1) it says digital download. (Only??) No retail copy of it?

2) what engine improvements does it have? I mean hero engine is a bit heavy for mmos, did bioware improved the engine, so we may see multi players in space missions, planet invades, increased view distanse, because now we see objects growing in a very very near view distanse!...

3) if characters level limit increase, all this recent ops will be useless... what about the new ones? Or Bioware will increase the level dificulty of denova, karaga, tfb, EV.

4) add your own questions, so bioware may read and answer.

1) It's in the FAQ.

2) WTH makes you think they will touch anything to do with the engine?

3) It's been answered already.

4) Nah, I don't think so. I'll just make a better thread.

then why they dont fix the distanse view and objects grow... ? its an engine problem. Its the only game I ve played with so limited view distanse... The problem is, that view distanse cannot be tweaked by us... we cant fix it...

You guys should give more information or extend the preorder date. You say Spring 2013 but yet cut off for preorder and getting early access is very early Winter? At least extend it until February or early March to get those still on the fence time for you to give more information about it.

There is no real big Wow Factor with the limited information.

People seem to tweet #FEEDMEMORE for some reason. So Bioware, as far as information goes... follow that hash tag request.

I havent noticed this problem honestly.

When I first log into the Fleet, I do notice it takes a few seconds for everyone to draw in...but as far as what you are describing..it sounds like you can move the slider in your graphics options for draw distance?

Perhaps yours isnt as far over as it can be?

We really do miss a slider to draw distance, it was here in beta if i remember correctly, the game looked rather stunning when you put the slider to maximum and grass etc. stopped popping out in front of you, but they removed it for unknown reasons (problems with performance most likely) and the slider never came back.
Hopefully that particular graphic option will be implemented again.

I'm curious whether they provide any more information before the 7th.

Given how long most companies take off for Christmas and New Year's, I can't imagine them releasing any more information before then.

Which makes me wonder why the date is the 7th? What aren't they telling us? Or more likely, what information do they know about Makeb which might stop people from pre-ordering it?

Most likely the date of January 7 is being used as a way to control how many people will have the 5 day early access.

5 days for 5 levels. I just wonder if they will change it to "up to 5 days". I seem to remember an MMO doing something like that before which ended up after server merges being a waste. I can't quite put my finger on that MMO's name. It's hard to remember it. Oh wait... it was this one.

I have it in the "very high" option... but still, grass, flora, some object grow in a very near distanse.. NOT in the fleet..

In the NPC area, they have reduced fps.. moving like robots, when they are far... I dont know why they did that, but its a bit. frustrating.
