Idk but this looks rather rigid to me, just me though

The game looks really good for an MMO, especially the lighting effects on armor and such.
I actually neglected to mention that all of my testing was done before the game had AA introduced. It should look even better at launch!. I also tried out eyefinity, but this was before i had purchased my third monitor so it placed my character right at the bezels. But it DOES have native eyefinity support.
My computer was pushing 80-110 fps in most areas running with a 3.8Ghz i7 2600k (Cpu-z in sig is when i ran the processor at 5Ghz, i found that with 8GB 2133 Mhz i get more performance from the memory being overclocked than from the processor being overclocked) , 8GB 2133 Mhz memory, and a powercolor HD 6970.
Some people have complained that it took to long getting out of the starter worlds. I had no such experience, seeing as how my beta weekend had 5 servers open and not nearly as many people playing. It took me roughly 5-6 hours to leave the jedi home planet. I never once skipped a cutscene, and i LOVED every single one. This game is so ridiculously immersive it just amazing.
That's what I was thinking...
Far enough to get to mounts AND afford them (a couple it seems) while getting skills up to 150 each?
I really don't understand how people do that.
I wanted to take screenshots of my beta weekend too but I couldn't decide what to take pics of, there was so much. I took pics of the SI ship in the end.
Tattooine looks so sweet
So uhmmm, yeah. I was able to trade a few shifts away at my main job in order to take the whole weekend off. My wife was put on notice that I would not be leaving our office for the entire weekend.
On Friday night I logged in right at 5:00PM when servers went live, and started playing. I played until 4:00AM Saturday without any problem. The game was amazing. I decided to try and get some sleep, went to bed and slept for 3 hours before my body wouldn't shutdown any more. Got up and played through Saturday (Stopping for meals). Starting at 7:00AM and not finishing until 9:00PM. I slept for 7 hours and got up Sunday at 4:00AM. I played until 5:00PM, then went to a youthgroup meeting that we lead. That ended at 8:00 PM. We got home at 8:30 and I played until 3:00AM. I slept for 6 hours and got up at 9:00AM. I played until 11:00AM, at which time I hit level 25, and decided to try PvP for the rest of the day. I took these pictures around 8:00PM Monday night. The servers went down at midnight on Monday.
Some stuff I took during my beta weekend:
idk how there is ppl actually crying about graphics on soem forums.... it looks damm nice to me
I dunno what you were expecting but this game wasn't made to test the limits of modern day graphics
This game is meant to be played all all ranges of systems not just high-end gaming-specific systems. Saying the graphics are about as good as a single player game 2 years ago isn't bad, many people still use those same computers they had 2 years ago, especially the non-heavy gaming types.
Even still SWTOR blasts WoW out of the water in terms of graphics, have you seen how polygonal some of those old models are? They fixing a lot of them up but in small ways like using a band-aid on a dam.
Less-intense graphics = wider audience = less production time, and even yes = more money

Amazing pics all! I'm not sure if I can wait til release to get my hands on this. Lol.
Guess I'll stick to WoW, watched a livestream and a couple of videos, still not convinced. This is just as stiff as Warhammer Online :/
