Slicing is a gathering skill. Underworld Trading is a mission skill.

 

Correct me if I've misunderstood but, you were lamenting going back to the starter worlds to lvl the skill used to get the blue/purple crafting materials after dropping slicing near 50 yes? Leveling your crafting skill on greens using the relevant gathering skill so you would level with Cybertech, Salvaging and slicing. Then dropping the slicing for Underworld trading wich you would have to lvl through companion missions so you would'nt need to go back to previous planets.

On another note, amazon just sent my copy of SWTOR this evening so I'll be able to play straight through on the 20th.

 

I really hope I get in today. People who pre-ordered up until the 24th of November are in, I did it on the 30th. The last 3 waves have let people who ordered 7 days apart, so one more wave should do the trick.

 

Strike that and reverse it, I've already leveled Underworld trading quite a bit, and I don't want to go back to the previous two worlds just to re-level slicing so that when I get to level 50 I can drop it and re-level underworld trading. again. >.> If I had thought of that before I got deeper into the game, I would have been following the suggestion made herein, but I CBA to go back over the planets just to level a skill.

Especially since my server is one of the few 'very heavy' population server and I doubt the nodes are in as little demand as they are on some others.

 

Ah I see, I thought you were talking about a theoretical charachter.

I'm also quite disappointed at how easy the space missions are so far, just finished the 2nd lot of tier 2 for todays dailies.

 

Got my early access now, so I know what I'll be up to tomorrow. If I'm up for sitting up in my chair that is, damn surgery complications.

 

I'm on the "Helm of Graum" server. If you guys want to add me, if you don't already have server plans.

 

Is there some kind of DLP guild going on? I wouldn't mind getting in on one if there is, at the very least it gives some people we can all level with.

 

Did you mean Helm of Graush, because that's where I am too, on Empire side.

I go by Algol.

 

Beta was running smoothly for me but now I've got only about 20 fps -.- Which kinda ruins the game experience. Any of you guys know how I can improve the performance? I've allready set all graphic options to the minimum.

 

What kind of video card do you have? If it's an ATI I know you can force a lot of things off in the Control Center. That might work, and it did for me. I had to make sure I wasnt running AA or anything else.

 

I've got a nvidia geforce m gt 9000. According to www.systemrequirementslab.com the CPU is the problem.

Minimum: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4000+ or better, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 2.0 GHz or better You Have: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4200 @ 2.00GHz

 

Ctrl+Shift+F displays your fps, apparently if the text is green its your gpu that is limiting it, red for CPU.

 

Try updating you drivers, my cpu is actually worse than that and my fps is fine with settings on medium/high. I do have INCREDIBLY long load times(like 3-4 minutes just to get into game, 45 seconds to load a flashpoint).

 

Yeah it is green but according to the system requirements my graphic card is fine :S

Mhh....afte reinstalling the graphics driver it has gotten a bit better. But I'm still at 29 FPS -.-

 

Make sure you turn shadows off. When I logged in for the first time the game was literally unplayable and I was tearing my hair out, but as soon as I realized that "low" was not the lowest setting for shadow graphics the game ran just fine.

 

Just a heads up for whenever you guys get to Taris.

There is currently a memory leak issue on the planet, which will at some places at some times for most people cause severe lag resulting in crashes. This is confirmed by bioware and they've been working on a fix since beta apparantly. We'll be 'updated' when they have more news.

Current "self-fixes" for this problems are slim. Ways I and my irl friends have avoided immediate server crashes and thus being stuck in an infinite loop of crashes has been either
1) Quicktravel the fuck away asap.
2) Manage to untrack all quests in the questlog.
This has to be done within 30 seconds of the start of the lag(1f/5s roughly) or you're goner.

Take notice that this sometimes only pushes the crash ahead by a few minutes.

Tips is to avoid questing in Taris if your realm currently has a queue in order to avoid unecessary downtime. Do your quests there on odd hours.

Good luck.

 

Juggernaut Tank has really slow skill progression when it comes to actual tanking abilities. Meaning that by the late twenties you have serious issues with mob control that supposedly last into the thirties for a bit.

After that it's supposed to get better, and alot of folks say the classes are all balanced by 50. But apparently mid-game is terrible for Juggernaut tanks.

Compare it to the 'Hell Levels' in EQ. But at 25-35ish instead.

Also, Juggernauts are much more complex than just about any other class out there to tank with/play correctly, later in the game. Something like 16 abilities that are all important and not really ignorable/need to be on your bar and tracked and juggled the usage of at the correct moment.. pretty much 24/7.

21 if you include secondary abilities for better damage/extra utility.

You have been forewarned.
