Leave it to the vault to conjure up 2 goddman morons for the price of one.

Liljiggy or whatever the fuck, go gobble some cock like you obviously love to. It's probably all you are good for, If even.
Not even going to address the retardedness shining mighty throughout your post. It speaks for itself really.

Flav, I doubt the devs for lotr are any more competent being it's the exact same bunch of idiots.

You actually need talented talent to make something half decent. The intelligence of most Turdbine employees is obviously only rivaled by the retards of the vault - possibly that of the Frontier dev team. But even they are less moronic, which is saying a lot actually.

Re the optimization.
That's not really an artist's job. Since they don't really have developers, it seems kind of normal that no one there knows what the fuck to do to get a decent amount of FPS out of the engine.
I mean, they are wasting time rolling nerfs to dodge back and forth when they could actually do the optimization pass, what the fuck does anyone expect?

i am going to take a different approach than the other posters. instead of simply agreeing with your point that game looks like ass, i want to verify your state of ass. do you happen to have any recent screenshots of gameplay BEFORE upgrading, such that you might be able to take a 2nd similar screenshot under current conditions giving you a chance to compare your previous experience with your current one? it is possible theres some setting or otherwise causing things to look different than u recall. it plausible there is something else causing this new feeling than just having a new laptop. maybe u are noticing a difference that you are unable to specifically identify and u are assuming u are noticing its badness when it in fact actually looks worse. or it could be a problem specific to IoD, that existed in both laptop specs, but not other content. it could even be some setting specific to the new laptop or an unfamiliar software on it, such as some kind of power saving green energy meme configured to nerf ur GPU power consumption for the sake of preserving laptop battery.

this all assumes u didnt just roll over today and realize u were sick of 2006, which could very well be the case all the same

if u can name these you might enjoy a game called 'terranigma' check it out if u find your self wanting a new SNES game some day

also posting this in the defense of some retards, this game is from 2011

this is the same game in 2022


check video in fullscreen to really get your colon swollen is only 5 mins

Nha.
Should be fairly easy for the development build to know if it is thread locked by CPU or GPU. Even on a 20 year old engine.

Also, they probably test things with a direct link to the server that sports 0 lag or similar issues.

In other words, a diper wearing 2 year old could test the game and determine that 60fps output at 1080p on a 3090ti means someone fucked the dog, the horse, the cat, the mouse... and the rest of the entire farm - instead of doing their job right.

The most common reason for low FPS is too much transparency overlaps increasing pixel complexity. In other words, badly made grass / trees.

And by badly made, on a 10 year old engine, this means simply using speedtree to pop out a couple of models.
The newest tools do not give a shit about old engines, so you'd have to know what you are doing even as an artist to take the output of a modern program and make it work in an old environment.

The second biggest performance killer is shit being pre-loaded for no reason at all at a greater than needed LOD (level of definition).
This can be due to bad occlusion culling, but knowing the retards at SSG, they likely just didn't create the LODs right, or forgot to pay the sympligon or whatever other license thing that does it for them.
Or they simply chose not to give a shit *far more likely*.

I have been telling you guys.
The only way ddo ever gets fixed is if either WotC pulls the license and the game dies out,

Or if it gets sold to a single individual who actually cares about publishing *decent* stuff and not treating paying customer like shit (which involves hanging fatsovan with his own intestines).

I lean towards hoping wotc crashes their money cow by pulling the licensing.
The selling thing has happened before, and it's always the same assholes who hold the license/change company names in a shell game that should honestly be investigated by the securities commission at this point...

Honestly surprised you can manage to breath in air. But whatever. Educating random fags isn't worth the effort.

That's most likely Prostate Volva.  He's too stupid to remember his own password and too dense to recover it.  Even the most basic vault knuckledragger like noamineo or Cripey manages to log in with the same account day after day, year after year.

Prostate Volva there is a special kind of stupid.

Not it, but look who's talking about stupid? Bananafag, one of the dumbest shit posters of the vault.
What is it about graphics - of which none of you know the first thing about - that brings all the idiots to the yard?
Or is it something the government is putting in your water that's making you all some special kind of stupid?
Then again I guess you can blame ddo itself. Afterall at this point in time only motherfucking jobless retards are playing it....

Tetraology*
The game is mostly just an rpg like many before and after. It's just heavier on story, and was never released in the US.

I don't really see how or why it's even remotely relevant to how much DDO's graphics suck, have almost always sucked, and will never be any good..
Although, it is a decent example of a game that manages to look decent despite being sub 256MB of memory overall. Apples and oranges though, since the 3d in it is rather limited.

i agree with your post

The main reason for this is because, compared to the mid 90s, pixel art is a thousand times easier to do today than it used to be. Meaning one programmer can, with relatively little effort, create all of his own art for a game. Nostalgia for the style is certainly part of it, but the bigger reason we see so many pixel art games is because the art is just so fucking easy to do.

Actually I have a degree in game design and focused on environmental art in college. I've logged people-years in 3Dstudio MAX, made thousands of completed art assets for games. But I do polygonal modeling, not pixel art, so I guess you're only half-retarded today?

For the record, this was an AWFUL attempt at a comeback after you got schooled.

Too far.  If noamineo is a really fucking annoying fly buzzing in your face that's especially frustrating because you think it might have landed on the giant pile of crap in the corner, Marshall Lannes is the disgusting pile of crap.
