Shaders?

[Gramul]

It's not a matter of caring about something, it seems just like the "grass" issue to me, where people are prematurely complaining about something that clearly isn't ready yet. There's a good possibility that certain graphical features and such will be disabled initially.

But to be fair, none of us have any idea what will or won't be changed or improved.

It's probably better to play it safe and let them know the issues we have with it now instead of after the game is out, even if they already plan on changing it; because we really don't know their specific plans regarding it.

A decent metal shader shouldn't be taxing on the system at all.
That's one thing that's been bothering me about ARR is how everything looks matte. Like its all made out of the same soft texture.

I would be really surprised if they kept it like this. But what would really impress me would be some realtime subsurface scattering.

Lols, Subsurface Scattering would certainly be awesome, but maybe next decade
That stuff gonna revolutionize gaming graphics.
