I don't get it.. if they allready have the high res settings available.. why don't they just release them and let the players mind about performance?.. if their rig can't handle it, they can turn it back down to minimum.
It's worse to advertise high res settings and not deliver them than to give them to the players and worry about performance later or something.
I know I'd rather be known as a bad programmer who tried than a liar.
..Cake..
Skyrim and this are PRETTY far apart mate.
..Cake..
Come on now. We're talking about miniscule differences in textures. I've been looking at some post on the TOR forums and the differences are so damn small. Tell me people aren't blowing this a bit out of proportion.

I mean really folks? Really? Like I said, if it upsets some of you that much, just move on to another game.
The graphics look pretty damn good in the cinematic cutscenes.
Also, I never have my camera zoomed in that far because it effects gameplay (can't see anything around me)
So, unless I'm taking tons of screenshots to show off my phat loots... umm... why should I care if the game is fun to play and I'm having a good time with my friends?
I mean, it's not like I couldn't edit my settings files or whatever if I really cared all that much...
If that's how your shit looks on high, i think you need a new card dude. I run a NVID GT 430 on a 8 yrear old comp and my low setting doesn't and couldn't look like that.
I'm aware of that, but the way some folks around here are carrying on, you'd think that Bioware promised that the game would look as good as Skyrim.
Of course, it's not these forums without insane drama over the smallest details. None of this should surprise me anymore.
Maybe you should put on your glasses and take another look mate... the game looks like WoW now.... that game is SEVEN YEARS OLD.
And i do intend to move on... i canceled my sub immediatly. The issue is that had i known i would have never handed over 60 bucks in the first place
"Don't mistake a fun game for a good game... Checkers is fun to play but its not exactly the highest point of gaming design... and definatly not worth $60 plus $15 a month"
When I get home, I'll post some pic's of MY game on High right now... for some reason, they look MUCH better then yours.
You had people back in the earliest beta tests complaining about this issue, and BioWare completely ignored all complaints, but only now, close to a month after release is there a large enough outcry over this that BioWare could no longer simply ignore the issue. Overall, I think it's a pretty big deal. Most people think SW:TOR looks like crap anyway, and now players are stuck playing with muddy armor textures for the foreseeable future because one can only suppose that the game engine BioWare chose for the game simply can't handle them in regular gameplay.
For me, the issue wouldn't be so bad had BioWare actually given players an indication of what the game really looked like through normal gameplay rather than screenshots using high resolution textures. They knew about this issue, but they clearly were in no mood to acknowledge it until they were absolutely forced to do so.
Let the buyer beware. So long.
Yeah bro thats cool...
but we do care... like i keep saying... if i had known... i would have kept my money

You guys who say graphics don't mean much, try to grasp that some people, not a lot but some, actually went out and upgraded their rigs just to play this game on max settings. The uproar alone yesteday when Reid came out and said only those with low end rigs were having fps issues, on my ventrillo server, was enough to make me logg off early. I can only imagine what some of those guys will do tonight after they invested money upgrading their computers for this game, and now to see this.
WoW survived 8 years of MMORPG.com and official forum gripes over the graphics.
Because people enjoyed the game play.
It is indeed rather funny what people seem to care so much about.
All like,
"I am enjoying myself playing this wonderful game, but unless I can see the thread holes in the buttons on my character's overcoat I shall rage quit this game!"
When in reality, they are still playing but just LOVE the sound of their own bitching.
Always be something to complain about in ANY MMORPG. Enjoy playing the game, or don't. Leave the rest to the kids.
the game is not patched yet... these are ptr photos... this is what it WILL look like soon

The difference is blizzard said they were putting pandas before I bought the expansion, not after
"I am not a robot. I am a unicorn."
Sad to say but that is life man.
Spend a few hundred on a fancy date with a beautiful lady and still don't get any action.
You have a right to be upset, but no one wants to sit and listen to you complain about it over, and over, and over, and over.
Just a "yeah that sucks bro" and move on.
(By "you" I don't mean YOU Bunks just using "you" as a general statement in the story)
I don't think it matters if they PROMISED high res or the EULA lets them take it out or whatever. My feeling is that we EXPECT to have high res this day and age. Moreover, all the research I did beforehand "images videos," decidedly led me to believe I was getting into a modern fully mmorp game. I was decieved into buying low res? More like I was decieved into buying Richard Gariot's new ultima for 100 bucks only to find out it is in fact a facebook game. They should have let us know how INCREDIBLY simple it is. I mean, that info was out there, but damn.... I was not expecting this at all. (worse)
As far as the difference between cutscene and gameplay graphics goes? If people can't tell the difference, and the gameplay graphics are admittedly bad, then doesn't that mean that the game's graphics in whole are bad?
same also with 8xS AA and 2x Sparse grid the game actually looks high res and really go to me.. ill get some shots later tonight... BUT thats not the issue here its just another option getting taken away much like the almost universally liked match to chest option we had at beta.
I actually with nvidia inspector settings get the ingame armor to looks almost as good as screenshot armor.. and with reasonable framerate but I do have a good gaming rig...

SSHHHHHH stop arguing guys I'm sure we all want to see the counter picture.
I'm not doubting either I really want to see this.
I might get banned for this. - Rizel Star.
I'm not afraid to tell trolls what they [need] to hear, even if that means for me to have an forced absence afterwards.

Common Sense Logic = P2P logic is no better than F2P Logic.
You dont have to sit and listen...
We are not out in the streets screaming at you from outside your house.... looky looky
we even made our own thread to bitch about it
sooo yeah
"Don't mistake a fun game for a good game... Checkers is fun to play but its not exactly the highest point of gaming design... and definatly not worth $60 plus $15 a month"
? The graphics as they are now ingame, is how the graphics will be, at least for now until they find a means to have the highest res textures in regular gameplay w/o major performance drops in some occasions. If you're claiming that graphics will get worse after the next patch, then you're mistaken.and they didn't tell you it was a furry black and white bug that YOUR computer was causing you to see.
but aren't we all having so much fun?
While reading this whole thread. A question popped in my mind. Why do people settle for less when it is clear that something better has been shown. Only thing people want are the graphics that they show in the cut-scenes out in the open world. That is it, nothing more, nothing less. Yet for some odd reason people defending BW seem to believe others want Crysis style graphics. They just want the graphics shown during beta and at the conventions.
Paying to get less, that makes no sense to me.
BOOYAKA!
true
