A look at LOTRO's Graphics - 'Amazing'

This post has been created to put an end to the people saying 'LOTRO graphics suck' or 'WoW's graphics pwnzor00orz LOTRO's'





I've took, and uploaded a fewof screenshots demostrating the power of the engine used (Yes, It's the same engine as the DDO engine, Why buy a new one when you can use the same great engine for free?)





Screenshots will be of normal gameplay situations, my graphics are full with AA x4 and AS x16





Enjoy.































Remember, Screenshots are JPG format which degrades quality, none the less, these proove LOTRO has among the best graphics to ever come to an MMORPG.

    Oh I see another side of the spectrum!

    Well from what I know I have a pretty Shi**y graphics card so I know for a fact that it will probably noob out! Um let me see this download is going to take two freaking hours...holy mother of God! Anyone else have this amount of time??

    Agreed. The enviroment looks nice as do most of the mobs, but the characters are not that great. I have every setting except stencil shadows on maximum (and it runs very well like that by the way, unlike some games which no matter what computer you have certain effect options will create choppiness) so it isn't a lack of power to run the graphics on their best settings.

    So would you say the game is worth the two hour download?

    Yes. Currently at level 8 and haven't really started crafting yet, but the early quests are promising and ratehr fun. Not just kill quests or talk to XXX person quests, although I would leave the OOC channel until you get out of the starting area, just a word of caution.

Anyways i not interested in ANY mmo on the market right now cept for age of conan and warhammer online plus the graphics arent the biggest thing to me its FUN and this game has none of it i like LOTR but this game is nothing like it!


    First off, i was expecting this, when i quoted a few people at the top.



    Second, Please use paragraphs (Seperating your text to make it easier to read)



    Third, My graphics card cost $130 , Which isn't the highest by far. (Nvdiai 7600gt xXx edition)



    Fourth, Theres no such thing as normal, Any machine can run ANY game on high , But your FPS will be super low (As long as your GFX is supported)



    Fifth, I stated it was highest graphics, and don't assume what MOST people will be able to do if you've no idea what your talking about.



    Sixth, If your looking forward to WAR and AOC with a PC that can't run LOTRO on full graphics, Perhaps it's time to get a new PC.



    Seventh, Lowest graphics are there for people with low-end computers, you don't need to use those settings, They are just there for a higher fps,



    Eighth, Please find a better word to use rather than 'Sucks' it makes you look around twelve, and it gives you the vocabulary of an eight year old.



    Ninth, Any game looks bad on low graphics (Fool?)







    I didn't want to flame, but if you say improper things and don't even use paragraphs, it's just flame-bait.

    Lmao you definetly made yourself look like a fool when you posted this. You don't need to have "the most expensive graphics card out" to have gfx like this in LOTRO .. Also I wouldn't say that  LOTRO has the best graphics.

    Hahahaha wow!

    I think we just saw someone get the behind handed to them on a silver platter...

    Touche!

    Well, These leet kiddies come a dime o' dozen.







    Most of them can't even speak/punctuate a sentence correctly.




  • tubaplayertxtubaplayertx Member Posts: 23

    Yeah no kidding! I use to play silkroadonline, and in the forums people would talk so badly. Increadibly hard to read most of the time! Right now I am actually waiting for an Acclaim game to come out called 2 Moons! It looks pretty rocking if you ask me! People don't know how to use forums anywhere though!

     

    *sigh*

    *sigh*

    [OT]

    The silkroad community is divided straightly in half, those who barely speak english and those who speak good english.

    I simply hate it when Im playing SRO and some turkish guy pm's me and asks something .. in TURKISH, it's not like I could read or speak turkish..

    And those globals hmm they usually go something like this: "fuk n00b b0tt3r omg gm ban plexx *some foreign mumbling* pwned"

    [/OT]

    edit: in the first screenshot above, look at that guys shadow.. its buggy! :P

    edit #2: It also feels like the first guy in left is floating in air!

    Maybe it's just me, but they don't impress me. They look too blocky. Look at the arms on that one model. Even the block streets don't look that good. Sorry guys, and you're gonna hate me but Vanguard graphics are light years past LOTRO.

    Here's my addition to the thread lol









    I have a pretty good system but nothing over the top intel 3.4gHz dual core, 2gb of ram, ati x1900xtx 512mb and running vista.
  • tubaplayertxtubaplayertx Member Posts: 23

    Hahahaha! Yeah I totally hear you! I actually stopped playing silkroad due to retarded botters! There is a huge uproar of them, and it just makes the game very unfair. You know you spend lots of money and your time to become the level you are (Which I was lvl 54) and then you see someone botting and not even doing the work themselves, its just very frustrating! Plus Silkroad fired one of its GM's and now he has his own botter program that SRO can't detect! Its treally stupid actually!

    As of the Turks in SRO, I don't mind it as much, but I think SRO should give them their own servers!
