Look and Feel

That would be funny.

It might also get them around to fixing the wing sounds on the Elder Drake mount. Whenever I use it, it only sounds one wing beat for every two the drake makes in the animation. It's off-putting, I have to play with the sound off when I use it. >_>

And we are art locked! Monday we start another one. No tentacles!

Art locked? That sounds sort of painful.

I finally realized the other day what I didn't like much about EQ2's art compared to other game's art. There is too much definition or grain (or whatever you want to call it) in the scenery and non-player objects. Maybe I'm so used to anime and other games' artwork, but without getting too cartoony, I think reducing the amount of colors in objects might help the game performance-wise as well.

You may be on to something here. We may be using to much yellow. Yellow as you know renders much slower than blue. Let me try removing all the yellow. Hang on a sec.

Hmmmm. That didn't do a whole lot render speed wise. Let me try green. Green is a known slow color.

OK no luck with green.

Try this though. I just noticed that if I lean to the left and put all my weight on my left cheek, it seems to be disrupting the gamma flow to my monitor. I may be crazy but it seems like the game is running faster.

You are without a doubt, crazy, Tom

Speaking of leaning, i haven't seen the Gangsta' Lean for a long time now, why did you guys fix that I loved seeing my ranger stuck on the Gangsta' Lean position so i could intimidate the raid bosses i fought.

I read somewhere that colorblind people have a faster game experience....go greyscale.

Please don't take my colors away.... it's... it's all I have left...

Funny. I'm running at 27 FPS with VHQ in Maldura. I can run around in Skyforge and FFXIV at max quality without the graphics tearing or streaking. And hey, just got a

G:\live\eq2\framework\core\devices\DirectX9RenderDevice.cpp (15740): 0 00cadacb error running through Maldura a few minutes ago.

I have a Geforce GTX 750 TI SC with 2GB of GDDR5 on an i7-4790K CPU 4 GHz

The scenery is gorgeous when standing still http://i.imgur.com/sVZ1JVV.png

However, when I'm moving, things get sluggish and jerky: http://i.imgur.com/Ztqu4nF.png That picture doesn't show the screen jerking around of course, but like I mentioned earlier, I don't have that issue in the other games, so I was just suggesting that lower detail might help.

Ttobey, you are too funny.

This! This is why grammar is important. Otherwise, it would have read: "You are without a doubt crazy Tom" Folks would start calling him Crazy Tom.

Commas...so underused; kinda' like yellow

Don't they already call him that?

No they all call me Sir.

Sir Crazy Tom ?
