Um... the entire game is on your hard drive. The information is still transferred over the internet. Graphic quality does effect lag, that's why MMOs never, ever have the best quality graphics. Granted I'm not a programmer or anything and don't know the specifics, but I can make the inference that it is an issue since all MMOs keep the graphics to a minimum.

Age of Conan had great graphics, so good most people couldnt even run it on the highest settings.

Did that do the game a lot of good on launch?

I'm really into graphics aswell and always try to play it as high as possible. But i do understand why the graphics are what they are now in this mmo.

I never thought about it before, but thats it exactly, some things look incredible, while others in the same area like like crap.

You know what? I get a lot more out of this artistically than I did out of BF3. Looooot more imagination both in design and portrayal in this studio than a certain number of franchises that keeps grinding out the same meticilously detailed STANAG magazines year after year.

BF3 had similar issues imo, the characters looked dated while the terrain looked great.

they didn't look dated, its just that we've seen exactly the same type of character in a billion other games.

in my opinion, the gfx are slightly better than beta - and AA is on its way very shortly.

id just like to point out that this game is AN MMO and NOT BATTLEFIELD 3

what other MMO's do you see where the you are running around with next gen gfx?! for an MMO, id say this game looks pretty damn fantastic..


get. over. it. already. and. enjoy. the. game. . . sigh.

First of all...I got in last night, plus I was in the beta....I played and played and played.....great game....but I am one of the people that really has a problem with bad graphics...for me it can be game breaking.

And to make things clear....I like the art stile and the models, so it's not a question about that.

I forgot to take some screenshots of what I’m talking about, but it's old news to many of you.

Some of the textures are ok I guess, but when you get close to a rock or a ship or a building, textures look really fuzzy and washed out...and no..iI'm not looking at it with a magnifier..it's easy to see the low quality.

This is something you would expect from a game from 2000-2004 (Texture wise).

I just don’t get it. Yes they want everyone to be able to play the game, but what about the rest of us.

It's like saying... "Not all can buy a great looking sports car, so now people can only buy small cheep a** cars".....that’s fine...but what if someone wanted to buy that sports car..should he not have the option ?

If SWTOR had a ULTRA option in graphics settings....then we could use that, and people with problems could turn it down. At middle settings the game would look like it does now ??

I love the game, but graphics are just ..... OLD.

Hope this will change in a Patch...even AA and AF would be a big help (Yes you can turn it on in the .ini file...but still)

Sorry for the rant...just think it's crazy thinking from a company like BioWare

Am i really the only one... (Expecting a lot of short posts saying..."YES")

Any way....see you in game
This game looks pretty good to me. I meant its not witcher 2 or skyrim but definately not a 12 years old game. I don't understand why they disable AA and HDR lightning though. Although you can enable these features using a "not recommended" method.

No, they looked dated, especially in the cut scenes in single player, the characters in Doom 3 looked as good and that game is how old?
