Great! Now I can get the low down on all the crap in this game.

Great thread going on about performance. I'm glad I just built a new PC. People are reccomending 2Gb RAM.

But I would like to emphasize what Ulrick stated. No matter what your system is ...you cannot adjust the settings to max ...not even close. This game is a "heavy-hitter." I mean, picture this, everyone knows how Doom3 was a "beast." Well, Doom3 only every required your computer to render a room at a time with high detail.....now picture this...same type of high quality characters, graphics etc...but on an even larger scale. Your computer must render whole cities and open lands with the same type of detail as Doom3. Not just a room at a time, but an entire building or citiy or dungeon. Just amazing. I have an FX53, 2 gigs of DDR and 6800 Ultra and can't even come close to playing it at full settings. Not possible today. So that should tell you something. Even when I overclock this beast to its max, I still can't play 1600x1200 with highest settings.

If you really want to see the game in all its wonder, you really need a great video card, lots of RAM and a decent cpu.

You can play the game on the lower settings and it still looks very good, don't get me wrong, ....SOE really did a good job with the code, but I am just saying there is so much to it, ...its like Doom3 but on a larger scale requiring even more computer power to load the images......that is...if you want to play it over 800x600 with higher detail.

I just need a DVD drive so I don't have to install 10 fucking CDs or whatever when I buy it.

Indeed. Can you imagine how kick-ass this game will fucking look with two 6800ultras SLI?

Here's some screens. The conversion to .jpg gimped them a little, but still cool.

Ok, STFU Everay. You are trying to apply stupid shit about EQ1 to a totally different game. You obviously have never played EQ1, because if you did you'ld know that snakes don't aggro anything. They never fucking attack. You never have to kill a snake in that game. Ever.

You either;

Have played eq1, but were too fucking stupid to make it to level 3
Have played eq1, but were too fucking stupid to target anything but a fucking snake.
Havn't played eq1, and are just being an assfuck.

Go shit on someone elses thread dumbass. Go to the WoW boards and post "God I hate EQ2, all you do is kill fucking grass snakes" They'll call you a fucking tard too.

EQ2 is a totally different game, with completely different mechanics than EQ1. The only thing they have in common is the lore. Go be an ignorant fuck somewhere else.

If you hate EQ or SoE, email them your bullshit, and leave my thread alone, you fucking troll.

I could give a shit about Halo2, but you don't see me over in that thread being a cunt.

That really makes me want to buy this game. I cant fucking afford thousands of dollars in upgrades.

Velkator · 2004-10-16, 10:27 AM

SOE has said SEVERAL times that putting all settings on top at this moment won't be feasible. This is for the FUTURE of the game, they added so you can up the graphic when the end computer's get better and better. Thus preserving the game's graphic much longer.

Brilliant!

OfaLoaf · 2004-10-16, 10:32 AM

Damn good graphics... do they really need that many buttons though? Shit.
