..but he's wondering if his moneys worth spending. People can let him know what the end-game content is like(if OP hasn't gotten their yet) which can be big deciding factor to whether or not to subscribe. As well as knowing about what needs to be fixed and when it will be.

there's an article on pc.ign.com about patch 1.1 and it says it'll be out Jan 17th.

Aren't we also comparing swtor with low-res textures(before they fix them for hi-res) to WoW's hi-res textures?

no you don't. Remember "average" for every part of the game, pvp/open world/flash points...ect

According the the new IGN article talking about patch 1.1, it will be coming out on Jan. 17th. So lvl 50 brackets in five days.

I'm not an expert in this field, but can someone correct me if I'm wrong. Does it cost Bioware/EA more money to be running servers that gamers are processing other characters with hi-resolution textures? Would it take more information to send/receive since the textures files are larger? If this is true, then I can see why they want to optimize it.

They already said they are working on a fix, why do you need an explanation? Maybe it's embarrassing to say what it was? Either way the only thing that matters is they're working on a fix.

Why? You really think Bioware is not going to fix the hi-rez textures? Otherwise why worry that they might make medium the new high. It's not going to happen because they already said they are working on a fix for this.

Bioware already acknowledged they are working on a fix for this as well as the green lazer-light show glitch going on. They posted on another thread about 5 or so days ago. It's not going to make much of a difference to keep asking for a response. They'll get it done when they get it done. I can understand being mad paying for a game that doesn't even have high-res textures working, but we can only be patient.

Not only is there new content, but also a good size list of bug fixes. Nice going Bioware

I agree they should. My point is he says it's a "missed opportunity". He didn't say it was a missed opportunity for launch, but in general. This is not the case.

In the gamespot review, one of the three negatives was "Shallow space combat is a missed opportunity.". That opportunity isn't missed and is rather being brought to reality.

Oh I'm sure they'll always be around. My thoughts are the reason they whine is because they're not going to stop playing the game. Otherwise why would you whine about a game you're done playing?

Right? What makes it even greater is the MMO additions to it. Well done bioware.

These comparisons are made to show that TOR isn't the first to fail in these areas. It's just the nature of MMO's. They obviously rushed the game to get it out right before Christmas. So the question is are you happy you got to play the game earlier, or would you have rather waited and had a more polished game. I believe the majority would have rather played the game earlier.
