View Full Version : Make sure there's a Viamontian mask maker -- and make the other races 32bit.

It just looks... bad, to the newbies, if one race is 32bit and the others aren't. Like an "unfinished product" kinda thing.

You can get away with upgrading the graphics on some weapons but not others, but on something as basic as a player, keeping other races at 16bit is a *very* bad idea.


Oh, and the Viamontians should have their own versions of the four Virindi masks -- Virindi Mask, Inquisitor Mask, Paradox Mask, Consul mask.

Perhaps their own master robes, too, since there's the Sho / Gharu'n / Aluvian master robes (though it's been so long since those robes have been updated that this would be less noticable).

The goal should be to make the Viamontans feel as much an 'established' part of the game as the other three races. The masks will be the most visible issue in that regard.

other races are going to be 32 bit it says right in the reading that the Viamontian will be the first though but other will come soon. I dont think any of the people complaining read any of the important stuff. They just rip out the bad and expand on it to make it sound like its the ned of the world.

6000 textures being updated.

You can bet that pretty much everything will get a bit of a facelift.

I'm not sure where this "only the Viamontians are getting a graphics update" rumor started. It's just not true.

Thanks for squashing that rumor, Ibn.

Ibn, There was a report someone posted on Warcry's CoD the wording of it said the Viamonts would get 32bit graphics ( other races 'may' get them later )

I believe the reporter for CoD just mistyped it, and its wording confused a few folk ( I know it did me )
I assume this is where the rumor started. :)

Bingo -- I believe i saw this in a CoD frontpage report. Thanks for clearing that up, Ibn. :)

Will we get to see the stuff from ACPL up on the official turbine webpage? I want to see that teaser video, but it's already patch day tomorrow =X hehe.
