I have found it really annoying when you pug and all ADHD kids are spamming space bar in chat like they have a macro just for that. Good news is, I don't think you can tell who has chosen not to spam space bar, i've yet to be kicked from a group because I enjoy the story aspect of the game.

Then you shouldn't play this game. If they don't do maintenance, and introduce the fixing of major bugs, then your game experience will quickly degrade. Any new MMO that isn't on the ball with timely maintenance and bug fixing can expect to not retain a player base, when that happens, the game is a failure.

Instead of inflaming all the Americans on the board, who bring logical, if harsh points, how about simply making a post telling them that they should consider the fact that European players paid the same amount (perhaps more depending which country you're actually in) as the US players. You're just asking to be flamed, and all the American kids you likely just inflamed, won't give a hoot about you or the other players in Europe.

Thank you so much. This is what I wanted, and as long as the relationship between the players and the devs are good, i'll be more than willing to weather through any hardships we all may experience in this wonderful game.

Roll the bones..

It's all about the social elements, even server exclusive dungeon finders are harmful to the community.

Heh, looks like he ran out of troll juice. So I wonder if someone who works at BW is reading this. If they are, then they ought to consider how much better it is for their bottom line to communicate over being silent.

It's because consoles, which the majority of gaming are done on at the moment, still use DX9, once you see the next gen AKA current gen come out, you're going to see many more PC games take advantage of modern tech, of course they won't be taking advantage of the far more advanced stuff that PC will be using by the time the next gen of consoles go commercial.

Why don't you try? Just choose something to argue against, you have already shown that you are more than capable of putting up an argument sp please do so, how about starting with the fact that graphics are SCALABLE! You can play with me in a group in TOR with low rez graphics while I could use high rez graphics.

That is moot if high is only low at best in the first place. And you know what? Yeah, they SHOULD be happy that their friend who has a much nicer PC than them can take advantage of it. Why should a company cater to envious people who want everyone else to have to play with terrible settings because they chose to stick with an ancient computer? A rig that can play those high end games aren't even that expensive, I could build a system that can run Crysis 2 with DX11 settings for less than 800 dollars, even less, I could probably squeeze 700 or 600.

This is a flawed argument. You won't alienate your base if the game, like all MMOs have graphic settings that scale the game. Low can look like WoW and run on the oldest settings. Medium can have more bells and whistles and run on a more modern system. High can have all the wonderful modern graphics we enjoy. Hell you don't even have to do it that way. You can specify each feature and detail what it does. So you have an PC that will run X modern game fine save for the insane physic engine that makes your CPU cry? Fine, turn it down a bit. Those soft shadows killing your game? No problem we've got lower shadows than that, or turn them off! The lighting is killing your FPS? No problem we have HDR to bloom to none at all, make a choice. Bottom line, graphics scale and the above argument doesn't make much sense.

No, graphically the same on the screen you're looking at that displays the game. Now please do me a favor, and read these words carefully: The game's graphics AKA the textures, lighting, how much grass you see at a distance etc. Have not changed at all, they are exactly the same. The performance of the game AKA how fluid animations are, the frames per second, sound matching what you're doing, better combat because you aren't playing a snapshot, etc are the only things that will improve because you upgraded your CPU, fans, memory, etc.

No i'm not, you think your game looks better because you upgraded the hard ware, what i'm telling you it is graphically the same, it merely performs better, there is a key difference between performing better and looking better.

He's getting that logic from fact. You can only get what was designed for the game. The only way a game will LOOK better opposed to simply performing better is if you couldn't use certain features in the game because your old card didn't support it but the new one does. So for example, let's say I have a card from last year, that has all the modern technologies to run this game, yet the game doesn't perform very well because the card isn't powerful enough to run it any better than 5 FPS, so I can see all of the bells and whistles of a maxed out game, but it's more like a snap shot because of the horrendous FPS. Let's say I play this same game on a card made 8 years ago and doesn't have support for lighting shaders 3.0 and above, etc. When I play the game, aside from running badly, I won't see the awesome lighting effects and higher textures that it's capable of, but when I upgrade to a modern card, I would, and there would be that massive of a difference. You said you didn't upgrade your video card, so any graphical improvements are in your head, it's ok, happens to all of us at least once when we spend hundreds to upgrade our rigs. What you are seeing is much better performance AKA much higher FPS, which makes the game run far smoother, and the animations look better, etc.

Buying this game gives me the same feeling I got a year after election 08

Tried that compatibility fix to see if it helped, sadly, it did not.

Precisely, if it simply isn't technically possible anytime soon, then say so, but don't treat us like idiots. Relationship between player and dev is incredibly important in an MMO. Those of you who accept it, and feel Bioware doesn't owe us a single word on it, are the reason that MMOs degrade in quality. How else are we to hold them accountable? They have to think of customers as share holders, because we are giving you a constant stream of money. If they treat this like any old product, sell it to me, and not worry about the after because they got my money, then they don't deserve my sub.

Another example for you, I think this chest piece makes it especially obvious: http://i42.tinypic.com/fkmc8w.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/11h6xyv.jpg This is on all settings maxed out, notice that it's the exact same pic, anyone who chalks this up to lighting is either trolling hard or is in serious denial.

Viva la high res textures!!!

You should make sure to report that anyway, it appears that this is how gold farmers have been farming credits.

I enjoy this game, have had a lot of fun with it so far. As of now however, I won't be resubbing because of issues like this. Not because it exists however, it's not realistic for there to be no glaring issues when the game isn't even a month old yet, however I the way Bioware has treated the community through beta and up till now, tells me I won't be able to enjoy a good relationship with Bioware, and there is nothing worse than playing an MMO where the devs give off the aura that they don't give a damn.

You can be a jerk, or choose to move on and not waste your time, your choice.

Complaining doesn't =/= constructive criticism, be sure not to mix the two up.

Move along folks, this is a troll scene, nothing to see here, move along.

I really would love to see some crisp, HD textures, would make a world of difference in this game.
