running @ high resolution the characters look a little blocky

    The game is currently only set to Medium graphics for beta, when it goes Gold they will release the Hiz Rez textures.

    And honestly, when you have 300 + people on screen fighting, the graphics look just fine

  • I have no issues with the graphics.  The set armor graphics I thought are particularly nice.

    I thought the same way after playing WoW and the characters being thicker but after awhile I started to like the graphics just give it time. BTW... I think the goblins look the best..

    I think it's anything but ugly.  I think it looks perfect for a Warhammer MMO.  Character designs are some of my favorite in any MMO ever.

    What are you comparing them to? 

    Vanguard - 100 times uglier.

    WoW - 100 times cheesier.

    EQ2 - 100 times more plastic and uglier.

    CoH - 100 times less ridiculous.

    Lineage 2 - 100 times less cloned.

    LotRO - 100 times less awkward.

    Am I missing something?

    Not all of the graphics settings are in which is part of it, game still isn't ugly though so personal preference is playing a part.

    It's no uglier than your WoW's and your lotros.

    With the exception of WoW, I disagree with you on every other game you mentioned.  WAR is ugly in a very cartoony way, and much more so than the other games you've mentioned here.  I only hope the graphics somehow miraculously improve before launch.

    Wow ProfRed, how do you come up with such stupid generalizations.  It must require zero thought... impressive.

  • Kaynos1972Kaynos1972 Member Posts: 2,316

    Gameplay > Graphics

    And YES graphics are set for the BETA to medium, so i would at least wait for the launch before saying they are ugly.

  • ProfRedProfRed Member UncommonPosts: 3,495

    Uhh maybe you guys haven't played the games I mentioned recently...  I have played them all within the last 3 months, and if you compare them that recently to the characters in WAR you would see that WAR has far superior character models and animations. 

    Think whatever you want though...  Your opinion.

  • TeimanTeiman Member Posts: 1,319

     The game have very ugly interfaces. But the scenary are very interesting. Notice: I say interesting, not pretty.  Is more about what you see than how what you see looks.

    There are real creepy areas on the game, and stuff to freak about.

    About as much as thought as your post. . .

    It doesn't take a lot of thought.  It takes no thought.  It takes recent experience with the games I mentioned character creation process and comparing it to WAR's and applying my opinion to those experiences.  Nice first post though.

    Why not just put a helmet on your retarded ass?

     

    WHOOPS you are to stupid to think of that, my bad

  • ZoradinZoradin Member Posts: 28

    I actually like the games artistic design from the screenshots and concept art ive seen. I guess its the darker, grittier feel of the environment thats put you off. I love the character designs for the dwarven ironbreaker and the chaos chosen among others. But i guess you cant please everone.

  • jzuskajzuska Member Posts: 418

    Looks great to me.

    I honestly cannot believe your profile says your 27 years old

     

    Anyway back on track...  What all this is about is someone's opinion, nothing more and nothing less.  What one thinks looks like art someone else might think is garbage.  It all comes down to personal taste.

    I'd call the ground and building pictures ugly.  Overall probably 'good enough' is the best way to describe the graphics.

    Can you turn off that stupid running sound though?

    What's the game that changes sound depending on what surface you're running over?  Everyone should do that.

    i will admit i thought the beta footage looked horrible.  I cut off any possiblity for ever playing this game until I saw a vidoe from some convention with their grphics settign turned up.  It looked really cool, the textured, lighting, dynamic shadows, and even the once bland environment took on an entirely new atmospheric feel...  i refer you to abriel's review becuase its one of my favorite on here, and just check out this screenshot of his with higher graphic settings turned on... its great and not cartoonish at all.

     Abriel's cool review:

    If this pic (and the others viewable on that page) are not impressive, then Im a tard.

    How did he get the high res graphics?  Were they available in closed beta and disabled for this weekend's event?

    That picture looks amazing btw.

  • oinyooinyo Member Posts: 59

    I am American. Here in the USA we have the FREEDOM of saying what we want.

    The FACT is if you look at that picture billy posted 3 of the 5 toons have a helm on or there fugly faces masked.

    If you have a issue with your toon and want to spend 20 hours playing barbie makeover then good for you. If you want to be a real man and stfu then good. Cover your face up with a mask or helm.

     

    Problem solved. Lock this thread its pointless. If you dont like how ugly you are get a mask or helm. If you like how you look then dont.

    What is the issue?

    LotRO has good graphics, but their character creation and models suck.  They are horrible, and have been since launch.  It's actually nearly impossible for me to make a character I can stand playing in that beautiful game.
