Locked to medium settings?

Hawkaron

I heard ALOT of people saying that the graphics were actually locked to medium settings during OB, but is that true? Does it actually look better now that the game is officially released? I know that people lie a lot before a MMORPG is released.

What we have seen is what we'll see again after release. Who say otherwise is in for unpleasant surprise.

The are no longer locked. Although you have little adjustment Default "High Quality " looks pretty good. Also you need to Force AA and AF on your card driver in order to smooth it out a bit but looks great.

So the graphics look a bit better now? I thought they looked superb even in OB, though.

 Yeah, unless there are a couple more settings that they didn't unlock for beta (though I don't  see why they would), it seems how it looked in beta is how it'll look in retail.

I had posted a response to someone who asked about it saying that they had the graphics capped for beta.. And then as soon as I logged in the next time, they'd removed that cap and it seemed to be on high quality.

The game, in my opinion, looks great though. Well enough detailed.

Also, animations are very smooth the hitching that I'd experienced in CB and PW was gone completely, even with many people around. Didn't crash once. No pathing issues on enemies and they'd come right at me when I attacked them at range, etc. etc.

Everything that I noticed as an issue in my testing has been fixed. So, barring any issues that might occur when the larger number of people come rushing in at retail launch - those launch day hiccups that every MMO I've played at launch seems to have (you know, the ones the opportunity cynics will immediately exaggerate to world-ending proportions and claim are the failure of the game all over message forums) - I think it'll do fine.

I've read that same rumor repeated many times, and never found it to be true. The head start servers are due to go live for US customers in 10 minutes and there is no patch, so I am assuming the graphics we have been seeing are the finished product. That's fine with me, as I think the game looks great and I believe the complaints are wildly overstated. But due to fanboys picking up and hyping a rumor/half-truth, I expect there's going to be much gnashing of teeth over this issue in the coming weeks. Fanboys do it to their own games every time.
