The DM is actually set at higher resolution. 1280x1024
I have ToD set lower because the chat text becomes more difficult to read, due to the font.


By the way: These are at the Baishi drop.

not particularly impressive

How did you level that fast Panz?

Is there a trick?

Hehe, I couldn't tell much by the pictures either Dave, but I have liked playing the preview so far. Some lag in Sanamar and (woo hoo!) portal storms! You know how long it's been since I've been portal stormed out of some place? Hint: far too long lol.

The game play so far has been very smooth for me once I got out of Sanamar. I don't know if it's been because I've been away from crowds, because I don't have graphics on high (don't have a clue what my graphics are set to), because there is no decal, or what, but my character runs smooth, fights smooth, and, yes, dies, with no lag too.

I like the new critters. They are fast and they hit HARD. It's still too early to tell, but so far, I think I'll like the expansion pack pretty well.

Oh I def. think the expansion will be good overall. Personally, I would've been just fine if there was no graphics overhaul, just content, in the XPack. Obviously we're getting both but I hope that the end result isn't "too much flash and no cash".

The graphixs are a bit better - but I dislike the new client deeply......because I cannot change the font anymore.

At least the /font command isnt available anymore like in the ACDM client - is there another way ?

I hate the Courier font with all my heart - I WANT MY ARIAL FONT BACK.....

It's not in the preview. Supposedly, that is in the works. The font is why I don't use a higher resolution. It looks even worse.

Over 2 months delay because "problems with the client", and now they even cannot KEEP the old @font command ? How humiliating....

As if that were not enough...

Athlon 3200+, NVidia GeForce 6800 GT, 2GB RAM :

- WoW runs smoothly at highest quality settings (reduced landscape distance).

- GuildWars runs very smoothly at highest quality settings with really astonishing graphics.

- AC:ToD is reduced to a slideshow when I turn around in a town or any other place with more than a few textures. Quality settings not on highest.

Considering that the polygon count of the engine is the same as in the old client that is really a shame.
