[[Official High Resolution Textures Post] Can we get a clarification on this?]

In comparison to single player games and other genres of multiplayer online games, MMOs have much higher variability in the number of characters that can be potentially rendered on-screen at the same time. In MMOs, even though most of the time you'll see a relatively small number of characters on screen, there are certain situations in which many more characters will be seen. Some examples of these situations include popular gathering places in-game (in our case, the two fleets), Operations with large teams, and Warzones. In those scenarios the client (and your PC) has to work hard to show off a lot of characters on-screen.

 

Can't you 'just add' an limitation slider? To limit the maximum number of visible characters that are rendered at high quality? I have seen this option in more games, if I remember correctly EQ2 also has an option like this.

 

Since the replies here go way to fast I haven't read through the entire topic, so someone might have already mentioned this.

[Mod stations!]

Actually they should all be removed, since you DON'T need them .

[Make the space station mission easier?]

If you even have a sense of humor you seem to be the only one getting it .

Think they disabled it for performance improvement.

[Im not raging, but this is not a bonus]

please let this post be a troll.

 

I am afraid people are actually serious...

[Why lie? Just be honest Bioware.]

I've done many early starts in MMO's and never have I seen only a select handful of people be let in. If you preorder the game then you get in head start. Now I took the week off for this and I'm not even in yet? I love how they lie to you multiple times, when you order, saying you will get to start early. Also when they send you that e-mail saying the head start is on tuesday so download the client now. This is a terrible way to start out ANY game and I'm considering canceling my pre order now as are 1000's of other people. This launch will go down as one of the biggest EPIC FAIL MMO launches EVER. Congratulations Bioware!

 

They have been very clear about how the early play would be done. They even put a big disclamer at the bottom of the pre-order page explaining everything in detail. They can't help it you ignore all there communication...
