What Quality Does Intrepid Want Regards To Water/Effects?

Just curious how detailed or "realism" is going into water? I remember Steven mentioning something about puddles during the last monthly video, and that's a great addition and all but what about the shores and further out into the waters. White caps on waves? Ripples from fishing or anything else. Different sizes of waves that will/could push ships/boats (drifting). Again, this just out of curiosity and possibly foolishly optimistic.

    This was from when they were still working in UE4, so expect them to have more under UE5.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say "the best they can without sacrificing optimization and server performance.

    what im expecting (still too early for water be a priority, but i hope as close as good water physics as assassin creed origins/odyssey which certainly is some of the best out there, not only that but also the light over the Surface and underwater as vegetation/terrain and also reflections: [fair warning, when a game looks this good i cant control myself and yes i take a lot of pictures 🤩]

    also i hope there is a rework over the sand on the tropics, its looking quite depressing... can we get some more smooth and whitish sand.

    I feel envy,

    and i feel PISSED. :mrgreen: i want Ashes of Creation to look this awesome - AND BEYOND this. I have seen in earlier Presentations that Ashes easily has what it takes. :mrgreen:

    When ?
    When will we finally see the Greatness unfold ? ;)

    while the visuals are desirable I'm not sure an actual, functioning MMO could support such quality and still be playable, at least in this decade

    I think i get your point. However ... ...



    Can the Dev's not make this all optional ? How good or bad or lush or barren a Game will look ? So that every single Player can adjust the Setting just for themselves ?

    The Weather Presentations 2 Years ago and above that were the absolute Bomb.

    I watched the biome video from two years ago. It looked good then too. If there is a better example specifically let me know to compare them.

    As for current water. it does show physics with well.. currents lol from which the naval video presents from the engine.

    I will say the wake from the boats looks relatively under-whelming in comparison though. Looks like the spray can feature in Paint for windows lol

    It would be wonderful to slider the hell out of the visuals but the effort to provide that level of goodness for the few with enough PC to actually run it might be a drain on dev time.

    I hate to say it, but you are starting to sound like me.

    This was the exact answer I was about to give.
