    Wish there was a high res texture pack like in Skyrim but I doubt that'll ever happen for ESO

    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.

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

    Considering the fact that most textures are stored server-side, it would be an issue.

    That's pretty funny. Considering you can mod textures in this game(bannable). Not to mention the fact that this would create massive amounts of lag and data usage for no real reason at all.

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

    Yes, it's a little more complicated than that, but they are not all stored clientside. Again, exploits.

    If textures were rendered 100% clientside, people would make glowy-pink nodes, invisible walls, etc.

    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

    No worries, pixels will be available for purchase in the crown store.

    My wife complains that I never listen to her. (Or something like that.)

    My ESO addons:
    Midnight - Find out when midnight is so that you can check for ww/vamp spawn.
    Goto - Adds a tab to the map pane allowing you to teleport to a friend, guildmate, or groupmate for free.

    The console users have a set amount of graphics, they will never get better than the PC users mainly because you can constantly upgrade your PC while you can't upgrade your Console.
    If I die tomorrow I do not want to think of the game I could of played today, therefor I will play whatever I want today while securing a future to play in as well.

    A true gamer will think of all the possible outcomes and execute the one that is the hardest to accomplish.

    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.

    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.

    Not illegal at all, you not injecting anything into the code or changing anything server side, its just a client mod and you can mod the files on your pc as much as you want, they only show up to you and they do not effect the game at all funciton wise.

    Addons and a res mod are completly different in nature there is no comparision.
