Roll back the drivers. That has helped me in the past.
I'll give it a shot.

Well apparently menu issues with textures and shadow performance issues are being addressed and have been addressed on the 1.02 patch for the game. It's currently up and running on the beta test server. Oh and evidently the armors all use low resolution textures and this hasn't been addressed in any form and isn't adjustable via the settings in the menu. So the patch still doesn't address that problem.

So hopefully this will release in the near future.
I'm tired of my armor looking like the equivalent of a fake tuxedo shirt. It's rediculous, and I'm disappointed they havent addressed armor textures yet.
I'll give it a shot.
goddamn my weak willpower. I ordered TOR, installing now. [H] guild is on The Fatman, correct? Also Which side has lower numbers on that server

Yeah I enjoy it to. I've only played it a few times with my lvl 20 sorcerer but I've always come out in the top spots for kills and damage. Might be because I just stand on the top and rain lightning down on whoever is near![]()
I've also been one of the few sorcerers in the matches I've played. Never seen one on my team sometimes run into one on the other team but pretty rare.
thats odd because sorcs are very common on my server.
still, at such a low resolution and low settings being run by a hd6950. This should be a non issue
Yeah I'm seeing less and less sorcs. I played a few rounds last night and maybe 3-4 sorcs per game. It seems to have leveled off a lot despite all the QQ.
they need to open server transfers or something.. my server is an absolute ghost town. I haven't been on a planet yet that had more than 5 people other than coruscant or the republic fleet (which maxes out at like 25).
all the servers are light on the republic side of things
"light" -- I expect ~20 people
"solo" is what I have right now. I played through Quesh with not another person on it. Hoth had 1 other person the entire time. :|
sucks i regularly see 35-45 people on tatooine in the wee hours of the morning. You are ahead of the level curve probably though?
So just a little rant.
Fuck huttball. Two games in a row getting stuck with lvl 50s on the opposing team that have full PVP gear and literally can't be killed by my team (two guys in this last match were 60-0). Meanwhile my team goes through about 15 people, all under level 40 and no jedis at all. That makes huttball impossible to win basically. And even harder to enjoy. I'll be dodging huttball everytime it comes up until they fix SI and IA or add level and valor brackets.
TLDR: fuck huttball
My server is heavy populated, even with goodies, (my alt trooper on good side), right now there are four instances of Taris at level 20 ish. The evil side is even more populated, but we typically have a five minute queue at prime time.
ps.. Joyu btw...

I've not tried PvP at all. Here is a question? Can you use PvP gear in the regular game if you have ever been or consistently have PvP enabled? On a PVE server? Or do you have to maintain alternate load outs?
Pvp gear seems to just be normal items bought with pvp money. Use it anywhere.
what a horribly stale game. so much dialogue too in an mmo just doesn't sit well with me at all. i wish i could either sell it or get my money back![]()
I like the dialogue. It's not a rush to 50 game by any means though. And the intensive story lines that are played out through the intensive dialogue are what make the game "different" for me.
I actually want to know what happens next if I make this choice. And I like the fact that it's acted out in front of me when I make that decision. I've raced to 50, 85, 60, 75, etc so many times in MMO's to get to the fun part. The way it is in SWTOR I get to take a back seat and watch events play out according to my input.
But I can certainly understand someone getting sick of watching cutscenes. Sorry you don't like it. I wish EA / Bioware had done more open weekends like Rift did so that people could see exactly what they are purchasing well in advance. That would have been the best course of action in my opinion.
The problem is that they are utterly unnecessary for the sidequests that don't ling together with anything else in any meaningful way. Basically, if I don't have to enter a phase to talk to the quest giver, I don't listen to anything they say and just mash my spacebar. Even when I'm doing semi-interesting story quests I tend to read the subtitles faster than they speak the dialogue then just skip to the next part.

StephenReid said:Our Terms of Service team recently took action against some accounts playing Star Wars: The Old Republic, and we wanted to give you some insight into what happened and why.
First, action was taken against a number of accounts for what's commonly known as 'gold farming' - or in our case, credit farming. These accounts were found to be exploiting the game in a variety of ways to maximize their credits in order to sell them to other players. Our Terms of Service team took action against these accounts and removed them permanently from the game.
Second, a smaller number of accounts were warned or temporarily suspended for exploiting loot containers on Ilum. To be completely clear, while players may choose to travel to Ilum earlier than the recommended level (40+) and may loot containers if they can get to them, in the cases of those customers that were warned or temporarily suspended, they were systematically and repeatedly looting containers in very high numbers resulting in the game economy becoming unbalanced.
None of these accounts were banned for their actions and no accounts have been banned for travelling to Ilum while still relatively low level. By comparison, the number of accounts that were warned or temporarily suspended was considerably lower than the number of accounts banned for 'credit farming'.
It's important to remember that our Terms of Service team is extremely careful and thorough in their investigation of any potential exploit or unusual activity in-game. Working closely with the development team and using extensive metrics based on player activity, they are able to determine what is normal player activity, what is unusual and what is exploiting. Our goal is always to ensure a fair game experience for all players while also protecting the rights of individuals, and if people are disrupting the play experience for others action will be taken.
While we will not discuss the details of any individual action, whenever we take action against an account we believe they have clearly broken our Terms of Service. Any action taken against an account can be appealed and in some cases actions have been rescinded.
While we understand people's concern about actions taken against accounts, please remember the Terms of Service team exists to help ensure a balanced and fair game experience for all. When you see reports of actions taken against someone's account, remember they are choosing to tell their version of the story - and there are two sides to every story.
In summary, our Terms of Service team took action against a number of accounts that were 'credit farming' to remove them permanently from the game. They also warned and temporarily suspended - but did not ban - a smaller number of accounts for activities on Ilum that were decided to be game exploits.
Some adjustments will be made to Ilum in the near future to discourage future exploits. However, the planet is still open to anyone who wishes to travel there.
The goal of the Star Wars: The Old Republic team is to maintain a service for our customers that is fun to play and equitable for everyone. Critical to this goal is making sure that gameplay is fair and reasonable and we are constantly on the lookout for anything that would prove to be a detriment to your gameplay experiences.
Thanks for reading, and we hope this gave you some insights.
