I'm suddenly having major pop in issues with textures and lighting effects in this game and I don't know how to fix it. I have everything maxed out and I even reinstalled the entire game to try and fix it, but nothing is working. For example, when I walk into the hanger, the lights load in, the monitors hanging on walls load in, the characters load in, the objects they are holding load in. If I step back a few feet, all of those things disappear, and if I step forward again a few feet they all come back. I JUST paid another month's subscription for this game and this weird problem isn't something I can just ignore. Objects of popping in less than ten feet away from me and all of it is making my frame rate very jittery. Does anyone have a fix for this? I just wasted money if I can't figure out the problem.

I pretty much read that entire thing as "I'm going to just assume you're not being lazy and stupid like you seem to be." Fantastic response. Thank you!

Okay I've googled it like crazy and can't find anything. What mods do I focus on for Jaesa? The best thing I've been able to find is "focus on willpower" but it's not that simple. That's like telling someone asking how to gear their Marauder to focus on strength. I'm using Jaesa as a DPS for my tank. I'd really appreciate it if someone can tell me what mods I should focus on.

By that time in the game you don't have enough comms to gear both you and your companion, just one of you. It's possible to keep both geared after Taris, which I was able to keep up with using premium armor from the GTN. As I mentioned above, that's not possible because I can't find any armor for my class.

I've run into a problem with my Gunslinger. On the other characters I've played, I kept myself geared in greens while updating my companion's mods until I had enough to keep us both modded up every seven levels or so. It's a strategy that worked without problems. That is until I went to the GTN and discovered that 99% of the armor there is made for Jedi. I can't find anything for my Gunslinger to wear. i leveled up until it was time to leave Coruscant, and when I checked it again there was still nothing I could use. I'm still mostly using the armor I got from Ord, and that's no longer sufficient. How are you guys keeping yourself geared during the early levels? As it stands right now I'm having to use level 10-12 armor for Taris, and that's not a good idea.

I'm almost at the end of my Inq playthrough and I'm planning ahead for my next character. I was wondering if anyone ever played through the game with a Gunslinger and HK companion. I play most of my classes fairly safe. With DPS classes I have Treek as a healer, with long range classes like my Inq I have Treek as a tank to bundle up enemies for my AOE attacks. She's best at both roles so why not? I want to mix things up for my next choice and just go for straight offensive DPS, but I also don't want to waste my time, so has anyone tried playing the game as a Gunslinger and HK companion? And if you think it's not a good idea, do you have a reason for it? I've still got time before I start my Gunslinger, but if I'm going to lay down the cartel coins I need to be sure.

Thanks!

Kind of annoying I had to subscribe just to ask a question, but oh well. I have some questions about the 12xp event going on. I looked up some stuff and googled, but almost all of it leads to topics and discussions that started and ended before the event even began. I resubscribed in order to play through all of the stories again as a solo player. So if someone can answer these questions I'd appreciate it. Now that we're a couple months into the event, people should have a greater grasp of it. I can't play right away so it's faster to just ask. 1) The website says you get more comms. Is this only for the main story missions? And how many? I kept getting conflicting information on that. 2) How long does it usually take to get from 1-55 with the event on? 3) Did you have any problems keeping yourself geared? I have more than enough adaptive gear, I'm wondering about mods. 4) How many levels should you wait between upgrades? I heard so many different opinions on this I don't know which is true. Without the event I do it every other planet, but that's combined with a lot of dailies. 5) Do you ever get so overleveled that enemies barely do any damage to you? I wouldn't mind going through this game like a demi-god destroying everything in my path. Seems perfect for Inquisitor story line. 6) I heard somewhere that XP boosts are also effected by this. Is that true, and if it is how much? That seems a bit overkill. And that's it. Thanks for whatever information you can give.

So far the impression I've got is that I should buy a hypercrate and then put it on the GTN for a lot of credits and get most of the legacy unlocks including armor, color crystals, and weapons I find useful.

Thanks for explaining that, I wasn't quite sure what he was saying in the first place.

Well there is a difference. Buying those things is like gambling. You can purchase a hypercrate of them and not get the item you're looking for. I'm trying to determine what I should purchase that would be the most useful to me without gambling with my money.

I was thinking about getting a six month subscription as well. People actually pay that much for those money sinks?

I'm thinking about spending a hefty amount of money on cartel coins. Like 14k in coins. That's $100 as long as you buy it from Amazon. I want to use that many coins intelligently and still have some left over, so no packs, just account wide unlocks and such. I was just curious what you guys consider to be important unlocks if you had the coins in order to do it? I have a pretty good idea of that, but if I'm going to spend this much money I want someone else's opinion. I was thinking inventory unlocks, all ship upgrades (like GTN and such) storage upgrade, and some Collection unlocks. What else would you guys suggest? I've already looked at some guides but wow are they outdated.

It's like everyone skipped the majority topic of my original post that discusses it's impact on the in game economy. And I never once said that all long term players have a problem with it. I made sure to use words like "a lot" for the very reason that someone would come along and say what you just said.

I should have been more specific. It's gear dependent for group content.
