I'm more interested in the improved animations they mentioned.
I really hope they manage to make the facial expression changes look more natural, and for the slim chance that they rid Hrothgar of the shit-in-my-pants stance.

They look alright. It's been a long time coming, I'd have to see more pictures though - with different lighting. The eyes in particular look pretty good.

Yeah I know, Both me and my son cringed when we saw it and were glad to hear it was not gonna happen. However you know as soon as Graphic Update 1 goes up people will be digging up that pic demanding "Graphic Update 2: Electric Boogaloo". Some hair sheen would be nice.

We'll see what they end up settling on but I wouldn't mind a little bit of texture in the skin, but not whatever was going on in that image. Unless it was a toggle or facial feature you can add or remove, that'd be fine, great even.
The hair is already a big improvement in these early drafts so I look forward to seeing the end result.
Nice. Finally my rig can flex its muscles. Many players around me still bottlenecks it though.
Probably because they have to juggle doing that along with everything else. It's a no brainer that significant graphical upgrades will take a good bit of work and time. What we are seeing is essentially an engine upgrade in progress.
its a good start but will not effect any ting in the over all. they sadly cant update the graphic engine. so better textures is goo as we get. what they really need is MORE PEOPLE working on the game.It seems like our prayers have been answered! While I doubt this will include the coveted butt slider, this may mean we will see a revisit to character customization in 7.0
What I really want to see is a separation of face locked aesthetics: let miqo'te choose their face markings, let Viera have their tattoos regardless of head choice etc etc
Oh and finally decouple au ra horns from heads.
The game really needs an engine update and I welcome the changes. Lighting, shadows and anti-aliasing are all noticeably terrible in this game in comparison to so many other MMOs it should actually be considered quite embarrassing. I dislike the current WoW game design direction but Blizzard always did a good job of adding modern rendering techniques to the game client with Shadowlands having modern ray traced shadows that require an RTX or RDNA2 (AMD) graphics cards. I'm playing this game on a PS5 and it's actually a pretty sub-par experience in my opinion because it looks bad and unlike an equivalently specced PC, doesn't even run as well at it should if it's going to look a old as it does at times.
I must be the only one not excited about this change. I don't want my miqote to have that toy doll look that Yshtola has in the EW intro cinematic and that's the direction I see this going...
