I thought Higby was using SweetFX but the guild mate that told me about the thread said that it has mysteriously disappeared

Abducted during a dark night! Conspiracy!

He brought it up with the graphics team and they made adjustments to the renderer afterwards.

but will something be done about the ugly fog?

or will we get some more options like the ultra texturequality?
i was able to set textures on ultra during beta, but after release, changing them in the ini file doesn´t seem to do anything any more.

Found this on the official forums earlier today. I definitely see GPU under the bottleneck area of the FPS more than CPU now with the exception of the biggest fights.

Them removing the option of SweetFX was a total downer. It sucked going back to playing with the shitty drab colors.

FYI for everyone, I PM'ed Twist (the SOE dev who posted about bannable mod's) about SweetFX specifically and he replied to me with this:

We would warn before any bans were associated with this. The problem with SweetFX is that it could be modified in various ways to achieve an advantage. As it is distributed now, it's relatively harmless.

We know some people use it, we would give warning before black listing it.

I can post a screenshot of this if you would like.

So it sounds like at the moment SweetFX is okay to use and they would give a warning before banning people for using it.

UPDATE with Screenshot:

Interesting.
