The Beauty of Guild Wars

Hi everyone, as we all sure know, Guild Wars has great graphics and we all enjoy them but I don't think that most of us understand how really beautiful the game really is. I recently started a contest in the Community Contest forum for a Photo contest of real serious photos taken in the game. I really like taking photos like these and was seriously surprised by these photos at how good the game really looked. I have the finalist photos which are to be voted upon by the guru community to choose the winner. I am going to post the link to the thread so everyone can see Guild Wars in a different light. I am NOT doing this because I am trying to pull voters, it's simply that you guys can see how awe-inspiring this game looks.

Below is the link, if you want to vote that is your decision but this post isn't intended for you to.

Thanks for the heads-up, mate.

Too bad the screenshots taken with my Geforce4 MX won't win any award with "Beauty" in it.

I believe that guildwars automatically renders everything in ultra highest mode (Or whatever its called...) For that screenshot then reverts everything back.

That is if i remember correctly from my old gpu days.

This is true, but the end result may still look different on different cards due to different capability.

The Geforce4MX is essentially a re-named Geforce2 ultra card, and as such will not be able to render many of the reflections, bloom, and flare, used in newer areas of Guildwars. If you have a newer card you can pretty much simulate an old card such as Geforce4MX by turning off post-processing.

(As an aside it's interesting to see how much the graphics of Guildwars has changed over the last three years - compare the area around Lions Arch to, say, Grothmar Wardowns. Much more foliage and details, much more use of effects; turning off post-processing outside LA has virtually no effect, but doing so in Grothmar Wardowns....)

Nice contest

Already gave my vote, some very nice environments on the pics.
