Of all the MMO's to pick on about graphics you pick this game? The expansion on a high computer with everything turned up looks fabulous. Even the early zones look good on high settings.
There must literally be a hundred half baked F2P MMO's out there that look like someone's high school art project, and this is the one you have a problem with graphically.
I played Rift when it came out and enjoyed it. Left after about a year. Came back a few months ago and it looked OLD. WoW looks old but is expected, but Rift looks older then a game of its relatively young age should. Not sure why but it looks older now at half the age of WoW then Wow does at 10+ years.
I always considered the gameplay more dated than the visuals. However, some of their animations always kind of bugged me. Mainly the elves and how they run like circus clowns.

But if graphics are so importend why do millions play so many games with graphics like WoW or even worse?
Because it's a bout having fun(can't immagine fun in WoW but im hater:P) graphics overall comes for most games in second place or even third fourth.
Gameplay-Story is what people interest and playing with friends(WoW again).
I'll bet many who play RIFT because they like gameplay not because of graphics.
You accuse other of making no sense but your topic make no sense at all your just here to promote your beloved WoW and that make no sense to me.

HOLY CRAP, PEOPLE!! He asked a simple question. Why do you people have to be such pukes about it.
They get offended and take it personally when some one calls their game into question. Its like when you tell dmkano arche age is pay 2 win.
If graphics are what is important to you then grab one of the multitude of Eastern made games. Those tend to excel at graphics, but the game play is usually crap. I have no problem with Rifts graphics, but their game play for me falls into the crap category.

Explain why me asking "Will the games graphics ever be updated?" makes no sense at all?
I am sorry but it appears this forum is filled with haters and low lifes who just want to cause aggro. I asked a simple question, I am not here to flame or insult others. I am sorry if this disappoints you.
It's unlikely that the graphics will be updated as you wish because that would require a lot of time and money. The actual incoming revenue isn't high enough to justify it. Never say never though.
Struggling to play, I know that graphics are not everything but the reason I can always come back to WoW is because of the art style and how pretty the game can look. With Rift, because they have chosen to go for a realistic art style many years ago, the game now looks incredibly dated.
Again, I know that graphics are not everything but if I am gonna be playing an MMO for many months/years, it needs to be pleasing on the eyes, at least my eyes.
Do you think they will ever update the graphics?
The art style isn't the problem, it's the mediocre textures and models. WoW recently updated their textures and models, so it looks much better.. Rift just needs to do the same, but it's very time consuming and costly, especially since they don't have a big budget or as many employees.
I disliked the male character models from day one. Why does my heroic sword wielding guy have the physique of Jason Segal when he did forgetting Sarah Marshall?
Rift looks fine to me, though some of the Seratos zones from Storm Legion looked a bit ugly/cheaply done. That's as far as I made it. I haven't seen the newest content.
I like the art style, as well. It's a serviceable game and a very good f2p option.
RIFT doesn't really look all that bad to me. The reasons I don't like RIFT have little to do with the graphics. Based on graphics alone, I would probably be playing it. I don't feel like they're too cartoony like WoW or Wildstar which I just couldn't get into based on how terrible they look to me.
Every time I'm reminded that RIFT only came out in 2011 I'm a bit surprised. I feel like RIFT has been around for a good decade. It's probably due to the fact that so damn many MMO's have come out since then that it just feels older by comparison.
I dont care too much for wiki but I think it gets my point across. And for the heck of it, since I'm so generous, they even developed Defiance and Trove. You're welcome...
This game is dated indeed...I left the game due to that outdate...the class guide became old and outdated...the Auction house even had the same stuff today from when i left for 1 year ago..The devs even tryed to lure me back by sending tons of shit to my in game mail that was expensive and hard to get costumes..now ehen you log in you it for free in ur head....evedence enough for telling this ganme is outdated.
A shame because i liked the game and it was good...always something to do...but now its boring and not very rewarding..and in the end...fdor what rewason would you use time on outdated gear....
Eventually, they all look dated. There's nothing really for it. Updating all of the graphics is an enormous task. Look at Anarchy online and how long they've worked on it.
graphics are "ok" , some zones are really cool and the sky is really well made in some zones! , however spells and skills animations have been always horrible outside 1-2 spells that look "good"
WOW is more like comic and you can read comic books with almost same style for years and still like it.
Rift is realistic which some people cannot hold for long just like yourself, compare the photos you took 5 years ago and now. Huge difference.
Makes no sense at all, comparing apples and oranges. In a graphic sense wow compared to it's cartoon counterparts looks dated to me (their block squared lines). As it should for 2k4. Take Wildstar, same look yet for a cartoon is a graphic pig, very detailed. Rift still has pretty decent graphics no doubt. Just because a dev uses the 8 box crayola on their game graphics doesn't mean it never ages.
Don't get me started on eastern graphics cause they're years ahead of what western devs spew out. Eastern mmo's are getting close to rpg graphics when that happens I'll be one happy gamer.
The Gfx is still ok but the whole game is out of date....nothing happens..i left rift for 1 year ago and tryed to log in today...everything was the same since i the day i left...same shitty AH with nothing in it..at least i got a new crap mount in my in game mail for free..that mount costed an fortune back then..now its free..evidence enough to show they lure you in the game again..
