AndreaColombo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 It's 1080p before UI upscaling begins to occur I think. Ouch. Bad bad bad. I bought a 2560x1440 screen because they said during the kickstarter that it would be the native resolution of all of PoE's art assets. Lowering that resolution = bad move. I'd hate to be stuck with a zoomed-out blurry scaled view after tailoring my purchase for this game. "Time is not your enemy.

Hopefully we can get a definite answer to this, I plan to DSR to the native res if it's higher than 1080. But, going by Sensuki's comment, looks like I'll be sticking at 1080.

AndreaColombo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hopefully a dev will chime in and confirm the max resolution past which scaling occurs?

BlueLion Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Unfortunately, my gut is telling me I've heard 1080p mentioned before. I hope it's higher. I have been playing Serpent in the Staglands beta lately and the combat speed in that game is brilliant. It's quite noticeably slower that PoE but I find myself, because of the speed, actively positioning characters and playing much less with pause activated.

Sensuki Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 I too thought that PE in the new slow looked more like stock BG1 than the current speed. I played the IE games a bit faster though (40 FPS). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yea, the slow mode would be a great combat speed with animations etc adjusted to fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Stolen Senuki screen and edited it, to make text more easy on eyes. In short, please make background darker, to make highter contrast. Also do it in shop, it is really annoing in normal version. (despite that UI is really nice) 10 Me dno't sapek Eisnlgh. Bveleie I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarex Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Wanna hear something funny? Those light wooden panels with white text on them was the very first thing I reported in as bad and almost unreadable in the earliest beta, and they are still in. I just can't wrap my head around why. Voice of Reason: *Pst! It's because you're just a backer, and not a game dev at Obsidian* A good solution would be to add a burn effect around the letters or just add a black shadow to them.

TrueMenace Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 My pet-peeves from watching the entire stream: More ambient sounds to bring the environments to life. Walking through the city in BG2 you would hear merchants off in the distant, and chattering. It really brings the place alive. Need more random NPC's in the cities. At the moment, they feel empty, even the interiors feel empty and lifeless. Combat still seems too fast for me and all party member's animations are in sync which annoys me. It's too samey, they all stand the same, etc. It's super weird. Crickets...nuff said. Make spell animations better and more clearer? When Josh casted necrotic lance, Aloth shot a purple blob? Is that placeholder??? lol... Calibrating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ink Blot Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The wood panels for the Stronghold/Shop etc interface need to be a lot less noisy - text looks really bad on them. It's the same in every interface that uses them, been meaning to bring it up for a while. Also not so sure their general color is good for white text either. I have perfect eyesight, but it doesn't look very nice to look at and might be hard to read for some people. I'll vouch for that. My days of perfect eyesight are long behind me, although I only need glasses for anything close in. But I find the text in that shot is a bit blurry for me. Ultimately, I can read it, but it takes some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morhilane Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Is it ironic that the character that looks like Jesus is actually the one that "die" and "come back to life" the most? 1 Azarhal, Chanter and Keeper of Truth of the Obsidian Order of Eternity.

Luckmann Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I prefer cursor-based transitions. By that I take it that you mean that the cursor changes like in the IE games. It does so when it mouses over a hitbox. So.. Yeah. That's pretty much exactly what I want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naurgalen Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I really like what I saw on the stream, my main complains are about immersion and already touched by other members of this community: 1) City's feel empty And by empty I don´t mean the amount of quests or the talk-able npcs, I mean the basic npcs that "live" there, with 2 or 3 lines of basic shared dialog. I know that placing npcs with special working animations is impossible at this point (like a smith working, one employee with a box, a farmer with his cow or whatever), but even just people standing "hearing" someone talking, chatting in the door of their home, walking to another place of the city, looking at a monument/pond/table etc... would make wonders to the immersion with little resource inversion. 2) Combat could get a little of spice up While I have heard a couple of screams and some nice hits, more battle cries, and some sound and visual effects to special / critical hits - and deaths- would make it far more interesting. For example I propose a less exaggerated PA like crit ( ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyFox Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I agree with pretty much all of that. They have got to change the color of the background on those and make it darker...it is hard to read. Stats and some other things don't seem right and combat is still leaving me with a bleh sort of feeling...as much as I want to play this it could be a 3 month wait or heavily modded play-through for me...set up game is set up though?

Kaz Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yup, I've had the same opinion on wood textures for lists being too light / noisy to be used against text. We already have new assets for that and will be replacing the old list assets soon. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
