So after you took the pics you reset the video settings to "blurry" so that you could actually move your char?

Not impressed at all by the screenshots. I still prefer Everquest 2 and Vanguard graphics over AOC.

I don't know whats all the fuss about graphics in AOC. Nothing special.

Behold! Rash of the Itch King comes in November! Quake in fear!

I'm sure it's just the lighting but in your pic wolfmann I liked the background...but your char looks like a plastic action figure. Good face detail, but look at his arms...

I like the field of flowers SS for AoC, but there is something vanguesly wrong with both AoC and Vangaurd art/graphics.

 

The characters are kind of plasticy and the scenery does fit together well and the rocks have a sort of low quality finish.

 

Both games strike me as simulatneously having both good and medicore looks and the overall effect is kind of hesitant.

Buildings are ok but have seen just as good in VG.Water is better than VG but lotr is just as good.The armor is not as good as VG armor and the character looks like wax.

Look at this screen..i can go anywhere i want in this screenshot and i mean anywhere.

Player boats can be made like this one and sailed on vg vast oceans..

You trying to put words in my mouth? who said anything about MXO,Planetside or SWG? not me. I said about EQ2,weather it was their design or not,they bought it back from the dead. My point was the screenshots that the OP showed are not that good.

Earlier in this thread you stated and I quote "SOE have a knack of bring the dead back to life just like they did with EQ2" which implies a trend.   I simply pointed out their knack has failed more often than it "succeeded".  No words being put in your mouth at all, just responding to a comment you made.  Understand?

 

Back from the dead or avoided death, very fine line.

Not to be a complete ass, but this game's graphics, while beautiful on nice rigs, are really nothing spectacular: It's not going to "WOW" you the first time as Oblivion did.. in fact I prefer Oblivion's art over AoC's.

Compared to other mmorpgs though it takes the cake; it just goes to show you that you can't excel at everything with finite resources. If Bethesda were to ever consider making an MMO version of Oblivion I'd totally be there.
