So yeah, I totally forgot about the golden weapon skins they gave out for those who signed up in may... some of them are preeeeeeetty.

Slightly disappointed with the staff/wand/disc (conflicted on the lance), but damn do the rest look good.

The slayer one is definately my favorite (my only complaint would be that the sheathing animation could be a little more fluid), with the bow coming in a close second...

<3 Slayer one.

Hard to really notice in the screenshots but unsheathed the sword extends a bit, and retracts when sheathed.

I'm not sure what it is about this game.... there's just something about it that's stopping me from putting it down.

Still absolutely in love with the combat system, it's so smooth and reminds me of the Monster Hunter series of games (possibly the best psp game there is).

I am annoyed at one thing though, it's really loosened my grip on FFXI. I /think/ I've gone 30something days without logging in, and I think that's possibly the longest I've ever gone... so yeah.


It's picture time! shall we begin?~

There is such a level of depth, detail and beauty to every area I've been to; there've been countless times where I've just stopped to look around and take pictures...

So I've started noticing this thing about lancers, and it's pretty much lancers in general... It seems like every other instance I seem to join that if there's a berserker there then they start to wuss out and 'demand' that they be kicked. Suffice to say it's happening enough that it's annoying, and almost enough to put me off leveling berseker...

For those that don't play, lancer is one of the 2 'tank' jobs. Lancer is the traditional turtle tank, whislt warrior is more of an evasive tank although it pales in comparison; which often leads to most instances being tanked by lancers. It leaves you in the awkward position of whether to kick the berserker (who has done nothing wrong), or loose your tank. This situation is made more annoying by how long it takes to get assigned a new tank, whilst at the same time leaving you in the stupid position of idling waiting for one. If you decide to drop out from the party, the game penalizes you for quitting on your 'teammates').

Maybe I just keep getting bad luck with my pickups ?

I'd say yes, bad luck. But thats just from my personal experience as a berserker. I've never had any problems with PUGs.... Wel at least no problems that someone wants me out of the group

I've been getting ~21 FPS with all settings maxxed, and graphics card 3D settings like such:
Code
Anisotropic filtering						16X
Antialiasing - Gamma correction				On
Antialiasing - Mode							Enhance the application setting
Antialiasing - Setting						32x
Antialiasing - Transparency					8x (Supersample)
CUDA - GPUs									Use global setting (All)
Extension Limit								Use glocal setting (Off)
Maximum pre-rendered frames					5
Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration		Single display performance mode
Texture filtering - Anisotropic samp.		Off
Texture filtering - Negative LOD Bias		Clamp
Texture filtering - Quality					High quality
Texture filtering - Trilinear optimization	Off
Threaded optimization						On
Triple buffering							On
Texture filter - Anisotropic filter optimi.	Off
Vertical Sync								Force on


Any idea what CUDA - GPUs does and it's effect on performance/graphics? Anything stupid that I've turned on that should be off, or off that should be on?

Assume I'm aiming for peak visual glory without worrying about performance (I can always step down settings until I find an acceptable FPS).

32x AA is ridiculous. 8x~16x max. Also make sure that your AA compatibility is set to 0x00020041 and if you're using Ambient Occlusion, set compatibility to 0x00000026.

Optimal settings that I've found for a high end GPU are:

Ambient Occlusion Compatibility: 0x00000026
Antialiasing Compatibility: 0x00020041

AA Behavior Flag: None
AA Mode: Override application settings
AA Setting: 16x CSAA (4 color + 12 cv)
Transparency AA: Multisampling disabled, 8x Supersampling (don't use sparse grid, it's ***)

Anisotropic Filtering Mode: User-defined
Anisotropic Filtering Setting: 16x
Anisotropic Filter Optimization: On
Anisotropic Sample Optimization: Off
Negative LOD Bias: Clamp
Texture Quality: High Quality

Ambient Occlusion: Disabled*

Maximum Pre-rendered frames: 1
Threaded Optimization: On
Triple Buffering: Off
Frame rate limiter: 58**
Vsync: Adaptive



*Reason being: Screen space ambient occlusion is pretty ***. I dislike the shimmering on foliage and other environmental edges. If you turn it on, keep it set to Performance as the difference between Quality and Performance is minute, basically unnoticeable aside from a 20~30FPS drop.
**May only be necessary with kepler GPUs (670, 680, 690). Adaptive vSync can cause stuttering at capped FPS as well as some input lag, however when frame rate is limited to below your refresh rate (58 or 118) these problems are alleviated. Limited framerate + adaptive vsync > regular vsync + triple buffering.

Also be sure to turn the Light Enrichment setting down to 1 in game to be sure there are no AA conflicts.

Thanks for the tips, I toggled over to some of those settings.

I guess I'll parse my system statistics next time I play, see if I notice a boost in performance without any noteworthy drop in graphics.

I was trying the trial and I noticed something about the UI that bugged me (actually it's all the menus and ***) my text is TINY... like I can't even read it tiny.... I did that UI scale thing but by the time I can read it without it being fuzzy as hell the UI is wayyyyy to big.

You can adjust text size independent of UI size by going into chat tab options

I had the same trouble, with quest text and dialogues being too small.

I scaled all UI's up to 110, and then scaled a handful of combat elements down to 60-80 (pretty much everything bar quest tracker :D).

If you're referring to chatlog text, then what proth said was correct. Right click on it, tab options, text scale.

Maybe it's bad in the long run as everyone says, but while I was playing the beta until lv 30 or so I was having a lot of fun in this game.

Do you mean the discovery edition? Isn't there a level restriction set on that? You can play for free by buying chronoscrolls, but all your gold is probably going towards failed enchants anyways.

the beta was fun til they released the whole game it just got boring tedious and was nothing really to do at all end game came like 4 months after release and the PvP system was all gear based and they screamed thru all their promotions that the game was based on skill
