  1. untrack the quest and next one will count, is a bit annoying though
  2. No, not queues. A global LFG channel, so that no matter what zone you are in, what alt you are on, you can see that the groups are looking for a healer for boarding party. As is, people are sending one group member to planet A, another to planet B, another to the fleet and spamming in general. A global channel would solve the problem, you would still have the personal touch of a chatroom group forming, people would still have to travel to the zone. Everquest 2 uses the global system of 1-9, 10-19, 20-29 etc so you can easily find a group in your level range no matter what zone you are in. Now, that many options aren't needed - but a GLOBAL channel would make groups SO MUCH easier to find. Example: I am on my level 28 marauder leveling, but a foundry group is LF healer... well, now, my Sorc is around that level that sounds fun - I can message them and say "Flipping over to my healer, invite X when I login". I bet a lot more people would have a lot less trouble getting groups if that scenario could happen, versus channels being glued to what planet you are on. No one uses the LFG tool the way it's supposed to, just like no one uses it in EQ... it's a cool idea on paper, but every one just uses channels.
  3. 50s having their own bracket needed to happen. Fresh level 50s weren't so bad, but anytime I got a level 50 on my team in T2 gear I was like "yay, gonna win" ... and we did. Anytime the other team got guys in T2 gear and ours had none, we lost. There was no competition, they could stand in the acid pits and fight the whole team of lowbies on huttball and still not die. However, most games do use cross-server queues for PvP even though I agree with no cross-server queues for FPs, PvP I think they could make an exception.
  4. I like the droid theme to the CSRs, so that I don't mind. The canned responses a lot do, that is expected. What I don't like is the fact issues don't seem to get resolved. I have had a ticket in for three days and I can't even get a canned response on it! lol If nothing gets resolved before my free time is up (which isn't for a while still, 19th I think) I will probably can the sub and wait til things get settled more, at the moment I can't enjoy half the game since I can't run FPs with my friends and the user fixes don't work. *shrug*
  5. Yeah, customer service is pretty bad ... I put a ticket in three days ago and I haven't even gotten the automated copy/paste response yet.
  6. Haha I know - every thread is a complaint. Personally, I love the game - yes there are some bugs, but it's new, so expected. Yes some features are missing, but it's new, to be expected.
  7. From the experience I have of guilds that DON'T use the meters/logs - you pick the person you _think_ is slacking, even if they are nowhere near - often it's due to personal prejudices, or the fact they don't want to upset the girl who is terrible and actually lowest but that flirts with them. I remember I was once in a group and we had one PuG player and the rest some huge raid guild - they weren't running DPS meters though for the group, I was. They BLASTED our poor PuG player for being horrible, low DPS, sucking, needing to learn how to play. I actually looked at the meter and the leader of the guilds wife, who was in the group, was the one that was sucking and slowing us down, the PuG guy was 3rd in DPS out of 6. But seriously - they are useful, for A LOT of things. You're in a raid and you need to know who is casting a certain thing that is messing you up - you look at your logs, you can't depend on asking those classes that have the spell that is messing you up. You are asked to help a player with their DPS - well, how do you do that if you can't tell what they are doing? Give them a rotation? Well, 90% of the players I have helped DON'T LISTEN and claim they are using the rotation/spell use I have given them but really aren't. How am I to know this without a log? There are SO MANY uses for logs / meters. And I am glad they are coming. If someone spams and brags they are uber cause they DPS high, even if they suck and hurt the group with it, ignore them and kick them. It's easy.
  8. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103774 Different models carry different numbers - mine is a AMD 1055T for example. All that means is a good quality dual core with 1.8GHZ minimum. Quad cores are more recommended.
  9. You can set the fan speed manually, like they said - though unless your case has good ventilation / a good amount of fans you probably want it higher than 30% to keep the card cool. But set it to how you want it for temp / noise control.
  10. Agree, not effected by this at all. My machine is a AMD 1055T 2.8GHZ ATI 5750 1GB 4GB RAM Win 7 64bit Running 100 FPS with everyone on high except shadows off *shrug* It will most likely be addressed though in drivers updates, or small hot fixes later on
  11. *sigh* First it's LET EVERYONE IN! WE WANNA PLAY! Now it's ... ugh you let everyone in, now there are too many people on my server Make up your minds people. There are ALWAYS queues on launch day of a game. This game is a HUGE LAUNCH, in comparison to most other games. Expect queues for the first few weeks at least. They have been adding more servers and they should add more, but they don't want to add 100 servers they don't need then have to merge after the first month. Be patient.
  12. Have him turn off shadows, will probably fix it. Also, RAM and CPU are very important and you don't mention those specs.
  13. You don't mention how much RAM you have... that is one thing that has been common in everyone I have talked to with bad FPS. Low RAM = laggy game. Another thing that can help though is remove shadows from the game. Just turn them off. Without shadows I run 100 FPS, with them I run 30.
  14. It's just a small minority, but they are vocal - they are called "trolls". My server is fine, I have helped a lot of people, answered questions, etc. Only bad thing I ran into is someone who tried to make a general chat issue of the fact I rolled "need" on an item that was an upgrade lol which ok I might have been kind of rude to that one guy, but I was willing to even let the fact he kicked me from group for something so dumb drop without comment, so he deserved it. But yeah, every time someone asks a question on my server people have responded. And I have even given away free armor. Just ignore the vocal minority of trolls, that is what the /ignore command is for.
  15. When they announced that they were sending retail keys on the 16th I contacted CS via live chat and they told me that we still would not be charged til the 20th. I guess they plan to if you don't pay on the 20th deactivate your key, even though that just seems like a lot more work for them.
