Legacy characters?

[IveraIvalice]

Really? Hmm, well I will admit I upgraded my monitor since 1.0, so it could just be that...Either way, the game still looks beautiful!

It does, I understand why they did it and it runs very smoothly because of the limitations they set but I just miss the graphics of 1.0.
The thing I notice most is the lighting, in 1.0 there was noticeable ambience and bounce lighting in the environment that gave those nice blend shadows, the Midtone values.
In ARR the lighting is simply on or off unless there are independent light sources like those found inside, those look great. But the sun lighting is just on or off
It probly I just stands out to me most because I'm a 3D artist so I can see what others can't when it comes to stuff like this. Again a beautiful game

This is actually incorrect - SE imported all active 1.0 characters into ARR regardless of level/story progression (my level 1 GLA alt on Gungnir was imported for instance), so if one of your 1.0 characters isn't showing up in your character selection screen, it's possible it might have been on an account that was suspended/closed. Any characters you once had but deleted also will not have been imported either.

Otherwise, contact SE about this - during Beta phase 3 and 4 1.0 players were meant to check to see if their 1.0 characters had been properly imported into the game so it is sadly possible some might have slipped through the net so to speak.

Thanks - but been so long I can't remember what I had at what level, so as noted will just start anew. Great info for any other 1.0 refugees though.
