After Beta - Will the game graphics improve?

yes - improvements are needed specially at the areas like AA/aniso, vsync, particle effect level, texture quality, model quality, HDR and so on.
So people can adjust it for peak performance at acceptable losses on certain areas that they can handle more then others. Perhaps no shadows vs full hd textures etc.

All released early to generate revenue, then making sweeping changes to game play and shifting balance every which way from Sunday after they start to accept customers money.

Never heard of any of those aside Mech Warrior Online. But I digress, prehaps you could point out to everyone where the micro transactions are in Defiance?

So you can buy some vehicles, clothing, boosts and other things available on vendors. Am I missing the pay to win tab somewhere? Besides, they GAVE you bits to spend there... Hardly the way to go about making money from micro transactions... eh?

I think the graphics are fine though texture quality could improve and that is something they could always patch in later.

lets look at guildwars 2.

it looks very pretty and nice.

once you get to world vs world and over 100 players show up every single machine (inc high end) start to have FPS eaten up (eve WoW has this issue in open world bosses when 100+ ppl show up and use every spell effect ever invented)

medium looking graphics at max detail + 100 + players = very smooth game play for a huge selection of machines from medium machines (who does not have a medium machine in 2013 and "claim" to be a gamer eh) to high end beasts.

also ask your self this

when in the middle of a fire fight with lots of things shooting at you do u stop and go OOO look at this lovely textured bullet that just wizzed past my ehad at a gazzilion miles an hour and wow that gun from all the way over there has such nice camo textures on it, and look at that guys face thats coverd by a mask that looks so shiny when i angle my camera just right for sun light to reflect off it.

or do u just go AMAGAD MUST FIND COVER AND SHOOT THAT THING SHOOTING ME AAAAA. must kill that enemy player then teabag them and make then rage.

im guessing its number 2.

Here Here. Game looks great maxed out on "High" and no performance issues yet, even during the Massive Arkfalls.

the ygave bits for BETA - not the release. it wil lall be wiped.

And no - you cant get the micro costumes and vehicles from npc.

The only somewhat bogus one is the lockbox - which essentially allows you to buy them in bulk without spending a moment farmign the keycodes and get the rarest orange weapons fast.

1 thing i have found is DONT use custom as it looks crap for some reason set to high looks alot better thoguh far from perfect
