Some people really need to learn how to handle stuff they have. Sorry I didn't make it clear earlier, but I've worked in the PC repair field for 4+ years now, building my own PCs for 8 years.

Now all I gotta do is wait for the people to come into this thread saying how they play BF3 ultra everything blah blah blah. Get rid of your low speed ram and low speed data transfer rate HDDs. p.s. this game is awesome and I have a level 50 Jugg 4/5 on HM EV. So don't come in here telling me to get off Korriban. Really? So your PC is faster than my $3k+ PC loaded with SSDs and loads everything in 5-7secs? With the kind of PC I have I still can't get that "5-7secs" for load times. Even the fanboys has to agree here that this dude is the biggest liar in the history of mankind. Good job.

I need the game to not make me go through 3 empty places JUST TO CHANGE PLANETS. The problem most people have with the loadscreens is not their duration, but the amount of times that they actually pop up. Example: I'm on the republic / imperial fleet. I want to take my ship to some other planet. Nothing wrong so far right? Here's what I have to do: I interact with the door to the hangars (1 loading screen) which teleports me to the inside of an empty hangar that only has my ship and a couple of useless placeholder NPCs. I interact with the door on my ship (another loading screen) to get into my ship. I interact with the galaxy map and pick my planet (third loading screen). I arrive at the planet after 2 cutscenes and I have to walk out of my ship (4th) walk out of the hangar (5th) AND THEN I'M ON THE PLANET. What a painless fluid journey. But then again, just what IS fluid in this game? I agree... Either the hangars will find a future use of some kind or they are just proof or poor game design...

Alone is the default state of an MMO player, whether if be for minutes (or) months, and the game should embrace that. But making a massively single player game isn�t the answer. -Damion Schubert

There is an issue with the engine itself concerning load times. I have a 2600K, 8GB RAM, and run the OS/SWTOR off of a Vertex 3 which is running at the advertised rates. I can assure the doubters that my system is not the issue. I have noticed that the game itself during the 'loading' screen uses hardly any CPU, and the disk read/writes are remarkably low. It's like the engine is waiting for something to happen, but there is nothing happening. My SSD is hardly being accessed during this time. Other games that take a decent amount of time to load (BF3, and it still loads faster then this game) are clearly reading something off the SSD during this entire time and actually 'loading'.

Sometimes my load times are 7 or 8 seconds. Sometimes my load times zoning into exactly the same planet are 20-30 seconds. The loading always hangs and just sits there fore 15 seconds at the same spot. It really becomes game-breaking if you're in, say, Taris, and you decide to go put some stuff on GTN. You get to travel back to the entry area, then get on a shuttle to a dropship (loading time) then run through the dropship to your airlock and get in your ship (loading time) then run to your bridge and load up, say, Imperial Fleet, then leave your ship (loading time) do your business, and then return to Taris (three more loading screens.) That's SIX loading screens, not to mention run-around time, just to go throw some stuff on GTN. It's not a hardware issue. Being underpowered doesn't lead to sporadic behavior, it leads to constant problems because you are underpowered. And, by the way, TOR, as a 32-bit app, can only address 4 Gigs of RAM anyway, so upgrading beyond that is pointless for this game. (I have 6 Gigs, by the way.)

Some zones load decently fast. However, these appear to be the smaller zones like Imperial Fleet. Which makes sense. However, it still doesn't make sense why the larger zones take longer to load when the disk is hardly being accessed to begin with.

Intel i7 990x OC 4.2 GHz Coolermaster V10 thermal electric cooler, 12 Gigs corsair RAM 256 SSD SATA III 6MB xfer 2TB spindle drive for music and file storage 2x GTX 570 SLI ASUS RoG Formula III MB http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...618_223428.jpg I work in the IT field, and I assure you, there is NO need for me to update anything. I have zero issues... UNTIL I try to load into Hoth, Belsavis, or Corellia. Those load times are a good minute to 1.5 mins. All others are pretty much 15 secs or less. The ship to hanger bay, to internal map zones are just a quick black screen, so no problem. HOWEVER, those larger maps, and the need to load the entire world when landing, are the issue. They need to be broken down into smaller areas to improve over all load times. Yes, this would mean more shorter load screens, but it beats sitting at one long one for an extended amount of time. Now, if these three load times give me issues, and not issues I'm acutally complaining about (just posting this for a high end benchmark), I can only imagine what they are for someone with a 'normal' rig.
