Thread: Why does 1.0 models look better than 2.0+ models?

PS3 is the only reason why we never had a graphical update, also, even by the time 1.0 came out, PC's where alredy superior than PS3 in hardware, ...And thus, i blame the PS3. And hell, even as it is the game is almost unplayable on ps3 on some dungeons, let alone raids.
Thankfully now we might see a graphics update when they drop ps3.

Btw, as plataform exclusives, PC by far being the superior for this kind of game.

Agreed, there is no excuse for 0% texture upgrades once 4.0 is out. They don't have to re-do all the houses/buildings/crystals/pots if they don't want to, but at the very least, they should improve the character models.

We need a viable anti aliasing before improved textures.

Yes please.
We need actual anti alising, not this nonsense fxaa. Sometimes the shimmering is horrible.

You know, what's silly is that FXAA is done rather well in other games. In WoW on FXAA high, i barely notice the jagged edges, but here they're extremely obvious. Especially at distance when looking at trees. I use a reshader the blur the edges of distant object where the FXAA does not, but it barely makes a dent.

We need to be able to adjust the level of intensity of our AA as well if any settings we get are to be worthwhile. So far, the only real AA option is getting a 2k/4k monitor and rendering the game at such.

Even in other games like WoW it still adds a blur which is why i rather play with jaggies myself.
Sadly with HW DX11 they removed the ability to use anti alising through other means.

Starlight Celebration trees were infamous for actually handing out gifts: New graphics cards after they melted people's cards because of the high poly count.

Yes, return the old models, how they downgraded since... 2010(?) To 2017 is unbelievable.

I also loved the movement physics in 1.0 and the textures. I was playing on a desktop at the time though, so it wouldn't help me now since I'm on a low-end laptop. XD
