    I've been in the beta for over a year now and i was making a video for a buddy to show what the game looked like.

    I did a video for the first 20 as the bonuty hunter.. but after i uploaded to youtube i saw an older video of it... and ... well.. there is more detail now than before.

    The grafix still don't wow... but it is nice that they did improve it a bit. I'm been very jaded about the game ... maybe i should give it another look :)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05pxi3OsWw8&feature=related <-- older version

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzg38d3Cqio <-- newer version (jump to like 3min in to compare to the old one)

    it might also be useful to look @ to see what the game look like @ 2560x1600

    Quoted from the video:

    If you wanted to see what the graphics and a little game play looks like... here you go :)
    It goes though a few quests and one level up.
    All settings are at max minus AA (that option was greyed out).
    Some parts might look a little jery, but that came from fraps and not the game.
    Game runs 100+ fps no problem.
    This is wha the game will look like when it is released. I've been in the beta for over a year - and while they have cleaned up quests and game play... the graphics haven't change.

    It does look a bit better. But I guess that's a given, it's a beta after all. Still, at least they ARE improving as the beta moves along.

    I don't see why improved graphics are a reason to go back to a game you didn't enjoy.

    they did steamline the quests.. atleast in the first two zones.. a year ago it is crazy grindfest. It isn't so bad now.

    For some crazy reason i pre-order.. so i'm still trying to find some reason to look forward to it :)

    I would have no doubt that as development continues and that servers are prepped and the beta helps inform decisions made on graphical abilities we'll see the graphics become more eye-popping.

    I think the download is pretty big already with the voice acting so if they could trim some gigs off by using good but not great visuals then more power to them for the beta.

    The game looks fine. It's made to play on low end PC's so of course it's not going to be the most breath taking game ever seen.

    Is there any reason to presume that they are seeding beta testers with their maximum quality textures?

    I hope you know that every thing in the beta is confidential.
