Texture resolution.....

I have the grass growing in place as I run thing going on too. Because of the lushness of the grass, it's almost as if hills and stuff are growing as I run across the landscape. Very disorienting.

Someone told me it's a bug and I need to turn down the quality of the grass. I'm hoping they fix it in the future, but these little problems aren't enough to make me stop playing the game. The core aspect of the game is still attractive enough for me to continue playing.

After my 30 day trial and my 3 month sub are up, if some of these problems are still around with no sign of being fixed, I may go and do something else, but I trust that they'll get these issues ironed out.

People still don't understand why the graphics are the way they are? They are doing what WoW did, making the game accessible to as many computers as possible, including crap computers. While I doubt we will ever get higher resolution textures I don't really care because gameplay>graphics. Just look at minecraft for anyone who plays and enjoys that.. That game is all gameplay no graphics, I absolutely love it. Seems the kiddies these days just care about graphics. If it doesn't have good graphics its not a good game!

Blame it on gears of war and whatever else everyone is playing.

People would run MMO's much smoother if they used a proper engine.
I can't force it with my 580GTX though I can change the ini files.
Still the AA and textures just look bad, hope they can do something with it.

But I doubt the game can do a lot with this engine.

As has been sort of pointed out before:

graphics scaleability =/= the game being unplayable on cruddy computers

You can have high quality graphics that look great and can only be run on high end computers AND still have low end settings that make the game playable on much much lower end machines. Case in point: LOTRO. That game is playable on a really wide range of machines and the difference between lowest and highest graphics is day and night.

In comparison SWTOR's graphics scale very little and as I also said before there aren't any 'high end' graphics settings that really take advantage of powerful systems besides the shadows and you can argue that those are WAY too heavy compared to the result they give.


The issue with these things is that if no one complains, nothing will ever change. We'll always be stuck with subpar WoW graphics just because 'WoW does it'. I cannot express how much I loathe this type of reasoning. Just because one game did it, doesn't make it right. WoW is like the "console platform" of MMO gaming, it is really aged and yet everyone is still using it as the excuse of 'why we can't have nice things'.

The thing is that yes, we CAN have nice things and it doesn't have to affect those whose PC's aren't able to handle it. It doesn't even need to affect their download/install size if it comes down to it. LOTRO/DDO had an optional high texture pack. You didn't have to install that, but it was there for those who wanted it and it made the game look really good, something that didn't go unnoticed in many a review.

People still don't understand what scalability means?

I like how u call us kiddies. How old are you? How long have been gaming? Its sad that you lack basic PC/gaming knowledge at your age.

Qweet u need to educate yourself before you post another embarrassment. Thanks!

Here's a shot of my character taken at maximum video settings. Are we thinking the chest texture is bugged or that it's meant to look like this?

Good to know if its a bug. i was afraid it was the way they wanted to handle fadeing...phew.

Let's hope all this texture and graphics stuff gets fixed before launch !!

yup..this picture sais it all.... that is BW version of high detail settings...

system set on high:

i7 core
GTX 580
8 gigs ram

i guess we could have used a lot les...but ok...build mine for skyrim !!

My game looks the same on max settings on my GTX 580

Are you kidding? These are the same people who took an AWESOME IP like Warhammer and destroyed it with their game.
