My summary on the situation.

Good

- Game looks good on max settings (plus I messed around with 3d Nvidia settings, may have helped).

- Game, for me, runs amazing FPS even in high pop areas and warzones.  Its very fluid.

Bad

- If everyone gets high rez textures and it slows the FPS down and we all end up getting lag then I don't want it.  The minimal visual improvement is not worth game playability

Ugly

- Regardless EA should have come clean and stated up front to a mostly mature audience.  We can do this but based on numbers if we did it would ruin gameplay.  We will endeavour to introduce when we think it can be supported.

Job done and dusted but the lack of comms is the issue here.  I don't want textures if it stuffs up everything else.  I played some older MMO's last night when the patching was going on and they look very poor in comparison.

How will hires textures on my box give -you- lag?

Hm so much anger I sense. ^^

Well, I can live with it, but the med rez texture on the clothing/armour is the only thing that really bothers me. I wish they had the choice the activate those. In the end, why not give players the choice what setting works on their computer?

All the others mmorpgs burger as the dude said, look the same on my pc than on their vids.

Besides, in Asia generally but more specifically in Singapore, the big mac u get in ur box looks exactly the same than the big mac u have on the picture above the cashier, it's just a matter of technique XD.

hahaha exactly , i was like W T F ?? guys if you don't know shit, don't discuss with the "pro's"

Lol especially the "pros" : game runs smooth even on super high settings... There's no super high settings dude.

I think this game runs super smooth on a 1998 rig, just needs an IBM 486 SLC with 256MB of ram to run it.

The game looks great haveing a blast playing

 

Who F****** cares about the high res textures, enjoy the f****** game

 

That's like saying who cares if you look good just leave the house as you are no one will care. Logical fallacy for the evening.

Game runs fine and looks good to me.  People saying the graphics are from 1990 are clueless drama queens.  Yes, I've seen MMOs with better graphics, but not many.  The sad truth is that those MMOs with better graphics didn't keep me playing anyway, and I'm assuming they didn't keep the complainers here playing either.  Otherwise, they would be happy with their shiney graphics and not bitching here about SWTOR.  Wierd, huh?

Incorrect. He's saying that he's leaving the house and having a good time regardless of what others think. As long as he is liking what he sees in the mirror, to hell with others. 

The correct analogy would be him saying "Who cares about looking good, just go out and enjoy yourself". That's actually exactly what he said.  To which you could argue... "I care about looking good!" In whcih case, you would also have a valid argument. These issues are way to subjective to contain any fact. It's just personal opinion.

Did you know that you mention "logical Fallacy" in almost all your post...lol. 

As far as the OP - in the interest of staying on topic, I'm glad they are working on the tightening of the graphics. Makes me all fuzzy.
