I feel like 7.0 will be quite the milestone

I believe the goal of the visual upgrade is to provide an official Gshade/Reshade to the players (Especially console players who don't have access to mods, addons, plugins, and such) and also make the game look more beautiful for marketing purposes.

I thought we were just getting updated textures/better CC but I might be wrong.

I thought we were just getting updated textures/better CC but I might be wrong.

It goes further, upgraded textures, shaders, shadows, foilage, materials for metals and gold, lighting and more lighting points, more memory allocated to allowing more objects and layering of overworld assets to make it more lived in etc that was just after the 1 month testing and they aim to go higher with other aspects like ambient occlusion and fog effects. The only negative is not all npcs and armour/glam will be done for launch but over the 7.X series to 8.0
