MnM going to be great. You will never need to play EQ TLP trash again or fresh start rerolls or previous games over and over. Time for a new decade of gaming to take me into the retirement home.

Wow swing and a miss from the peanut gallery, thought I was gonna have to come in here and school you fags but then i saw its just 3 new pages of people telling you the graphics are shit and there's deeper technical problems combined with the low res. The graphics are a problem, it has nothing to do with polygon counts. These character models and animations look like a turd compared to mmos from the 90s/00s,. There is NO artistic style, no charm, its not stylized or even "cartoony." It looks like something drawn by someone with zero artistic talent. This game looks like what pantheon would have looked like if those religious folks had secured funding and we got actual fuzzy trolls.
Yes WoW taught the industry that stylized graphics work well if you stick to an artistic vision with smooth controls and responsive gameplay. Except this game has neither? 2004 wow looks like fucking the sistine chapel compared to these models and it played smooth as butter compared to this shit.
The problem is the complete lack of artistic style not that the art is low poly. Im not sure how this is coming as a surprise to you guys, this game is made by 2 dudes both coders neither of which have an artistic bone in their body. Everything else the game has and is is a few hours of free volunteer labor, of course the art is gonna be shit. This shouldn't even be debatable. The problem is like most decisions made for this game so far, the guys in charge are dumb.
Throw the ea up on steam charge 19.95 include 30 days free sub and then use that fucking windfall of profit from a few hundred thousand box sales to hire actual artists to overhaul characters and animations; this isnt hard but they insist on only wanting 15/month from the maybe 500 dudes who've heard of this game and can afford a sub after paying for their percocet habit

I really don’t understand this… nocturnal animals are not day blind. It’d be more accurate if they saw muted colours, as they’d have more rods than cones. Or maybe you could make edges a bit blurry? But a lower range of sight similar to what human PCs experience at night doesn’t make a lot of sense.
