Now that they've got us going back to old areas do you reckon there's any chance they'll fix the hack-job they did on the DX11 client features?

Sorry, but what are we looking for?

Edit: The NPC appearing to hover slightly over the wood with one of their feet?

I assume you mean the bubbling effect from the poorly implemented parallax maps/tesselation. I really doubt they'll do anything about it since they have a hundred things on their to-do list that are more important.

These QoL suggestions are getting out of hand.

Do you not think the developers have more important things on their hands.

I think fixing their graphics so that wood looks like wood is pretty important.

Luckily for the rest of us, your opinion doesn't dictate developer priorities.

I love how everyone fails to see the problem here. Is not just wood textures. Parallax works horribly in this game cause textures are so low resolution that it just adds way too many "polygons" to the texture mapping since its just way pixelated. End result is that parallax literally breaks the graphics and immersion into the experience (mud/tumor mountains...) and the solution isn`t really on parallax end, but in proper texture resolution upgrades for this game, which is using 256x256 textures all over the damned place.

Game has to be look from afar to look pretty, literally its only redeeming quality is a somewhat good lightning (cause shadows are broken atm and they have been "looking into them" for a year now). Close up on anything and the game looks 2006ish at best.

Worse part of all of this, is that the solution for this already exist. All textures of this game are probably downscaled, so, proper HD textures already exist. So, whats been asking here is not some "low priority QoL". This is basically devs not wanting to put in game something they have already developed, all they have to do is to make an optional installer and pack what, arround 16gb of extra download? I can do that, for free if they want to. Id even put music on the installer. Crappy music without a mute button.

TL;DR: This is more than just "wood looking bad". Its a severe lack of caring on developers end and a experience breaking issue that could be solved in matter of days. Damn, this shouldn`t be an issue to begin with.

I obviously can't speak for everyone else, but I guess I personally just don't really consider it a problem.

If the texture quality is increased, awesome, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it, I think the game looks fantastic already. But then I'm in my late 30's and grew up playing games looking like this:



(Actual resolution!)

If you think developers not caring about the status and shape of their game and the experience they give to their players is not a problem... Well.
