If you advertise a product as one thing, and you deliver a lesser thing, that is illegal. Whether a lawyer would take on EA's legal team over it is an entirely different question. But I don't need to file a suit to cause EA/Bioware trouble. I can file a complaint with the FTC and my state AG and file a complaint with the BBB. I purchased this product based upon the screenshots and videos which EA/Bioware released, which all clearly contain high resolution textures which are not actually available to me to play with.

So, If you look in the "Media" menu at the top of the page and then click screenshots, you will see that all of the screenshots (which is how Bioware and EA represent the game's level of detail/look/presentation) feature the high resolution textures which players cannot currently activate. Furthermore, the next patch claims to have fixed this problem, but what they have really done is simply re-named the current medium quality textures to "high", removed the "medium" option and left the current low res textures as they are. They claim this actually is unlocking the high resolution textures for us, but they are lying. They are misrepresenting the visual quality of their product in their advertising on this very website, while lying to us in an attempt to get us to subscribe to the game under the assumption that these high resolution textures are actually going to be present and available to us in the patch coming "Soon™", which I guarantee is going to come after the 20th. There's really no nice way to put it. They are misrepresenting their product in advertising. They are lying in the propaganda about what's coming in the next patch, and they refuse to answer their customers. So I think it's time to demand an answer. My subscription to this game will be permanently lost if this is not answered. Furthermore, if this post mysteriously disappears, I will simply file complaints with the FTC and my state's attorney for product misrepresentation (The company represented one product to me while actually delivering a lesser product, commonly referred to as a "bait and switch"). Maybe someone knows a lawyer who wants to make a name for himself by filing a class action? ****** Or maybe a Bioware rep will come onto the forums and be honest with us and explain why the advertised graphics have been taken away from us and why devs lie to us in the very few instances in which they have even addressed the issue. I won't be holding my breath though.

You know what really sucks? Their internal builds obviously have the high res textures ... go look at the media screenshots area ... they're all the high res textures.

It's simple. Sometime in the next 12 days they will enable me to turn on the textures which already exist and which my system can handle, or I will cancel my currently set-up 6 month subscription and never look back. Re-labeling the awful Medium textures to "High" and calling that a "fix" is a lie and I don't make a habit of paying companies that behave toward me as if I were an idiot.

So, With a very few exceptions, every server has a queue right now. It is prime time East coast and coming into prime time west coast. Most of us in early access are playing in guilds and already have a good amount of levels and crafting and investment in our guild/characters on the server. On release day, there are going to be a rather large number of additional people thrown into the mix. And while I'm sure that bioware is standing by to bring new servers online, will that really solve the looming crisis? There are already queues just with the pre-order players, and you have to expect that many of the launch day and first week or two new players are going to be coming to play with friends ... who are playing on servers which already have queues. New servers doesn't help when people want to play with their friends. Telling people to "stop whining and go play on a server without a queue" isn't really appropriate when all their friends are on the server they're waiting to play on. Bioware doesn't seem to have a clue or a plan for this.
