    Anti-Aliasing or lack there of

    Hi all, sorry if this is posted in the wrong section I'm new here and really was curious if this question has ever been talked about.

    anti-aliasing, as it sits to my knowledge in the game, is only limited to FXAA which in itself is a nice option but for most, it adds more blur then they would like... are there any plans to add more options to AA? I personally would like to to see MFAA compatibility... but at the very least let users with more capable machines to use SMAA or MSAA.

    Thoughts?

    I wouldn't mind having dynamic scaling as well. Basically its told to render at 3840x2160 on the GPU and scaled to a 1920x1080 monitor.

    Failing that, better AA options would be great.

    The game will need a graphic engine update to implement new graphical options like new AA methods and better textures or anything else.
    As far as I know they do not plan a graphic update soon unless they secretly working on it.
    More AA options and better textures are on my wishlist. And for the love of Hydaelyn the game needs a sound update as well. The most annoying technical aspect of the game is the lack of ability to switch to Headphones via front panel on PC without restating the game itself. Even games more 8 years old can do this.

    Whatever graphic engine 1.0 was running on would be great.

    One of the oldest requests since 2.0 first launched. Better aa and better textures.. both of which are long overdue.

    The engine from 1.0 wasn't actually very well suited for the type of graphical fidelity that the devs were pushing for and 1.0 only looked as good as it did because of the insanely massive polygon count. Current graphic engines are able to render better visuals with lower counts so stepping back to that engine would not really be all that helpful. The game doesn't really need a new graphical engine, it needs better textures to cover our polys.

    Also, as a note... I run 4K and have AA turned off entirely since at that resolution it doesn't make a difference.

    I still have the 1.0 benchmark.. It looked great! - 7 years ago. Now, it doesn't look that good really. The character models have some better texture mapping (or depth or w/e) on the clothing, but like, world textures overall? not much different.

    Maybe a possible texture pack or would that also require an overhaul on the engine.

    Always in support of the optional HD Texture Pack idea.

    I am not rich and don't own an overpowered gaming PC so I am against any major changes to the graphics.
