    Some areas, zones, dungeons, have different lighting. For instance, Pora Elinu has bright, I would even say unique lighting compared to other places. I sometimes turn off dynamic lighting, issue with walk animation as backgrounds bleed thru character model. Some of these screenshots are about year or two old. Notice the hat, different shades of purple.

    Here is what I'm talking about. I did try the tweak someone earlier in the thread suggested, and it did improve one the general ugliness of the aliasing. Here is a screenshot showing the inside of a tunnel while standing outside; notice the very flat, unrealistic lighting to the scene, especially those green things growing out of the trees and those fallen jars.

    Here is another shot showing very ugly stone textures:

    The lighting in this seem just isn't there and it makes everything look flat, un-immersive and often times just ugly.

    Here a scene from legion:

    Notice how the lighting effects make a huge impact on the sense of immersion and quality of the scene.

    I don't know what you are talking about. tera is a beautiful game, and im not running the best laptop either. its one of the main reasons I fell in love with it and continue to play it. I don't know about black desert cause my laptop isn't good enough to run it I read online

    To be honest, Stepstone Isle is a very bland place. You should try places like these two near Tria.

    The texture work in this game just amazes me sometimes.

    Show me a picture of Legion with you inside a tiny cave with intentionally poor lighting for ambiance. I mean the pic you are showing of Tera is suppose to be very dark and hopeless (the children without sight are massacred and the children with sight are kidnapped), and the lighting reflects that. That's actually good thematic design.

    game aged well and its built on unreal 3 right?

    you cant be seriously comparing tera to a game built on newer engines........

    moreover, most PC gamers don't upgrade so Tera graphics are probably within range with what they used to seeing anyway in most of the games they play.

    whats ur pc spec?
  • GUTBGUTB ✭
    These screenshots were 1080 but I cropped them.

    I have a a fairly high-end PC. i7-5820k, GTX 980 and 32GB of ram.

    WoW is 12 years old so age isn't really that much of an excuse...yes I know the WoW engine has been upgraded several times but as you can see from the screenshot, textures are still very low-res.

    You never left nooby island, lighting there is bad.
    Just keep playing till around level 50-65 and then make your jugement.

    I think you either play on preset 1 or you ticked the box "Low performance dimming". Also have you maxed out Lightning enrichment ?

    Or did you apply all the tweaks in Bernkastel's Optimization Guide? If so please delete your S1Engine file. With your gig, you only need to remove party buff.
