After Beta - Will the game graphics improve?

[DLG]

i use Nvidia control panel to set overriding graphics and it looks alot better

I think the game looks good as-is. If you put the graphics to high instead of custom it looks great. I've seen games with horrible textures and draw distances. In Defiance, the textures and draw distances are pretty good.

Look at WoW for the answer to this question. You can tell that was one of the first major MMO's around as its really showing its age in terms of graphics. Only the GUI has ever been updated. With mods you could do that anyway but not in terms of graphics.

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.

Use SweetFX and you are done!

the graphics seem fine to me, i'm more concerned with the game play (which is still good, but has a few bugs) maybe they could implement another optional graphics setting such as 'ultra' which would not force other low end rig players out of the game, but still allow high end rig players to enjoy it more, but that could kinda anger the console players. Either way, i dont see it as too important.

In answer to your question, NO; nor will you see it elsewhere where release is mere days or weeks away. If you ever get into an alpha test, sure you will see graphics evolve as it moves to beta, but never from a pay2 play title about to release. Free 2 play is something else entirely, the recent trend appears to be, get it out the door as early as possible, and use the "beta" tag as a blanket excuse for everything that's broken or utter ****e, then pray you have time to fix it before revenue dries up.

I *love* when someone's personal issues pop out in their comments like a nasty little zit

Since sweetFX is an injector it might be detected as a hack and get your account banned.

Very strong possibility of this happening..

Hey!

Im just wondering (after googling a little bit) will the graphhics improve after the beta? As for now the graphics could improve a lot. Would really love to see Defiance on CryEnginge (Not that its going to happend, but would be epic!)

Oh great, that's what we're missing on these forums. People who want every game to be on the Cryengine or Frostbite engine.

Nobody seems to know that you can just use SweetFX and your game will already look better and when launched people will also find ways to up the graphics by modding the .ini files.

Only the gui updated? lol. The graphics changed big time from vanilla to burning crusade, to wrath of the lich king to cataclysm and mists of pandaria. While they're obviously lagging behind a bit now, they've made big changes on it.
