D-Pad posted:Next question. I have queued for Galactic Starfighter a few times but have yet to get put in a match. Does nobody play it? I wanted to check it out... Peak hours have matches popping pretty quickly usually. Big part of it is KotFE just came out so a lot of people are doing that right now.

I've heard that you should click Queue Group regardless of whether or not you're in a group, and the queues will pop. This is a totally anecdotal story that I heard from my friend so I'm not sure how accurate it is.

Medullah posted:Normally yes but the 208 new pvp gear seems identical to the 208 PvE gear. When it was introduced Expertise was a part of the stat budget but that went away in 2.0. vanbags posted:With PvP gear is Expertise ignored in the stat budget? If I have a piece of 204 rated pvp gear will it be greatly inferior to a piece of 204 pve gear outside of pvp? PvE gear has a higher power curve than PvP gear so as the expansion goes on the difference between top end PvE and PvP gear will get bigger and bigger. Basically 208 augmented PvP gear is perfectly fine for FP's and SM Ops provided you know your business...if you're DPS you really should have 110% ACC for PvE but zero ACC for PvP though.

Yeah, late Sunday night I wanted to try to get my conquest rewards for the week complete before the reset so did like a dozen GSF matches over a few hours. If it isnt popping at all now its probably just cause everyone is doing other stuff currently.

maybe no one else will care about this but I thought it was interesting, I was frustrated by the really bad framerate in some areas, mainly foresty type areas, so I started testing settings and seeing what happened oddly enough, it looks like the shadow maps are 100% the root of the framerate issues, because turning them off and increasing my resolution to 3840x2160 had basically no effect on my framerate (this is on a 970 OCed to 1430mhz, also odd is GPU usage drops when the framerate drops with shadow maps on) but even when you've got a solid 60 and v-sync on, it still judders like crazy, and surprise surprise turns out the game has terrible frame pacing so even when you have a solid 60 it still feels super weird and unsmooth so yeah I've found the perfect settings are to have shadow cascades on medium since that reduces the amount of shadow maps, and most importantly run rivatuner statistics server in the background with the framerate limited to 60 since that fixes the frame pacing you'll still get framerate drops but it's smooth af 99% of the time

I'm a level 23 gunslinger, what's the easiest and non-cartel coin way to get a cowboy duster and hat? (I'm F2P so I don't have access to that Nico Okarr companion or whatever his name is.)

Do non-Force using classes get Dark Side corruption? I kind of hope so, even if it doesn't make any sense.

Huh, I guess 4.0 cut some fluff out of the planet story arcs; the Czerka base at the end of the Tatooine one is much, much smaller now. Also the multi-stage bonus quest attached to it is gone too but whatever

I always kinda liked that place, even though it takes a while to get through it. Had kind of a Mass Effect vibe.

vanbags posted:This has worked wonders for me. Warzones still run like poo poo for me, but at least now I can quest with smooth gameplay. yeah unfortunately there's no much you can do about combat framerate drops, the engine just doesn't like alpha transparancies it looks like it's probably a pipedream to expect EA to fix those poorly optimised shadow maps too but I'm glad my sperging helped someone, it's frustrating how common frame pacing issues are with PC games since it's by far the most important aspect of perceived smoothness

Phoneposting so forgive me if this was confirmed already, but right now I'm subbed from a referral, wasn't subbed when KOTFE dropped, and I definitely can't make a 60 or seem to initiate the KOTFE story on my 60 Sorc... unless I looked in the wrong place? Starts from your ship's computer right? Permanent access to the new expansion for free would be a pretty huge loophole.

Moreau posted:For DPS, what relics should I be aiming for these days? Ive got enough glowing crystals to pick up the set - wondering if the vendor ones are good enough. The developers made crystal relics terrible as part of their quest to make non-common crystals worthless. You'll be better off picking up the PvP relics or buying Ruusan relics off of the GTN. Regardless of how you get your relics, Serendipitous Assault and Focus Retribution are the best and second-best, respectively.

So when I last played flashpoints didn't have solo so I skipped them. At lvl 50 I see the two flashpoints on Ilum have solo mode. How exactly do they fit into the story? Should I finish the Ilum quest before I do Battle of Ilum or just anytime? Is there a guide for when I should be doing flashpoints so it aligns with the main story quests?

They're the end of the Ilum quest, and the quest will lead you into them.
