Star Wars: The Old Republic Random Question/Discussion thread - F2P

[EternityEnd]

The only major complaint I have with the game in its current incarnation is the lack of ability responsiveness, as highlighted in this thread: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=95738

I'm not positive if everyone's encountering this animation lag (I should think so), but it's making my PvP as an IA quite frustrating. It's as if I have 200+ ms when using my vibroblade abilities, when I have less than 50. Note the description in this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1T0OisXdew

My ability "lag" in swtor. It takes me in this clip 0.8 seconds from that i click on the ability to that the actual combat animation starts to play. This happens all the time in the game. However, when i'm inside buildings or in instances(non FP) with no people around my combat is "instant". This "lag" continues to happen throughout the entire combat.

That's exactly what happens with me, as well. Anyone else having this issue?

I have a chat alt there with RL friends.

you can turn off aoe pet abilities as needed. This is what I do when hubby and I duo heroics, so Aric doesn't fuck up my hate.

Oh neat! I didn't realize that they were on a toggle, shit has caused me to die more than a few times, thanks!!

Sometimes after my companion heals me, it leaves my character glowing green. It doesn't glow during cutscenes, but it continues to glow in regular gameplay until I either log off or board my ship. Any reason why this is happening and how I can stop it? Also, how can I send crewmates on missions to gather resources? I looked on my spaceship but I don't see any option to do so. I did get training from some of the NPCs on the Imperial Fleet but there was never any mention about how to send crewmates off on missions.

The bottom left where the companion health bar/portrait is there is a little tab in the top right of the portrait circle to open the crafting menu. After that, click on the icon of the gathering you wanna do next to the companion you want to do it. After that, a mission list will pop up. highlight the quest, and click "Send Companion."

Just a graphics bug, probably have to wait for it to be fixed.

You can send your crew on missions through the Crew Skills window, the icon looks like a diamond at the top of the UI.

the N key also opens the crew window

Mine would choke a bit in pvp until i turned shadows down, now it runs pretty smoothly.

I'd been pretty hesitant to pick up TOR after all the mixed reactions to the beta and a lot of the overall negative commentary, but I have to say I'm really enjoying it thus far.

I'm not sure why some friends of mine decided to roll on a RP server (ugh...), but otherwise, it's pretty nifty.

High-end PC and installing on my SSD have definitely smoothed out the gameplay experiences and I've only bonked into a few bugs so far.

The one thing that's shocked me is that the TOR combat system has actually given me a tad more appreciation for both FFXI and FFXIV combat (even in its original button-mashy form).

I don't like that I can't always tell an ability has actually gone off except by looking at the bar to see that it's in cooldown. At least 2 of my abilities as a lowbie Sith Marauder (the one that attacks with both hands and provides 6 rage, and the one that can only be used after a successful defensive maneuver but can't be blocked/evaded) regularly fail to animate in any meaningful or eye-catching fashion, and it drives me nuts.

Everytime I use force charge in Voidstar pvp area I fall through the map, /stuck doesn't work and I have to keep quitting..wtf

ya I hate the falling through the map glitch. It happens to me a lot in Voidstar when I try to cross the bridges that you have to unlock. Fucking annoying, but to be fair the game is pretty low on it's glitches compared to other mmo releases.

This is seriously my expression every time some shit like this happens:


Edit: Will admit this launch was ultra smooth especially taking into consideration the amount of people who started.

i laughed way too hard at that picture

Apparently someone read my post lol, servers are going down for an emergency fix or something. Wonder how long and what for.
