GW isn't Fear or Crysis or Halo 3.
The graphics aren't, and never will be, perfectly puesdo-realistic, but they are still pretty dang good.

And that blurring in your "example" is pretty exaggerated. Fire does give off "heat" that radiate and distort images like it does in GW (PS, its actually ionized gases being released and burned).

Not to echo 1 Up and 2 Down....but what exactly is that supposed to be?
Where are those pics from? What I'm seeing is a photo and a copy of that photo with a bad photoshop blur/filter effects. What are we missing? Is this just an exaggerated "example" to knock GW graphics?

Uh, yeah. Buuut... the campfires in Prophecies are better than the campfires in Eye of the North.

So? Why are you paying so much attention to the campfires in the game?

The water is the same too. Looks like jello.

Your screenshots are lame. They should have been 300px wide.

Speaking of fires when is that pig going to be done cooking in Yak's?

Seriously there's a lot better things to complain about. Unless you have something constructive to say about the hazards of graphics filters on fake fires I think it's better if we just leave this alone.
