locked out. Sixth attempt got me through. Apparently I had set up that question. Edited February 21, 2012 by kirottu This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

Calax Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I think from about 35 on they have a rediculous increase in the amount of XP required for you to jump to the next level and it ends up suffering that "doldrums" issue that is so common in games that have a distinctive point they were supposed to end (City of Heroes was ending at 40 for about 3 months, so the 30s were HORRIBLE to level through... same with 55-60 in WoW etc).

kirottu Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 So upgrading graphics card had no impact on warzone performance. When effects start flying around it's still 10-25 fps, mostly 15. It's a damn shame. I always wanted to be a jedi. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hm, I have to admit, I haven't had any serious issues with my first entry into warzones this week. I had one warzone that got a bit glitchy, but all the others have been pretty smooth. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

kirottu Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 TheJestersHat: What is BioWare planning to do about performance issues that people get with Warzone, open world PVP, and general FPS issues? Damion Schubert: We have an internal strike team that is fully devoted to ensuring that the game runs better and faster, especially on low end machines, and we consider this team's work to be a crucial internal initiative. You should see evidence of this work as soon as Patch 1.1.5, when we will be introducing a new 'very low' setting to shader quality, which should drastically increase the number of mid-to-low machines the game can run well on, especially in Warzones and Operations.

kirottu Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 That is a picture of swtor with very low shaders. This feature is coming in the next patch. This is what my game looks like. I have textures and shaders on high, shadows and bloom off, vsync on and through ini settings AA 2 and AF 4. With those settings I get steady 60 fps while questing and under 20 fps while in warzones. Lowering these settings does nothing to improve warzone performance. It's not my graphics card that is the problem here. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

Guest Slinky Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 How much you have memory? Seems to me TOR likes that more than anything. And do you also get that low FPS in fleet when lots of people are around? If not, then the games engine just plain suck I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 See, I haven't had any issues like that. The only real thing that crops up for me is exiting TOR. It takes a few minutes, and even then my pc is acting like a dead cow with sprained ankles for about another 5 minutes before things are running smoothly or quickly. The longer I've been playing TOR at any stretch, the longer it takes to settle out when I quit the game... I do get the feel of a memory leak or some such in there...

Raithe Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Heh, my sister is finally getting around to installing the copy of TOR I got her for christmas. I mean, she loved Kotor I & II, so I thought give her a free month to play around and see how she likes it. Of course, now she's doing the whole "if I don't like this I've wasted an hour of my life installing this and jumping through all the hoops." - that and using the phone to call me from upstairs and quiz me on various matters about it as she's getting it ready to play...
