Moon Through the Green Mist
The server seems to be getting nice and stable now so I was once again out exploring west of Lake Tahoe trying to find out how far I could go. I entered the green mist but did not die. I kept on trying to go straight but I kept getting turned around. Either it was me or some mysterious game magic was at work. I will need to investigate this more once I explore the northern part of the land.
I thought this was a rather cool screen shot of my character in the mist. The most intense green represents a line of trees, Also notice the small aura around the top half of my character (I always knew I was magical! :woohoo:)

Re:Moon Through the Green Mist
I want to be in beta just to explore, looks like a massive area to run around in. One question though, hows the FPS with such a huge draw distance?
Re:Moon Through the Green Mist
Thanks for the pics. How long did it take you to walk/run to the green mist from the lake going west?

I have not measured the frame rate since I have never noticed any problems with it.

I didn't time myself but I would guess around 20 minutes. Climbing hills slows you down about 25% (while roads speed you up about 25%).
Re:Moon Through the Green Mist
Thanks, Oakstead. I hope I will be in with you in the coming days. Keep the cool pics coming!

Good enough, don't particularly care about exact numbers, I just wanted to know if it was a problem when draw distance came into play. thanks.
Re:Moon Through the Green Mist
I'll chew up draw distance and spit it out! Phewy!

I pull a pretty consistent high framerate with a GTX9800, default features and a couple extras turned on, at 1360x768 fullscreen.
Can't tell you framerates, but very little graphics lagginess. Some odd artifacting of reflective surfaces on roads and terrain at dawn and twilight if I get the angle just wrong while scanning.

As to be expected at this stage. But thats good to hear, seems like they are cleaning everything up very nicely.
