Fett Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I saw recently that the new game TERA is offering an update to it's client to allow for high resolution graphix, it's a big 7GB download, but will make the game look fab, even if it isn't the best game in the world. I have been disappointed by SWTOR's smudginess compared to other games, and I was hoping there was an update forthcoming that will make things look better. Both games scale to the same degree, have similar numbers of concurrent players, so I am not sure of the reason why the graphics need to be simplified down in SWTOR to such an extent? I appreciate this is stylized realism, but I don't know why that would mean that fidelity should suffer so much. Also Skyrim has an unofficial update that makes the graphic resolutions look 100X better. Could we the community do something about this? Are we getting some sort of update on this for 1.2 or even at the forthcoming guild summit, any info would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Descends Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 when they tested high res textures the poor coding of the game engine made it run like crap exponentially.... so they are hiding this option until...hell freezes over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiaThas Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Lol, i'd like you to take note on the silence of this topic.. The amount of times people have called for better textures etc, and its gone 'unheard' the devs seem to have input for most other things, so no were probably not getting high res for a good few months. Till then it will be swept under the rug, thinking nobody will care, which is really quite the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zefalcon Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 devs just say " oh yea we will pass it along to this and that " but we wont hear anything about it anymore for months, even years. they fob you off, then go fix something like the personal holo thing you get from digital D edition. (yes its broken) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can all monday morning qrtr back this game . the truth will be told at the 90 day mark. how many subs retained to the sales. my guess 45% burn off , others think 1.7 million will be here a year from now. TOR on the whole is very blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fett Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 If this is not being taken seriously, is it possible that someone who is attending the guild summit could bring this up as a issue and push for more satisfactory answers during a streamed session. I find this pretty disappointing after doing some further background reading, the response the community received doesn't exactly ring true for some reason.
