How the game looks is mostly good IMO....
Shadows are bad.
Engine is crap.

And no I never said I expect these games to be as amazing in graphics as single player experiences/other games.. that's why I compared it to other MMOs.

Sorry if a few of the pictures are of old/wrong game.. thats all I could find on google search.

Point being is, unless they unlock the actual high resolution textures and more graphic tweaking options, we are going to have to deal with a medium graphics game. Those 3 pictures that one guy posted, thats great... but it shows no real detail in anything.
you compared it to single player games in every post afterwards.......

Pretty much this, especially the 1994 shadows and the DX9 rendering engine

To be fair, that reply was to this post by another user:

Otherwise my game looks better than that, and having just aquired a PS3 and some games I can safely say TOR looks better than anything on the PS3 I have played so far.
Now, in my opinion, the game looks okay. I would have preferred a different engine that maybe looked a bit more realistic instead of stylized, but this is just as fine. At least it doesn't look like Clone Wars Adventures.

And off-topic, I enjoy FFXIV. I can't wait for v2.0 to come out.

I'm pretty sure that some of the pics you used aren't actual gameplay footage....
I could not agree more

Graphics have been getting better, since they unlocked the "high" option again, and have been working on optimizations so people can actually use the highest settings.

That said, the shadows are still pretty poor. And there are still some pretty low-res textures floating around.

The environments and effects are pretty nice. The player models and textures are excellent for an MMO.

If they had implemented dx11 instead of dx9 we could have gotten even better graphics, perhaps with tessellation + a boost in performance due to the dx11 multi-threading optimizations.

Graphics aren't everything in a game. If they were, the terrible, grindy asian MMOs would have 10's of millions of paying subs.

OK, I wouldn't go that far but they're a lot better now since the AA and texture work, far from amazing though.

I actually find the graphics to be quite good in SWTOR, especially since its an MMO and you sometimes have many people on screen as opposed to single player games.

TSW DirectX 11 > all. Game is amazing looking if you got the rig to handle it, and it doesnt crush your pc trying to run it.

TOR's graphics just reminded me of wow, cartoon network looking.
