In none heavily crowded area's I'm 70+, in sorta heavily populated area's or towns I'm 50-60+. My SLI'd cards run pretty high, so it's not like XIV where the game runs so poorly that SLI feels worthless.

Oh wait, its Casualplayer. you wont like this game at all, its horrible.. dont even bother playing

Cool I won't play then thanks for the info. What server did you say you rolled on again?

**Lucavi** · 2011-03-01 14:02

No, seriously, don't play this. Stick with XIV.

I don't have many, only ones that have been taken via the twitter achievement system, so involuntary to a degree.

Spoiler'd for huge. The last one makes an excellent desktop background. I took the screenshot in Stonefield, if you're wondering.

Fantastic!

Rift really is a gorgeous game. I love the way each rift looks; they're all unique and have their own story behind them, even just from the looks.

**arus2001** · 2011-03-01 21:01

Yeah, I saw my first Air rift the other day and was like, "Fucking awesome..." but my dumb ass forgot to screenshot since there was a 10m warning for a patch/shutdown. Still need to tackle the quest related to it, too. :/

**Cjskater** · 2011-03-01 21:12

I have one ;x

I really just love watching them open, air rifts in particular have the portal open first then you see these giant rocks start flying out of it into its swirling motion.

The game actually is really pretty even though it was getting a lot of criticism for having bad graphics before... I'm actually really impressed by the graphics now, once you get past the starting areas you can really see the true beauty of the world. Everything in the world is so polished, you can go to the strangest places, places that you think you weren't intended to actually be, and you'll still always find that the terrain there wasn't neglected.

Someone wasn't around when Everquest was the stuff.

Also, I guess I have been playing too much zoomed far away. Your screenshots look awesome. Do you always play zoomed in close? Looks like a different game!

I had no beefs with the environments or even mobs, but I still say some of the character designs/equipment are meh. It's improved a little as I've leveled, but I'm still afraid of chancing upon the Rift equivalent of an O-Hat.

**Lucavi** · 2011-03-02 18:29

Fortunately, equipment is the easiest thing to beef up, and now that TRION is rolling in a shit-ton of money, they can jack up the gear design budget.

Me? No I play at this distance: http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...-16-13-463.jpg (unless that's considered zoomed in close)

I just first person for good angles or to remove myself from the shot.

**Foxer** · 2011-03-03 11:14

This game looks -awesome-. Too bad it's not for me but dang does this game look good.

Edit: Also something I noticed with Air Rifts (at least), the effects they have on the environment change from zone to zone (or climate to climate). In the Shimmersands Air Rifts I don't remember seeing any lightning/static, they also seem much more "warm" I guess. In Iron Pine Peak they change the flow of the falling snow around it, so it swirls with the rift. They also seem a lot brighter, have a lot more lightning/static, and are generally just more violent. Maybe I'm looking into it too much, sure seemed that way though.

**Lucavi** · 2011-03-03 17:16

Water rifts are the most beautiful and cool thing I've seen from a video game in a long, long time. Seeing that shimmering "glaze" of flowing water over natural grassy or rocky surfaces is just... whoa. You just have to see it on maxed specs. It makes fire rifts look like absolute shit.

**ascalon** · 2011-03-03 18:52

I have to wonder why my screens don't look as pretty as cj's screens... I'm playing with maxed out everything, but your shots seem to have much more vibrancy to them.
