Klarick Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Ignore this guy everyone! He's clearly a troll! Only a troll says they are having bacon later and doesn't offer it to everyone else. He's taunting me... Feed the hungry man! My apologies kind sir. Of course I would, if I could, share the bacon flavored ice cream. I will be sharing it today with my family members of course. If you can get to where I am, I would gladly buy you a bowl of this fine delicacy. Edited December 22, 2013 by Klarick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sahee Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) It's a dilemma... the grass looks really beautiful which means I don't want to turn it completely off, seems like I have to get used to this issue. I think the chance to get an official post regarding this issue is pretty low but who knows... maybe there is someone in the community who can explain why increased (grass) draw distance means higher server load, as I think that the server performance has nothing to do with this issue. Only plausible cause could be the engine itself, as I already do encounter micro-stutter here and there (especially when many people are on the screen at once)... this could potentially worsen with increased graphical settings. Here is a video which is showing the problem pretty clearly: It seems like it has been like this in the game since 2011... I cannot see even a marginal improvement.

Trugdigity Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Just stop Sahee. Just stop. Quit trolling. What difference would ANY answer be to you. Lets say the answer is The HERO engine is so bad, horrible, a travesty to modern society, and it is the reason cats hate dogs. Would that be enough of an answer for you? In the end, it just doesnt matter. It is a red herring that you are using to troll the forum. Why WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW? What difference would it make for you to know the exact reason of why a blade of grass isnt being drawn to your specifications? Who cares that, IN YOUR EYES, the engine is very weak? Who are you? Who in your "special snowflake" brain are you? If you dont like it then dont play it. If you dont like the hero engine stop playing games that use it. It really is simple. Bottomline: You dont need to know the exact reason that a blade of grass doesnt behave the way you think it should, as it would change absolutly nothing. Why are you being such a jerk? Anyway I would also like to know if anything can be done about the grass draw distance, and I agree that at this point it looks like another failure at "attention to detail" for EA/Bioware.

Brokentusk Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Lol@ this Klarick guy. Obvious Bioware fanboy QQing anytime someone isn't 100% satisfied with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marb Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 The in-game grass quality slider adjusts the density of grass, the draw distance of grass is fixed and can't be increased. The tree quality slider does improve the distance that higher quality tree foliage renders. The in-game graphics settings are so spartan for an mmo.

Erasimus Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I actually agree with the OP. I find the magically appearing grass, well, disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuppy Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 its at its worst on Voss, man that planet could have been great. They must manufacture great lawnmowers Voss is bad! But, Quesh is equally as bad or worse. I couldn't stop noticing it today as I ran my 3 chars there for the Gree droid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toweleeeie Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Been trying to increase draw distance since launch. Nothing has worked. Klaric shutup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELRunninW Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Is there an official posts on the engine limitations of the hero engine? If you search forums you will find discussions involving the limitations, but there is nothing 'official' about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
