You are right, and I accept that is a common defense tactic used by cheaters/deniers to derail, hijack or otherwise troll people/threads. I apologizing for going on and on and not acknowledging the gist of your post earlier, but I agree with what you are saying. I googled "onslaught swtor" and "gingers swtor" one results talks about guild names, player names, and times, the other... Well lets just say there is nothing positive out of it. In a prior post I have, I have searched and within 5 minutes found multiple exploits and hacks, the only problem is from most of those comments from users using said unethical tools. No one was permanently banned for using them... So I agree that BW should adopt a different policy and not just hand out temporary bans. This last part isn't directed at you, but at anyone accusing. In the end change your perspective and look through the accused eyes. If the OP’s video post was about you, wouldn't you want more evidence to prove that you were cheating/exploiting/hacking? Or should one 3 min video be enough proof to have you banned and condemned by the community? Both sides the accusers and defenders should take a step back and respect each others opinions, however I highly doubt that will happen.

I never claimed the PC was crap I claimed that he cannot FRAPS (or equivalent) and provide smooth gameplay experience. If you want a more measurable amount of data lets throw this out here. I will use 30 FPS in a 5 second window. (General tv/video/movies are 29. something so rounded up to 30 is easy) now with no measure FPS from the OP this is at best hypothetical. If its a constant 30 fps across 5 seconds that is 150 frames (Our baseline) if its a constant 5 fps across 5 seconds that is 25 frames (Worse case scenario) total of 16% of visual information being received. As a mixture 5 measurements of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 fps across 5 sends is 75 frames. total of 50% of visual information being received. So during these periods of low FPS it is very possible to visually miss out on whats going on around you in SWTOR. Watching his video it was hard to tell if that was a teleport or sorc dying, since his body was still engulfed in flame and the OP was already on the move to his next target. Not all but other people that were killed in his video also only left a body on the ground for a second or less. As for the grapple bug, its existed to me on my PT since the game started, and in worse cases when trying to pull people to me in hutt ball it would position them on the level above me. Or flat out not work and leave me with my grapple on cool down. Now doing some "homework" i did go out and look for SWTOR exploits, bots, whatever. Without throwing a fake statistical number, I saw that BW really only handed out temporary bans to people that were caught cheating in game. From low as 8 hours to as high as 72 hours, some of them repeat offenders. Now that is based off their post and if this exploit still works, if that is true and the case, then I can agree with you and others, that BW is not being strict enough with people who cheat. Actually I read the description, I also took time to read comments and his post to those comments. In general it doesn't seem the OP knows a lot or is quick to judge. One more to boot. Stuff like this, isn't a L2p issue to me, it seems more on the users end that he is experiencing latency issues or something else. But blames hackers for his problems.

I don't know what point I just proved, but if you found my post inflammatory... Well you might want to look that word up or just not get so angry over small things. if anything the last line of my post may be seen that way, but don't over exaggerate, it wasn't the entire post. I am just returning shots to you since you posted this below. Either way, some people like I, have offered some ideas on what to try to resolve the issue for the OP. But it doesn't look like he has tried anything and got back with us, just joined the witch hunt for hackers. That's why my stance changed since his video doesn't prove anything. This name rings a bell, if I am correct its the only video I've seen posted that shown a guy exploiting via speed hack. Sorc or Assassin instant capping in hutt ball over and over?

What proof was offered? The video posted by the OP shows several things, that his computer is not capable of frapsing (or equivalent), and gaming at the same time. There was no smooth FPS there, I would say that some of the "exploits" happened when he was pulling 3-5 FPS in the war zone. Since were generalizing now, you seem to be in the camp of "HACKS/EXPLOITS" before understanding game mechanics. When 3 maras chain predition (or whatever its called) boosting their team across the map in NC capping your closet node, the thing to do is rage quit, come to the pvp forum and complain about people cheating. Either way its a good thing people like you are not sitting on BW support team tossing out bans at everyone who is "cheating".

Sad to see its not getting through to you. But this is not a Lag Switch issue and is most likely an issue on your end through some unique configuration of hardware/software and settings. Advice was offered on what you can try to do to fix it, however its still the "ITS GOTTA BE AN EXPLOIT OR LAG SWTICH". My i5 2500k, 16 GB Ram, 6950 2GB runs this just fine in windows 7, 8, 8.1, while encoding, transcoding, ripping DVD's & Blue Rays. Again high settings at 1440P resolution. However do us a favor google DIY lag switch, make one takes about 5 minutes, and then try it out and report back to us on how awesome it was. In SWTOR, the client (you) and server (swtor), you will screw up your gameplay more than anyone else's gameplay. Yeah, someone must have exploited SWTOR servers, got your IP address, then performed a DoS attack against you. While all of these things sound awesome and blame someone or something else for your problems. Wireless router dropped connection, ISP service interruption, network gremlins these are more logical explanations than, someone exploited swtor so hard my internet connection stopped working. Now your earlier claims of map exploits yes they have existed in the game but were fixed semi quickly. I do remember when the sith warrior could intercede to someone standing next to NC gate and would end up outside of the starting area. Then proceed to cap while starting timer still ticked down.

You are problaly being DDoS by other players in the war zone :roll eyes: This is not the work of a lag switch and most likely is a problem on your end. Hate to say it, even if your machine is a "beast", mine is not and it runs this game runs fine (30-45 FPS, 1440p resolution, high settings) in and outside of war zones. I play with 150-170ms from Okinawa, Japan and the most things I run into are people falling through the floor at hutt ball or rubber banding. I would try messing with all of your video settings, disable Crossfire or SLI (if you are running it), physically pull out one video card and run the game (again if you are running Crossfire or SLI). For video drivers I would try in this order, newer version, beta version, or a previous version. Then grab memtest and test out your ram. As for the sorc rubber banding (esp at the end with grapple), I would chalk it up to game engine/client+server issues. I would say that the client accepted the action, executed the animation, server tells the client action is not possible due to target out of range, immunity, or not line of sight and target stays at original position. Now it is very possible that a game update just fubared something, their updates have broken content for people in the past. But your video is not good in the aspect of identifying cheaters or artificial lag, it screams that my system is barely capable of running this game. For those screaming lag switch, think of games where you are the host. During the match you would toggle the switch causing others connected to you to "lose connection" long enough for you to kill them. Toggle it again reconnecting people and boom they are dead on their screen. You do not want to keep the switch flipped to long or it would cause others to time out and lose connection to you. But when the match is over your 100 kills to 0 deaths would be uploaded to the server to increase your ranking or whatever.

I would like to disagree and say your wrong but I cant, on Harbinger anyways. Just seems that non objective/team player imps are the only thing queuing up lately. Back filled an Ancient Hyper Gate where we never capped a node.. People were jumping down 1-2 at a time into a group of 6 just getting murdered... Figure after the first few deaths they would go the other way but nope. Like lemmings one after another they walked to their death. For arenas... Hah, try chatting at the start and mark targets, but once it all starts up people just shoot at 4 different guys and just get mowed down one at a time.

I normally don't post complaining post... But at this point I am just tired of pugging in WZ's... On imp side its horrible, **** its worse than that. Its taking 2+ weeks to finish my current weekly since its a loss after loss after loss, back fill mid game lose etc. Hell pre 50 pvp used to be decent now were just getting rolled in that as well. What happened to huttball? Why are people constantly fighting in the in-zone, never going after the ball, only to be charged over and over and over for easy caps.... Why are we going for a 3 cap on any objective map, when we can barely hold one? Why do people form a line spaced 60m apart and then proceed to run into a group of 6 one at a time? Then they leave the re spawn are join the back of the line and just rinse and repeat... Most of these games are just utter destruction/defeats, only map that's ever close is the 0/0 huttball and then when we grab the ball to play keep away, no one will pass. No they rather face tank 8 people with full resolve then ***** and moan about being stunned to death when you watched them running in circles till they die.

Calling BS on this right here. Multiple times mid has been empty long enough for me to climb up there (5-10 seconds) and every single time I've been killed, whether it was due to focus fire, mezzed/pulled or just aoe damage. I do this as a sniper so I can cause damage if left unchecked. Besides most pugs can coordinate a mez/pull then I am down quicker than I got up there.

X-52 Wraith Infiltrator, purchased for 90k off GTN, was hovering around 900k for a couple months. (Don't know if that's the going price, or if a new guy thought he struck gold.) http://www.torhead.com/item/bUFHFPI/x-52-wraith-infiltrator My Sniper http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o246/Ser636/SWTOR/X-52WraithInfiltratorSide.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o246/Ser636/SWTOR/X-52WraithInfiltrator.jpg

I would like to see this a lot but it may increase queue times for certain wz's. Say you queue for Huttball and Void Star because those are you favorite wz's to play. Then you can check another option to throw you in all other wz's queue after x amount of time (5 or 10 minutes?) . This way you preferences with all other players are hopefully pooled together and your in your wz of choice, however in the end if they check the "all other boxes" then they would get thrown into a random. Also as mentioned earlier if you go this route then your win will not count toward daily or weekly, choosing all by default would award appropriately. Sure there are flaws with the above system, but its the only recommendation I have off the top of my head. Honestly I love huttball, quickest game to win if played correctly, which means its the fastest way to grind comms.

I remember people complaining about this as well. It's not like when you buff in PVE/PVP that it doesnt buff everyone around you... But yes, game breaking right there.

Loss of words on why people want this game easier. I enjoy the fact that people can swap specs, hell I do it fill a role that might be missing since warzone composition is crap 80% of the time. This is class/talent design issue. As a sniper I do not like the fact they can completely skip stats however the developers designed the class this way and it seems to act in their interest. Otherwise it would have been changed about 2-3 major patches ago? So no respeccing in VS? I guess if I cant respec in the only warzone with multiple rounds I wouldn't be to devastated, however rather not give that up. Again as a sniper, if were attacking I am MM, if defending Engi. But how is it an exploit to respec? Every class has 2 AC's and those AC's have multiple trees, and were all offered the same time in the spawn area? So we all have the option to do utilize this feature, if you don't then its on you. I don't know how the developers balance anything, they rarely or never share their metrics with us, however looking at the history of buffs/nerfs it seems to go to those who ***** the most on the forums. Minus the smash spec. If you want to limit it make it usable only in the spawn area since the only class's that can "exploit" this would be stealth classes. Or a solo guard on a node somewhere.

I used to be against quitting warzones... Also wished they would suffer from some retarded penalty if they quit. However after seeing the blatant selfishness that most players are starting to exhibit lately, I can finally see a reason why to quit a warzone. People wont talk or coordinate, why stay? People believe the best route is to send 8 people to grass, why stay? You watch 6 people spread out by 30m or so, walk individually into a death box fielded by 6 of the enemy team, why stay? Finally, when people lack common sense/situational awareness, why stay? If after every pylon reset the enemy sends 4 people to your pylon, the immediate response from your team is to send 4-5 to take your pylon or theirs. What I see most of the time is me and/or one other person running to our pylon to fight out a losing battle while the rest are in mid farming kills or well, running 1 at a time into a group for 4+. You shouldn't have to ask, plead, or yell for pylon support in that scenario. So why stay? Also with all that crap going on lately its really pushed me to go from solo to premade (you know ruining warzones) in the pre/post 50. Fix the community and people might not quit.

Did a quick test on DPS mods in a shield and there was no stat degradation. So I retract my last statement. If someone else was able to get different results then I am at a loss. Yep there it is, because my skill level is shown by the quality of PVP gear I'm wearing... Ohh wait not its not, since skill has no reflect on your gear, just how much time you can dedicate to grind it out.
