i agree to me i prefer the current graphics we have it looks nostalgic to me , but at the same time i would prefer if they added the option to turn it on/off so people who want this update can have it too , i am not sure if they said we can from the settings? but i hope we get the option .

Don't worry OP, I'm sure some great modder will make up for it by allowing you to downgrade your graphics.

"ontop of this the apparent clash there will be between players and npcs who receive and dont receive a graphical update will just ruin the immersion of players, especially newer ones."

Just for this point : People were able to immerse themselves in the game at the time of T4C. They should be able to overcome the small potential gap between the player and the NPC.

I don't know how anyone can be against this. People run mods to give them better light and shading.

My only concern is that PS4 support to be dropped after 7.0. While I have a PS5 and many play on powerful PCs, this could hurt their playerbase a little. Such is the life of MMO that sticks around many console generations.

I'm torn between seeing it as a legitimate post from OP that goes against everything the community has wanted for a while now, or if it's just a troll.

I for one am glad they're finally moving to update the graphics of the game, it's long overdue and I'm hoping some of the more *ahem* serious offenders are the ones to get the overhaul in the first wave (Raubahn, Hien, Pixel Exarch (poor raha)). In addition from the overview player animations will get some updating as well which is definitely another bonus. Noone is expecting of course 8k Super Ultra High Photorealism but the existing game IS starting to show it's age somewhat especially since back when arr was launched FHD would have been the mainstay but now we got more and more people with 4k monitors. Many of the textures in the game are definately like hair are definately in need of upscaling so regardless of the result I'm glad they're working on this.
