Even on absolute max with AA and all settings on high this game looks worse than GW1 and that came out....how many years ago?

Is there any way to make this game visually appealing?
What would you call a 2012 game?

If BW and other companies would just stop catering to the poor and ignorant. We would have a really nice looking game.

Though I have my suspicions about BW being able to afford it, know how to create it etc.

Moral of the story. If your Min specs aren't listed on the box, don't buy the game then complain. Upgrade, then buy it.
I saw another post you made about the game engine. Do you know if this games hero engine can even offer up dx10/11 features?

It already looks far better than any other MMO I have seen other than Aion on max settings. Even then the facial expressions on TOR are better.

I really don't. I'm not a programmer or developer in any way. My post inquired more in depth as I'm curious as well.

I would hope that it can, but it all depends on who's driving.

Yes, they can upgrade the game to DX11 and have said they may look into it in the future.

OP doesn't know what he wants; only that he wants to complain.

Graphics are fine, and were designed with a cartoon'ish edge, intentionally. Performance wise it's a great decision. Graphics wise, I don't see much problem, it looks great on my PC, but then I have a super computer.
If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.

Don't forget when this game started being developed. They can't be 5 years into development and go, "Alright new pretty engine came out trash everything we worked on for 5 years and start over."

Looks nice on my machine, far better than any other MMO out there. Sure it's not BF3, but MMO's never have FPS quality graphics.

They do NOT USE HERO ENGINE.

If you actually did some investigation, you'd know that it was just the baseline platform. It's been customized to holy hell to make a unique engine.

It's amazing to me how one person will make a wildly inaccurate statement about something, and then it perpetuates into this mass of blatant ignorance.
