    Is it really that different from what we have now? I don't see anything really special, but then again i never cared much for graphics :confused:

    Key points -

    Additionally all avatar animations have seen improvements so they move more fluidly,

    avatars not only look better, but they have been optimized for better performance on all machines as well.

    I would LOVE to see pretty much all clothes in game have their max TT reduced to 10% of what it currently is.

    Careful what you wish for. It may end up only being able to be put on and off once or twice at that rate before breaking. lol

    Also, comparing some of these images, some of the new details actually look horrible. The detail doesn't look any "better," just different.

    That said, I never really cared too much about looks. I would really like it if they finally optimize the graphics to function properly with the engine. It's not our machines not running them properly, it's the engine that they mixed different versions together and called it "custom." This has been discussed before with different members of staff that were willing to just be up front and honest about it, instead of blaming our machines. As long as they fix the real problem, I'll be happy. It's not just the graphics; it's the engine. Hopefully, the real change is in the engine, and that will make it much smoother and hopefully easier to run all together.

    It is nice to see that there is effort being made and we're getting closer to the possibility of a smoother game experience.

    Right when they get all the stuff running smoothly they will change engines or upgrade to a newer one that doesn't support most of the stuff they did in the current one to make it smooth :p

    In the current system, I keep my avatar bald and covered with a hat. I don't like the choices of hairstyles. It does seem the choices will possibly be a little different in the update. Hopefully, there will be better ones.

    I also wonder if we'll have thicker facial hair available, instead of just really thin and barely visible.

    Well having just logged into the new system I can safely say what a total FUCKING NERF by MA, in game my avatar looks nothing like she did in the editor, improved animations my ass, mine walks like she's pissed herself and running isn't any better, my clothing looks like shit and then there's the poke through when she moves. MA better fix it quick other wise there will be no need to craft clothes, as nobody will be buying them when they look terrible and work so badly.

    Only improvement I see is thicker facial hair. Everything else is horrible. People keep crashing, it's more laggy, the editor does not show what you will really look like in game, many outfits now do not look right, pants make your thighs look fat, many clothing items do not show proper color/texture, the list goes on and on.

    They kept putting off releasing it to "make sure they get it perfect" before releasing it publicly, and look what happened when they finally did. They still have not fixed what they broke by mixing versions of the engine, either. That's what needs to be fixed to improve smoothness of gameplay and decrease lag, not add more detail for the clients to load.

    I could say so much more, but I have nothing but bad things to say, so I'm going to leave it at that.
