The New Stealth Graphics in AoC insane!!

The new stealth graphics look great. Very clean and much more professional looking than it was before. I also think the little timers on your buffs are pretty slick to. Didn't get to play too much last night, but that was what jumpped out at me first. Love that Predator "Shimmer" effect that you see in the Predator movies

It is bad ass looking!!

When you look through your character, while stealthed, you should see sort of a hazy kind of water effect... not sure how else to explain it... if you see it, you will know what I mean... but it is pretty cool looking!

Assasins out there, it's time to come home. Love it!

    Is it utilizing those spiffy DX10 graphics? It must, I mean it's 9 months later? Why would something promised on release take 10 months to introduce? Can you think of any good reason????

     

    Yeah man stealth in DX10--sounds good, say how about linking a screen shot?

    Hmmm ... I say it's time for a new computer ... if u have a new one take it back, get it fixed, change your internet provider or whatever ... cause I have not crashed or had any problems with the game. Go figure.

    Why do you bother op? People around here still obsess about SWG and even more silly, UO Trammel. While this game aint on my personal radar, it is plopping around quite ok. Since FC manage to get the patches going and keep the community active, their game must be doing something right and earning them money.

    REMINDER: I played an assassin and as of two days ago, stealth is still coded poorly and the game fails at stealth.

    No it is not a realistic thing, it's because they can't code stealth correctly....team mates should not knock you out.     NPC's should not knock you out all the time, etc.

    It's a joke how little this game changed.

    I didn't play long enough, but I bet corpses still see you so you can't stealth.

     

     

    EDIT: Not to mention how bad an idea it was to give all classes stealth.

     

    Stop bringing up raphics, this game fails at gameplay issues, which trump graphics at least imo.

    I had fun playing games back in the day with back in the day graphics, I have not had fun playing AOC.

    Funcom has reviewed all of its assets relevant for
    impairment testing. This process has led to
    recognition of an impairment loss of around
    3,1 MUSD for Age of Conan due to a decrease in
    numbers of subscribers for the game. Funcom Q4 10 report.

    Insane? How Insane? As Insane as paying to beta test the game for a year? That Insane? That's pretty Insane.

    Or maybe it's making AoC more WIN?

    I enjoyed the changes to the tree lines. A lot of the tress now have been enhanced in preparation for DX10. Pine trees actually look more realistic, as the pine needles are more defined as one example.

    Several changes to fatalities have been added. I had one new one on my DT last night, where I kicked my enemy on the ground, then proceeded to impale him...awesome stuff.

    Finally new changes to various buffs an effects give a more visual indication of when a skill can and cannot be fired off, or when it is in effect.

    Yup, can't wait until DX10 is finalized...just as long as they take their time, and not un-stabilize the game in the process.

    Cheers

    I believe there were some posts here where people speculated that you are doing viral marketing for Funcom or something?

    Then "someone" reported those posts and now they are gone.

    Weird.

    Actually, there were quite a few topic hijacks, with more that are still here being reported...sad when people just want to discuss how the graphics have changed, and then it has to be littered with more junk and topic trolliing.

    Thanks

    How come you didn't get to play too much, too many crashes or disconnects?

    Can you still not stealth if a member of your group is in combat even if they are halfway across the zone?  Can mobs many levels below you still pop your stealth even with overcapped stealth skill?  Can a dead mob observingme still keep me from restealthing?  I ask these questions in all seriousness and not to troll because I haven't played since release.

    Graphics of this game were always the strong suit.  I'm more concerned if stealth is actually useful yet.

    It's better than that, FPS almost doubled. Used to have FPS in the range 30-40, close to maxed out on high. Now I have 60-70 solid fully maxed on high. The game has never been this smooth.
