You know where they need to give you the high res textures? On the damn dressing room preview. An image big enough to see with the naked eye would be good, too.
And make that window movable while at it. Or heck, just put it somewhere where it doesn't cover the "next page" button in the AH interface  I can see the next page button when I preview. What I CAN'T see are the prices. <3 But yeah, especially in the case of previewing companion appearance mods, I need to be able to actually SEE beyond "aWell now Dorne has black hair. I'm not sure about that face. I can't really tell. Well, I am swimming in creds, I guess I'll try it." <two minutes pass> "AUGH." |

You're buying kits for Drone but your poor Forex is languishing in defaultness!

Because I keep forgetting what planet his awesomeness is on. Plus it'll break my head less when HE changes appearance, because he's a droid, so I can be lazy about it. I want Aric and Dorne to look how they look as early as possible, though, because it's weird when your girlfriend suddenly looks entirely different!
Aric with Elvis hair = <3

POW! Right in the Kisser!

Dang, it must be resolution specific then or smth. At 1680x1050 the window positions itself just right to cover only one button. And the prices, too, but that's probably for the best  |

Yeah, I'm at 1920x1200. Not seeing the prices is probably for the best, yes.  |

Can you clear up why people are mad about the low-res thing?
Because it's the only think PC gaming has left over consoles.  However, it is just a bad excuse. A better one would have been, "We were noticing odd bugs in hi-rez mode and we are fixing them and will release it 'soon'". Telling players that they couldn't handle it is a great way of stirring up player drama. |

Yeah, I am pretty certain my machine could operate in cut-scene quality mode all the time without issue (perhaps barring shadows, but hey, I can turn those down.)

Yeah, with everything set to max, I get a pretty consistent 100+ fps. Give me something to turn up higher so I stop wasting those 40+ frames extra!

Get a 120 Hz screen instead.  It's awesome! |

MMOs never get graphics right. I still can't run EQ2's shadows properly, after a gazillion patches. But it is funny if the devs are pretending that the issues are due to SWTOR being a graphical milestone instead of shoddy coding.

Trion did a very good job with their heavily modified Gamebryo graphics engine. I could tell the HeroEngine SWTOR uses sucked major donkey balls cause I couldn't play it on one of my laptops with the lowest settings at 1080p while RIFT runs fine with lowered settings at 1080p and looks far far better than SWTOR.

You could tell Hero Engine was going to suck because it was in development 7 years and never released anything until BWA bought it. Lest we forget, HJ was in dev. the same time as EQ2 and had one of their first previews at E3 2005.  |
The past cannot be changed. The future is yet within your power.

With the last patch my SWTOR has started throwing me BSODs, of the "irql not less or equal" variety. It only happens once per 10 hours or something similar, but it's hella annoying.

We need more threads that derail into graphics imo.
Going back to RE for a second, I did the Tatooine balloon last night. Decided to send my guys on a bunch of tier 1 missions and let Blizz work on RE for my IA. Boots: four greens for the 1st blue, three more got me the proper blue I wanted. Two blues for the purple. I gave up on the belt after THIRTY REs of the GREEN. Luckily it was only costing me 1 tier 1 compound, but I was chuckling toward the end. Something is definitely fishy there, but it was nice to see at least some recipes are still responsive.
Apply this to the top tier stuff and it gets to be such a stupid timesink, combined with restrictive recipes, explains my crap gear at level 48. The full set of level 49 tank greens is promising, since it's stacked with absorb, meaning I can RE through the +shield line and get some decent shield tech gear. Decided just to wait for that.
