New Graphics Update is a DOWNGRADE

Dear CCP,

I am concerned about that you bring out the Update with those "new Graphics" on Tranquality Server on the 9th December with the actual graphics changes.

The reason for it is what I can explain in short examples and I think I speak for the most Players.


Beside of the Amarr Ships, which were highly rendered with the new Graphics and were almost perfectly done, the Minmatar Ships still look kinda like the same as before.

This was something I just wanted to mention.

Gallente Ships are almost perfect, but some Ships like the Kronos and stuffs still need some hard work.



To the Problems:


- Gallente Ships look quite better, but have rust on Ships.
Why the hell should there be rust on the Ships, when those are built with the finest Ore's of the Universe, of which some of them are not even available on earth?

When EVE is Real,
this can't be real.


- Caldari Ships have received a BIG DOWNGRADE in the Graphics.
I beg you to just for a good example compare the Scorpion Navy Issue on Singularity and Tranquality and tell me, which of them looks Graphics updated the new Shine?

Definetely the old Shader.



So, dear CCP:


Please remove the Rust on the Ships because it's ugly, dumb and definetely not real.

Second and primarly complain and biggest mistake what CCP could do:

Don't update the Caldari Ships like this.

Get their old Shaders back or do it right.

How it is right now is a big Downgrade.


I'm sure you will hear many complains about that.



Well,
Best Regards,

Miyaki Ayu Chan o/

Yer, this has been beaten to death on the other two or three topics already. This info summary on PBR feedback is worth a quick look.

Its mostly because CCP likes to release unfinished features... like WIS.

They are working to update the whole graphics system, but instead of putting all the pieces together and releasing one frikin ridiculous amazing update, they are releasing each part of the system on its own. Even though each segment doesn't exactly make the remaining older segments look very good, and in a lot of cases quite a bit worse. To top it off because they are doing it piecemeal they are getting flooded with bad feedback and there is little they can do about it other than say its a work in progress.

I thought that was one of the reasons behind this whole 6 week release cycle, so they didn't feel pressured to release things before they were ready... but instead they are using the opposite excuse saying it allows them to release unfinished things so they can fix them later :(

They really should just delay any additional graphics upgrades until all of it is done, so as to reduce the number of bugs and glitches they have to chase down or answer for because part of the new system isn't playing nice with part of the old system and they absolutely insist on running both at once.

What would be even better is a timetable for which they plan to actually finish what they are starting with this.

I'm of the opinion that the new render is overall "fine", but some things certainly look objectively worse.

Here's one:

I don't think anyone would consider the one of the left (the new version) as better than the other.
