Was This Graphical Update Necessary?

[GrizzlyTank]

Why did theyvwaste their time making subtle, minute and irrelevant changes to models that only resulted in clipping bugs when there isnt even a spanish localization of the game yet?

And why did they bother to not respect the previous designs!

[seraf]

yes it was. It looks like a 10 year old game.

I don't really see the problem with that. The game as it was prior to DT looked perfectly fine and MMORPG's are not about graphics at all and never have been. Perhaps Korean MMO's are but that's all they offer are pretty graphics and predatory P2W cash shops.

I find very hard to take statements like these seriously in the face of comparisons such as these:







I genuinely don't know if people are losing their minds, are in denial, just trolling, or what...

Is there still a lot of work to be done? Yeah, and they've been warning us about that for months. To say that the changes are barely noticeable or insignificant on the other hand is just an insane claim to make.

They've got bugs to fix and more textures to improve, but yes. This graphical update was necessary if they intend to keep the game going for a long time.

I'm gonna go back to not looking at the forums, I don't know what I was thinking.

I could find just as many utterly cursed face shadows in the new graphics cutscenes, in all fairness. There have been quite a few in Dawntrail's MSQ

Just gonna throw my 2 cents in here and say I don't even notice it in play.

Like, when you put the two up next to each other, it's obvious, but if you cover up the right side, there's really nothing wrong with the left.

Doubly because when you're actually playing the game and not watching the movie, you're zoomed out to max distance anyway. Who cares what it looks like? It could be ASCII graphics for all I care.

I don't see them as an objective improvement. So many places are ruined now. Plus it hurts my eyes.

personally i like it when the visuals in my visual medium looks nice

They always did, though?

Again, especially so when you're actually playing the game. It was really just an upgrade to cutscenes.

I do.
Eye candy always was and always will be an important part of any video game for me. :<

The game looks objectively better. Especially metal materials. You may not care, many do.

The graphical Update is only good in the world itself on environment. I desperately plea that they revert all the changes and textures/models of players and all housing furnishings that are indoor. PLEASE! I beg of you. Furnishings are making it so places where me and friends used to have 60 fps we now have 15 fps. Builds that had certain lighting and colors / themes for interior housing design now are ruined. We built our housing builds based on how the lighting effects looked at the time and now this effectively pulls the rug out from under anyone that has a build they purchased or commissioned from a housing designer.

I don't even want the slot increase if me and my friends can't enjoy our time in the house anymore because something is killing our FPS. Maybe it's because you changed Luminous Wooden Loft to produce weird yellow FPS KILLING light that makes a once beautiful combo become ugly as heck. Combo being Luminous wooden loft above Eulmoran Marble Flooring. This combo once looked great but now it kills your FPS while looking horrible. WHY? Please just revert the graphics update for Interior Housing and Character Models. Miqo'te Female Face 3 Mouth 4 got her lips mutilated by botched plastic surgery and i might quit the game because of it unless a modder makes a mod for old character models and i start modding. I might get depressed and be forced to move on to a different game after thinking this was my home where i could stay and be happy the way things were.

The game looks objectively better.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but your "objective" is anything but
Just as modbeasts "upgrade" their game or pump their reshade filters to the max, there is no "objectively" better

Which is why we should be given options. Not forced into anything.
