Hi! a "5%" user here!

First of all, sorry about my english, im from spain.

Intel QuadCore Q6600 2,4ghz (4 cores)
6 gb Ram
Nvidia geforce 275gtx

60 FPS Questing, around 30-40 Republic fleet, 15-20 warzones.

Yeah i know, mi pc is not a high end, but i can run fine (not at max) BF3, Batman...and other games much better than swtor on warzones, the optimization is crap. Common guys, swtor has a poor graphic engine compared with Age of conan or warhammer online, even wow is not worse on graphics that swtor.

I have read before that THEY say something like "the FPS problem is only for the low-end PC".. Okay... But i pass the recommended settings that THEY have wriiten on the manual!!! How pathetic, they recommend a low pc??

PD. I promise that i am improving my english :P

When I'm not in a warzone I don't have any lags at all. When I join a warzone my connection goes down.

You missed my point completely, my framerate whilst questing etc is fine, on fleet its OK, i used to get playable Huttball and Voidstar, after breaking from pvp for a couple of weeks i returned to it and now its unplayable, my system has actually had an upgrade in those two weeks, so the fact it is now playing worse makes no sense, its not a framerate problem.

For some reason warzones have a really bad lag issue, i click an ability, a second later i use it, and i have <100 ms so its clearly a server-side coding problem that needs sorting out.

Its not the system thats the issue in most of the cases being reported, there are lots of ppl with high end systems reporting the same problems.

*EDIT* To prove my point, turning graphics setting all the way up or all the way down makes absolutely no difference to the performance of the warzone

I've gone from highly annoyed to disgusted. I already cancelled my sub, and free month runs out on the 20th. If they haven't fixed this problem by then, I won't be coming back. See you guys in The Secret World.

I did as was told and took almost everything to zero what comes to graphics. It does help a lot and in theory lagging does not exist.

But changing targets is abysmally slow sometimes as are some abilities to start. Not that I could not pvp but its not smooth or reliable experience.

I guess I'm used too good, like wow, where I never had these issues.

I'm playing gunslinger and to enter a cover is like a nightmare for me. the delay is too long probably 3 sec before I can start to do something.

Kinda curious if it is the warzone maps or what. If it is number of players you can write off ever having epic world pvp battles between large groups.

When SWTOR first launched i had great fps everywhere. Now i lag like crazy on fleet and in warzones. I cant even play warzones because its so bad. One second im shooting at someone, next im dead. People are zooming around back and forth, disaper then reapear. I hit buttons and nothing happend.

Rest of game is great on high graphics, and i dont lag.
I put my machine on low graphics for warzones and still lags like crazy. But didnt do it before the last series of patches so i know my machine is fine. I run a quad core with 8gb of mem and a good card. But this is getting sad.

I heard its a bug, but why arent a lot of others suffering from this?

I feel like bioware does not even post in the forums. They need to make their presence known a lot more then they are this is currently just not well done.
