Koenig-O-Riain Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Complaining about MMO graphics is like complaining about lack of RP'ing in a FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notsureyet Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 How are you guys forcing AA? I just bought a gtx 460 and know nothing about that stuff....im guessing in the nvidia program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthchill Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I liked the aesthetics in the beta. I rather have a game that "feels right" than a game with high resolution textures that pushes the technology limits but doesn't have a consistent look and fell. I really recommend this video discussing the topic:Extra Credits - Graphics vs. Aesthetics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyzed Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Some of you nerds need to; 1. Download AoC for free. 2. Set graphics to full on everything 3. Create a character 4. Log in and just pan the camera around 4. Spend the next 20 mins jaw agape in regards to how stunningly beautiful the world is, just in the tutorial area! It on;y gets far better every zone after that. This is a game from 2008. An MMO with barnone, thee best graphics to date. An MMO with graphics that are rarely scene even today in single player games. I love SWTOR and the gfx style chosen, but come on, you people clearly have no idea what else is out there in comparison graphics wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestry Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Graphics got another pass from beta to now. The change was noticable, and the framerate was uneffected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraylessa Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hi-res textures are definitely still missing. When you switch between "Medium" and "High" in the settings, there is absolutely ZERO difference. Both settings are using the same textures. Really hope this gets updated quickly.

Pyrolight Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Did they clean up some of those low res textures that were really noticeable in the Jedi staring zone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntroll Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I heard they are coming out with 'Ludicrous' setting first patch. It's supposed to make your eyes bleed from ecstasy on a 40" monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephi Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Only a handful of games have "impressed" me in the graphics apartment. Just look at some of the more recent games, not that impressive considering how they could have been. Even games like skyrim would have been insanely good looking if it wasn't a poor console port. Yeah, you heard it, CONSOLE port. That is the future of PC gaming. The games are MADE for the console then ported to the PC. So think twice before you go on about graphics being everything, you've clearly seen nothing. Actually, very few games are 'console ports' in comparison to PC games that aren't, but okay. I'm also not sure what that has to do with graphic quality, or with SWToR. Hi-res textures are definitely still missing. When you switch between "Medium" and "High" in the settings, there is absolutely ZERO difference. Both settings are using the same textures. Really hope this gets updated quickly. If you were actually as observant as you claimed, you'd notice that there's a bug with Medium preset, and that Medium preset is the same as High preset. Try swapping between High and Medium, and tell me if anything changes. You need to manually set things to medium, if you want medium settings.

bigheadbrandon Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 No I expect Wow quality textures AT A MINIMUM. Wow was released in 2004 with better graphics than SWTOR has. dont give me that crap. funny joke, don't quit your day job though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infamousdog Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Exactly the same as the beta, whic was crap then and is crap now. then why are you trolling here? im sure there is a new bridge elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hi-res textures disappeared right before the weekend beta people got invited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigheadbrandon Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Quite a few games with EA on the cover have had some strange process of releasing with subpar textures then getting better ones added in a patch months later. MY THEORY is that the higher ups at EA say "who cares what the game looks like just put it out already so we can make money" leaving the devs with the task of making the textures and releasing them "eventually" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athrins Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I can confirm for a fact that my client is fully updated and there is no difference between medium settings and high. I'm hoping they'll update this soon enough. Textures on my character are really disturbing while zoomed in enough to not see your feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraith Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 well, I set everything on high, ect ect, went into my card controls set up 8x AA and maxed out everything thinking my fps were going to take a serious dip. When I alt-tab back to the game, the graphics took an instant step up yet the fps did not dip at all. stayed around 75-92 fps on koriban. This is why they staggered launch. This is why they setup the early release and that is so I would not get smacked with lag issues while in small confined areas. Good Job BW. Now with saying that, I would like to see a Ultra settings put into the game. While I think my rig is nice, I feel having everything maxed out should cause me to dip atleast around 40-50 fps. Not complaining, but I just refuse to believe that I built a computer that works this flawlessly!! either way, I am happy with the game and quality of the environment. I would like to see some imporved textures for the armor and clothing, something a little more polished and flashy! sorry for any spelling errors! dont feel like worrying with propper spelling today!

Try swapping between High and Medium, and tell me if anything changes. You need to manually set things to medium, if you want medium settings. When I manually switch my Texture option from Medium to High and click "Apply" or vice versa, nothing changes. The textures for Medium and High look exactly the same to me. If there's a difference, it must be incredibly subtle. I'm not talking about the Medium and High presets, I'm talking specifically about the Texture drop-down.

Athrins Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Can we just get an official statement on this... 1/3 of all their texture graphic settings not working at all, I think warrants some official attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthKhaos Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Sorry you feel that way but I love the graphics. It has been said before and it will be said gain. "Realistic" graphics by today's standard will look older and outdated VERY soon compared with the art style implemented in the game. Do NOT mistake the choice in art style for poor graphics.

I don't hate the graphics. I just think it's frustrating that my only texture options are "Low" and "Medium". I get that MMO's need to have lesser graphics overall to cater to the lowest-common-denominator. That doesn't bother me. But why have an option in the settings for "High" textures and then not have it actually do anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

engindeniz Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Exactly the same as the beta, whic was crap then and is crap now. lol, totally agreed. ppl still reject to see that graphics are way out-dated for an 2011 mmo. but yeah, they like it and they get it. in the end, they are the majority, and that is what they deserve.
