    Nooo not that. On the same screen where you put in your password now there's an Engine Quality setting that you can set between 1 and 6. Put it on 6, but when you get in game you can set the graphics all the way up with 4xAA. The engine setting lowers the detail in the far terrain, something you don't really even need when just playing on foot.

    If you think the graphics look dated, then you're really doing something wrong or else you haven't played in a while or else you're not being truthful. The graphics on MY system with engine setting 1 but all the bells and whistles turned up looks VERY nice, with nice use of fog and lighting in particular. Makes WoW look like 1999 if you ask me but what do I know I've only been playing video games since they came out.

    Disclaimer: I am not recommending this game unless you want to pay to test beta. It reminds me greatly of UO in many ways, that's why I'm still playing. It's very very unfinished.


    Like I said.
    I have tried every Engine setting from 1-6.
    Pushed every graphics option in-game.
    "/setenginequality high" actually makes the game look a tad better.
    I actually put my system settings at: Engine 6, All Max settings in-game and /set enginequality high.

    My Desktop Specs are:


    Asus P4S8X
    Intel P4 2.4b
    ATI X850XT 256mb (Catalyst v6.3)
    1.7gb DDR RAM
    Audigy1
    Logitech G15/G5/Z5500
    Cable ISP

    I also just received my new laptop which has:


    Sager 5760
    Intel Core Duo T2500 (Yonah)
    Nvidia go7900GTX 256mb
    2gb DDR2 RAM
    Onboard Audio
    Logitech G7
    Cable ISP

    If you honestly do not think the graphics are dated, then I want what ever it is you are smoking.

    I have been in D&L since SoG and the very 1st day of Pioneer Launch.
    Last I logged in was about 2 days ago I think or whenever the last patch was put in.
    Like I said before, the game somehow reminds me of Irth Online when I did the Beta for it.
    Yes I do belive that D&L is a bust and I have logged in just so I can check any changes in D&L.

    And yes I can login even though I am a Pioneer REFUNDEE!


    PS:
    Why are you telling me to put my system on Engine 6 when you have your system on Engine 1?
    Alot of what you are posting are very contradictory.

    Actually each and every part of your replies, you contradict yourself.
    Its as if you have dual personalities and I have worked with Schizo's during my Psych rotation of my Nursing course in college last year.

    That's what I'm saying too. If you think they are dated you can't be looking at the same game as me. The game looks great, it just doen't work very well.

    Oops lol it was obviously a mistake, I'm saying to put in on 1. Take your ritalin. You can't have it on 6 no matter who you are. Try it again on 1 at present, as in now is what I'm saying. And I will save the Nurse jokes because I admire your profession.

    Edit: also, your computer is great and similar to mine. Mine's ATI Radeon X800 pro 256mb with 2 gigs of dual channel ram and 1.93 Ghz AMD. It really looks great and even on engine mode 1 you can still see 50km and there's no lag. Just that everything in game seems broken atm.

    Whatever you say.
    I view things in realistic terms.

    I have played the game in Engine 6 and all settings in max w/ /enginesetquality high since SoG.
    I will try to put it in engine 1 maybe once I get off work in a few hours.
    But I do not see how that will change what I will see as they have not done any graphical changes to the system and I have tried all options since May 30th.

    Yeah, that's why you probably hate the game so much. NO ONE can play with it on 6 without earth shaking lag.

    Good! That's all I'm sayin! Only try it on 1. But, once you get in game you can have all that stuff up to Highest setting.

    Show me once where I contradicted myself. I make a one digit obvious (if you've read this threads title) typo, and you start going off about how I'm like the psychos in your nursing course. So that's why I told you to take your ritalin, don't get all huffy it was a joke. Just try it again on 1 on your half troll. Send a tell to Humongous.

    No I wasn't talking about your Engine typo as soemthing you have written contardictory.
    I am talking about soemthing else.
    Others in this thread has already pointed out some of the contradiction in your posts here.
    I will show it to you specificly once I get home as I am trying to finish a report.
    But like I said, please re-read each and every post you have made here so you can fully understand your contradiction.

    And what I mean by teh Psych ward is due to your contradiction in your posts here.
    Like I said, its as if you have dual personalities.
    You say 1 thing in 1 sentence and it is followed by something that would contradict it.
    Sorry if I offended you but that is not my purpose.


    Also.
    I thought we are talking about the "Amazing Graphics" and not the Lag/Gameplay?
    To see just this "Amazing Graphics" shouldn't one put in the best options?
    I am not putting lag into account at this time, just the graphics you speak of.
    Putting the game options in either Engine 1-6 does not matter because the Graphics are the same.
    So what if you get a few more FPS at a lower Engine setting?

    And please understand, I have already done your suggestion in the past and I did not notice any major difference in Graphics.


    Like I said, I will try to see if I can still login to D&L once I get home from work in a couple hrs.

    Hopefully they haven't fixed the Refundee can login issue

    Unfortunately at thsi time I am getting teh "Empty message" when i login to D&L.
    This just started to me today and I ahven't tried to lgoin for a coupel of days, so it must be caused by either the latest patch or Farlan fixing the refuindee issue.
    Personally I do not think its the latter.

    Oh well, I do have better things to do anyways than to be shown what I already have known.

    Glad to see you got your refund. I'll be getting mine too unless they fix Invert Mouse within 5 days. I got a hang glider tonight though through some pioneers generosity and it sure is fun.

    Haven't you been reading what I have posted?

    I have completed my refund way back in January.
    Yet I was still able to login to D&L until Yesterday.

    Setting the graphics engine to 1 makes every difference. It reduces the lag to zero so you can actually experience the game and let me tell you this game while very unfinished, has some amazing stuff that no other game has right now.

    Some guy gave me a ride on his dragon to get me to some town just south of Balrok so I could buy a Hang Glider and it was amazing! Flying wherever you want in an MMORPG was just awesome. The guy lent me 300 copper and I got a Hang Glider. It's pretty sweet, you need a big dropoff or a big hill and you press 0 on the numpad and take off. It's tricky to stay aloft but you can cover great distances and it's just plain fun and it looks fantastic flying over cities and just anything. Now I have a hang glider to search for good hunting grounds. It's very kewl!

    You were wrong I never contradicted myself as you obviously know. Just because you disagree with me doesn't mean you have to pull out some "you have dual personalities" b.s. insult. You can't play anymore and I'm sorry you didn't get to see what the game can be. They have patched the game obviously since you played several times. You got your refund so you can move on now, they didn't wrong you. They righted you.

    It's not finished at all, but don't tell me the graphics suck, I've seen them on my system and I've played them all. DnL graphics are better than WoW, that means they're better than the biggest  MMORPG ever. Stop spouting your "1999" catch line you seem to pump into every thread. It's just not true.

    I think it was just the area I was in. I started a new character Half Troll and have no problems now. There is much broken with this game remy, but the stuff that is right is really so ahead of its time. Got a Hang Glider last night and it's so freakin kewl lol you can jump off cliffs and fly great distances.

    Edit: Also, I'm sick of every other game out there. I would sooner perform Laser eye surgery on myself with a modified toaster oven than play CoV.

    To each his own. I play CoV with 4 close friends of mine so it's fun for us. I can't play CoV solo. Combat and character creation is top notch though. But whatever, have fun with your Alpha-build flight sim. Let me know how fun it is after the "revolutionary" handgliding novelty wears off...

    Not dissin, and CoV would be great fun with friends, it's just a little too arcadey for me. DnL has amazing potential and you know how I like unpopular games.

    Well from reading the DnL forums I learned that the only survivable way to level a caster is to put some points into fighter and depend on that to kill enemies.

    Of course! I'm so stupid! It all makes sense to put your points that way. I'm so naive with my outdated thinking that a spell caster should put his points towards, you know, casting spells. It's only logical to put them into fighting. I forgot that when I made my Nanotech in AO the first thing I did was dump points into 2 handed blunt weapons.

    Good god this game is lame.

    Edit: I may not be able to cast a spell here, but I can still see into the future. I see Anarchyart getting a refund in 5 days.

    So you have/are playing the game then? Several players speak of just this situation. I found just trying to get into the game without it crashing my system much more trying than getting mobbed and killed 7 times over. After reading the boards, I knew that would happen , so a friend of mine tried to keep them busy for me after about my 5th time. His weapon however disintegrated and he had to find someone to get another. We started trekking and I crashed again so we gave up.  We did not see anyone around but we did some NPCs and such but no players were near us.
