Maintenance for the week of May 18:
• NA megaservers for maintenance – May 18, 4:00AM EDT (8:00 UTC) - 9:00AM EDT (13:00 UTC)
• EU megaservers for maintenance – May 18, 8:00 UTC (4:00AM EDT) - 13:00 UTC (9:00AM EDT)

Suggestion: Better shadow settings.

Okay, so let me explain. While I appreciate the simplicity the current setting offers, it's not satisfying. I lose FPS quick when on High, but I'm perfectly fine on Medium. My main issue is that, on Medium, the draw distance is so low that I can see shadows fading in as I'm running, which is troublesome.

My suggestion is that shadows will have two settings: draw distance and quality. Draw distance will set how far away shadows will be visible, and quality will determine how crisp your shadows are. I don't see a reason why this can't be added, and I'd gladly sacrifice crisp shadows for a longer draw distance, much like how you would rather see a low-quality mountain in the distance than no mountain at all.

What do you all think?

    Yes, and how about better AA? The current AA shader is underwhelming at best ...

    Yes! I had the same irritation between medium and high. The draw distance on medium is awful! I also believe the graphic settings should be split into interior and exterior categories.
