I'll try that. I have a 9900k, RTX 2060. On ultra it runs smooth as can be except for the lag.

Just returned to the game after a long time and boosted a sorcerer. I am having some serious lag when casting abilities. Like chain lightning. I press the button, the cast time goes by then i just sit for a few seconds. Then the ability casts finally. This is seriously horrible. When this is happening my server ping is around 36ms. Is this happening to anyone else?

If you are not in EA do you still get the rewards you were subbed for like the swoop bike or do you have to wait until next week?

The one thing I like so far is the companion changes. I never really geared any of my companions too much. Didn't pay any attention to affection either. I like now that I don't have to worry about gear and break out the skin/companion in whatever stance I want. It's pretty cool for someone like me.

No I knew I wasn't getting it. I understood the criteria. I just didn't realize my sub wasn't recurring.

I thought I was subbed the whole time then realized it wasn't recurring. I only got Niko , and the swoop bike. What is kind of dumb is that everyone is playing anyways. I can log on with everyone else I just don't have early access? I am subbed and contributing to the server load during launch so why not open it up. It's not like a preorder for an MMO expansion that gets you early access. I did sort of buy the xpac by subbing so why not let us play the xpac?

I'm in a better position I guess. I never really geared any of my companions all that much. Also didn't work on any affection stuff with them.

Is there ability lag? It seems like every expansion and rise of server pops bring ability lag until the load dies down. How is it so far? I haven't seen much on the subject and am starting to get excited.

What happens to everyone else during early access? Can we still play the normal game along side the early access crew?

Yeah I did that. I think I missed the Nikko Duster Coat and Early Access.

Ok thanks.

Ok thanks. Also as far as early access goes did you have to be a constant subscriber from July - October? I was for most of it but lost the month of September.

I forgot that my 60 day sub doesn't auto renew. I think I got a few of the rewards but maybe missed one. Is there a way to see what ones I have stacked up?

Ok thanks. I was playing through the only class type I had left (Commando/BH) to get that last buff. I really didn't feel like it though and would rather play one of my other classes. If it won't matter in another month I won't even bother now.

I was reading that all stats are being combined one mastery stat. What does this mean for the different class stat buffs you can cast on yourself? I am working currently towards getting my last archetype up high enough to get that last stat buff available for completing chapter 2 on him. Is still something that will be in place after Fallen Empire or will it not matter?
