Its driving me crazy ... OMG its 2020 now we all have much better computers then in 2014 so increase the freakin grass draw distance or at least make it an option for those who can handle it. I mean how hard is it??? You can make it for Summerset and Elsweyr so how hard it could be to make it for the rest of the zones? The rest of the game just look so ugly and cheap because of this! It is such an easy feature to add oh my god seriously make it an option please!!!!!! Seriously I want to poke my eyes out everytime I am in one of the older zones ...

    While I understand that you want the game to look as pretty as possible, because all of us want that, I guess... is that really a priority over all the performance related issues? Reworking the grass in vanilla zones?

    Honestly it’s not amazing but not this bad either.

    Test Black Desert Online and see what a trully awful draw distance is, with items popping or dissapearing each 10m

    I've come to theorize that each zone has it's own graphics settings, and ZOS ups it with each new piece of content, but because they've said all visuals that are released to Live will not be changed, I doubt they'd edit the draw distance of grass and foliage.

    Seconded. I finally have a machine that can run ESO at max + reshade at a stable 60, and seeing the grass pop up in front of you is just... weird, lol.

    You are worried about some cosmetic aspect when the game still has a bad performance in the overall?!... Ok...

    This and a rework of all old zone textures is a must for 2020. A toggle for hd textures and an expanded slider for draw distance.

    Also higher geometry and higher object density.

    I run the game at 4k maxed at 70 - 100 fps...

    I wouldn't mind seeing some rework to the grass or small vegetation in the game. Draw distance I've never had an issue with.

    Really? Even in cities? Find that hard to believe a constant 70-100fps. I have a 2060 at High/Medium settings and it dips to the 40's at times.

    I dont do PVP so I never noticed much gamebreaking performance issues. So yeah for me it is a priority. Cmon It is just a simple option for those who have PC that can handle it. If they can do it for newest zones (Summmerset, Elsweyr etc.) then why not also for the old ones. It is just so weird I sometimes just think I am playing two different games lol.

    Viewing distance even at 100 is pretty poor. Popin is almost the offensive to the eye on base consoles. Xbox X has the high/ultra setting at least. I made the platform swap around Xmas and have no regrets.

    Would be nice to see them do some engine refreshes once the older consoles are inevitably put out to pasture—this would have benefits for PC players too, obviously.

    Let's wait for the optimization update first before we start on things like grass.
    What are Natch Potes? Can you eat those?

    you know I don´t get it its just a one simple option for those who want to use it. I mean you can use for example reshade to enhance visual looks of the game, this can also eat you up some FPS and It´s not a problem, so why this is. Seriously ONE SIMPLE option. It´s already there in the game in Summerset and forth, so whats the big problem?

    I run a 2060 on high/ultra and can get 60+ in big cities. But I believe this game is more CPU intensive than GPU .
