How many of the people that say "Im needing for my companion, I dont care that you are tanking or healing, my companion needs it just as much:mad:" are actually in a guild? Play with friends you know? Would your friends be ok with you taking a piece of gear for your companion over that they could have used? Its basically saying "My companion, an extension of me, deserves this more than you". Its incredibly greedy and if the veil of anonymity wasn't there, chance are you wouldn't be pulling these things.

He really is, there is no denying it. He's also a pretty amazing troll so my hats off to him.

No, it doesn't. Your brain is tricking you into seeing it that way but if you zoom into your character while outside of a conversation you'll notice the disparity of texture quality

There, 1.2. Dont know if I'll still be playing by then, but I like some certainty on the issue.

Stop posting that thing, listen to people that actually know what they are talking about.

Because they disabled them so our clients wouldn't blow up in fleet with another 150 people in screen jumping around?????? Seriously, there is no way that the game is downloading these textures on the fly. The amount of data being transmitted when the servers were at their capacity would have clogged even the mightiest line. It also doesn't explain why a slow connection speed would load the game about as fast as any other computer. e- Basically its the path of least resistance, which is easier to believe? The client has problems rendering textures and other effects such as shadows, AA, etc so they turn them off. Or they have some amazing tech involving data streaming at THIS scale just to protect some IP?

Posting it again since people seem to want to hijack the thread with the remote render issue! People please, the textures are horrible and no, some sort of hyper copy right technique isn't whats causing it.

In case anyone missed it.

It could be whatever Bioware did so Hero acts like a multi threaded program. I seriously doubt its an issue with streaming or anything. You'd notice really bad lag if all of these things were server side, like how FFXIV was during launch.

For the love of god Lemon, I know you are a wizard doing these things. You've made some of the most amazing UI mods I've ever seen. You'll be remembered not as the guy that made the funniest short lived addon in an MMO, but as the guy that un****** SWTORs textures.

Although he's wrong using an absolute term, the vast majority of MMOs have no reason to compress textures like this on their high setting. Because they believe that people are smart enough to chose the option that that suits them the best. Right now, we have two option, bad and worst.

If they spent half the time they spent making butts this good looking (both male and female) optimizing their engines, this wouldnt be a problem.

"I claimed that only people that are not having fun with the game post in these forums. I've posted in here and the other threads several times after saying this" Therefore, I am not having fun in this game :("

"I must whine about people whining, it is the way of the world. It musnt change."

Start the chronometer, lets see how long it takes for this one to fill up. In the meanwhile FFXIV- 2010 http://nightmaremode.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/FFXIV-Armor-1024x576.jpg FFXI- 2002 http://i.imgur.com/T8sel.jpg SWTOR- 2011 http://img859.imageshack.us/img859/7371/swtor2012011110050596.jpg http://i.imgur.com/0lF3U.jpg Outstanding

"Shockingly Ive confirmed that I'm not enjoying the game, as I am here, posting and getting mad about people getting mad about a game"

Make a new thread OP, name it "State of the In game Textures- It is as if a million voices cried out in pain and were suddenly disappointed" I think the name will be too long though

"I am seriously mad about people being mad!"

Just in case you've missed it FFXIV- 2010 http://nightmaremode.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/FFXIV-Armor-1024x576.jpg FFXI- 2002 http://i.imgur.com/T8sel.jpg SWTOR- 2011 http://img859.imageshack.us/img859/7371/swtor2012011110050596.jpg http://i.imgur.com/0lF3U.jpg Outstanding

"Dont mind me, I probably haven't seen the other MMOs posted here from 2002+ that had better armor textures than this game. I still feel justified to complain about people complaining though!"

"I feel that its necessary to create a huge effort post to justify the actions of a multi million (billion?) dollar company that cant do what every other MMO in the market seems to be capable of doing!"

Think of it as body paint. Now its sexier!

"I seriously cant stand people that voice their legitimate complaints about an MMO that they've paid 60-130 dollars on. Maybe Im secretly trying to justify my purchase? We'll see in a few months after another MMO hits the market"

This isn't Reid's fault , he's just the mouth piece for a bunch of people that seriously misunderstand their clientèle. They really do need to fire all the old blood from SOE though, nothing but stagnating ideas in there.

No game has ever forced you to run at the "desired" setting barring physical limitations such as the GPU not being able to output DX10 or 11 effects. (correct me if Im wrong, I've never played all PC games) I think most pc developers are ok with the consumer choosing whether they prefer a more consistent frame rate or better fidelity.
