I see someone is sad that their computer can't run it.

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 updating the engine to DX11 would fix several of these things? And would also make fixing the other things a whole lot easier?

Being able to run on old hardware ( backwards compatibility ) is what almost killed Apple before Steve came back.
Backwards compatibility is also the very thing that makes Windows such a giant lump, which is something that will be corrected in Windows 8 ( shame about the TOTALLY RIDICULOUS design though ).

EVE has been able to run on quite low end machines ( even an old Pentium 4 with 1.5 GHZ could run it ) for far to long, it's time CCP started benefiting from the excellent hardware available today, rather then yesteryear.

Shut up and take my money

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

If you had watched the fanfest video on the DX11 effects, you would understand a few things as to why things look the way they do.

I think they should make DX11 and Windows 8 minimum for this game. We don't need DX9 and Windows XP anymore. P

Seriously though, I think they should fix flashing station textures before adding new effects.

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..

Jessy.


it doesn't require any remodeling. Eve online ships already each have a highpoly 3-4 million poly model they use the bake the normal map. This same map can be used to create a displacement map. A main feature of DX11.

What is up with the raging? I just do not understand it. If EVE looks like such ****, find another MMO that looks as good. Sure, the ship textures aren't perfect, but the lighting effects are pretty ****ing awesome, and all the celestial bodies (stars, planets, etc) look about as spotless as I could ask for. Where's the love?


well, the new caldari and gallentne V3 ships have sick textures. I hope they finish the rest of the ships soon!

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.

Is the drunken elephant still an option? When are they planning on releasing it? And which street in Peru, I need to buy a house there.
