AOC sure looks good. To bad they use small instance and making the game feel really small |

Nope no slider. In DX9 it only has a check box so it is either on or off. In DX10 you cannot check the box to turn bloom on but whatever effect they use effect they use instead is almost painful to the eyes. Anyway nice screenies OP, I doubt anyone will ever call the game ugly. I miss DAoC

I'm not crazy about the decontrasting they do to distant scenery. Makes what should be really impressive panoramic views looks dull and washed out to me. As an artist, I understand what they're going for, but I think they need to work on it. When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world. |

He means that most of the places you see in the distance are unreachable because of walls / fences / mountains etc. |

And in other MMO's you don't have dinstance views with plenty of places you cannot reach? Seriously, I wonder how many people actually played the game beyond Tortage. There are plenty of zones that are pretty big and far from small. Hence, I still remember plenty of topics about people complaining about how long it took to reach the other side of sertain zones and that they wanted faster ways of travel. |

Yet there are still countless other games with hardly any walls at all. Vanguard, although the game isn't great, has great graphics and wide-open vistas. And from what I remember, the majority of zones were linear, because again, from what I remember, everyone eventually was funneled into the Cimmerian zones, which are linear mountain passes.

GREAT screens. No doubt AoC is visually the most beautiful MMORPG I've seen currently out. I loved a lot about the game - but about those walls and such... While some areas of AoC do a fantastic job of being immersive, making you believe in the world around you... others like the constraining 'hallway' at Conarch Valley or soemthing [I forget exactly what the name was] did kind of break my heart. I really wish the game had a much moore OPEN WORLD feel such as VANGUARD. All and all, I still say this is one of the finest MMORPG's out there and a lot of people complaining about it are just totally spoiled or expected way too much... and you can pretty much blame hype for that.  Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one. BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward. Sorry TSW. |

Thats not true...Cimmerian zones -Fields of the dead, Atzels approach,Ymirs pass are huge, and immerse zones, where u can reach any spot, even climb up the mountains.. Why so much trolling about this game?? |

Agree, Conal's Valley, Khopesh Province and other places are plenty big enough and i've played every mmorpg around. Citing instances as a reason not to play is brainless. One of the greatest games ever EQ was hundreds of smaller instanced zones all joined together. These muppets have no soul and no imagination. I moved from LOTRO as well to AoC and i don't miss running for 300 fucking miles to a tavern to deliver a beer to a Hobbit.... As for being funnelled into the Cimmerian zones, that's rubbish, every character i've had has quested in a different zone after Tortage, from 20 - 30+. The trouble is some people have no idea how to play then game imaginatively and then moan cos they thinks it's crap, well here's a heads up.... you're the one who is crap Astroboy. Go play NDS instead. |

There is no arguing this was a beautiful game. From jump it was the best looking MMO. Looks only get you so far though. It's like dating a smoking hot chick that is a complete moron. You can only take it so long. |
