DX11 Reflections - Quality

[Wade]

Anyone notice that the reflections in the DX11 client are not only blocky but also seem to animate at a much lower frame rate than the things being reflected? Try watching the reflection of the aetheryte in Idyllshire in the circle around it on the floor (easiest place to get to to see what I mean).

Could we get an option/slider to set the reflection quality - presuming it was implemented using a shader that allows for quality control.

Not at all, the reflections are beautiful on the floors, especially the wood ones, well any floor for that matter that reflects.

Can you take a screenshot please, because I see blocky like this.

See the block edges? That's not of animations but I'll try and make a video of it.

This shows it a lot clearer

Yeah, a lot of the dx11 effects look half assed. Even the water tessellation, which I was really looking forward to, hardly makes a difference. The tessellation in general is pretty weak.

Could be due to high quality real time reflections potentially decreasing your frame rate by 30-40%, don't see why they don't have the option though.

More like consoles holding game back.

Even with DX11 the game still looks like a console port to PC to me. Graphically certain parts it looks something towards Tome Raider rather than the more gorgeous Witcher 3.

But again IDK. Might have been multi cross platform too. I've played the FF15 demo and I feel that the graphics were better than Heavensward.

You got to be kidding me, am I playing a different version or something? There's something wrong on your end, has to be

You need to play some graphical games and open up your horizon, not me lol.

Have you tried other game's benchmarks at the very least? Graphically speaking Heavensward is nowhere top tier.
