Yeah I had forgotten about when I dismount and my companion is summoned the game "freezes" for like half a second.f The why's of that I am not familiar with, however, I do find that other basic designs I do notice that I feel need addressing. The massive amounts of places you can get stuck in the world and lack of enough quick slots to name a couple.

If you actually understand what he is saying, its something worth reading.
* These loading issues have been a serious problem ever since the beta.
* I am just concerned about the memory leaks...

World load times are irritating but I can live with them - for someone brought up on the zone-in delays of the original everquest on a dial-up connection they really aren't an issue.
For me the worst thing about the current client is that my GPU seems to be running on the edge of thermal overload most of the time. It rapidly achieves temperatures of 88-89C and the fans howl. By contrast the far more graphic intense environment of Skyrim runs happily (and quietly) at 65C.
The graphics in SWTOR, while imaginative and perfectly adequate for the gameplay, are not especially rich or detailed. There is no conceivable reason why they should stress my system so heavily. This really needs to be addressed before we have a rash of GPU failures due to prolonged use close to the thermal cutoff.

The animations are also not that smooth. An example would be if I used an ability on a mount, there would be a brief screen freeze. WoW did not have such problems 7 years ago when I played, so for some reason this engine is clunky despite not having high-end quality graphics.

The game is playable now, but I hope in future they will fix all performance problems.
The will optimise it, bound too, it still needs a lot atm though. Large group fights are still a big problem.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

im not a tech head..

but 5 minutes to load a planet with a mid-range computer and a fast connection is something that needs to be fixed.

going to corellia to do dailies is like a guild joke.. we wait until everyone needs an afk break and all go land on corellia. maybe, by the time i get back, the loading is nearly done. only to have to go load the black hole. its eventually going to drive people away if it hasnt already.

With loading times as they are, I kind of wonder why they don't add the ability to go directly to your ship and to Black Hole. It's a great daily zone, I just don't want to load it D:

Correlia has been a joke in my guild ever since beta as-well.
* We kept doing warzone pvp tests in the beta, and we would never take a warzone queue on Correlia, knowing how LONG it takes to load back into the world.
* Only reason we where on Correlia was to finish the story and move onto Ilum.
* But sadly 95% of the beta testing community didn't reach close to lv50, since bioware kept on wiping the client.
- Thus we never did enough tests regarding the end game content.

But they did stress some things...
Like spamming the GTN from multiple locations. "why"
* We crashed it!
Like flooding the imp fleet.
* We dropped it to a solid "1 fps"
