  1. The excuse of the company not being able to afford anything is just a joke, right? With the budget they had at release, with all the subs they had, with EA owning the game. Truth is - they released the game in a broken, useless engine, they copied WoW to "play it safe" (I am almost quoting one of the Devs from interviews before the release), and now they can't add anything that is innovative cos they don't know how.
  2. So why did you come to THIS thread to say that OTHER threads have childish complaints? This one does have very good and valid points and yet you used it to whine a bit about other people. It's a funny vicious circle - we whine about the game, you whine about the people that whine about the game. I actually think that people trying to silence people with issues with the game are the ones that should feel foolish. I remember seeing replies from other people like "if you don't like the game, leave" and look at the game now. Only a few servers left, subs super low, game still buggy, dumbed down and still just a WoW star wars copy. People abandoned it, just like you fanboys wanted.
  3. What was taken out of context? I don't understand. You post another "stop whining, you're not helping" to protect your precious lie that this game does not need anybody to tell you it's got issues. It's got huge issues. OP posted valid points and they sort of have solutions within themselves already, but you refuse to see it, being in your usual defense mode of "how dare they say bad things about this game? Whiners".
  4. What do you mean "no real feedback or solutions"? He just basically said: - Improve Companions - Add more good looking items - improve the storage system (size etc) - add more maps (agree completely) - test your game better before you release new content (super valid point) - Make sure that there is no single spec that player has to use to be viable Most of these things were talked about before the release, before the Beta even released. I know, cos I was part of these discussions. Don't tell me there was no solution given. There were thousands of solutions given, and plenty of constructive feedback. Nothing changed. I have to say, seeing Bioware rip off other RPGs than WoW for a change is quite refreshing. I was hoping for that level downscale for various zones. I like that a lot. I hope they rip off more features from other MMOs. A bit of a sarcasm here, but I really do like the downscaling system now. I can skip the boring zones like Taris etc. So yeah, PLENTY of solutions, but nobody to listen. Never! They never listen, seriously.
  5. I have the same issue. My game runs a bit better on high than low settings, but I always keep Shaders and Shadows on low,off respectively. My laptop runs all the other games well, but ToR is a pain in the A. And it's no "Witcher 2", is it? It's a game with mediocre unoptimized graphic engine which is pretty much a joke for a game that costed so much money. Anyway... I've already been told that my CPU is the issue for ToR, but I don't think I am going to upgrade it JUST for ToR when I can run other games just fine. i5 M430 - 2.27GHz Ati Mobility Radeon HD 5870 8 Gig of RAM Couldn't Bioware just reduce the CPU load of this game? Of course they could, but whatever. The fact that they chose one of the worst Graphic Engines for one of the most expensive games in history is pretty much a joke to me.
  6. Sorry, but I do not understand any acronym in here. Care to explain what is: SOE NGE JTL CU
  7. I personally like Sabotage Probes, although they have a long lock on time compared to their small targeting range and very often people just dodge my locking. Proton torpedoes on the other hand are absolutely amazing. Yes, they do take a lot of time to lock on, but when they do... it's fun watching it fly. The secondary I hate the most? Rocket Pods (or whatever). I still don't really know how to use them properly since they don't have the same flight time as a blaster, therefore I can only hit an enemy while he's flying straight into me. They are useful against turrets though. IF anybody has any tips on the Rocket Pods, please give them here.
  8. So you agree. And once again, one battle happens on a planet, which has poles, up and down, and it would be nice to know where we are. I'd love to know whether the satellite is above me, below me, on the right of left side. It sometimes takes too long to go to the right one. The NPC ships, as well as satellites have already got an assumed bearing. When you start the battle the support ship is facing an informal "up", which is the same as the satellites. So the developers do have an up and down, but they just didn't put it in the interface because of lack of competence and lack of motivation.
  9. Sigh. I want to orient myself to the satellites. Satellites do have up and down, and I want to know which way I am going when I am turning. Sure, it's ok and it's managable, but why the hell are you dismissing a simple bearing UI? Why? Why on earth would you say it wouldn't be helpful? It's bad enough that the camera is so bad that you can't really properly look around you when you're manouvering and if you take a fast turn after somebody you can end up smashing into a rock. Of course - that's easy to avoid, but we're playing in a world that has all the advanced technology, and we can't even find out where the up and down is while we're flying on a planet? Space, I can understand, but planets do have poles, and they do have gravity. I'd like to know where the gravity is pulling me.
  10. See, because the satellites are pointing into a specific direction then I assume that Bioware already assumed where up and down is. I just think that the interface is a bit dumb and very lazy, with not much thought put into it. Even when we look at the directional shield - it's not very user friendly and you have to swap between different settings instead of choosing one immediately. Not to mention the fact that the ships do such slow barrel rolls. But that's another story. I would really like some indication of where up and down is. Yes, I can do it myself, but it's a waste of precious time.
  11. But it does not save my life. Especially during the battle on the planet. Sometimes when I go to point B and capture it, I want to go to another point, but there aren't many ways of getting out of that "pit" and I usually go above the rock formations. The bad thing is that when I do that, I sometimes go into the wrong "sky", since the bottom is also kinda blu-ish and I sometimes rush towards it just to get damaged/destroyed because the proper sky was on the other side.
  12. Could you please add a compass and an indicator where "up/down" is? I can't believe that it's not implemented. I can somehow understand that in space there's no up or down, but even Eve has it, even if it's kinda informal. We're in a ship, and anything that moves in 3 dimensions needs something to tell you which way you are going. Am I currently upside down? Hell knows, I have to look at the satellites to figure it out.
  13. The fact is, if this game wasn't Star Wars, it would be absolutely deserted right now. The only thing that makes most people stay in it is because it has lightsabers and is placed in one of the most epic universes ever created. And that's it. It's very far from being finished. I re subbed after 1,5 years and I have to say that there's barely anything added or changed. And even less things are fixed, I still see some ridiculous bugs that I saw at launch, and I cannot possibly take the developers seriously - it is obvious to me that they gave up and they are just trying to keep the game breathing, but not really trying to make it great.
  14. It's not better. Neither is Radeon. I even did a presentation on this a week ago. They're always competing but there's no decisive winner. I am not a millionaire, I am a student that can't dish out hundreds just to upgrade my PC to play one game. AMD is just fine. Not for this game though.
  15. Since you already checked the benchmark. Would you recommend another i5 that fits the same socket ( PGA988) and would improve the performance of the game? Nothing too expensive. 100 pounds maximum.
