Sorry for the double post but I have a technical question. Last night when I was playing I was getting some weird stuttering when walking - my fps stays right up around 60 the vast majority of the time, only dropping a couple fps here and there, but I still get this weird, small choppiness with the landscape when moving. After googling I see that some people are calling this "micro stutter" when there is stuttering without fps loss. My system should be just fine to run this game (6th gen i7, 16gb ddr4 ram, gtx970, ssd) and even when lowering settings from ultra down to lower settings the stutter is present. The only thing that helps a bit is to turn off shadows but I am not about to play a game with no shadows when I know my computer is able to and it looks like rear end without them. I need to run through some of the suggestions I read about (run windows xp sp3 compatibility mode, change farclip setting in the settings file, run a memory cleaner...) tonight after my kid goes to sleep, but does anyone here have any advice?

I noticed the same thing. Try turning down the shadowmap resolution slider. Mine was maxed out (I think it goes up to like 4096?) and made the game janky as gently caress, but when I dropped it to about halfway everything was perfect and stable. I tried the same thing with turning shadows off entirely at first too so this should do the trick.

Also, is there anyone that can craft 45B Lethal mods? I'm not seeing any up on the exchange. If so, gimme a price (if it's 100-200k) or mat cost and I'll send it your way. I think I need 9 of them.

You don't want Lethal Mod 45Bs, unless you're building a PvP DPS Tank build. They are heavy endurance and low mastery/power. If you're a healer or DPS you want unlettered.

Edit: PvP tanking on my assassin is one of my favorite things to do in this game, which really surprised me since I don't usually tank or PvP much in MMO's.

Figured I'd ask here since all my searching on Tor Fashion's turned up nothing, but is the armor the Sons of Palawa wear on Tatooine available as a gear look? Best I was able to find was some armors have really vague similarities to some parts of it, but I couldn't even find anything that was just a reskin/recolor.

I liked the choice in this game because they made it between two that I could not have cared any less about on every character I played. Should have been a third option for both of them.

If there's one thing I love more than being forced to walk wide-eyed stupid into obvious traps it's final boss battles with brand new mechanics to deal with.

Also animations with no concern for how ridiculous they'll look when equipped with a double-bladed lightsaber. Ouch.

Are there any player armors you can wear that have the neck/shoulder scarf thingy that the guy on the left is wearing? Not looking for this armor specifically, just any that have the scarf. It would look rad on an operative.

Man Shadow of Revan ends on such a down note. I also couldn't start KOTFE from the ship mission console like it wanted me to, I had to launch it from the chapters dialogue. Which makes me think I missed a dialogue with Darth Marr that kind of annoys me. I also accidentally skipped the intro cinematic like an idiot, will have to go back and watch that.

Get the Dromund Kaas apartment stronghold if you haven't already got it for a whopping 5k* credits and decorate the crap out of the initial entrance room in whatever manner you so desire to celebrate the time of the year which it currently is. Christmas or whatever.

The rules:
1) Initial DK apartment entrance room is the only room we're using
2) 100 decoration limit (which is the amount the room unlocks with)

Deadline: 7th January 2017

Judging will probably be Medullah and myself, unless anyone else wants to help pick winners.

Prizes: Nonentity's fabulous new Unstable Peacemaker's lightsabers plus other goodies from the vault.


*Apparently on sale at the moment for a measly 5 credits.

The only difference between Story and Veteran is how much damage the mobs do and it's not trivial.

Basic attacks from Standard mobs do 25-40k when most people have less than 100k HP.

Not to bad with a comp (I did them all in 208 PvP gear) but there are quite a few times you don't have a comp especially in KotFE. Those times it was all my DCD's and LoS just to survive the 3 Skytrooper pack.

I'm trying hard to get into this but it just feels really slow. Maybe it is because I am doing flashpoints solo and it goes quicker with groups, maybe because it is playing a guardian (haven't tried any other classes). I'll keep going and see if it gets better but I also got eso and the combat there is much more satisfying so I don't know. I wish this game had combat like Jedi Knight: Outcast or Jedi Academy...slowly whittling down bosses over 5 minutes with a light saber feels wrong and not satisfying.

For real question: Is there something wrong with this expansion? There's only 4 people in the guild on a Saturday afternoon and I've had a hypercrate up for sale for a day with no buyers. Did BW mess something up that's keeping everyone away? This game felt a lot more active after KOTFE release.

Just speaking for myself, but I was already questioning the time I spend on this game after the DvL grind, starting to feel like the 40 hours or so it took to get the eternal or whatever level it was would have been better spent on playing some of my Steam backlog. And then I got annoyed at the walker section of the first KOTET mission and realized I was burnt out so I unsubbed. Maybe if DvL hadn't just happened I would feel differently. Still log in every couple weeks for a few minutes, but haven't finished KOTET and it's going to be a while before I feel like doing so.

That's the benefit of the game being free though, I can come and go as I please so I never really quit altogether. In that regard BW is doing something right.

This was exactly what people said about the previous expansion but it clearly worked for Bioware so I don't reckon they'll be changing the formula. They have implied that they will be adding new raid content in the spring, but I won't hold my breath.
