When is the graphics overhaul coming?

I always see someone complaining about the graphics. Mosly in global chat. The graphics were the first thing that made me download the game. I always loved that dark, wet and realistic look, unlike the bright and cartoony look of another game I shall not name. Considering the size and budget of this team, I would rate the graphics as one of the best I've ever seen. And I'm not exaggerating or letting my inner fanboy talk.

This is all I wanna say and add more that even if the graphic can be better. I would rather see GGG use that money and time to develop more contents,customization, items...etc. Because there're tons of eye candy games out there that just have no soul at all.
Again, good job on the graphic.
Strange, Ages did not change this Place
Some of the environment textures are crazy bad in dark souls (although the same can be said about some of our things *cough the bones in the coves*. However their armour and monster bakes and textures... god they are awesome. The designs of the monsters and armours are awesome too.

Lol at their characters faces though :P

Doesn't really matter though. It just gets covered in awesome looking armour anyway.

Im pretty sure the only time anybody puts effort into their characters face in darks souls is when making it look as absurd as possible.

And yeah, dark souls has a mix of amazing textures and bad textures, because the game was designed to run in 1024x720, not 1920x1080 downsampled from 1440 or 1620 resolutions.

The majority of the textures in dark souls are actually extremely good though.

I personally am fine with the 'downsampled ps2 game' look of PoE, but i wish the armor (CHAIN ARMOR OH GOD) and weapon (bows) textures/models were a bit nicer, but that's not exactly a priority.

The aesthetci in PoE is extremely well done which is what's important anyway.

+1.

That chain armor is... wow. Every time I put it on I cry a little inside.

Is that the horrible one with red on it? Thought the normal chain was alright. Not so sure. I know some of the witch stuff is rather lacking. Also the bows just look like sticks with brown applied to them :P

Full Ringmail is what it was called. Not sure what the other chain armor looks like, haven't really checked.
I might be in the minority for liking POEs graphics a lot!

For me and most of my friends it's just missing some variations, things you already announced (cosmetic microtransactions). I still wonder if that will cover stuff like fire-ice-novas (ice nova with fire support gem), or fire-lightning-arcs (arc with fire support gem)^^.

That would look great, wouldn't it?

Im in agreement with this. The graphics are a huge draw towards this game for me, along with playability. Very dark, gritty and real. Its pretty much my dream come true.

It would be lovely to have the support gems or extra effects as you mentioned.

It would be nice but that's about 200+ spell variations I would have to do (and we don't have that many spells yet)

Also remember some spells and ability's are built up with more than just one effect. lightning warp has 4 parts for example.

Thats why we just add fire or ice or whatever to the hit effect.

Shame but I fully understand that you have to prioritize
