Is it just me or are the graphics really not that good? I feel like they are on the same level as DAoC. I tried to set graphics options but there really was none. It just said: "PVE: High" and that is the extent of it.

 

I have 2 Nvidia 8800GTs and I really don't like the graphics right now. They bother me because they are all jagged as if someone didn't polish them off.

 

Help? Anyone know how to set them higher?

From what I've read, everyone is set between low-medium, no matter what you pick.  The custom options will be in for retail.  Maybe open beta as well, but they haven't said anything about that.

I don't think the beta has any high res graphics right now. Wait till release.

Virtual Reality MMO ... when?

As mentioned many many times before.  Beta is not intended to test computers, it is there to test the game.  There are no graphic adjustments available in the beta that is why everything looks the same.  They wanted the game running at the same level on everyones PC making it a lot easier to isolate issues.

 

As a side note, force AA and AF in your video card settings.  This will help smooth out some of the graphic issues.

The gfx options are only in the retail verson of the game, but you have Nvidia cards. Using your computers gfx settings you can improve this enormously by forcing AA on. Do that and you will see a differance.

Thank you. Mind telling me what AA and AF is?

 

And for those of you that are fanboys and jumping on me, get over it. I actually WANT to enjoy the freakin game but when the graphics are shitty, I don't enjoy myself (especially since I just got this awesome rig).

Interesting that everyone keeps saying "Wait until the retail version"

 

Does anyone have an official link regarding graphics being set to low/medium?

 

Thanks in advance

AA stands for Anti-aliasing.  What this does is it smooths out the jagged edges of on 3d rendered objects.

AF is Anisotropic Filtering.  What this does is makes visuals from a distance appear a lot less blurry.

 

If you set AA too high you will lose a lot of FPS.  AF really doesn't have much of a detrimental effect.

Do you have access to the beta forums?  If not you will have to take our word for it.  If so I am sure you are aware of the search function.
