looks great. now go to E3 with it

[_Kane_]

OMG! That was some huge caves! (and nice graphics)

[Kito]

Wow, those caves are amazing.

[Blade]

Im imagining this being the entrance to a cave in the underworld right? so the blurring would be the roof of the gigantic cavern in which the entrance is set in a stalagmite?

Wow, the screens and the different positions of the camara, really show the enormity of the world! I like the blurrines of the darknes, it gives the shots a pretty "dark" feeling.

Cool, I like them a lot!! Gratz!

[Mars]

The blurring is probably a mix of LoD and jpeg compression since it seems to appear on the far away shots.

Test6 seems to imply that the giant stalagmite is a spiral stairway to the surface. http://forums.darkfallonline.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

The doors look fine, but I do wonder how that little girl is ever going to get them open all by herself. Maybe they should ship me a copy of the game so I can give her a hand. http://forums.darkfallonline.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

The underworld has an awesome cavernous feel to it.

[sowiho]

I always get worked up when I see new screens!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!"

Respect to The_Fool!!!!! nice art!!

[Dozier]

hehe nice guys, much better than the 4x4 caverns we normally see in games, http://forums.darkfallonline.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Skarth]

i like the new shots, but where are the shadows ?

[Conan223]

The caves don't seem to be quite finished but it appears pretty impressive so far. I don't think I've ever seen 3D rendering so well however graphics aren't all that matters. The caves are large and it looks like there's plenty of room for all kinds of traps, monsters, etc. I just can't wait for the release! And I hope that credit card isn't the only option of payment. ;)

the screenshots are nice, but i'm not that impressed. maybe it's just me though. i'm more of a nature person, like woods and stuff. i wouldn't mind seeing some screenshots of mountains and plains, stuff like that. so looking at it through a gaming critics point of view... very nice! listening to my personal tastes... i prolly won't spend time in there.

[Kinison]

Wow, that looks so much better than ShadowBane and AC2.

Keep up the great work!

[Lancaster]

Very nice pictures. Good job  http://forums.darkfallonline.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

[Sachem]

Very nice, very airy. Some sources of lighting would add to the feeling of a cavernous space and help the realism aspect. Patches of glowing fungus on the floor and lower walls, maybe. I was looking for a torch at the entranceways, but even though there seems to be a spotlight, to give the lowest spike on the right in Underworld1-4 its bright light - where is it?

Great cavern and a cool structure

[Yggdrasil]

amazing graphic, i really love it.

i dont have anything to say on the graphic......
i realy dont have anything bad to say about the screenshots
at all.It would be really cool if you put some flying creatures
like an dragon in such a big cave

keep up the good work and give us more candy http://forums.darkfallonline.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif

[Viranth]

I really enjoyed the screenshots, the caves looks HUGE, which makes you as the player feel pretty small in the big picture, which I think is cool. (small in the big picture, but important =))
And that the ceiling has those minerals, crystals or whatever it is, also makes it pretty cool.
I know it's a test and all, but it should be even darker where the alfars live =)

[Mkuz]

Very good, although I also noticed the blur on several screenshots. Also the "darkness" effect (one that makes distant objects almost invisible and causes cave ceiling to be unseen on several screens) looks too much like a "fog" and not darkness. I understand that it may be better to use fog 3d effect because it is accelerated on most 3d cards, but maybe it would be possible to make it not so obvious. Now some screenshots look like this is not a dark cave but a dust storm when air is not completely transparent.

Ah, and one more thing: that archer on screenshots holds bow in his right hand, that is incorrect unless he is a lefthander. As it was noticed in one of the threads at general forum, one holds bow in other hand then a sword, because he has to pull bow-string with his main (stronger) hand.

This made me think of the differences between EQ's world and AC's world. Each EQ zone had a very unique feel to it where AC's land mass felt extremely generic. Lavastorm, Kith, Oasis, Kerra, Guk... they were all very different places. You actually felt as if you were in a different part of the world in EQ, but you always feel like you're in the same place no matter where you go in AC. I hope that the devs are able to make different areas of Agon more distinct like EQ zones than generic like AC.

I've been looking at the pictures (again)... Do you think that footsteps and sounds echo when you're in one of those huge caverns? I just have to wonder if that Human's screams will echo as my Mahirim tears into her. Um, that... and if there will be sound effects like dripping water and rushing wind. http://forums.darkfallonline.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/alien.gif

[ENDER]

Literally,
I'm in love. &nbsp;These are so awesome. &nbsp;I hope that the Orc houses get kinda spruced up a bit, the one level blocky look is awkward, but everything else is butter. &nbsp;These goblins or whatever, are they a playable race or just an enemy town that can be raided?

[Airius Droc]

The test screens look great. &nbsp;I really like the way the door fits into the background, very "Planescape" like.

The darkness/fog makes the environment look gritty. &nbsp;I'm not used to seeing this in games and I think it's a nice alternative. &nbsp;One of the other posters mentioned that the darkness was too "obvious" and I have to agree (if that's what it is). &nbsp;Seems as though there are a few screens where the foreground is crystal clear and the background/surrounding dark-fog has that gritty texture to it.

The archways were a nice touch, I suppose there's a practical use for the double ramp? &nbsp;Off the top of my head I'd say it was for defense as well as convenience, but I'm just guessing of course.

One thing I noticed about this (http://www.darkfallonline.com/gallery/view_photo.php?set_albumName=screenshots&id=cavern4) picture was that there were buildings kind of out in the open. &nbsp;It might be cooler if the underground buildings could appear to be more entrenched in the rocks and walls of the cavern. &nbsp;Just a thought. &nbsp;Very cool screens!

THANK YOU, Mkuz...

[Alistair]

The new screenshots look great. &nbsp;I like the gritty feel that some of them have, too. &nbsp;I think the level of lighting is nice. &nbsp;If it is too dark, it just becomes annoying, imo.

[Gaintlord]

I love the new screen shots.

Any word yet when you will start posting pictures of the other races?

Also in the dark tunnels if they were holding a torch or somekind of light sorce would it be more lighter around the char?

I do like the how the darkness works in the pictures.

Also if you have to light sorce at all would you be able to see very little or would it be a black screen like in EQ?

[KorumMaker]

Very nice team!
I am definately enjoying the graphics, and the relative size of the entrance area to the human character.
Bullseye people!

PS:Still looking for those screenies of female elven characters that would make hugh hefner drool http://forums.darkfallonline.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Arolas]

Well so far, the Dwarven town, underground caverns and the orc encampment look as I was hoping pretty much. I do like Airius' idea about having the underground buildings being built more into the rock itself and such, perhaps there could be different floors built into walls and such. Overall, the new pictures look really quite atmospheric and as far as the big update goes I think it's going to keep the drooling fans happy for a while.

Or just make them want even more ;)

[Falstaff]

Nice Job!
I like the look of the orc buildings alot.

[Warrzie]

Looks great, but one question: When are we going to see some shots of the interface? &nbsp;So far all of these shots are nice, but I would really like to see how you have the inventory,spell bar,and first person view set up. The only one I've seen was on that Norwegian newspaper site. How about it,just a couple shots of the interface? &nbsp;http://forums.darkfallonline.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Graphics look sweet!!!

[Solidus]

Quite plainly, the graphics look GOOD. &nbsp;But as far as graphics go, I could care less.....im more of a gameplay person.

[Dreadful]

wow with gfx like that im guessing the system requirements are gonna be pretty high :P
have they released anything about them yet?

[Kazgeroth]

I think they said all that would be released when signups started.

[Night[Combine]]

Really nice rendering, I was just wondering if light and sound effects will be a part of the underworld design.

Being able to hide in a dark hole where there is no torch, being able to hear mobs or players coming with their footsteps reverb, some ambient sounds, underground rivers, screams, echoing, unsecured zone lit by torches and all that kind of stuff that can bring some strategy in the way you act in those zones.

[Darkon]

Nice screenies and renderings guys, looking forward to seeing the stuff ingame.
And congratulations to the fan art artists ;)

[Damartyr]

Well I loved some the outdoor pics especially the ones with the grass going up to the warrios knees around the houses very life like.Some of the underground pics are spectacularly detailed.The characters seem a bit under modeled.Also the sewer pics as well as the lizardman in it seemed awefully plain.

[Veilroth]

I as many more probably, are speechless. Keep up the good work guys! You're too good to be true :D

[AikenAidan]

Thank you for sharing those with us. B)

[WoundUp]

Ooooooooh... *wants to playtest*

Coming from Shadowbane I look forward to this game. Heard of it on the SB boards and had to come take a look. It looks very promising and the character advancement and specing system is very intriguing. Take your time to get things right with stability and multiple players in the same location and I will for sure buy this game.

[Zero]

Loved all the screens, Your right the doors in those screens did look a little funky but ill live, my major complaint was the armor on the horse looked not nearly as nice as the armor on people, now of course your thinking its just a horse big deal but to me if im gonna be riding somthing i want it to look as good as i do :P

[TSC_Belaiel]

Very awesome.

[Murray]

Very nice, seems some new pics have been posted since this thread started. The play environment is amazing. Would like to know if the models for the lizardmen and players are complete in those shots or if mre work will be done on them. Also have to agree with the person asking for interface shots...

But, heck I'm happy enough seeing actual boats on the water!!! Where'd I put my cannon....

[someguy]

Aww, god damnit. You got me all excited that there were new screenshots, but you're just posting in an old thread. Damn you.

[Tyron]

DF looks each day more and more promising :)
Cant wait for the day when it will finally be released !

And yes, please give us some screenies of the interface and the races.
