I'm actually super enjoying the amount of trees. Its been a LONG time since I've played an MMO and a forest felt like a forest. Usually trees end up being slightly taller than your character, or they are insanely huge and used sparingly (looking at you Ashenvale in WoW).
I want dense, thick forests of trees. It looks so nice.
I have heard argument about a bland artstyle by quite a few people. I'll reserve judgement until I'm in it. I think -hope- that I will understand it once I'm in it. If the feeling is right, and feels epic when appropriate, then I'll be happy. I think we should wait for tester feedback until later, towards alpha or even beta when we have a better feel for the new world.
I do not play many new games, so I am not sure what is technically possible at the moment. Besides that, the graphics already look great! Also the possibility to look so far is very impressive to me. But here comes my concern: I have a two or three years old PC. I am really concerned, that I will not be able to play the game at all! Especially looking back to Vanguard, which had very high hardware requirements. Please keep an eye on the people who cannot buy a new PC every few years ;)
So far i like the graphics the attention to detail is good.
I like most games graphics tbh they are all different and unique.
Obviously a certain graphic type is more appealing to some then others no games grapics will please everyone its just the way it is.
The things that really appeal to me is the fog i really like the movement of the clouds it really creates a immersive experience.
