Well that can be good news or bad news I suppose...I'm hopingit isn't just another effort by the devs to screw up the graphics and pass it off as a performance improvement. I don't think I have enough energy to petition the devs to fix the terrain a second time, lol.
Well I've necroed the thread that everyone hoped they wouldn't have to see again...especially me. I was content with the "compromise" that the devs applied to the existing planets a few publishes ago, but lo and behold Kashyyyk is riddled with our beloved tiled terrain "bug".The tiling effectis especially bad when viewed up from the treetops. Here's hoping that the devs take note and don't fall into the bad habit of doing this with every planet they release in the future.
Here is a semi-decent picture showing the issue on Kashyyyk: http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=246308&poll_id=0&warned=y
