MMO syndrome... extreme sniper rifle range is about 150m
That said is there some graphical term for why all the character models look like plastic action figures? I'm assuming it's some combination of modular gear, shiny finish / bloom lighting and clean textures. Reminds me quite a lot of Champions online which had the same problem.
Still, waiting for the NDA to drop is painful.
I had similar worries on the graphics side when the first videos started popping up. After a beta weekend, I do not have those concerns anymore. While I can see why people would compare the choices made to CO, this game looks loads nicer than CO. IMO. |

Ah, not having watched clone wars explains why I would miss that. I guess, with a clear style to the art direction, it will probably age quite well.

Find a screenshot that you think illustrates this problem particularly well and I'll tell you what the technical terms are for what makes it look that way. |

Personally I think clone wars looks terrible, so not convinced, but can understand how they got to where they are. |

I also hate how clone wars looks. The tech is fine, but the art style is dumb, and I hate the way the chose to animate characters. Probably why I don't watch it.
I don't think SWTOR graphics should be compared to CW at all. Not close, IMO. SWTOR is more like KOTOR with a nice graphical upgrade (which, well, it is?). Or maybe Mass Effect minus the intentional graininess and with far more color.
If there is a valid complaint against the graphics, I'd say that it's more because it follows the colorful style of the prequels and not the darker style of the original trilogy. Not that that's surprising, but I could see why it would annoy people.

Looks like they weren't kidding about still sending out invites throughout the night and maybe some this morning. Keep checking those Inboxes, folks.
Edit: Additionally, I'm hoping the beta client can be patched to live...this thing is huge.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

I can't tell if I got an invite or the world's worst attempt at phishing.

Or you could log into swtor.com and change your password. They didn't provide a link, so it would be a pretty shitty phishing attempt. |

It turned out I was in, but the links at least here don't point at swtor.com, they go somewhere and redirect to swtor.com That seems like a bad idea in general.

Snakecharmer is planning on a PvP server, I forget if he's got a posse or not. The PvP seems like a great fit for the IP, but then I remember it's PvP in an mmo and lol. |

I would have grabbed the life sized statue in the building, run, and considered it a mayor success if I had gotten away. That statue is awesome.  |
