How about things get fixed first like the subpar anti aliasing, the CRAP textures, the **** models (e.g blackbird), the ****** hardener/module effects, the lame stars, the volleyball gas planets/moons, the heinous POS modules, the deadspace fpskillerclouds and all that graphical crap that riddle the game. Not even the constantly featured nebulae are that good. 70% of space is a black void while only a smaller percentage actually has 'some' nebula in it.

Who gives a **** about tesselation and directX when basic art areas of the game look like utter fuckshit.

Because a graphic engine is the same thing as art assets right?

No, the last thing we need is a drunken elephant dancing a jig in a fountain in the middle of a street in Peru, trumpeting out "Back in Black" by AC/DC.

It seems you have no idea what a DX11 client would ACTUALLY do, do you?

Clearly not a semblance of an idea, a DX11 client would give CCP actually a chance to build a whole new client from scratch, and thus able to tackle every little single thing you describe just there, as the DX11 client requires pretty much remodeling EVERYTHING..

Yeah I agree with the OPShocked

Who needs DX11 anyway??
Lets stick with DX10,
or 9
or 8
or 7
or....
Text only!!!!

[EDIT] for you lucky SOB's out there with a DX11 card, there is a test program here.

Believe in what they do, not what they say.

someone didn't bother to watch what was actually presented at the art panels did they?

also, don't you even think about bringing back the old lulz-nebula EVERYWHERE crap, it took long enough to get rid of that, space IS dark, you might've noticed if you ever looked up at night.

Last thing we /need/, perhaps.

But I'd pay money to see it.

Woo! CSM XI!

If I may hijack a thread where understanding is totally misplaced and mental images of elephants abounds..

When can this effectively be implemented? I hope that DX11 is a standard followed by both parties and not readjusted for the particular manufacturer. That being said, what would a ATI user see if Nvidia bespoke application or framework was implemented.
A problem I see...

I am aware of my own ignorance and have checked my emotional quotient - thanks for asking

I'm going to agree with you on most of what you say here BUT, I really like the nebulae AND I like the fact that Space is a black void. Cause it is. I don't want Space to be pretty, I want it to be dark, the way it really is.

I imagine the OP is in the same boat as me; his PC doesn't run DX11

Sucks to be us eh?

DX11 (And the other DirectXs) is indeed a standard! The whole reason they exist is so you DON'T have to do different code paths for every variant of graphics hardware in existence. No manufacturer gets any particular say in it beyond guidance.

(Sidenote: A lot of engines still tend to have some parts of the pipeline architecture-specific due to performance differences but that tends to be by choice.)

It, thankfully, falls back gracefully to DX 9. It's been stated in the thread that this won't be taken away. you just won't get the pretty pretty shinies.

Woo! CSM XI!

I remember how things were before Direct X came out. Voodoo 2 specific games, anyone?

at least more **** than is given about your post Lol



lots of people hated the nebula-everywhere skybox when they were still around, maybe you weren't one of them, but since I haven't seen any outcry for their return other than you, too bad.
