<snip> Why should HTC listen to requests for graphics updates when the proof is that it won't draw people to the arena in which it's available?
Do people flock to the arena where it's been available for some time now? No. If people preferred that arena because of its immersive graphics, then maybe HTC might consider activating higher graphics detail. Maybe then we could get ambient lighting and sound as well.
I was suggesting two levels graphic renderings within the same arena.
I would not argue that graphics would be the main driver in any player preference.......basically fun/enjoyment is.
The MA is where it is at..all other aspects of AH are peripheral to a greater or lesser extent. Indeed if you split the MA stats into ground war and air war they would still stand on their own as the two top draws within AH. Ground war graphics are challenged.
Graphics are a component in the fun mix. I do not believe that folk would flock to AH because AH had the supreme graphic engine that delivered the most gob smacking rendering of any game............. but on the other side of the coin.......... I do believe that folk use to high end graphics trying out AH might mark it down in that respect.
I share a concern re the long term viability of AH as a purely PC platform
