I like ESO’s unique look. I wouldn’t want any change that took it out of the Elder Scrolls universe.
(And if we’re talking about cheap/dated/cheesy, WoW absolutely takes the cake in that regard!)

I agree. Lots of attacks look goofy (stabbing with a mace for example), lots of equipment makes player look like a Saturday morning cartoon villain, character models are looking dated (feet that are just shoes with a texture painted on for example)

But if I remember correctly, ZOS used Cyrodiil as the excuse why we couldn’t have cloaks or Armor that wasn’t painted on the character. Because it would cause performance issues for people with potato computers and adding a checkbox in the game options to disable such things is too much work.

Lol, hell no, just got disconnected again, there are wáy more important things to fix first, how can you even concider this being valid?:')

I'm not defending WoW here but the animations are spells have been pretty drastically updated. It looks pretty good these days. I'm not playing WoW atm but they did put in effort to update those things.

That may be; I’ve never played it. The cartoony look is a huge turn off for me. Final Fantasy has a lovely aesthetic but it is not Elder Scrolls and I wouldn’t want ESO to look like it.

Sure, there are models, animations and effects that could be improved, but some might be due to constraints of the engine/server (I am clueless about the technical side, sorry).

YES ! Very good thread I m have sam word about it , animations are very orutine its time to remastered something

omg i'm gonna get hurt today while ROFLing for 3+ hours

joke of the year prize to OP

Have you played WoW lately? The models and animations have been updated drastically. It still has a cartoonish art style but but honestly the animations and spells look FAR better than ESO. The character models on most look better as well.

But it's two completely different styles so it's hard to compare really. If you're idea of good graphics is a more realistic look then I can see why you feel that way.

Won't happen as long as they stick to their animation canceling system.
Rotations will always look jerky like this, like the spastic rendition of YMCA they are now.

This most probably will never happen. zos should change game engine for that and it is basically means that they need to rewrite the game. Have you seen the disaster with fist "performance improvements" they did? They have no clue how the game engine and its networking part are working. New devs are just studying this and in 2-3 years they will get more or less reasonable understanding what could be done without harming it. At this point the understanding that it should be rewritten from scratch will kick in and management will fire those guys and hire new devs and this cycle will go on and on. Looks at WOW for example - they are 2006 cartoonish game. They did 5 iterations to redo this, but it is still cartoonish. Nobody will do this for running game. We are just waiting for new game to come up with better graphics. I personally would like to see what MMO RPG "Lord of the rings" Amazon will do. They have a lot of money and game engine and graphics for their first attempt - New World - was not bad, but MMO with full drop PVP where resources are locked behind guilds - that was ridiculous. No wonder that this *** is dead. But they can reuse game engine from this game and it will be 10 years newer than ESO...
So, will see.

Why would they need to change the engine to update these things? These already exist...they just need to be modified.

I enjoy the game but honestly it just looks so cheap, dated and cheesy in some areas. An overhaul in movement animations, character models and spell animations would really help this game out in my opinion.

I know this isn’t FFXIV, WoW or whatever other MMO and I don’t expect it to look like those. But at the same time this game looks really dated in these areas.

Just my opinion and something I wish the devs would consider.

Is there a reason why people turn off additional effects from ally's? Spoiler: it's distract and fps drops.

just as long as they don't fix the occasional running on horseback bug that needs to stay its almost like the games movement bug mascot

How about let us and our mounts walk backwards like every other game and real life?

I can't even imagine what such an undertaking would do to performance.
