Preview of Experimental Graphics Improvements

I've mentioned this many times before - the issues with the graphics are due to the netcode, server-side resources being used for 3D positional audio and computing power and frenzy charges on mobs, and how the sound is hooked into fmodStudio which can't handle how you are making draw calls, forcing directDraw out of it's, I think the word is flip queue.

The speculars and aoc files can be tweaked all you like, but this is easily testable.

Make a self-cast Discharger. Discharge. Walk away. Come back later, and you'll hear the discharge aoc since the 3D audio engine is still tryna brute force the discharge aoc through fmod and hasn't relinquished the aoc or the computing resources.

If you like, you can do a further test. Cast another discharge. Die. Watch as frame rates sky-rocket since the game is hard coded to unhook fmod studio and 3D positional audio cues from a client with a dead player.

I've typed this many dozens of times in the last few years, and it really is time to fix these latent issues.

Well.. I'll not even run the game and for sure will not spend a cent anytime soon until there is not clear statement about ES and CI.
I just can not run a game which is offering absolutely nothing different than any of the rest online-but-single-player RPG's, and for sure not spending on it, especially if they treat their population like a milking cows and trash - killing their fun for nothing.

Coming from someone playing a 5500es build: It's fine. I'm still able to facetank, I still do great damage for my level. I have very sub-optimal gear for resists and ES. Leech rate is insanely high thinks to VP working with ES again (just sacrifice a bit of damage to travel to it). Quit complaining that your OP 15000 ES shaper tanker oneshot build got nerfed.

On a more related note: I'm a sucker for great weather and environment effects, these graphics are very welcome!

Weirdly we are finding NONE ES build in your account. Practically you are just trolling a topic which most likely even do not understand.
Just one of the kids which is completely destroying PoE just to propagate with his Kaom in the HP builds.
Pluss facetanking shaper were able just about less than 0.1% of the ES builds, while the HP builds ARE DOING THIS NONSTOP.
GGG - could you please remove all Kaom's, and decrease the HP base items with 25% ?! Let's talk nerfing as we should. Let's completely annihilate this game. OK ?!

Cool, now can you guys discuss that elsewhere? Maybe in the right place where it's not meaningless?
