Texture resolution.....

in my opinion, the gfx are slightly better than beta - and AA is on its way very shortly.

id just like to point out that this game is AN MMO and NOT BATTLEFIELD 3

what other MMO's do you see where the you are running around with next gen gfx?! for an MMO, id say this game looks pretty damn fantastic..


get. over. it. already. and. enjoy. the. game. . . sigh.

You must be new to MMOs. As an online game, MMOs are always years behind the current peak of graphics quality, so less information is being transferred over internet connections, and so people with lower-end computers can still play. Using the best graphics would cause too much internet lag in an online game.

No, they looked dated, especially in the cut scenes in single player, the characters in Doom 3 looked as good and that game is how old?

It's an MMO, an online game, it's just not going to have the best graphics for that reason. If you want great graphics you have to play offline games. It's just the way it's always been with MMOs.

Ok here we go.

I played:

SWG 6 years
WOW 1 year
RIFT 1 year
AION 1 year
AOC 2 years
EQ2 2 years
COH 2 years
WAR 2 month
Ryzom 1 year
DCUO 1 year
SWGemu quality tester
and more....

Sooo yes i have played my share of mmo's

look at rift and AION and AOC.......they can't be real then ??.... what about the upcoming Archeage that uses Cryengine 2...

There are so many things wrong with your comment i don’t know where to start.

EDIT: even SWG had better closeup textures at some places....

Better graphics are posible with no problems, the ....it's an MMO...is old.

No we dont want SKyrim graphics...thats not the point..if you read OP you will see i like the stile and...some...of the textures....but some of them looks like they were made in microsoft paint.... !!

Ok. I was playing around with the in-game texture quality settings, and didn't really notice any difference. I mean none.

So, I started looking at the client_settings.ini

In this file, there is a setting; TextureQuality = ?

The number range seems to be "0 = High", "1 = Medium" "2 = Low" (edit: ok, they apparently have more than 0-2. There are many different levels of detail. However, while "in-game", I am stuck at the medium setting, per the examples below.)

This allows me to change the texture quality in the character select screen.

TextureQuality = 2 (low)
TextureQuality = 1 (medium)
TextureQuality = 0 (high)

Easiest way to see the difference, is to look at the patch on my arm.

However, regardless of how my character looks at the character select screen, my in-game character appears to be stuck on the medium settings. This is regardless of which .ini file option I use, or the in-game setting I use.

In-game (regardless of setting)

Clearly, the textures appear to be stuck on medium in-game (with some color distortions at that).

Can anybody else confirm these details?
