Good Video showing Graphics Upgrade Comparison

Though Im not playing right now, I found this video showing how the game has improved graphically over the last few weeks. I was impressed. It looks more vibrant, colors stand out more, it appears sharper even if they didnt change textures...maybe because of the colors, especially on Makeb. Its not a huge change, but a good step in the right direction. If they do add even better textures, the graphics to me would be a huge jump on top of those new vibrant colors.

    I don't see a difference between the frames ... some textures seem darker and less vibrant in the revised version (noticing the paths)... otherwise, light is the same .. same shadowing ... no dynamic lighting, (no day / night cycle :P)

     

    Both seem to skip frames still,  ... playing SWTOR now is like playing it 6 months ago.. what am I missing?

     

    Do you have a timeframe in that video where something is sharper / more vibrant in the "new" version?

    I agree about the day night cycles. Their explanation right before release was absurd lol. Regardless, everyone looks at things differently and to me I do see a marginal improvement in the video which means it probably looks even better on a high end PC. Anyway, I believe this was part of the 2.3 update release on 8/6/2013. It seemed to get a lot of positive feedback then.
