I've played a droid before (In this game and others). Let me just say this: Just because you are a droid does not mean you don't have a backstory. In fact I think droids can have the most interesting backstories because they are created and programmed. Play around with that, maybe you're an ambassador droid that was reprogrammed to be an assassin droid. Maybe you're a war droid reprogrammed to be a cleaning droid, or an interrogation droid reprogrammed to be a medical droid. I once played a droid in a GCW era tabletop. I was an HK unit that, according to legends (old canon), was refitted to be a firefighting droid. My particular character was then bought (for his resemblance to the famed assassin droids) and when his master found out he wasn't a combatant, he reprogrammed him to be an assassin droid again. It was really fun to play. TL;DR: Get creative and don't skimp on your characterization just because you're a droid.

So excited for this!

Ok so I tried this gear with assault specialist and my Damage numbers actually went up. I am not fully geared but I have all obran except for 3 pieces. The ones i do have are all augmented. Each match I feel like I am doing less damage and yet in the end my overall damage is higher in this build. any thoughts? am I doing something wrong?

So I was talking with some friends today and I thought we could maybe get 4 people in conq gear to queue for ranked just to get coms. Someone said that it wouldn't be worth it because we'd lose since we aren't fully geared and we wouldn't get many coms. I have never done ranked in 2.4 so I'm not really sure if this would be the case any thoughts ?

I am kind of in the same boat gear wise but I can tell you where I am and see if it helps. I have full Partisan supercommando gear (tank) and play as a tank. I am working on my conqueror pieces now. Just last night I broke close to 30 kills and 0 deaths. I can take alot of damage and get up on the leaderboards too. It helps to have a good healer on the team but even those last minute self heals can really make a difference. I had someone give me a list of enhancements to replace the ones in the highest gear ......Unfortunately now there is a new level of gear and I have no idea if those enhancements are relevant. Pros: I can take alot of damage. I can get a decent amount of kills with a healer I am extremely hard to kill I can really help the team by running interference and maintain agro Cons: I wish I could do some more damage if I get focused by multiple people and my defensive abilities are on cooldown i get cut down pretty fast. I am in no way an expert on this and I am in a similar boat in terms of gear and such but I this is my experience and I hope it helps =) also if you don't mind me adding.... Can someone tell me the best way to put out a little more damage?

thanks for your help guys I've gotten down to very seldom lag when just playing the game as for wzs I dont think its gonna happen lol but thank you

Ok So i tried all these settings and played a little yesterday. Playing the game was better than ever on my laptop. I went to some questing areas and did some dailies and everything was fine. I did not try a flashpoint yet. I did however do a warzone. So it was much better than ever but I still experienced large amounts of lag. I was able to target some people and land attacks and kills. I managed to go the whole match without dying which is good cause before I'd die and not even know it because of the lag. There were moments where there was no lag even in large conflicts but they were very brief. I tested this at my house with good Wifi connection. I imagine this would be better with a wired connection which is what I will be using at my dorm. Any thoughts?

Ok so I tried all your settings and noticed some better quality but it still didn't hold up in a WZ. I couldn't install that direct X thing I kept getting error messages any suggestions? Also What resolution should I be on Thanks again =)

I do apologize for my lack of computer knowledge I'm still learning lol. Anyway this is what I found in my Nvidia control panel GeForce GT 745m

I have Nvidia in there too it just wasn't on the list I copied over sorry

Hello SWTOR Community !!! I love you all. I like to start my posts by saying I love this game and its community. So! Onto my post I am not a new player although with all the changes sometimes I feel like I am, like did you see that starfighter trailer?? Looks pretty cool! So I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this post and if not I am truly sorry. I have been playing SWTOR on my desktop with no problem since just about launch. Then I went to college and my playing has dropped cause No laptop. Well now I have a laptop that should (In theory) run SWTOR just fine. however I seem to be having some issues. I can manage to play teh game ok with some bearable lag however warzones... forget about it. This is somewhat of an issue since my main is a 55 and I love pvp, but I haven't been able to work on him cause I can't play =/ I'm decent with computers but all these setting combinations I've tried arent working. So I'm gonna leave my system information and I'd love it if someone could help me out. Processor: Intel® Corei7-4500U CPU @ 1.80GHz 2.40Ghz Installed Memory (RAM): 8.00 GB (7.89 GB usable) System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor Windows 8 Asus Computer Name: BT7 Thunderclap Thank you so much for your help you guys !!

I play a trooper on jung ma and with work and school my Swtor times are a little jumbled. I'm still getting the hang of all the new stuff from 2.0. Anyway I have been a fan of Rp since the launch of Swtor. I have done some awesome in game rps with my guild and forum rps here on this site and also with my gold I was wondering if there was a place specifically that rpers tend to hang out. I'm looking to develope my character a little more and was looking for a place that I can go to to enjoy some Rp. I know about the cantina on nar shadaa but that doesn't always have people. Thanks in advance for your help and if anyone wants to look me up on game its kotaa (I'm working n eliminating that second "a")

Hello everyone. I started RP-ing with SWTOR. It was my first RP experience including in-game and forum RP. I love it and it really interests me. Since I RP-ed in SWTOR I have tried RP-ing other genres that I enjoy. All of which have been fun. This may seem like an unrelated question but my roommate and I made our own forum RP site for a different game and being new to RP in general I was wondering if anyone knew effective ways to get the word out there about our site. I am in no trying to divert any players from any other games including this one I was just wondering in general how would I attract players.

I was looking for more of a specific thread

I play on Jung ma and love world PvP even though there isn't much. My friend and I like to look for any kind of world PvP that might go on. I was wondering if there was a website or a forum thread dedicates to news and info on events for jung ma such as world pvp or even rp
