You're probably playing at 1920x1080 resolution or lower which isn't nearly as challenging to get reasonable performance on. MMO's are a lot more immersive at high resolutions or multiple monitors and that really takes a high-end rig to make happen along with a game that's not graphically challenging at lower resolutions. So, I'm glad that it doesn't take a monster machine to run this game at 1920x1080 or multiscreen setups would be impossible. And like Blizzard, EA/BW wants this game to be accessible by as large of audience as possible so they aren't requiring their player base to go out and buy a new rig to play effectively. They seemed to have done a good job in balancing their game graphics with current hardware. Lol something about a pot and a kettle...

SO a 955BE i could fond for around $100 600w PSU around $50 8 gigs ram say around $40 GST 450 about $115 asus motherboard around$50 any old case for around $60 Windows $120 HHD $40 Add that up and see what you get. I used the parts in my computer as reference. If you know what you are doing you can build a gaming focused PC for SUPER cheap. A PC like that could max this out without trying.

Whether this game is ran on max settings or at 75% of max there is little difference in game immersion. And this crap about fps... if the game is getting ~40 fps immersion is going to be fine. People claiming >100 fps are just epeening. If money is a problem buy a good motherboard,cpu and mid range gpu. Cannibalize your other hardware from the machine being used currently. Max settings really aren't necessary to have a fun game.

It mostly depends n your situation ... most people with awesome rigs are simply past studies and earn a living where they can use more than 20 buck per weekend to entertain themselves.

I have a $500 laptop that most certainly CANNOT run it on max settings. And I only bought it a few months ago. However, it's definitely playable on low settings.

Or, i could play on low settings(Oh snap, the black in the shadows is now grey!) and get 10 more fps which never drops... did you even read the post , it clearly said people who run on low fps with low settings

Over exaggerate much to try and get a point across? There isn't a $200-$300 laptop that will run SW:TOR on max. And my laptop that I game with when not at home is just fine for the task thanks. Core i7, 8gb ram, nVidia 460m w/ 1.5gb DDR5 and 160gb SSDD has no problem with SW:TOR or most anything else out. And considering you can get laptops with SLI/CROSSFIRE 560m or 6990, 12+gb of ram and core i7 Extremes, you're pretty much talking out your backside asserting people cannot game well on a laptop. Carry on with your ignorance though
