  1. Hello there I am going to start by saying that I never had performance/fps problems with SWTOR. I have a high end rig (GPU: GTX 1080, CPU: i7-8700 @3.20 GHz) The frame rate is dropping at specific areas on Onderon, mainly the waterfall area (witnessing drops from 60 to 40 and sometimes less). There are other specific areas in-game where fps is dropping as well but nothing major (drops between 50-60). I have no idea if anyone else is having the same problem. If the reason for this is bad optimization hopefully it might get fixed in a later patch. Edit: I play the game on Ultra settings, 1080p resolution, vsync turned on
  2. Yup it's bugged for me too it seems Hope it gets fixed soon
  3. Greetings, Some stacking evidence led me to believe, that the infamous planet Belsavis: an icy planet, with distinguished pit structures, which were exploited by the Republic forces, turning them into the Galaxy's version of Guantanamo, is or was actually meant to become the Planet Uatpau we saw in Revenge of the Sith: 1-Same fauna: We were first introduced to the Varactyl creature in Revenge of the Sith. In SWTOR, the varactyls made their first appearance on the planet Belsavis. Not to mention that some of the flying creatures roaming the pits of Belsavis, look quite similar to Utapau's Dactillions (maybe an ancestor?) *Usually each creature mount comes with a description indicating the planet originating from. For the Varactyls case, there was no mention of Utapau, just Kashyyk and Belsavis. 2-Well... the pits, are also quite the reason that led me to speculate that Belsavis is, or may end up as Utapau. They look uncannily familiar... 3-The weather: well, while Belsavis might be mainly an Icy planet, we mustn't forget the lava that roam its pits, and the difference 3000 years would make. Well, that's my theory, did it cross anyone's mind? Found more evidence? "Tell us, you should... Always in motion is the future":csw_yoda:
  4. I agree with your take on this, but the Outlander said "My mind, my rules. And I say what's good for Vaylin is good for you" then Valkorion replies "hehehe Clever". He clearly implied to Vaylin's relation to all of this... There is also something I can't seem to fully gasp, when you release Vaylin (her soul) you release it from the Nathema holocron, how is that even possible? Since Valkorion consumed her soul to control it? (Ok maybe somehow, the sith grandpa residing in your unconsciousness managed to trap his psycophath daughter's soul in the holocron HE built ages ago to trap his own father, which is in your pocket... somehow) But if I am to consider, what you said about the mind theory to be true, why would the Outlander use the specific sentence Valkorion used on Vaylin's conditioning if it wasn't related? Why wait, and try to trap his soul in the datacron, summoning his *quite lovely* family to aid you in the fight against him, then suddenly when he seems to be winning you remember the mind trick? Makes no sense to be honest... The plot suggests something more was at hand, a clever plot twist that was poorly executed or shown in-game maybe?
  5. Still wondering how Valk's latest catchphrase "Kneel before the Dragon of Zakuul" backfired against him in Chapter 9 of KOTET? Does it have anything to do with the fact that Valkorion consumed Vaylin's soul after her death? If so, how could the phrase work on Vaylin still? Especially after she managed to break free of its control on Nathema? I usually search Wookiepedia, the admins there usually post a detailed synopsis of the expansion, but not this time, or at least not yet... Any help with this twist?
  6. Here is the FULL EXPLAINED story behind Valkorion's motives and rise to power [gathered from story elements and CODEX] although I agree that some plot-points were poorly executed or shown in the game: 1-Valkorion was originally a sith pureblood named Vitiate, born as a Tenebrae, abandoned by his father Lord Dramath at birth. When Vitiate reached ten years old, his dark power grew immensely, he designed a special holocron, one that was able to trap his father's spirit within it. 2-After his father gone, Vitiate ruled over Nathema, dedicating his time to expand his powers and learn the darkest secrets of the Force. In the Aftermath of the defeat of Naga Sadow and the original sith by the republic, Vitiate invited all neighboring sith lords into a council on Nathema where he drained all their life essence including the planet's. Shortly after the ritual was enacted he gathered the remaining sith as a colony and went into uncharted space. 3-Vitiate thought that the ritual on Nathema made him immortal, but it only left him hungry for more, he plotted to repeat the ritual on a galactic scale (for that he needed a war, and an army). He forged a new empire on Dromund Kaas, created the children of the emperor, and even changed body hosts over the centuries just to keep his spirit going... He even trapped Darth Revan, preserved his body with sith Alchemy (Maelstorm Prison) for a potential future body host. But the republic was too strong to face yet, for that he convinced Mandalorians (Mandalore the Ultimate I think) to declare War on the Republic draining Republic resources, while the newly forged sith empire was shaping up... 4-Sith empire or Republic, both were merely pawns in Vitiate master plan of enacting the Nathema ritual on a galactic scale, but as Satele Shan once wondered, if he would drain all life from the galaxy just for immortality, who would he rule? an emperor of nothing? an emperor of the Void? Not quite... Vitiate always knew, that the sith civilization was flawed, his rule will always be contested, every sith in time will try to stab his master in the back, no true loyalty, just a constant thirst for power (Looking at Darth Baras when he tried to imprison the sith emperor body host...) But Vitiate knew the force was neither light of dark... On his Odyssey in uncharted space he found a planet named Zakuul, and a champion named Valkorion who seems to be connected to defeating the eternal fleet with the gravestone in someway... The sith emperor, transmitted his main spirit into Valkorion, and this explains why he went silent afterwards. The remaining body, in the sith temple was a doppelganger, in someway his voice, eyes and ears, in the galaxy far far away that we know... 5-When the Hero of Tython, killed the emperor on Dromund Kaas, as the emperor's cult stated in an email sent to the sith warrior class story, the emperor went silent, however his soul lingers... After this defeat the emperor (Valkorion here) was weakened, this defeat of his orginal host made his spirit fractured and vulnerable, not only did he lose his eyes, ears, and voice in the galaxy, but he also lost part of his soul, maybe half (This deserves a nod to Voldemort and his horcruxes from Harry potter ) 6-Revan freed, Revan reborn, seeked vengeance on the emperor for imprisoning him for all these years, the emperor seemed to have shared a bond with revan, just like he did with the outlander (since Revan was able to peak in the emperor's mind many times...) He knew that somehow the emperor still lives, even if weakened, he felt his presence in his mind, that is why he went to Yavin 4, for a ritual that would allow him to conjure the emperor and defeat him once and for all... But before Revan was able to summon vitiate, that fracture of the emperor's soul that the jedi knight had defeated long ago, fed on all the lives that were lost during the revanite's war, and gained enough strength to escape... The soul fracture then went to neighbor planet Ziost and fed on all life on that planet, gaining back it's full stength, the fracture of vitiate soul went back to its main body host Valkorion. Valkorion at this period of time regained full power. 7-After regaining full power from his latest feast, Valkorion, now immortal emperor to a perfect empire (Zakuul), and father to powerful force-sensitive children (Arcann, Thexan, and Vaylin), ordered his two sons to launch a full scale war with the eternal fleet on the republic and the empire. If he wasn't going to reenact Nathema ritual on galactic scale that would be because after Ziost , Valkorion realised that he already is immortal and a god... His full stength is regained, his immortality achieved, his new empire already already too powerful and his eternal fleet unstoppable, he decided to destroy the republic and the empire once and for all, to become the sole immortal uncontested ruler of the galaxy, forever... 8-But there is a flaw in the Plan, his current body host Valkorion was aging and dying, and while I believe that his children were potential hosts, since he obviously didn't father them out of love or raise them out of kindness "A god has no family". Arcann's betrayal however, came unexpected and the emperor's immortal soul seemed forced to merge with the outlander's body. He couldn't take control completely, for that to happen the outlander needed to accept Valkorion; plus Valkorion wanted the outlander to take his throne back, and eliminate his unruly off springs, starting a new legacy with the outlander on the eternal throne. And ofc he needed to see if the outlander is a worthy host, after defeating Arcann, Valkorion appears out of nowhere at the ending cinematic of chapter 16 KOTFE and tells you "You are ready" (a nod to revenge of the sith, where palpatine was testing Anakin to see if he could outbest his old apprentice count dooku in a duel, in this case most likely Arcann his first choice of his next body host) So this is the full Immortal emperor story in a nutshell, complicated sure, but this is it... it's not poorly wriiten, I think its pretty original but sometimes poorly executed or shown in the game... Except my original question still stands: How did the phrase "Bow before the Dragon of zakuul" work on the emperor in the dreamworld? I know there is a smart twist somewhere, obviously related to Vaylin : "Outlander: what's good for Vaylin, is good for you/ Valkorion: hehehe Smart"
  7. Not completely sure, but seemed random to me, my character had pure light side alignment and got to use both during the last fight. However the effects of the light and dark abilities, am uncertain if they are the same for all the classes, for me (Jedi Knight/ Sentinnel): *Light abilities: a Satele Shan like double-bladed saber, with force powers associated to the Grandmaster *Dark Abilities: double sabers, with red and purple crystals, and hilts similar to the ones held by Darth Revan, the abilities themselves I recall Foundry Revan using something similar I like to think of this as a nod, to Revan and Satele, on how these 2 iconic figures influenced the Outlander for this specific final showdown!
  8. It worked on Valkorion in Chapter 9, not on Vaylin... However, Valkorion was able to command his daughter's spirit because he consumed her soul right after she died. I think he may have imprisoned her in the Nathema datacube, like he did to his father lord Dramath => Vaylin would join you in the fight against the Immortal emperor only if you set her free, you do so by releasing something from the datacron, which I guess is her imprisoned soul.
  9. So first of all, this was one hell of an expansion... What started a bit mediocre in KOTFE ended on a high note in KOTET, connecting all the dots, with some outstanding gameplay diversity (Walker fights, mouse droid, Valkorion...), adding more life and some much needed backstory to its characters, not to mention making chapters repeatable on different levels of difficulties. By the end of the expansion I had a wide smile on my face, (especially when I saw Jace Malcom looking at Satele Shan while rebuilding Coruscant...) But there is something about the ending that I hope we could discuss: How did Valkorion's latest catchphrase "Kneel before the Dragon of Zakuul" backfire against him? Why didn't the Outlander use it sooner? On my first playthrough, my character justified this, by being in control of his own mind... The plot of Knights of the Eternal throne was smart with the occasional twists from here and there, but this felt a bit odd, (comparing it to the expansion's 8 previous story-based chapters, its only logical that something more was at hand) Could it have anything to do with the destruction of the Nathema Datacron? With Vaylin? Arcann? Feel free to share your thoughts! May the Force serve you well
  10. Hey all, I previously subscribed at the beginning of the month, shortly after Chapter XVI: The Battle of Odessen was confirmed to go live on July 28th. Now that the release date was moved to August 11, would I still qualify for the last chapter? Given that my subscription will end just a few days before its release... Thanks
  11. Hey all, I had a question about the DvL event characters: Would a character created using a level 60 token, be eligible for the event rewards? For example the "Eternal Level" requires you to reach level 65 on a character in both factions (pubs/imps). Would reaching level 65 on a level 60 character token complete the required challenge? Thanks
  12. Hey there, Just wanted to ask about the subscription reward of 500 cc that was promised for subscribers by July 7th, I renewed my subscription on July 5th, and was wondering when will the coins be delivered? Anyone can help? Thanks.
  13. P.S: -I have the Locked Medium Glowing Crystal Container in my inventory -When I click on "Show Affordable" at Ops gear vendor, I get "the Medium Glowing data crystal container" as affordable, yet when am about to complete the purchase the error saying "you can't afford the item" pops (which is a bit ironic).
  14. That's the bug, I can't buy/exchange the item at ops gear vendor! Every time I try, even that it clearly indicates that I can, I get the error I listed above "you cannot afford this item"
  15. Hey all, I would like to report an issue I am having with exchanging Locked Medium Glowing Crystal Container. Ever since patch 4.0 came out, and even after the latest 4.02 today: It's just every time I go to ops vendor in supply section at fleet and attempt to exchange the box, an error message pops saying "you cannot afford this item". I literally tried everything, tried selling the box (but cannot sell since the box has no value), re logging didn't help either, also when addressing the issue on General Chat channel I noticed that I wasn't the only one having such problem. I have more than 20x Locked Medium Glowing Crystal Container in both my inventory and cargo. I really hope I get a fix for this error soon, or at least get the error (bug) acknowledged. Thank you all.
