if your main issue with a mmorpg is graphics then you need to relearn what mmorpg's do. We have discussed this many times tot, the reason why the graphics; specifically the player models, are not as impressive as others is because they plan to have large pvp battles of 100+ even maybe 500+ or even 1000+. They do plan to improve, in fact an update of the dwarves at dnl.net showed a very large improvement. So yea, dont be a troll if all you are going to say is that it has bad graphics.
While I agree the screen are amazing, most games I see now adays can create amazing screens. I want to know about combat, the user interface, and movement, let alone skill/class descriptions, level advancement and a plethora of information that just does not seem to be available, outside that of a barely acceptable vague description. It always seems that dev chats reanswer previously asked questions, and never really get to the meat and potatoes of the game.
shots like that can be gotten from a radeon 9500 alledgedly *wink*
although that being said, it is also... supposed to be... a very empty world where you just walk from place to place with no real goals, great for explorers i guess but for us slaughtering hordes, i think we may want to stick to warcraft. and as for dev contact, they... alledgedly... ignore emails concerning suggestions and dont give any info reguarding updates that would fix major bugs.
Anyone notice that in the last of those "High Rez" pictures that guy has a serious case of pock marks. Must have been a rough puberty. But I wouldn't say it to his face. He'd hit me with a polygon axe.

actually i think its just a coincidence lol. From what it looks like the big guy is actually in combat with the alligator thing behind the chick. The chick is crouching. I'm sure many of you have had fun making a pose etc. in an mmorpg, i know i have. Would be cool if there was a ducking ability but i think they just wanted to make it look liek that
I'm still a skeptic because in some screens, the grpahics look great. In some, they look like something on one of those westwood college commercials. >.< Also the player models are rather ugly, and WHEN IS THIS GAME GOING TO RELEASE?? Itls going to end up coming out 1 year and 4 months after the original planned release date. Unfortunately it's going to be hard to try this game before I buy it because I doubt anyone will have it, so I still don't know what I'm going to do. BlehH.
The screenys/vids I have seen lately have toon models looking alot smoother.
As for the Landscape the Lighting and Textuering look sweet. IMO
As for People Flameing others for looking forword to a game I dont get it.I have better things to do with my time then to half ass look into a game just to bash it over other boards + the people that are looking forword to it. If you dont like some aspects of the game and just want to point them out fine , its the straite hate I have seen others put into there post about a game that is not even out yet.
I spend to much time on gameing myself sometimes. But guys come on if you dont like something does it get you off in some way to spam hate across the world about it ?

On my try list now too. I was kind of depressed that there was no new good MMORPGs coming out in the near future. Now im not. Definetly some anticipation to play this game
WoW Blacsac these are totally amazing. I wonder what they keep delaying the game and the open beta with such kick butt graphics. Amazing just amazing and to think that they are going to let everyone play free for 6 months, oops my bad, the open beta was delayed also, now it is only 5 months... Just amazing, unless they delay that again also after they get 60 bucks off the pre order people and that in itself would amaze me
The weather pic is impressive. Hhowever any hope this game had of interesting me went down the toilet when I got the email saying for $70 friggin bucks I can get into SoG.
