It just means we are too lazy to do it.

I took a few the first time I logged on but the character models don't make for great screenshots so I decided not to post them.

The scenery is nice but we've seen that before.

All I see are dark pics. must be Vanguard or something awfully depressing like that. Wrong forum Cart. Follow the rules you troll or you'll end up banned someday.

I want to see more screenies, preferrably during the day and some of the Monk techniques i've heard so much about.

Why are you using a WOW interface mod Miir?

The character model needs some work but the scenery is excellent:

Pretty cool huh?
Honestly? I cannot make out anything from those things. Please post daytime pics, if you must.

All of the screenshots you've posted here and in the Vanguard forum are dark Miir. You need to adjust the gamma or use one of the online sites to adjust your picture. All of the ones here look like night shots so it's hard to tell.

Looking at the screenshots reminds me of being a blind human monk in EQ, wandering around Qeynos Hills without a Firebeetle Eye, much less a moonstone!

Why are there Vanguard fanboi posts in the LOTRO forum?

LOTRO is the new WoW, Vanguard is the new EQ2, and Miir is still Miir.

Christ, can we stop fucking up another thread? Yes, we get it, you love Vanguard and hate LOTRO. I like em both; doesn't mean we need to see Vanguard pictures in this forum. Please quit being a douchebag and post LOTRO pictures if you want to join the discussion.

Why is it that MMOs focus on snazzy environments and ugly PC and monster graphics? The LoTRO PC models aren't too bad, among the better ones, but that.. what is it, a troll? Whatever it is, it's hideous. It looks like it has downs syndrome or something.

And yes Miir, your screens are all very dark. That interface is sadface, but I guess it at least lets former WoW players feel secure and familiar.

The troll is a vanguard SS. In fact, all SS's posted by Miir are Vanguard SS. He can't seem to find the Vanguard forum.

No, he knows exactly where that forum is. His ePeen just requires that he troll forums for games that other people are interested in so that he can "feel" superior in some way for playing another game.

Does that hat give you any special powers Midnyte? It looks like a combination of a witch hat and pirate hat!

A few shots were taken with really low settings because so many people were on screen. These were end of closed beta shots. I do NOT have the High-Res client. If someone has a new PC with the High-Res client, things will look a lot better than these pics.

I must say, LOTR got some great frickin terrain and scenery! Models aint bad either!

They really look like they have substance in the group-pic.

What the F... I have all my settings turned to high and my graphics don't look anything like that. I was actually thinking the graphics didn't impress me until I saw these screenshots. I'm running in 1280x1024. How you get the graphics to look like that?



p.s. I'm running a 7800 GT also, so should be able to handle high settings.

I have an ATi Radeon 1900 Crossfire Edition and I have the setting all on High with it running at 1680x1050.

Which package are the two of you using? Hi-res vs Lo-res client

Posted: April 20, 2007, 2:11 pm
by Midnyte_Ragebringer
I don't know how to tell what I have.

Posted: April 20, 2007, 2:13 pm
by Boogahz
I know that when I installed from my pre-order disk, I had to choose which version to install. Originally, the hi-res version was only available on the disks, but I think it is also available for download in some places now. I am not at home or able to search the LOTRO Forums, but I believe there are ways to see which version you have in your install directory.

Posted: April 20, 2007, 2:28 pm

Hrmm, I only have the free world tour atm, so maybe I'm stuck with low rez for now until I pre-order. That could be the reason why theres such a difference in graphics!

Posted: April 20, 2007, 2:30 pm
by Xanupox
I have only the LOW-RES version.

I am running a P4 3.0GHz, with 2 GB Ram Dual Channel on an ABIT ICG-7 Motherboard. Graphics were turned up to Very High ingame and my video card is an AGP Radeon X1950Pro, 512 MB.

I am sure others have way more powerful systems than me, plus add on the High-Res textures and they actually all bump map for more depth on armor and stuff.

I will get High-Res once I get my Retail disks, my download was only Standard-Res.

Posted: April 20, 2007, 2:37 pm

Okay. I looked on the LOTRO forums. If you have it, you will have client_highres.dat in your LOTRO folder. I don't have it. I ordered a digital download too, so I don't think I get a DVD. I really fucked up on that one.

I actually think LoTRs scenery and sky rivals and surpasses Guildwars :)

Best i've seen so far in a MMORPG

Havent seen much from Vanguard tho, just some dark screenies ;(
