SOE even bumpmaps Water! NEATO!
Look at that cloud! It's has bump map!! 1337! K3//l!111111!
What will he do next?
The player model in the top right is disgusting. FFXI's player models look better than that... and has much much better artistic design too.
EQ2 may be very technologically advanced, but that just makes it all the more pathetic that its ugly as hell.
Why the heck would anyone complain about bump maps? It adds a lot to the visual quality and realism and is a feature well supported by modern video cards.
My only problem is that the strength setting of some of the bump maps on some charactger models and armor are set a bit high, but I've seen some improvement in this in some of the more recent screen shots, so they may have figured that out already.
The environments all look nice. However, if the staff here has any ability to request some specific screenies, I would love to see more out doors in daylight. The dimly lit environments can look cool and set a great mood in gameplay, but they don't come off very well in static screen shots. So please, we need some nice shots of the world geopgraphy and out door points of interest!
A final caveat, I hated WoW graphics based just on the screen shots, but playing the Stress gave me an entirely new, positive perspective on the graphics. Good screens can give you a taste of the potential for the engine, but final judgement really needs to be reserved untill you can experience the graphics in game.

Very nice.
I'm really looking forward to see how this game turns out.
Nice screenies!
I hope they show more of the spell effects in the future.

VERY NICE SCREENS
EQ2 will be the best
WOW! I can see the individual polygons on that one wall on the last picture. AMAZING GRAPHICS!!!!
