you likely arrived before they finished dressing teh set...

this IS early access after all

They're not going to add more stuff on July second. This is literally just the early in for the people who bought in.

sorry, I should have put a /s in there.

of course new stuff isnt going to be there on the 2nd.

just because a game company shows us stuff... doesnt mean its going to happen or in this case... reflect reality.

early access has nothing to do with it, i logged in today an was able to see new stuff that was added to the game without needing to have preordered anything i even saw picto and viper players in the overworld during my time logged on it states it in the patch notes as well that there are things you will see not effected by pre-ordering or having downloaded the dawntrail expansion because they are consider "system" updates to the game as a whole. keep in mind tho just because you can see things doesn't mean you can interact with or play them without having the dlc content installed (i.e. you might see the quests for viper or picto but it will not allow you to do them and tell you that dawntrail is required in order to play it etc) and similarly you can't level up past 90 without the dlc.

I bought dawntrail tho

I distinctly remember that screenshot they showed from Thavnair and it was the first thing I checked.

They never should have shown it if they weren’t going to do it.

the location you saw was probably just test footage sorry if it confused you though you see sometimes the developers will prepare sets for us to see in a live "Test" environment thats only accessible to them but the actual live version of what they give to us may differ significantly but they put in the description there "more objects" to highlight what you should look forward to in newer locations not necessarily per-existing ones etc.

Please read the top of that slide very carefully.

That was from Vegas fanfest and the room was hyped af. If there are any actual examples of areas improving, I’d like to see them to compare. Didn’t play too much this morning.

"First Month of Testing (Sample)"

The point of the slide wasn't "We are updating Thavnair to look like this", it was to showcase "In the graphics update, we will be able to populate areas to a far greater degree" without showing off the spoiler zones that actually had this treatment.

They mentioned a few times older zones will get the visual updates later on, same with older gear and npcs...

Wasn't very clear. They should be able to go back and do as they showed in the image as there is no subtitle or caption that says "concept". They can do this.

So are the new zones sufficiently cluttered like in the example they provided?

They said they will go back through the expansions updating the older areas and NPCs through the patches.

So, ARR areas still don't look good for example. A lot of gear is still pixelated (including a lot of what is worn in the viper quests). Gear now just looks more blurred in comparison to the things that don't, because of the comparisons that now exist in the same scenes. We were actually told to expect this throughout the 7.x patches while they go back updating older things.

So, they may do this with Thavnair but it will likely be in a patch if they do.

Wow thats just messed up. They’ve got to fix this.

It seems like a lot of the plans for the graphics update will be added to previous expansions over time while its already in for DT zones.
