Hey:) As the title suggests. I have a few toons at 70, haven’t played in five or so years. Is there anything I need to do other than subscribing to get to 75? If there are expansion purchase requirements where are they? Looked through the website and in game and didn’t see anything. Help would be appreciated:)

Love this guy:) Totally true

Howdy, As a returning player I'm finding it hard to find content on class guides for pvp, augs, etc... I searched youtube and reddit and although there are a few good guides on Reddit the amount of specs especially for tanks is non existent. Does anyone know a good website or youtube vids that explain stuff like mods, armoring ect?

Last night was pretty fun. I think I went 8 wins out of 10 matches on Pub side. There were not a lot of the tank/healer premades which was nice and I met a few hardcore pub cats that were super geared and played objectives. What's up tonight? Anyone planning on grouping up to smash some imp face?

Thanks for the video links etc... I dunno, I did all ya'll suggested and I even did the registry edits. I think it's either a memory leak in the game engine or you HAVE to have a godly processor (i have an i5 4th gen). It doesn't make sense that from the settings on Ultra to Very Low I only see a 5-10 fps diff in Wz's. It also doesn't make sense that I start the WZ around 150fps and within 2 minutes i'm down in the 30-50 range. In operations i never drop below 60 even in 8 man raids.... I dunno... it's really depressing, One of my Favorite games of all time and I've spent a LOT of time on it in the past 3 or so weeks getting a char to 70 etc..... I already spent $250 on a new GPU just to play this game. Dunno if it's worth dropping another $300 into a new processor on the "chance" I can actually function in PVP. I know this has been an issue since launch, it's one of the reasons I stopped playing 3 years ago. This is the 4th mid to high end machine I've tried to pvp on with the same issues. Sucks.

I5 4670 1050 Ti Windows 10 8 mb Everywhere outside of Wz's I get 120+ fps on ultra. In Wz's I start out at 120 FPS and by mid match I'm down to 30-50. Also, there is no diff if I'm at the lowest settings or on Ultra. I make sure nothing is running in the backround, and set the game priority to high. I just don't get it... it's unplayable.

Just wow... 15 matches... all loses.. watching toons run into imps 2v8 over and over and just dying.. no objective control.. no heals.. no dmg... was 100k+ over every pub... really really frusterating.. makes me want to delete my pub tunes and reroll imp.

I've been wrecking on my sage as tele and balance. I just go all defensive utilites and use force mend/cloud mind and kite while dotting or kite and burst. I like the spot sage and sorc dps is atm. Snipers and juggs are just overtuned and need to take a few nerfs.

I've been saying this since beta. When the **** are snipers going to be tuned down a bit? They have the most dps in game, the longest range, and some of the best defensive cooldowns. This class NEEDS to finally choose a side. Why are they not glass cannons? They are more like tanks with the highest dps in game.. Been broken for 5 years.. Comeon Bioware....

Howdy Swtor fans! I recently returned to the game after a 4 year break and I'm LOVING IT!!! So much fun omg!!! Second best pvp game ever!!! However I do have a few things I'd like to get off of my chest. From reading the forums and running WZ's and rated for the past 2 weeks I've noticed there seems to be an opinion that some classes are far more viable than others. According to opinions I've gathered from streamers and the opinions i've read here I've gathered that below are the only viable specs in pvp. Ops/Smug - Heals, Scrapper/Consealment Jugg - Tank Sorc - Heals (only in rated) Sniper/Gunslinger - Any other than dot spec Maurader - Burst spec Merc/Commando - all 3 specs Sin - Bust Spec That's 12 specs out of what 30? With only 1 viable tank option. However, I've been playing a lot of Sage dps, and Vanguard Tanking/Dps and it seems that they are just undertuned. Meaning that they feel weaker than other specs and don't do enough dmg or have the defensive cooldowns. - BUT - when looking at the rated leaderboards there are all kinds of different classes/specs. If these were the only classes viable, then why are some of the top #100 players playing these along with other classes? SO what to run? What to play to climb the ladder? What to play to smash/save face? ugggg!!!

Howdy!! I just got back into SWTOR after a few years break. It's my 2nd favorite pvp game ever! The reason I originally quit was because of the horrible fps problems that were happening for the first year or so. Wz's were basically unplayable. I recently bought a new computer and upgraded it's gpu but, I'm still having issues. My Comp Specs i5 4th gen Nvidia 1050 ti 6mb ram Not using a SSD. Main issue is this. Whenever i'm not in a WZ i never drop below 90 fps (on high settings). Whenever I get into a WZ within a few minutes my FPS goes from 171-200 down to 35-60 and stays between 35-60. This happens regardless if I have my settings on very low or on very high, I get the same result. Few things i've already done - made sure all drivers were up to date. Set priority up to high in the task manager. Make sure to turn everything but SWTOR off to ensure full GPU usage. With a 1050 ti I'm able to play games like Overwatch on high settings and never drop below 60fps. I can play wow in a 40 man raid on high settings and never drop below 60. Does anyone know a fix for this? Also, I know there are many threads about this. I haven't seen anything since 2015 about it and I know they changed the ability to change stuff in the swtor file and such.

Ultima was horribly unbalanced throughout the 13 years i played it. Speedhacking and totally overpowered templates spellweaving archers is a good example. I was top mage in the game for 2 year's and played and toured with a guild that netted over 1 million a year in ebay sales ect... wow pvp is so frusterating throughout the lvl's until you get to 90 and get full pvp gear (takes about 3 months if you grind 5-6 hours daily). I have recently gotten a 2300 mmr in 3's and had a 2200 in 5's. I also played a lot of ranked wz's and have maintained these rating's for years eq and diablo had horrible pvp because of dupes and other exploits, basically whoever had the latest hacks would dominate. Star wars on the other hand has viable and fun pvp from lvl 15-55 and even without grinding gear for 3 months you can compete at a decent level all the way through. Agreed arena's can be frusterating for some specs but, world pvp and wz's are still fun and balanced throughout. Basically there are not 1 second kills in Star wars which is nice. That is why I say it is pretty balanced.

have you ever played wow or any other mmo? this game is probally the most balanced i have ever played out of diablo,Ultima online, everquest, and wow. Go re subscribe to wow and pvp for a day and then say stwor is un balanced.

So last night me and my ****** guildies qued up for 4v4 ranked from 11pm-3am on POT5. WE lost every match to a total of 2 teams that qued against us... Yes.... 2 teams in 3 hours.. We have the lowest rating possible because none of us have actually been able to win a ranked 4v4 arena. The 2 teams we faced were with mudclot (possibly the best sorc in game) and another one against the second highest rated team in game. So I can only guess that either 3 teams total were actually queing..... Or the matchmaking system is totally riddled with bugs... I don't see how there could be any room for practice or even comm farming when you face the best in the game over and over and over for 3 hours.... This is not the first night we have done this and gotten similar results. I'm leaning towards the only 3 teams queing on a Friday night at primetime which is insane!

With the current meta of Pt's and other forms of aoe focused comps, how good are Merc Heals in arena's? I have a level 40 merc and so far koto missile is really op for aoe heals, it is just hard to counter quick burst damage. Does clutch healing get any better? Would ops be better to deal with fast burst dmg? I think i have faced 1 possibly 2 merc healers in arena's and both did really well. My guild is currently running 2 melee, 1 ranged,1 healer. I was wondering if anyone has had any success? If so what comps have worked/strats?
