You know, a game named Dark Age of Camelot had this setting available back in 2002.

So, to make a long story short: "While every other MMORPG out there can handle highres textures and tons of randomly equipped players on screen, and leave the performance vs quality decision up to the player, we went ahead and left you with no choice other than crappy or crappier textures for character models that even 10 years old Dark Age of Camelot had better ones". Seriously Bioware, I love you, but cut the crap...

What he said. I really respect Bioware, but I'm sure a lot of customers and competitors are going to laugh at what will be posted to answer the lack of high textures.

I agree with what you say about the game needing a true NbG loot system (class, not just heavy/med/light; a dumb dps merc ninjaed me (Jugg tank) a heavy chest with STR/END/DEF bonuses, just cause he could wear it); I disagree with everything else, I love the companion system.

I know there's a lot of whiners that wants to run every new game on their freaking onboard intel 3000 graphic device; there's also lot of guys with incredible machines that fail to acknowledge that there could be a problem just cause their thousand dollar monster can handle it; there's also people who doesn't know about their fps, but are just fanboi and reject everything you criticize... Then at last there's people just like me, with a good PC, that have 60+ fps everywhere, but it dips to 10+/- as soon as you enter even the smallest shack in the middle of the tatooine desert, that instead of complaining and leave, submit a ticket, and wait for a fix. So for everyone, also naysayers, whiners and fanbois, here it is, just look at the very bottom of the list: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=958025#edit958025 TL;DR: The Interiors FPS bug has been fixed.

8 hours maintenance until 5PM is just insane, I don't care about it because I'm going to be at work, but not everyone is. Everquest 2 had EU maintenance times back in early 2005, and SOE is know for NOT listening to its customers, so I can't really understand why Bioware is ignoring the problem, EU servers are physically in Europe anyway.

I felt the datacrons where too easy to get on the first planets, but when I got to Nar Shaddaa I was really happy to find that there was some skill involved in getting them (since finding them, if you're not into exploring, is easy with youtube). It was fun on Tatooine, there was about 10 of us on that baloon, 1 didn't make the first jump, and 5-6 failed the jump for the second datacron, there was a lot of swearing around; I'm afraid to think of the nightmare it could be to get that dc on a pvp server . Anyway, it's true that the jumping is a little glitchy sometimes (often the character moves forward instead of jumping forward), I needed 3 tries to get the kiosk one on NS, because my char became stuck inside it and as soon as I moved the char fell off through the kiosk, hard is hard, glitchy is glitchy.

I've heard you can drop one off Mace Windu!
