Ok they said i should so ill post my ideas here

I have to say that i love this games graphics, but id love to see a few extras added in as options for those whos video cards can handle it and want them. A few to consider would be:

Animated Cloth
Basicly moving parts on armors so it doesnt look so solid. parts that would move like the long peice on the hydromancer leggings or the straps on 15k glads armor should move more realisticly and lot stay still. Along with turning this option on and off it would include an option for wether or not you would like to just see this for your character or maybe youd like to see this on all the members of your team. if your still a little fuzzy look at guild cloaks and how they move when you move, like that basicly.


Extra renderings
i cant really think of how to discribe this option so lemme explain. On a lot of the armors that are skirt like (ringmail, hyrdromancer, etc etc) they black out the bottom where you would see your characters skivies and such. From what the support told me its becuase you really never see that unless you angle you camera a certain way so they decided not to include it. Id like to see an option to add those little extra renderings to make the armor look better. Not to sound like a pervet but when i angle the camera down it like to see an ele upskirt and not just an area of black. if you want an idea of what i mean look at lineage 2 and see those models . Hell they already let us strip our characters down so why not add this as an optional thing. again this should be added for just your own character or toggled to include more people around you.

Those are 2 i can think of if you guys can think of more then please suggest them.


on another side note something to add thats doesnt deal with the rest of my post. Allowing all characters to do the any of the dances. I know that there different to give the character some uniqness but id just love to see my femalewarrior do the female ele dance, or to see my female ele break dance like the male warrior. my really main reason for this is that i dont like the female warrior or female necro dances. post your respones to this as well.


Thankyou in advance to all those who approve and sign. I also appologize if my post is a little hard to read and follow. Grammar is not my speciality

glare. In alot of games when you look at the sun, you get a virtual glare on the screen that kind of blinds you. In places like the desert when you look at the sun, there's no glare at all, you just see the sun. Also, when you look at reflected images like in water or the crystals of ascalon or the desert.. you don't get glare there either.

More graphics would be great. I just got a new fast computer, with nice graphic card. I need to put it to use. I already have all the settings maxed.

Hrm.. Lineage 2? Sounds like a pervert to me. If you're making a reference to those 32DD Dark Elves, no I don't want something allowing to upskirt in game. I had my fill of having to be mooned when ever running up hill.

Lineage 2 was just a giant sex scandal to attract consumers (Despite its bad gameplay), I mean just the stretch emotes are bad enough, as a female dark elf you'd bend over and touch your toes. -_-

Full detail armor on other players on/off toggle.

I'm sure my rig could handle the extra load, and other high-end system that could. Shouldn't be very big change to the coding either.

nevin incase you cant read i said it should be able to be toggled on and off so you wont have to look at it, and i didnt like dark elves anyways. Light elves where the race i liked.

As a reply to Generik and Orbberius. Thats a typical female Dark elf armor in Lineage 2. I couldn't find any of the stretch emotes but thats a pretty good representation.

Fallen, a rerender of armor wouldn't be able to be toggled on and off like you're assuming.

Hmm... well to the OP, i really hope this doesn't happen...

And here I am hoping the eles will get better armor, something like what cynn wears in the preview videos!

It's been said that the GW engine will continue to improve over time, also so these are possiblities. I've already seen a few new graphics options.

I vote for better spell/skill effects.

Some of them are ok. BUT the rest seem lacking for the spell that is being used. Like explosions, lightning effects, Resurrection spells, enchantments, dash skills, the damn hundred blades effect that looks like 4 weak knives, Mesmer spells should look more flashy since they are using illusion to serve damage, Elementalist fire spells that look like a flame on a match instead of an intimidating fireball.

There is ROOOOOOM for improvement.

More armour variance is a great idea, flowing robes definetly and more detail in general.

Lineage 2 elves look very nice, intresting armour

Warrior tank seeks BBW elf must have freeflowing fully animated clothing and be rendered to insane detail, so he can have someone to show up the female elementalist
