better from what? I can post better looking screenshots from any other mmorgp out or in development right now. This games graphics look like pure shit. AC2 , 5 years ago: http://img.gamespot.com/gamespot/images/2002/e32002/pc/asheronscall2/ac2_screen013.jpg http://img.gamespot.com/gamespot/images/2002/pcnews/032902/ac2/ac2_screen006.jpg http://img.gamespot.com/gamespot/images/2002/pcnews/022602/asheron/asheron_screen004.jpg Lineage 2: http://img.gamespot.com/gamespot/images/2002/e32002/pc/lineage2/l2_screen003.jpg http://img.gamespot.com/gamespot/images/2003/pc/lineage2/0423/lin_screen003.jpg http://img.gamespot.com/gamespot/images/2003/pc/lineage2/0423/lin_screen001.jpg Age of Mourning: http://www.ageofmourning.com/screens/humanscreens/92.jpg http://www.ageofmourning.com/screens/humanscreens/33.jpg http://www.ageofmourning.com/screens/humanscreens/h9.jpg

Sorry, but DnL graphics blow any of those out of the water. Lineage 2 might have wowed us last year, but not now. DnL may have it's problems and it might not, but one of those is not the graphics, they rock.

I disagree DnL's graphics are outdated and not anywhere near as good as even Mournings. AC2 and L2's were much much better. DnL's graphics look much more like a 2001-2002 released game rather than a 2007-2009 release. While DnL's graphics may look initially bad they get better once you get airborne and get a look at the world. But despite DnL's poor graphics they are not a gamebreaker. At least IMO the graphics are fine enough to play without becoming overly annoying. It's the poor game gameplay, poor combat and lack of any content that really hurts DnL. But in reagrds to this thread I agree with Choy this thread is a fraud. DnL's graphics are 4-5 years out of date. The charcter models look awful and are stiff. The artwork is beyond horrible. The few buildings in the game are poorly done and don't properly fit into the terrain. Combat animations are bad. The graphics are poor for two reasons they are outdated and implemented poorly thanks to the artwork, placing and overall general low quality of all features of DnL. Farlan annouced recently they hired two fanboys as Devs. It seems quite clear Blacksac is on the payroll. He religously bumps this fraud of a thread and others in hopes of suckering in new people into Farlan's scam and hiding legitimate threads discussing the poor state of the game. He has to my knowledge never posted not even one post of substance on this board. Like most of the fanboy trolls here he spends his time advoiding any discussion of the game, calling people names and bumping his fraudelent threads. Is there any doubt that he is on Farlan's payroll? I don't mean anything personal and generally don't engage in personal attacks but Blacksac like Dnl and Farlan is a fraud. He personally attacks, calls people names who have the nerve to discuss this games shortcomings and does his best to spread Farlan's lies. He like the other fanboys will never actually attempt to post why they say DnL is a great game or engage in any logical disussion where they could try to build a case for DnL. That would require well more lies and alternate reality theory than even the Bush administration is capable of. The graphics of DnL are not terrible but they are certainly not good. They are outdated by 4-5 years and what one would expect of a game released in 2001-2002. Daoc, released in the summer of 2001, has graphics that are superior to what we see in DnL. The high rez pictures posted here look much better than the graphics in game even with setting the game on high. Add in the poor artwork, poor placement, poor character models and poor overall quality and the graphics are very bad. The only saving grace for the graphics like the game is the view of the world from high up on a dragon. The world is truly beautiful and is the games best feature. It's to bad they have been unable to build a game to compliment this world. DnL's is a sad and tragic story but aren't all dying games tragic. |

I'm not entirely certain why it's important to compare games' graphics. All games have different types of graphics for different reasons. It depends what they need to achieve. From what has been reported often enough, is that they spent alot of time reworking a brand new rendering engine into the game, and making certain that they didn't have to completely redo the art assets they had inplace. Code is easy enough to work with as long as you have a robust versioning software in place. But when it comes to art assets, it's always very difficult to start from scratch. There are no shortcuts to creating high quality Primary Source Models, so they wrote a great deal of code to create import/export tools for the new renderer. That wasn't the only thing they did either. They had to staple it to their middleware and audio engine too. So all in all I think they're doing a great job since ripping out and adding in a new renderer in mid-schedule would have crippled and even put a full stop to any other project, these guys have kept on trucking. Hat's off to them. I just really hope that the project gets completed in time for there to be enough people left to want to play it. I lost interest a while back, but it doesn't mean that I will not try it. Well that's enough of my bla bla bla. Take care all, Carrara |

Hows is that Black? The animations are jerky, the casting animations and speel effects are hokey. granted the "hokey" part is opinion but the crappy FPS and jerkiness is obvious to anyone with a eye. I miss DAoC

Didn't mean to offend Jack, if you felt I was. Your view on the movie is completely valid. I also see it as not perfect, but still nice. It was done in the spirit of the community and was part of a successful event, so I think it is important/relevent and worthy of a positive comment. Your a hard man to knock their effort so casually, but I do smile at times when you post, as I can always predict your response... like I said Jack (in a good way)... Your meaner than a junkyard dog... your a little like the evil guy in movies you actually like more than the cheesy hero |

A couple of small things that are NOT in SoG, but something to look forward to in DnL
Siege Engine
 Trade Wagons
  Dragon picking up a mob with it's teeth and throw it to one side
  Player made castles with detailed interiors
   Tree City
 This video (62mb) shows a Dragon picking up mobs with its mouth and throwing them (Other videos show fire breathing Dragons not in SoG). You will see mobs and players get blown off their feet from nearby explosions and Gollum foot stomps, and other smaller detailed things you will not see in SoG... enjoy!

I thought I might as well put some screenshots that I took while playing
Look at the beautiful water and the extremely detailed terrain. Look how the water MAGICALLY disappears into a perfect straight line. Look in amazement as my elf ranger looks like he's posing as one of the guys from the Village People. And one more
My Dodo can scale tall cliffs! This world is indeed amazing. Btw I think my toon threw out his back or something...looks painful |
