In my opinion the graphics are getting outdated. It was fine for my first year of playing the game, but now that my second year is nearing Its end, bad textures stick out like soar thumbs. If I'm going to keep playing comfortably, SE needs to rework textures, and make the graphics even better. I would also suggest making characters more fluid in movement. It's hindering the appeal, and now that the PS3 is dropped, I think it's the perfect time to implement this. Flying in 2.0 areas should be a thing too.
Suggestion: graphic updates.

Movement seems fine to me however I completely agree on textures. Fortunately (I think) this is one of the best mmos there is, so it's not a deal breaker for me, but at the same time it is shocking to me in 2016 when I encounter some of the pixellated textures in game.

+1 for better animation and higher resolution textures upgrades!
Movement is not fine. In this game, we have to move around the combat field a lot, and every time we move while using a skill, the character is sliding because its upper body animation is tied to its lower one. In jumping skills it's less noticeable, but in other skills it's eye-jarring.Quote:

10-17-2016, 06:25 PMDamianFataleThe people who develop this game do it for a living. To call their job "too much work" is an oxymoron. It's supposed to be work.Quote:

They have to do it sooner, rather than later, or they're going to hurt the game's long term sales prospects.

Due to how important animations are for this game during combat they can't cancel them and move for spells like instants; some spells do the damage in the last part of the animation -

If only all classes worked like machinist. The lower part of the body isn't connected to the attack animations so things look somewhat more fluid.

I agree with the textures. It's awful we have to look at those heavy pixelated armours and ground/walls etc. The game looks ok only when you play with the camera very far from the chaarcter. For an MMORPG this new they should improve this. Shadows are bugged too they need fixing and this has already been reported though no response for that even thow the team had aknowledged the issue for months now. Movement is ok for me. It could be better yes but it's not terrible either. It is fine. Any improvements will be welcome though. Also the maps can be more detailed with more objects now. I mean more trees, rocks etc and ofc they can be bigger. If any graphical improvements will be made in 4.0 maybe they will tease them at next 2 Fan Fests.

Increasing the textures may be doable, especially if they are dropping PS3 support. That was always one of the biggest limiting factors because the PS3 has a pitiful amount of memory and couldn't hold hi-res textures.
Everything else, though, would be "too much work" in terms of the effort/reward ratio. Time spent redoing all the graphics that were just redone a little over three years ago is time not spent developing new content.
I'd like to see them eventually support DX12, though. Maybe we can finally get real anti-aliasing.
Personally, when I'm in battle, I'm not looking at my character all that much. I'm looking at the boss, the floor, the walls, my status icons, the placement of my pet, the health bars of my party - pretty much anything BUT my character's action animations.
