As a subscriber since tour 2 and a "500 Celeron folk" I say kiss my bellybutton wobble!! There are just as many of us "slow" users as there are "mini crays" and thankfully HTC knows this.
As a matter of fact they themselves use slow machines. I agree that this game can go much farther, but I don't think that it should be at the expense of my subscription
Well kiss my bellybutton too skernsk, i dont want the minimum requirements moved up, i just want there to be
OPTIONS so that the faster machines can have all the really cool stuff they can handle and the "slow" users can still have fun. Notice how
EVERY SINGLE other game out there has tons of options such as
LEVEL OF DETAIL,
SMOKE DENSITY...and so on and so on. I dont want to raise the min-req, i just want more graphical bliss for those who can handle it. I.E. how about some damage modeling on the ships, i for one think its silly to have
ABSOLUTLY NO damage visable on ships, they are either perfect or they are sinking, same thing with structures, there is no such as a "damaged" building or ship in this game. why not make it so that a person can turn on options like
"SHOW BUILDING DAMAGE"
"SMOKE DENSITY LEVEL"
"SHOW SHIP DAMAGE"
"SHOW DEBIRS"......etc
if you have a fast machine you can crank up the options, if you are on a slower machine you can tune it down (to the way it is now)
Having
ONLY 2 settings for EVERYBODY to configure their machines to is REALLY holding the potental of this game back IMO.
