Is there a possibility of updating some of the textures?

I'd say the game looks pretty great already, honestly. It's one of the most aesthetically pleasing MMO's out there. I'm certain that they'll make tweaks from time to time and as the developers get used to getting around limitations future zones will likely continue to look even more detailed than the existing ones.

Not sure to understand why low end PC/Platform is used as an argument for not supporting HQ textures.
Low end PC and PS3 can continue to use current texture and provide an option to display HQ textures for those who want/can support it.
This does not take any network/server resources and only impact performance of the local user machine.

The only thing that HQ textures would mean, is more hard drive space.
So this could be provided as like an extra dld for those who want them.

I'm pretty sure that when they are designing the world/weapons/outfits/monsters/etc, they create full HQ textures, then compress them for the final release.
So I don't even think it would mean that much extra work for SE.

I'm all for a game should not all be about graphic, but we're only talking here about HQ textures, not changing the 3d engine or increasing the number of polygons, I don't not feel that it's asking too much.
Tell me that some one here would complain that when taking a screenshot up close on your chara, that you wouldn't appreciate not to have all these low textures on your nice outfit?

Problem is the low res textures are obvious even when you don't zoom in. Cut-scenes look pretty bad. Mountains/terrain and armors/mount's skin look rly low res. They could implement it and people on consoles and old/weak PCs can still keep using the current ones. It can be an optional download for those who want it. Texture res is kinda too low for this time and age (speaking at least for PC). It's one of those things you think you are fine without until you actually see it and then realize how bad it looked before. I think the game will further be improved visually the next years and there MIGHT be a chance we will finally see better textures but until we have a strong hint from the Dev team I'm not expecting anything to be improved. For now I wish they would fix the horribly flickering shadows on DX11 which are broken for quite some time now (see tech support forums for this issue).

Either SE can make/create a HD texture pack available for download for PC users, or they should announce that they will allow a user created HD texture pack to be used with the game. I fully support the addition of a HD texture pack because, as has been stated, a lot of the textures look very poor when viewed up close. Hope we see HD textures in the future!

the fact to offer the possibility to use HQ texture is not against the game, from the start they must create the game with the hq texture and compress it after. why not release the hq texture as a pack for the player that want to add it to them game, it's easy to add (like for the dx11 version) a simple choice to use in the setting of the launcher and everyone will be happy. people with ps3-ps4-low and medium pc can still have the same game and have access to the same gaming experience, the one that can run the hq texture will be able to have the same game, with simply better texture.

to the note i doubt my computer will be able to run the game with hq texture, but the fact to offer the choice is more important than all.

I don't know what machine you have but I can tell you that a HQ texture pack will not severely harm the performance (except if you have a rly rly weak machine that struggles even with the lowest current settings and your VGA is many years old). There will be also ppl who will prefer the HQ textures over other settings and compensate their settings. That's the good about the freedom of choice on PC with the graphic settings. You can turn on the ones you prefer mostly and turn off others to get more performance. The choice never harmed anyone.

i know that why i support the fact to offer this choice to the person that can run with it that all.

If they had an "Appearance" folder for textures we could mod and update the textures ourselves with no work for the developers. PS4/PS3 users wouldn't be affected or complain about it either.

Let the players just do it themselves. No need to pull resources from other parts of the game.
