Graphics Update In The Future?

[SamSmoot]

To me, the graphics in this game still look amazingly good (at max settings).. But then, I came from WoW about 6 months ago

I can't help but wonder what kind of potato these people are playing on when they keep asking for this. I guess that console peasants probably make up a good chunk of them, which would explain it. I have an 8700k and 1080Ti and can hold a stable 60FPS at 4k or 144FPS on my 2560x1080 monitor, with all settings maxed. It looks gorgeous on either of them.

Why do people keep asking for this? Do they not realize that the game already looks pretty good and is extremely well-optimized for an MMO? Due the nature of how they work, an MMO will never have the same level of graphics as a single player game can have. I play this game on my 4K TV at 60FPS and it looks better than an MMO has any business looking. Yeah, some of the older textures and areas don't look as good as newer ones, but that's the nature of ANY MMO. The only thing I could possibly ask for is updated character models - everything else looks great.

This is simply not true.

In every single area, there are mal-textured objects/platforms. Many gear sets also suffer from grainy textures.

World of Warcraft certainly isn't shy about their stance on graphic fidelity.

If your on PC and have a high spec computer, you can use Reshade to immediately make your game look a hundred times better at the cost of FPS.

A bit hyperbolic, however, I understand where you're coming from.

Turning up the settings on a PC certainly provides a significant difference, but it doesn't solve problems like texture resolution.

This; because there's a lot of assets to update and would impact their schedule.

I don't recall this being specifically stated. Where is your source?

That's a very funny joke and everything, but virtually every other MMO has higher fidelity textures, models, post-processing, etc. If you at least can't admit that this game is in severe, desperate need of AA then I can't imagine you're not actually joking here.

Unfortunately, white-knighting is at an all-time high. Obvious problems are ignored out of inconceivable complacency.

Probably when PS5 becomes mainstream with console players.

Why would we need one though? WoW has managed to keep millions subscribed for 15 years and looks pretty bad in comparison to this game. I don't see why this game won't do similar.
