Thread: Engine!?

  1. #1

    Question Engine!?

    Is this update really the Engine coming out? like finished? Is this real life?

    Do you think the game will get better? Get more players again?

  2. #2
    It is.

    It's not that much of a HUGE improvement (no new 3d models, etc), but it looks nicer.

    The biggest reason for this engine actually getting new people in/getting old people back is the OMG NEW ENGINE hype. 2nd biggest is the fact AO will now run on the majority of PC's sold (switchable graphics laptop) without issues. I know of quite a few people who quit / took extended leaves because of this incompatibility so.. maybe they'll finally come back.

    I wouldn't go so far as to call it 'finished' Functional, yes, but there's still much improvement to be made in terms of glitches, stability and so on.

    All these years and still no 3d models? Damn..

    I hope to see more players atleast.

    @Tankers: I know, man. It's pretty annoying not to have the new models.. but baby steps are better than no steps at all at this point. Michi's been doing great things for the game.
    I don't know when you last played but the game has been having quite a lot of people compared to what it used to a while back.. mostly due to the quality of life changes introduced.

    Read up on 18.6 / 18.7 patch notes if you haven't yet. There's quite some gems in there.

    Yeah, I paid again like a week ago. Ai armor back to its original price, loved that one.. As for the Nano changes I have to learn my toon all over again

    Overall, loved the last two patches!

    Sigh. New heads... "Too Asian" tedium aside, if we ever got a final official word on those, I missed it. I wanted to see them in game witgh the new engine but I suppose they have vanished into the ether.

    I'd wager either the contract with the asian-based studio fell through during the whole restructuring thing or something weirder happened. I may be mistaken but I'm not really high on hope for those to ever make it in-game.
    I *REALLY* hope I'm wrong though.. and that new models for both body and faces are somehow incoming, along with proper high res textures for them.

    Would be cool to have official words on this but it may not be possible to disclose.

    there are non-asian new head models rendered and images can be easly find on google. They look awesome - I wonder what happened to them?

    If you look closely on new engine, you will see that LE Armor/AI Armor looks 10x better compared to PRE-SL stuff. Textures overall are in higher QL for those, and old RK armor looks just poor, hehe.

    Oh yes, the new engine allows the more recent (i.e. post-SL) textures to really show off the graphical detail the artists put in. Some of the older textures got a do-over as well.

    A good one to watch is the Nail armour. As far as I know that one has not had a new texture done for it so what you see is what was there from release. It looked much better on the new engine on Beta than on the same character on live, so I was using that as a benchmark to test the overal improvement to the game's looks.

    Hm. So does that mean an FC 'Soon' is roughly equivalent to 7 standard years, given the original announcement was some time during 2007? I suspect it's got a bit of a heisenberg nature and attempting to pin it down too much further will either fail, or cause the universe to become unstable.

    So.. anyone tried new engine with Intel integrated gfx yet?

  17. #17
    I get flashing of textures and my chat windows non-stop, and importing prefs only changes my F10 settings...so I'll let you guys debug it and I'll just keep using the old engine. Thanks!
    Bitcoin and the ACA are Ponzi schemes. MMMmm, sounds like pizza.

    the reason they didn't advertise the new engine is because it's mostly a sneak peak of what's to come, etc. i'm sure that once it's 100% up and working they will spare no expenses into making the word go out and grabbing more players, old and new

    Is this new engine worth checking out for real?

    I'd advise trying it out and taking it in with a grain of salt. Keep in mind new models/textures would make this engine be a lot more impressive than it currently is.
