  1. Salutations folks. I used to play swtor back around launch and it was lag free, zero ability lag ect..now i see since ive returned that planets like belsavis,hoth,yavin and richi are a complete joke . with skill delay up to 5-6 seconds . and nothing is being done about it despite the vague dev responses we get so i decided to sit in belsavis and mess around a bit. here is what i found. On tatooine I had 56 frames, 45ms latency. cpu at 16% memory at 75% and my cache was fine. i swap over to belsavis and Immediately my fps drops to 21 (14 in combat) 45ms latency, cpu at 17% memory was at 98% and the cache was rewriting itself over and over. as im watching my screen i notice something...the textures around me are populating then repopulating over and over and each time the memory is adding it on aswell as the cache. So i put in a 16gig ready boost thumb drive ( as it acts as additional solid state cache) and a few things happened. my fps went back up to where it was on tat. and the memory usage droped back down to acceptable levels. I still had ability lag but no where near as severe. This leads me to believe the following ( and its opinion as im no super computer wiz, just know how to get around a bit) Since the expansion there is an issue with the rapid repopulation of textures that are already rendered, when they repopulate it is taking up memory each time and it continues to do so until it can no longer fit the textures , then things get super bad with the 5 second delays ect because the game cant render or accept any more information. Again, i would love for a computer programer or someone who truly knows about this kind of stuff to chime in and let me know if my theory is holding any air, and what some remedies could be. PS. I diddnt bother putting in my computer specs because for the issue at hand they diddnt serve a purpose. the computer is more then able to run the game during normal circumstances.. thanks and im interested to see what people have to say!
  2. its nice to see the interest in this! Ok first m to the person who said that thumb drives are expensive, Mine was 9 bucks at walmart. just look for a 8 gig stick that isnt a crap brand and pick it up. Next. plug it into your USB and a box comes up with options..click the one that says "use to boost computer performance" follow the rest of the steps and BAM! done this is the easiest thing ive ever done on a computer, if you dont have it on your lap top you are missing the boat!
  3. salutations folks. Im playing swtor on a laptop with an i3 processor (2.6ghz) with windows 7 64bit os with on board graphics. and 4 gigs of ram. On low settings the game runs consistently at 28-30 fps. well ive figured out a few things that made a HUGE change, most of them are known but for our new players on lower end rigs this is a viable way to play the game in pvp/ops and have it run great on Med settings. Besides setting everything to run for Performance i bought a 8gig flashdrive with ready boost and installed it on my laptop. the setup was easy. and the change it made was astounding! once the ready boost was in the game could be Turned up to Medium settings and it ran a steady 45 frames with no slowdown in FP's/warzones So for anyone playing on a laptop and want their experience to run a little smoother and look a little better...go down and buy a decent flash drive and get the ready boost running!
  4. At the end of the day there are two choices, Either you buy it or you quit playing. I cant imagine anyone trying to play the game without the update. and its the price of a small pizza so who cares about the money. Im sure 99% of the people playing swtor have gotten their money "entertainment wise" out of it. All in all , it looks a bit light for an "expansion" but we dont know anything about it yet. for all we know it could end up being HUGE....then ten bucks is a steal! or it could be a new quest hub and nothing else , so you just pay your ten bucks to get your 5 levels and enjoy yourself 8) Either way im buying it.

  7. Salutations folks! i know the game is yet to release macros and add ons . But they have given us the ability to do our own with The Naga Mouse. And ive done a little research to make every healers Life easier. In the Naga menu go to make a Macro. and do the following. 1) Left Click "down" 2) .10 delay 3) Left Click "up" 4) .10delay 5) (button with your heal of choice on it) "down" 6) .10 Delay 7) (button with heal of your choice on it) "up" Save it and then bind it to your Naga using the Razer interface. Now in game it allows you to scroll over a unit frame in a part,Op group or even a companion frame. Press your bound button and Bingo...Scroll over click to heal at your finger tips. this should make OP and group healing feel the way it does in every other MMo on the market. I know the devs are working on this so this will work for the mean time
  8. its quite rare to find a guild that is strictly RP in the chat. Although i have seen guilds that have a special IC chat channel.
  9. I figured it out by watching a post on you tube. I set the macro to target the target of target then cast a heal. this way i can dps the mob then when it starts hammering on a person i can use the macro to switch targets and toss a heal on them. I need to test it tonight to make sure it works as i just wrote it this morning before i left for the day.
  10. well, my purpose wasnt for a rotation. I wanted to be able to do something similar to a "click cast" where when i click on someone it automatically casts a heal as well.
  11. Salutations folks, I just bought myself the Naga mouse and was all excited to start messing with it , when i mentioned this in guild chat a couple folks said that Macros were against the TOS for Swtor and i would be banned. is that correct? I havent even tried doing it because i was afraid of breaking the rules. if someone can chime in that would be great. an example of the macro i was thinking about was something such as Select Target((Target Name)) /cast (Rank6 Advanced Medical Probe) would something like that be a big No-no?

  14. Well its nice to see people discussing here on the boards! I know when i log on I always try to start a conversation in general for the planet im on. yesterday i said " hello Hoth" and was sent a private message to "cram my head in my ***" lol. Ive noticed alot more people playing since i started about 6 weeks ago. and it seems to be getting the community pumping! lets keep it up!
  15. I agree with you. all i was saying is that if you are just standing in the middle of a battlefield the flaws of your character are going to be more easily exploited and that a little situational awareness could go a long way towards taking the sting off of our commandos lacking a lil in pvp. diddnt mean to make it into a L2P post lol.
