Textures were bugged at the time. Here's the same character with the same equipment with higher res textures:
Yea the clothing/armor texture work is not going to be the highlight of this game.

So what will be? I mean you're buying this right?
I hope that's not the case. Cool and awesome looking weapons and armor are a big part of the MMO experience for me.
For me probably the social component. I have a few friends joining up so it should be a blast in that regards. On a more objective level probably the class stories for the people lucky enough to get a good one.

Faces are lovely though. And overall lighting.
Old pics, from some months back, when I was in the beta. These have external AA applied, just in case people think the reason it looks jaggy free is because I've downsized the pics.

...Panthero?! Shit didn't know Thundercats was a playable race!

Sorry to say the armor so far (at least endgame) looks pretty meh.
Best thing about the armor is the modifications. You aren't forced to wear certain armor because it has better stats. You can practically wear anything you want and mod it to be as good as endgame armor.
Probably one of SWTOR's best selling points for me.

I haven't posted in this thread before, as I've been trying to stay as "spoiler" free from this game as possible. I can't wait for Tuesday... I already plan on leaving work early, lol. Anyway, I posted an invite request on The GAF Empire page, so I'm hoping I can join up with you guys.
I'm thinking Bounty Hunter, but I don't really have too much knowledge of how they compare to other classes, I'm just thinking story wise it might be cool.

Origin DD's already getting preferential treatment from the No Grace Period clusterfuck.
We should get even more. BWAHAHAHA!
I feel dirty enough. Please, no more.

I haven't been paying close attention, let me make sure I'm clear of what the no grace period issue is. People who preorder through retail will still get early access but come Dec 20, we won't be able to play until we get our physical copy. Is that the situation?

Bingo. 12:01AM EST Dec 20 Early Access shuts off.
Isn't it more like 10PM EST?

Yeah, a couple of days ultimately isn't a big deal but why start off on the wrong foot with some of your most excited fans. It just seems like dumb move.
The main issue is that they promised us a grace period when we all originally preordered.
They'll likely do something to address the situation, given the PR. Something similar happened when they launched WAR.
Yes, but before the swtor forums shut down to be cleansed before launch Bioware had said they were talking to retailers (specifically Amazon, Walmart, Gamestop, and Best Buy) to authorize them to ship the game asap to make 100% sure people who preordered had their copies by the 20th
So all the complaining about the grace period might be moot if the majority of people have their game codes in hand when early access ends (as it should have been, restricting shipments to start on 12/20 was just a stupid ass notion)
I would guess so since in beta they always went with CST do to it being Bioware Austin time.
I agree with what I've seen thus far. I was hoping they'd amp up the textures in retail or something though.
Yeah, I thought this situation sounded familiar with an EA game. Not sure how their PR is such a mess, especially now this will be a 2nd time with a similar situation.

I spoke with an Amazon rep earlier today and she said that they're currently "talking" to BioWare/EA about it. She said that I would be e-mailed in 1-2 business days regarding updates to the matter and that they were "aware" of the situation.
I'm sure that was the nicest possible way of saying nothing she could think of, but at least she tried.

Early access ends at 10pm and they have a few hours of downtime before launch on the 20th official
