Oh please, it was one smiley

I like to see the screen shots, but if you can't see the extreme difference between the tree lighting and the world lighting, then I can't force you to see it it. It is just something that pokes me in they eye, like in Bugs Bunny when you see that off clolored object, you know it is going to break or something....

I took some screenies of VG tonight and will post them side by side to AoC. So if you want , post the best night time picture you have  and try to make it 1440x900 ... 

Mordria I am glad you are having a blast in the game, games are mean't to be enjoyed, but some of us, myself mostly have been playing and analysing games for a while and it is a hobby to critique the work that is produced. Just like a movie critic dioes with movies , just consider me the Ebert of mmo critics

as far as im concerned, if you dont play the game or are not interested in playing th the game, you really have no reason to be posting here.

Those trees are aweful, they are a complete train wreck to the game.

Misty Mountains.... trees fit the game.. bello , Lake Evendim tree fit the surroundings

 

 

I couldnt get immersed with AoC , the trees are just constantly stabbing me in my eye...AoC sky map is like looking at a nothing and then you see the worst clouds ever made, I seriously would fire the sky mapping team cause they failed. I say this rinky dink little cloud that look like it was missing from the the game doom....

From a lot of games out there, AoC is the most envirnomerntally lacking game to be released, even VG has better trees and sky map, truthfully , VG's night time sky map is the best I've seen , ever....... AoC just fails at the over environment becuase of the xbox360's limitations.

Man I cant think of details of less importance to me to make or break a game. I am sorry to say i cant even take your dissing AoC serious, because it dosent make any sens to me  The trees and the sky? whaa?

Im sorry but im not seeing anything outstanding from those shots.Maybe it looks bettet in motion but in stils.... i dont see this being that much advanced than several of the current MMOs.

Like i said, maybe it looks better in motion than it does in stills. So far those pics dont show anything that outshines others.

Last night in Khemi I found another gem. It was around noon time and my AoC colours seemed so dull and bland. I had to check if my monitor settings had been tampered with which it hadn't. I found out why when I looked to the skies. The weather was overcast! That's a great feature in my opinion.

nice pictures. However, I wouldnt use that zone to do the pics in ;)

Its the most linear zone in the game. You HAVE to follow the path and cannot stray far off.  This canyon (while the quests were nice, no doubt) was the worse for me in terms of a Massively Multiplayer perspective.

It reminded me exactly like the Guild Wars where you had to follow the path around with the Prince King.

it's a VALLEY.

 

Besides, there are paths all around and through those mountains. You don't HAVE to use the paths, but have fun falling to your death.

Maybe you would enjoy playing in the desert more...the wide open spaces might make you feel less confined. Maybe the whole game should have been set in wide flat plains and desert so people wouldn't have the realistic limitations of TERRAIN to nit-pick about.

Isn't it great that all areas are not a square with flat surface?
Isn't also great that you cant walk up on a cliffside?

Why don't all games just lay out a flat texture on the ground and threw as many players possible into the area?
