They say they want this game to run on up to 5 year old systems. Well that is fine, but they should not make newer computer suffer because of that. I think they should have Dx11 and Dx9 on release. What do you guys think? Please try to not argue and keep it on topic.

Surely they will - newer computers run better on dx11. Also hoping they release a game that runs properly on 64bit systems - some games totally screw it up for us just to let the people still running a 32bit system play the game...heh actually didn't Skyrim do that

agree

SWTOR still has no high rez textures because of the...." we want to be like wow so everyone should be able to play this game on a toaster "

I payed big money for my computer because i want my games to look and feel great.

sure..people should not be forced to pay for new machines, so a downgrade option in the graphics options should be available.

I did not pay big money for mine. But it did cost around a total of 900 and it runs way smoother on Dx11.

They should use OpenGL and SDL, and avoid using DirectX.

Running the game on a five year old system doesn't mean it going to be a smooth gaming. I really can't see the point of playing MMO's if you can't at least play at mid setting to Ultra settings. Playing this game in Cyrodill with everything turn down will get you killed very quickly, you want to be able to see players that are far away plus you don't want lagging when you have 100s of people on screen.

People are still on this "if you can play WOW you can play any other MMO" which is nonsense considering that blizzard made that graphic engine 10 years ago.

I completely agree. Im just tired of being forced to use older technology. I want to run the game as high and as smooth as possible. Dx 9 will not be doing that for me.
