why should A-Net waste money on time as something un important as this?

honestly i couldnt give to hoots about a freinds armor i just say "Nice" to compliment them, i dont acctually look, and in a town or outpost i dont look at other people unless there A)being funny or B)arguing senseleslly, for less of a money cost and less of a head f**k Arena Net should have this option available to be shown for all members in your TEAM panel, appossed to fixing it for guilds only, thus making the expense cheaper by making the upgrade undoubtabely smaller, as for an option for the whole game, it seems a pointless waste of resource, money and time to do such as only a handful of members are going to reep the full benefits, where as millions of others are not gonna care, so weight out measures self ego no matter how much u have, and that whole "SHOWING" off ur amror scenario is just for ur own ego boost, so arena net is deffianately better off with the Team Panel texture option!!!!

Umm...

First of all, the reason for low-res graphics in high traffic common areas is not because they fear our computers can not handle it, it's to reduce lag for their servers... well of course it reduces lag for individuals that don't have a great computer but thats what the graphic-settings are there for; so that people with slower computers can adjust accordingly.

I myself wouldn't mind high-res armor textures in towns and outposts either but I also don't really care. If it's really too much hassle for you people to party up and go into an explorable area to look at their armor then what they COULD do is make it so that Guild Halls offer such high-textured armors.

No, this is wrong. Graphics complexity (texture resolution, polygon count, effects count) in games doesn't affect servers at all.

So,

Of course, it should be high res textures on players within a certain range. I don't need to waste memory processing someone whom all I can see is 20 pixels' worth of his leg.

GW was designed so old computers could play it quite well. But it has also been designed so good computers can play it well too - maximum reflections and whatnot.

Did you notice NPCs have high resolution textures? We're more important than they are. We deserve high resolution textures too!

- Because this was working for some time ago, but they added it global back then, which wasn't such a good idea for players with older cards.

- It is not about "showing of your armor" but to get the full graphics displayed on your 8800Ultra or whatever fast new card you own.

- If it is added as a selection under graphical options, it is up to you if you want it or not.

So stop flaming people for a suggestion, just because jealousy burns your brain out, and you don't know what already is in the games code.

MithranArkanere · Sep 15, 2007, 12:51 PM // 12:51

Yeah. I can't play normally with Post-processing tuned on anywhere but in Prophecies landscapes, but I'm not asking Anet to remove it from the game.

New toggleable options do not affect others.

They alrady added better filtering, pixel shaders... how is that so 'unimportant' that they add such things?

Choraster · Sep 24, 2007, 07:31 PM // 19:31

another thing, when you zoom out on your character the texture detail changes to the same whatever other people view you as in town, which you don't have to be zoomed out too much for it to happen -_-

darkdreamr · Jan 14, 2008, 07:36 PM // 19:36

I definitely think that the person you have selected should be shown in maximum texture detail. It doesn't have to be everyone in the district.

if you can't handle it, don't use it

You can do this right now thanks to the creator of this tool:

There's instructions in that thread to turn the sound effects off, too.

You have to run the -image switch on your client first. Details here:

An in-game option would be nice, I guess.

HawkofStorms · Jan 15, 2008, 04:34 AM // 04:34

Pretty worthless +1 bump. But as Mister said (for those to lazy to click through links) there is a texmod for this now (its on the official wiki too).

Yup agreed
