I know a few games have done this in the past, I would like Cryptic to consider the request that they add the option for people whos systems can hack it to download a higher res/poly pack to make the whole game look better.

Things I notice the most that dissapoint me.

Low res blurry textures even at max quality value throughout the game.

Low poly count models for players and npc's(and some items, but thats more acceptable/tollerable to me as it sticks out less then for example leggs/bodyparts of people having flat surfaces and sharp edges/points.

Im far from alone in noticing this, everybody I have talked to notices it, I will admit, Im talking about people whos systems are all able to crank this game to max settings and run driver based enhancements on top of it without a noticeable perf hit, but thats really not uncommon or hard from what i can tell...

Sorry if this upsets anybody whos system really cant hack it, but alot of us like this game but would like it even more if it looked just that much better(in dx11 mode if it could push the hardware a bit that would be nice....with the 12.2's my 6870 gets same perf as dx9, no dropped/missing texture problems here(and i have looked) I dont even need to bother using CFX despite the fact I can....

well thanks for considering this request, And please note: it could get the game some publicity for being one of the few mmos thats got dx11 AND high rez textures/high poly models (if you wana use light tesselation to get the higher detail level on models that works for me, as long as u test it with both nvidia and amd hardware.... )

If you find the textures in STO blurry, you better never look at swtor in game....

I'm looking forward to some nice screenshots if that is realized. But considering that my PCs cooling noise goes up to ~200% as soon as I switch from space to character view and even gets hot enough to just turn itself off if not kept dust clean from time to time I think I'll pass.

Max setting btw. & think it looks beautiful.

I got maxed graphics on... I don't get that >.> lol.

I also only got one system fan, a fan on the GPU (built on it) and a CPU factory cooling unit fan...

I think he was being serious. He arrived at that crazy monetary figure in another thread. While money is being made off of the lock boxes, it is nowhere on that level every week. They have probably made in the 6 figure range, but nowhere near the 7 figure range since the launch of the lock box.

Honestly most of the textures in the game are quite good. In my opinion, the only areas they suffer are where the same small texture is stretched out over a very large area. Some of that is the nature of the MMO beast. The textures still hold up well when looked at on their own.
