Really bad graphics?

in TERA PC - General Discussion
I realize the game is pretty old now -- but it looks terrible. The main issue seems to the total lack of lighting maps which makes the world look very fake and not immersive. Quite frankly Legion looks better overall.

    This game can not handle even basic lighting effects from map static light - on some maps it deforming characters faces. This game is old, on old engine (unreal engine 3 )without new graphics effects and without hope to update because we have unreal engine 4 from long time. If looks at rest of the game - class balance, no content etc. Better if BHS will start on Tera 2 than try to fix this.

    preset 6 or uninstall, I don't care if your FPS is also 6!

    I think he is talking about complex dynamic lighting and reflection affects from nearby surfaces etc.

    No just basic light maps. I know the game is old but damn without even basic lighting it makes it look really bad.

    There is a problem with UE3 engine, the problem of anti-aliasing and lightening effects with newer versions of VGA. You got put it at 1 in game and force or override anti-aliasing and lightening from VGA control panel.

    We gotta see some optimization and customization next year. UE3 indeed is outdated, but Tera has a high visuals and I love the texture.

    You probably went to the Civil Unrest area. That place auto adjust your graphic settings when you enter a crowded area to avoid lag. My TERA is maxed out, but when i enter the Unrest area, the settings plummet to preset 3.

    that's an option that you can toggle off, it's at the bottom of the 'game' tab

    Upload a screenshot so we can see if you [filtered] up some settings.

    I don't think Tera's graphics can be called "really bad" by any standards. It doesn't look realistic like ps4 games but it's beautiful by its own style.

    Keep it mind it's been almost 10 years since BHS started to develop Tera. It looked absolutely stunning in 2011-2012. It is still very good by mmorpg standards. Except Black Desert but that game is just released this year.

    How can you say tera has bad graphics? Unless you're running on a potato which i highly doubt that, when i have everything max AND i even messed around with my S1 Engine and it looks so beautiful wherever i go, perfect lighting and shadows, sometimes if your graphics card knows it cant handle certain things the software will limit how your game looks, so if you're using a NVIDIA card check that out, but tera actually has great graphics, so dont bash the game when you're at fault.

    Except that is not true

    I know for a fact that Tera has normal maps and specular maps on clothing and armor models, and it probably has them on other models as well.

    This is the best it's going to look.

    If you can't stand it, remove it o.o

    Wow, how some years can change human perspective. I still remember when TERA was seen as a beautiful game.
