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

[CKNairb]

Still, you are talking about graphics the equivalent of "Woody" in Toy Story not some involved asian mmo armor. There are very few details, they could at least be sharp.

 

im wearing a Tribal like chest piece, the design isnt blurry and is indeed sharp to the extent of the distance. and i provided pictures, which imo is the average distance the user has their camera. and im basing that on just about EVERY player video of this game on the net. i havent seen a single video of somebody playing it right against their character.

[mArchangel]

You do realize at the distance half the *********** pictures are taken even high resolution textures are going to look like ****? The only thing that this will do is halve the distance before they begin to look like ****.

 

I do but this is not the point! Jesus! At the end of the day the game balls down to getting gear to make your character look flash and then sometimes I like to inspect him and like to be inspected. This is what this is all about. Always has been always will be. I do understand that the graphics are acceptable to an extent, but nowhere near what they ALREADY HAD BEEN!!!

 

Why is this soooo hard to grasp. We had the hires TEXTURES IN BETA!!!!

 

We want stuff back not new things. I want it-you don't care. Fine. Stay off this thread and post somewhere where YOU have concerns. Bye bye

[daMarek]

I think it's time we get another update from BioWare.

 

Good job on improvements in other concerns like ability delay, FPS issues and game crashes, but can we get some new info on this issue please?

[CarverX]

Problem is if all the armors looked this clean

Thanks for driving this forward and being constructive.

I think my entire guild runs the game at -2.0 to -3.0 LOD BIAS to improve sharpness and shine. Hey yeah we are graphical enthusiasts that actually know how to operate a PC and play well AND like to socialise. Strange concept isn't it? LOL

[grucho]

This is one of the features that is a must for me if you want my long term subscription. Sorry but I want best for the money I pay and I know the best is hidden away from me for ridiculous reason.

I run @ about -1.5 -2( honestly I forget as I set it a while ago ) and don't use the ingame AA settings, I force it through the drivers themselves

 

 

And stating what you run doesn't mean SQUAT as there has been multiple threads with walk troughs on how to set those

 

What's your point

The point is this thread is about those that feel we get short changed by the release of this game. If you do not belong to this group I am very glad. Go your way and have fun and stop trying to tell all of us here why it is ridiculous to ask for what we ask for. We have reasons. And we do spend time looking closer at our characters when we are not killing ****.

 

Noone here gives a r.a.t.'s a.s.s about that YOU think it's fine. We think it's not.

 

P.S. I am glad you know how to use your gfx card too. btw. Awesome.

But no of course it does. It increases the distance up to which I will clearly notice a significant difference in sharpness levels and thus makes hires extremely enjoyable. Just go away mate. You are really not helping anyone here nor do you do yourself a favour. You cannot win this argument so give up trolling please. Look I am really polite about all this so far.

[CKNairb]

Yea I know, as I stated in my post there are few reason on why people would be so concentrated on staring at their toons that closely.

[mArchangel]

back to constructiveness:

 

 

Bump!!! Please could we get an update BioWare?

----------------------------

Its not about what other people think is fine... if you think its fine then good **** of the thread and use lower settings after they release the higher res textures. This doesn't pretain to casual gamers or people that cant tell the difference and aren't bothered by not having the best possible image in a game.

 

Its for those that of us that just stop and look at our chars or hang out with friends and have an eye for good graphics and an appreciation for them.

 

I dont know why people are even trying to argue this subject to be honest.

 

Game was advertised with high res textures, beta used them and we want them back its simple there is no need for an argument if you dont care fine no need to post your objections we dont care.

[Sunsoar]

Sharpening the jaggies DOES not replace or make low res textures prettier. It smooths jaggies out. Big F N whoop when you look at muddy paint textures and low detailed gear.

 

Brag when you can force high res textures through all the time, not some glorified text based AA change.

Shoo, back in the basket.

 

 

P.S. I will ignore any further comment of yours LOL.

 

P.P.S. LOLOL so soryy could not help myself. I apologise.

[CKNairb]

Short memory ?

 

Hey I gave my opinions, I submitted proof that others were asking for. Proof that nobody else would as all the shots are all up on the characters like its a Japan Cosplay Photoshoot.

 

And on top of the fact that your telling me to accept your opinion, then same token you have to accept mine. Pot/kettle

seriously........I did. Bye.

[daMarek]

This is what I want to see in the next patch notes:

 

UI

 

General

Added Medium setting for Texture Quality. High setting now correctly displays high resolution textures.

[Melfice_Sora]

We would like to inform you that leaving the house without sunglasses is now prohibited.

We are aware of the fact that you could have the CHOICE of not staring at the sun, but recent studies have shown looking at the sun is harmful to the eyes and therefore you MUST now all wear sunglasses.

 

what do you mean you're fine without them? what deal with Sunglasses Inc. ?

^why is this not what we have, this is allods online, free to play game.

 

I effin love that game. I even posted a shot earlier of it for a comparison. You can tell that Allods is stylized, but at least the textures in it are sharp as heck and look awesome.

Free to play and better textures than SWTOR.

[daMarek]

Btw has anyone noticed there is a big difference in texture quality between different gear?

 

I mean the high-rez textures in cutscenes, some gear is still blurry, while others is crystal clear. Or even parts look different, my chest is pixelated but the shoulders/back are good.

 

Whats up with that?

 

Maybe that is the REAL reason the high rez textures are disabled in general, so people don't choose gear according to image quality but rather stats. I don't know how that's possible, I mean the artists must have made them all in good quality, not sure how it didn't end up in the game. Or maybe that's just how it morphs on my large body character? if thats the case thats a pretty sheetty renderer dunno.

Damn shame there not back yes. People who haven't been in beta don't seem to miss them. But I do!

[Derbefrier]

/bump

Also thanks to the OP for keep uo with everything so i dont have to troll through pages and pages of posts to figure out whats going on

I suspect that's their little "Atlas" software's doing as well. Seems every time you see something about "increased performance" in patch notes, you see more blurry textures ingame.
