is BW ever going to address the horrendous load times?

Running windows 7 32bit? Or even Windows home premium 64bit you are limited to 16 gig

Not all have the Home-Edition, i use Professional 64bit allowing up to 192 GB of Ram...

This is not working AS INTENDED. It may be working as is but I am sure they would like load times faster.

This issue is a very big annoyance to many players.
Those that Play PvP and are constantly bouncing from a planet that they are doing daily quests and Pvp for warzones.

I site belsavis as the big offender as I am doing level 50 daily quests, there are 11 that can be done a day.
If I am in a queue for a warzone and doing the dailies it become a pain in the butt when I finish a warzone and have to wait for Belsavis to load.. almost a minute.
You may say that's not long... but in 2012 IT IS LONG...it should be maybe 10 seconds , and should be less.
If I am on Belsavis and loading to the warzone it takes maybe 10 seconds. Unless I get crashed to character screen...another big issue.

EABW get the load times shortened. This is a poor design on your part.
There is hardly any players on these planets... maybe 300 at peak... Other games have similar numbers for a zone... this is a planet with 4-5 zones.

To bad SWTOR is 32-bit, so its only gonna address 2 gb max anyways. Textures load in GPU memory, so more vid memory might help, but not 100% sure of that. SSD SATA III still long. But as above poster said, over time they will optimize the assets, but they got game breaking priority issues that they're gonna tackle first.

I agree. I have slow setup I admit and only 4 g memory. My HDD is usb connected so its not really fast. But result is that if I come war zones the loading can be so slow that I am already entering new war zone with 15-20 seconds left.

But it can't be as such HDD issue only. When I started the game my loading to WZ's was much faster as was all transitions. Last week has been horrendously slow.

I could think its because I am 45+ planets but same increased slowness has also occurred when I move from Warzone to Carrick station after war zone has ended.

And this is not an system issue either on my side, since I've actually removed lot of applications from processes to make my fps higher lately. In all terms I should have now lighter and faster system before. However loading times still keep rising.

Oh ok, i just dream the 3.4 GB swtor takes while running. And the recommended 4 GB of Ram printed on the DvD case are a typo... I dont know what OS you are running but mine doesnt need 2.5 GB for itself...

going from a warzone back to a planet takes over a minute with 24 gigs of RAM. Will this ever be addressed or is this working as intended as a time sink?
