Breaking down some of the screenshots

[Felis]

The shadows are an upgrade, but everything else looks like a downgrade, and those aetherytes are very ugly. To think S.E. shows a demo on worst settings would be a stretch of the imagination, so I think it's safe to say, they downgraded graphics.

Those aetherytes are subscribed (concept art or artwork) and aren't in any screenshot.

edit: ok, there is one aetherite in one screenshot, but I don't see anything wrong with it from the distance

Really, you see nothing wrong with those tacky green loops? Our current aetheryte design looks way better.

Purely subjective. I think they look fine.
