• • VG is still unpolished, after 1.5 years it almost hasn't improved. The world lacks atmosphere.

    this all adds up to something, and its almost too obvious to post.  Either you have a poor memory and havnt logged in the past year.. or you're playing on very low video settings.   
    I disagree with everything you've said as far as graphic quality goes with the exception of animations and NPC life.  The rest of it must have to do with your video settings, because the shadows/lighting/reflections are all proper.  The game also has fogging and halos in fog.  Its especially noticeable at night time when viewing distant lighting.  There are also birds that fly and critters that run around on the ground.  The water reflections correct.  Not sure why you're seeing it with such poor quality?

    I have been playing with all of the settings maxed out (even maxed out more than what is available in the UI in the ini file) during beta and 1 month after realease on an ati x1900xt-512. Last week I have played it maxed out with an nvidia 8800gt.
    Yes, as I said I see no shadows apart from characters and trees. Can you show me a screenshot with world object shadows (houses, fences, etc... objects have no shadows).
    And yes I don't see any water reflections. Could you also post a screenshot?  I'd be glad to see these shots as I can't see this ingame and I have never seen any shots with world object shadows or water reflections. I hope it's my settings as you say.
    As for the other engine features, yes some of them are there, but I still see so much is missing compared to other games. No only compared to lotro or aoc, but even free to play games like perfect world.

    Bigmango you do relize that if they put shadows on everthing like you want no one will be able to run the game with them on anyway
    So you want them to make it more like EQ2 well guess what ive got a top of the line computer thats been playing vanguard at 1920x1200 sence day 1
    I cant play eq2 anywhere near the top settings you know why , because it puts shadows on eveything its laggy as heck and the shadows aren't even displayed properly, there all messed up and only display proberly from certain angles and distances To me stuff like that ruins the world more than it adds

    I started dealing with sony when they took over Vanguard which ive been playing sence day 1 And in that time sony has gave me 4 free months to EQ2 Iv'e never subbed to EQ2 or any sony game but vanguard.
    Now in my books that make's them far above any other company ive had to deal with when it comes to mmo's. Ya i know its marketing but who cares.
    Think a couple times blizzard said they would give me a few free days because of downtime because of a patch. But me and my wife both had accounts and neither one of us ever did get the days we still got charged on the same day that we always did

    for one, this isnt the swg forum so I could give a rats ass about the NGE, and second SOE has pulled TONS of crap on gamers to make us mad at them, you are naive...

    Soe is no different than any other company in this industry. You're the one been naive if you think they are

    SOE receives more hate posts on forums than any other developer in this mess we call an industry, I think that is plenty of evidence that they are the arch fiend. I have nothing against Vanguard, in fact id love to have been able to get in on the free time, but SOE  screws up random stupid shit all the time, like this vet invite program that I received and how I cant participate....even thou they sent me the email...you see the situation?

    Look bud i didnt relize there was so many whining f----ing babies in the world till i started reading gaming forums Thats about all it proves to me

  • No i dont Terranah. I dont think sony deserves the rep they got myself. I think Lucas Arts is more at fault than sony when it comes to what happened in SWG
    As far as am concerned the've gave me 4 free months no other gaming company has ever gave me one thing but take my money. God knows there was plenty of times where a few free days would have been warrented
