Its a little sad (?) that the tower doesnt "burn" as bright anymore… Now it looks like not much is happening… Refering to 0:50 . On the other hand, this might've been on purpose…?
They did say that the model upgrades for characters will happen gradually in some cases,pixel exarch is probably one of them thatll get his upgrade within the patches
0:38 i have a prob with. The crystal tower was pretty in old patch where the new one looks like a slab of ice.
This whole cutscene leaves the new expansion on the street
i think we should bring this to attention to the devs, tower looks aight but it needs some shine/glow imo cause the crystal tower itself should be the eye catching but now it just blends into the sky color,. The convocation crystals on the floor looking like we puked some light onto it too (the crystal itsself looks good but the lighting there seems bad i think)
yeah seems like they're going have to do relight all the old scenes.
I'm a little disappointed that the Exarch's hand and jaw still looks more stone than crystal, but there is only so much can be done.
New sound effects as well.
They managed to make it worse, the exarch has gained better eyes but the crystal tower and his body got worse.
Ok tower not glowing isnt going to work for me. Really hope they fix that
The lighting is so much worse!!
There's been a rampant complaints or issues being brought forth where Yoshi P already explained or addressed. He already stated that graphical updates are an ongoing project which will continue thru 7.x series. The prominent changes done at the early stages are NPC that used character creation assets and various texture reworks for older releases. Custom characters like Ryne, Crystal Exarch, Vaultry, and etc will be done later.
The graphic update has been mediocre so far, and how much of their time and energy wasted on this "upgrade"? They really fucked up big time this expansion. Shocked it ain't the worst receiving.
yeah about what i expected. unforunately a graphics update would have this effect on alot of scenes with special effects due to having to remake them all. they said they would be slowly updating older stuff as time goes on so we will just have to see ig
My guess has to be that Crystal Echarch is considered a special model. If you remember they said that special model characters will take time to change, we see this with some outfits as well, and we will see some old models around for the moment.
taking away the beating after glow afect has KILLED the magic of this part for me, never forget
Some updates got carried over to old zones but not all. They said theyll be doing it similar to redoing the older dungeons on a per patch basis
There doesn't seem to be too big of an upgrade here, if anything some of the older footage looks better in this example
Crystal is crystalling but lacks the lighting to make it beautiful
The more subtle effects being lost, like the shadow effect during the big attack on Elidibus, is slightly more tragic than the lost glow, cuz I’m more worried that the small artistic touches will be forgotten.
mind you, this is a big thing a lot of people seemed to miss, The visual update was not to every single aspect of the game, characters look better yes, however they said they would be releasing DT in full graphics and as time goes on we will see them roll out the graphics BACKWARDS, meaning endwalker zones get the full upgrade including characters, then shadowbringers, so on and so forth.
The specifically said that some NPCs were going to get updated with patches and to please bare with this. These videos without context only serve to spread misinformation like a lot of the comments are.
Hmm the crystall lost all its aether, looks bad now xD
I know we are here to see the differences and not to cry.
I'm sad for the lack of the "motion" blur during the scene when the Ascian is being destroyed.
To be fair they did warn us that some characters are still WIP
I am going to hold my judgement until the Devs announce the updates are finished, then I will judge, and I am Ok with this. These things take time, despite how some thing people think. My new cat girl stares back into my soul, and I am satisficed with that for now.
Crystal Exarch have more detailed hair now, but dem clothes still have pixels. 😵💫
Also, the crystal tower now looks more like an igloo because the texture gave me the feel that it looks more like ice than actual crystal. It needs more luster and reflected colors.
Hopefully the graphic updates are still going. 💖
Oh no, oh boy. The memory crystals look even MORE like candy. 🤤
