So anyone else think that is about time PWI had a graphical make-over. I mean with all the barbs sinking into their mounts and weapons going through clothes and pwi is not 3D compatible.

    I hate when I'm standing there, and someone with a sword decides to stand behind me. The sword goes through my pants and sticks out the front.. nothing more needs to be said on that issue.

    As much as I'd like better graphics you have to take into account that not everyone's computer is as capable of better graphics, they don't want to leave them out.

    Because graphical overhauls on an engine the current PW devs didn't even design sounds like it's up there on PW's list of things to do...

    I wouldn't put much faith in PW being able to graphically update this game without moving to an entirely new engine. If you were around for the genie update you could see how a relatively simple update destroyed peoples FPS. Just look at TW even right now PW can't deal with 160 characters at once.

    I've said this before but the dream PW is taking the game and porting it to ncsoft's version of the cryengine they used for ~removed~. If someone was so inclined they could actually do something similar to this. It's all available if you know where to look.
    I like to rub it in. Enjoying the game?

    i think the graphics are perfectly fine. you really expect them to be able to make a sword not stab through your crotch? lol.

    it really depends on your machine, and your graphics card, if its able to handle the graphics on high without game/computer lag. its expected to be laggy in places such as TW when you have about 80 people on each side, and most of those people are in your site range.

    I know I have a higher end GPU than most but even though I would love graphic update, I agree with you fully!! I still get lag spikes in full 80vs80 TW. But since when have they put out a [patch with a decent number of lag fixes.... lol

    Nonesense, this TES you mentioned can be maxed out with mid-class hardware ~35 FPS and lol "PC'S couldn't handle better graphics for PWI" complete nonesense...

    It'S all about the coding and how well it's done. Games with far better graphics then PWI run Smoother with even more players involved at the same hardware level and to go into the hardware thingy...

    a low end PC at around 500 $ can max out (or at least play smooth) most games out there, but sure hard to handle for your good ol WIN2000 PC...

    Thats the same reason why graphics in most recent games never improves (sarcasm out) they just don't want to keep all the low hardware ppl out...yeah sure...

    This is technical progress, either keep up with it or get lost and NO PC's arn't build to last more then at most 3 years...anything else is just...well not expected and thus get no further support...

    And do you guys ever heard off something like scaling =?

    It won't happen. Ever. This is PWE we're talking about, they don't know what to do with any other engine and they don't have any actual hardcore coders there. This is also a dying game. Completely overhauling a game engine would cost a tremendous amount of money in development and testing. It would be easier creating a new game. The profit is just not there, neither is the dwindling fan base.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    Wasnt there a post out there drifting around about PW-CN having to DL the latest version of DirectX after a maint else they couldnt play the game anymore because they redid the graphics? Idk if someone wants to go look but I could of swore about a month or so ago there was a thread about this >.> personally I wouldnt mind seeing some tweaks but I rather sit and watch hell freeze over before this actually happens to PWI.
    If I sound like I hate you, please don't take it personally...chances are I actually do.

    I live in Brazil and I have a computer that can handle 3 or more clients open with max settings, I see the price of the things in the USA and It make me jealus, PW isn't a heavy game and if youre with graphic lag because of PW then It's time for buy a new PC.

    They should at least use the same engine of Jade Dinasty, Ether Saga, etc, who played those games know that they used the same engine, they looks the same.

    With a better graphic they probably will remove this customization systen. But they should update the graphics since PW It's the main game of Perfect World.

    They know this too, why do you think they keep creating new (mostly half-assed) games? HoTK, LoMA, FW, JD, etc, etc....... yeah, they all suck compared to PWI and they'll all die (or already have) before PWI does. With all the money they spent making those pieces of junk they could have completely redone their flagship game and quite possibly made a lot more money.

    All that aside, I like the old timey look and feel of PWI (and the customizations, and double jumping, and a continuous world map, and other stuff the engine they use for their new games apparently can't handle).

    What could use an update and reduce lag without an entirely new graphic engine would be reworking the animations of many AoE skills. Tangling Mire could so with a serious reduction in shaders or whatever that stack of darkness is, Psychic aoes should be remade to have a specific sized single animation per cast (glacial shards and sandburst blast for example, draw 1 animation per target, which gets lagtastically nasty in TW/delta/9trials/etc.), some of the other classes have similar skills, I just see the effect of the psychic skills more, lol.

    Edged Blur is a fun Seeker skill that requires a little bit of oomph. It has purple shadows fly out from the body in all directions...

    Yeah, the new classes are really the most flashy skill-wise.b:surrender

    Graphics are fine, on par with other popular games, could be worse like Lord of the Rings, those graphics suck *** and look 1990's Kings Quest era.

    I wish they'd fix some of the animations...

    ... However my biggest complaint is the sound FX. They suck. They are always not aligned with thats going on (attacking or whatever), and sometimes completely turn off!? I play 95% of the time with no volume just because I cant handle the bad sound effects.

    The sounds sucks, this game also don't have a good music track >_> many games are know for their epic music, like Megaman 2 Willy stage music for example and other MMO's that I can't say the name here.

    I wish that the chars could have voices =( they only have voices when die or use emotes.
    Or at least re-work the skill animations of the main classes, they sucks compared to the new ones.

    yes id like pwi to show current gen content and change the animations slightly based on what size your toon is, but for F sake, no '3D' as they call it. (well it isnt really 3D, it's depth perception where all layers look like card board cut-outs) 3D is just a gimmick. nothing more.
