I sure hope that now there moving things over to cater to consoles pc users don't get doomed by a bait and switch tactic creating less graphics and such or no updated graphics thus kinda condemning the future of this game and graphics on the pc

    I am sure you are trying to say something worth discussing but, I am unsure of what that is exactly.
    "creating less graphics" What does that mean in this (or any) context ?

    Are you concerned that they will cease meaningful development on the PC game in favor of focusing on the soon-to-be-released console game?

    Sounds like someone needs to tighten up the graphics on level 3.

    Forget level 3, level 4 sprung a leak, there are pixels EVERYWHERE!!! :s

    ok but in all seriousness.. the graphics won't be what changes... at most consoles will be stuck on medium/high while we can choose to play on ultra (complete guess here). Dunno why you think they would all of a sudden lower the graphics for us? o.O

    I don't get it. So when the console version is released we will [on PC] have worse graphics?

    Personally i'm hoping for less graphics. There are already too many if you ask me.
    I wish nothing but joy for everyone.

    I *think* what the OP is asking is whether or not they'll continue to make higher resolution textures/graphics for top-end PCs for any new content once the console version is out.

    If that is indeed what they are asking, then I think the answer is almost certainly they'll continue to make content that also scales well for more powerful PCs.

    I don't think you have to worry about the PC gamers suffering from quality. The only people to suffer from quality loss with be console users because they are stuck with their hardware.

    Zos should be outputting their game at the highest resolution they have available or that is feasible for them to create. Then it is up to the player to take advantage of the quality of graphics.

    Since we can't swim underwater (or even swim that far out), this seems like a fairly pointless addition.

    Let's be honest that texture pack was not much of an improvement over the vanilla textures. The only good texture packs came from the Nexus(IMO).

    Considering the fact that most textures are stored server-side, it ain't happening. MMOs have to be playable on a wide range of computers.

    I doubt this is a real fear you should be having. Graphic settings are typically customizable for PCs because the hardware can vary greatly. Consoles are the same for everyone so they optimize games for their hardware. Any future updates will include optimized settings for consoles and customizable settings for PC/Mac. Why would you think that being cross platform would hurt this game in any meaningful way regarding graphics?

    The Skyrim texture pack was optional, if they did the same thing with ESO it wouldn't be an issue.

    I fail to understand how Xbox and PS4 graphics will have any bearing on the PC version.... Totally different servers, no ability to play PC vs Xbox.

    SO... how does one effect the other?? :|

    It would just take someone modding it as they did for skyrim and other games, swg has a high res mod pack that has nothing to do with the server side at all. You can mod the textures client side all you want to.

    Is that legal? Pretty sure that add-ons are limited to LUA-only, and that's why a lot of textures are data from the server. If textures were clientside and alterable, people would exploit that like crazy.

    swim farther out... you'll find something ;)

    but yea, the graphics are pretty customizable for us PC users.. I dunno why you'd think they would take that option away from us because of consoles lol. In the future they'd prolly do the same, and set things at the different graphical settings

    I can pretty much guarantee textures are not served to our client while playing.
