Yeah, just noticed and edited my post. I also just noticed that pre-order set has a similar bonus.

Welp, going to restart my witch since I didn't like how her make up looked in certain lighting. Better to do it now than pay for a cosmetic ticket later when I'm more invested.
Also, is there room in the guild? If so:

Character: Red_Star

Pretty happy with the games performance so far, I have to say. It runs well on my rig on max settings and it looks spectacular. It's kind of dumb that it runs better than GW2 does for me. The only hiccups so far are when there are 8 bojillion people on screen.
Yep, I have gigabit internet and it's going at like 2MB/s right now. Oh well, will play tomorrow.
Yo so every single character I make comes out looking the same, like a vanilla char. As if I didn't customize anything, but at the character select screen they look exactly like how I designed them. Load in, bam, back to completely default character.
Anyone have this bug or know a workaround?
MY LOOKS ARE EVERYTHING YO.

I think there is a bug like that. Try opening F4 and then cancel and see if that fixes it.

Blade and Soul was F2P. Right now servers and channels are getting full probably due to guest passes.
Damn, when I messaged you this afternoon the guild wasn't even set up. Can I reserve a spot?

I've purchased lodging, I've purchased storage and connected the first node to olvia that lets you get grapes yet I am running my head into a brick wall trying to figure out how to get my worker I bought to harvest them. I knew there was a learning curve to some systems in this game, but good lord...
-Never mind. Hadn't unlocked the sub node within the node. Lol

Decided to do a big comparison of a lot of the graphics settings to see what the effect of some of them are, and how big of an impact they have on framerate. This was done at 2560x1440 with this rig: i7-4790k, GTX 980, 16gb ram.
Optimization mode (144fps) - Kinda looks like an early 2000's game (capped at 144fps because of my monitor's refresh rate).
Very low (136fps) - Actually looks like a modern game.
Low (132fps) - Better shadows and foilage in the distance.
Medium (100fps) - Thicker foilage at close distance, better shadows at a distance, and more objects rendered further away.
Slightly high (82fps) - Tesselated terrain and better foilage shadows?
High (69fps) - Better LOD and SSAO gets toggled on.
Very high (68fps) - Even better LOD.
High end mode (43fps) - Much better LOD.
No anti-aliasing (43fps)
Anti-aliasing (43fps) - FXAA post processing.
No SSAO (50fps)
SSAO (43fps)
No improve distance (43fps)
Improve distance (39fps) - Improves mountains in the distance (tesselation?), but currently has a bug which sometimes causes gaps.
No filter (43fps)
Vibrance filter (43fps) - This filter is on by default.
No upscale (43fps)
Upscale (63fps) - Not sure which resolution it upscales from, but it has a surprisingly low performance gain.
No crop (43fps)
Crop (110fps)
No screen filter (39fps)
Screen filter (39fps) - Blurs everything at a certain distance.
2560x1440 (43fps)
1920x1080 (67fps)
1280x720 (110fps)
Some thoughts: I personally think the game looks more natural without the filter, so I suggest people try that and see what they prefer. I also personally prefer both "depth of field" and "screen filter" off to remove blur. High end mode is only really realistic if you have an extremely beefy rig or you're taking screenshots. You get more LOD pop-in if you use a lower setting, but the performance hit is huge with high-end mode. If you're not bothered by screen tearing, you should force v-sync off in graphics drivers to get a big performance boost (unless you have a g-sync or freesync monitor).
Some areas have awful framerate no matter what. For instance, Calpheon will drastically reduce the framerate, and there's this weird spot southeast of Hidel which destroys the framerate if you look towards Hidel (getting closer to Hidel from that spot improves the framerate, oddly enough).
Unfortunately, the game applies a sharpening filter which is always on. It looks passable if you have AA on, but I really wish you could turn it off.

Anyone have any impressions on Sorceress? I made one just before work and I got stuck pulling a double and won't be able to play until tomorrow night
Played for about an hour earlier, and it did nothing for me. I think im really done with mmos :/
Man I used to eat them up 5+ years ago too
Edit: this is completely on me btw, the game seemed completely fine from the little I played.

I get a much better FPS without the High end mode... But I can't stand the LOD without it. I hate looking in the near distance and seeing it all look weird.

Could someone summarize the difference between this and Blade & Soul?
BnS outfits don't have battle damage.

I was SUPER hyped when it was first announced in Korea but have nearly lost all interest after they removed the public housing, dumbed down the trade system, and restricted PVP.
Still a gorgeous looking game though.

Thanks for the comparison. Looks like I might be able to run this in the high end mode at 1080P~
FXAA doesn't look too bad in this game.

So we did get it converted from a clan? Sorry, was out with a friend this evening so I haven't been on.

I think we have enough points for the upgrade now but Ashodin had to leave for a while.
Started with close to full energy and had to use an energy potion but I broke into the top 30 gatherers doing that guild quest and have a ton of Cedar now. I think I will save it for later. It looks like we have over 1 million silver in the guild bank already from just two quests. I guess paychecks are not going to be problem as long as people are active.

Awesome. Yeah, as long as people are willing to help complete some guild quests, money isn't an issue.
Tried whispering, but I couldn't find anyone.
My name is Yaina Belwynn if I could be invited.
will do it today ^.^

Its an odd beast this, it runs worse thAn gw2 for me. I can get 30-40 fps on medium settings on this but the shadow flicker and pop in make it unplayable for me. Never have issues with other games, i guess my pc just doesnt like this game lol

I'd love an invite when you're able to. I'll shoot you a fr ingame, fam name is Firelion.
Shadow flicker and pop-in are major issues for everyone. It's really bad on medium settings. If I couldn't run this game on High or Very High I wouldn't be playing, period. Even on those settings the shadow flicker and pop-in are almost unbearable. I really hope they work towards fixing it, or at least giving us better control over settings so we can switch things on and off to combat the problem ourselves based on our preferences.
