Which part of the graphics would you like to see improved?

[AnnRam]

Everything

Specially the character creator because it feels like something imported directly from Lineage 2 or RO.

Some of the midlander faces look like N64 models.

i mean if you want massive lag and such like 1.0 then they could upgrade the graphics .. but the engine really cannot handle it

I mean, the reason 1.0 was laggy wasn't the graphics, it was the server/client relationship and the way the game was coded.


Now, if you want to talk about how the graphics made the game difficult to run, sure, but only if you maxed them out. I played the game comfortably on a mid range system back then. A core 2 quad with a gtx 460.

Also, this is my favorite video of 1.0.

Beautiful isn't it?

Fair, fair. Everything can be upgraded but the flower pots, which don't need as many as / more poly than player character models.

There was a lot that contributed to lag but general texture updates ain't it.

I would love to see ambient occlusion. The lack of it iis the number 1 reason why the game looks so flat to me.
That and self shadows, though AO could definitely help cheat that. (I'm sick of my hat brim, hair, and nose not casting shadows on my face.)

Um, it has SSAO, and self shadows, both adjustable on the graphics settings menu. I mean, they're not great but my hat and snoot are definitely casting shadows.

Where's the SSAO option? I can't find it.
And sometimes shadows will land in the right spot, but then you get to places that make the lighting go all...



(Yikes)
The hair is definitely not casting a shadow on the forehead or the nose on the upper lip.

I think lighting would be the biggest upgrade. They already announced plans to begin preparation for better textures, to be done in batches. Sounds like they have a lot on their plate since they are also working on - among other things - female Hrothgar and addition of more platforms. There's no hurdles to Xbox any more but the PS5 client was their first priority. If Nintendo's next gen system is suitable then that'll be even more work.

Gear in this game always intrigued me because you can have, say, a chest piece that has nice 'HD' ornaments and belt buckles, but then the collar look like it was ravaged by the blur tool. Character textures would be nice too I guess, Hydaelyn knows I want to call a dermatologist anytime I see my Roe's pores
