and mmorpg companies lie through their teeth until they release their game. how many times has this happened?

I've seen screenshots and other footage from higher settings. It looks pretty freakin good compared to the stuff that's generally shown. I'll just have this thread bumped at release.

i hope you're right, at the end of the day we all want to play a great mmo. I'm on  a serious roll of being lied to by game developers that i choose  to believe that the graphics we see now are more or less what they will be at retail. levels is what kills mmo's, it makes leveling the main focus of the game. I want to play in an online world not an online leveling game. WAR will be the same old same old with a more shallow version of RVR than DAOC had.

i don't know how you'll like the graphics on highest settings. I'm just saying when you raise them, they look much better than the bland shit you usually see. Also, I think I remember Hickman or Paul saying that the problem with other devs is that they try to create a whole world instead of a game. But i'm not sure on that.

Hm. WoW orcs are rubbish looking http://wow.allakhazam.com/images/fashion/ToughScorpidBracersOrc.jpg ---- Lol!!

WAR orcs follow what orcs were originally designes to be, brutish, dumb creatures with huge teeth, not with big eyes and pony tails and the same armor humans can wear -.- http://war-universe.com/orc_01.gif

Elves are meant to be in over the top clothes, elegant looking, like this http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/home/images/screenshots/HighElf-SwordMaster-008.jpg

Not stupid, ugly, dodgy hair and skin coloured glowing eyed things with huge beards-  http://crystaltips.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/46378010.jpg

Have I proved my point yet ^^

Also note, the WAR pics are from beta, which is locked to low settings, and the game doesnt even have its final lighting system in yet, where as the WoW ones are from a fully finished product of many years, and the WAR ones still look better!!

IF it looks like how the screenshots do then it's gonna tank

Yeh you wouldn't release videos and screenshots on the lowest settings so saying they're on the lowest settings is dumb, sure it may not have all the lighting effects in yet but I'm sure it's maxed out on what settings they have in there.

Absolutely!  Coz if the WAR community has proven anything at all, it is that they are shallow aesthetically driven kids who put a purty picture above all else.  Game will tank on all levels.  Maybe they should add some pixel tits too.

Everyone cares about graphics, I mean in a mmorpg where i'm spendign ALOT of time in and developing a character over time, the game has to have nice artistic graphics where I want to go explore and care about my character. WOW did it for me but a shame it doesn't have more customization and EQ2 didn'yt do it for me cause the graphics suck and I didn't care to explore the zoned to fuck world.

No shit.

That does not mean that graphics are without importance.
