What 1.0 Did Better...

[Kallera]

You are pretty blind if you think the lack of detail and lighting makes 2.0 look better. It looks fine, but it's not better than 1.0.

By the way, weather effect in mor dhona.

If SE ever gets the idea of a graphical update to this game, I hope they set the bar at 1.0 good.

We already got our graphical update.

And the game now has better lighting (especially world lighting as it has an actual day/night cycle now versus the half-assed crap that was in 1.0), better post-processing (1.0 bloom was WAY overdone), better AO (HBAO+ is godlike, especially compared to 1.0 AO which had a HUGE performance impact and barely did anything anyway), better shadowing (including self-shadowing), tessellated water, parallax occlusion mapping, screen-space local reflections, actual weather effects, and overall MUCH better performance.

The only thing they have left graphically are, again, the textures and the character animations. Seriously, there is nothing else left. I seriously don't understand you guys when you say 1.0 looked better.

There's one thing I liked about V1.0 that It did better... How it did far away objects:

V1.0 Keeper of the Lake (East)


V1.0 Keeper of the Lake (West (near Castrum))



V3.0 Keeper of the Lake (North)


V3.0 Keeper of the Lake (a bit further east of the boat)

Like in V2.0/3.0 how far away does that look. I'd say it looks like it's maybe 100 meters away. In V1.0 It looks like it's much farther away and MUCH larger.
