I think it's mostly just the starter zones, or maybe they're the capitols, but it all just looks so epic and detailed, especially the Sylvari areas. There's so much going on, but I love that.

Can't wait to check out the pale tree, since most my characters will be sylvari plus2 humans. That song is beautiful btw.

Sylvari master rac- I mean, yea, I can't wait to see The Grove. ;D
[e] Is it safe to assume Sylvari and Asura will be in this next Press Beta Weekend?

Woot epica! *metal horns*
Whoever made that video deserves much props. Music and video fits very nicely together.
Gonna go like it.
I was just thinking that same thing while watching one of the Yogscast bonus clips in the Charr starter area. I'm usually focused on what things need to be accomplished, how he should be engaging in combat, etc., but for some reason my eyes just wandered up and I couldn't stop staring at the environment. I'll probably do a lot of just standing around and looking once I get the chance to see it rendered locally. The textures they use for the ground elements in the Black Citadel (the huge metal gears) always grab my eye in youtube clips as well.
Many low rez character models, they look like lego games sometimes.
Bad animation cycles, especially the walk and run cycles look 10 years old.
Poor lighting, makes the characters look like 2D composites on the wrong environment.
Too much fog blurring out things in the distance.
Cartoony fire and water - obvious 2D sprites with bad animation and no particle effects.
Background looks like matte painting composites as opposed to rendered models.
Not trying to be mean, but I hope this isn't what they pan on releasing... from a technical standpoint it's not really a 2012 game.
VOTE TRUMP! Make America Great Again!
Guys, it's his opinion. If he thinks the game looks bad then whatever, his loss. Just leave it alone, let him starve.
Usually the graphics in beta end up being a far cry from what release ends up being. I had the same problem when watching several videos on it. The graphics are designed well, but they don't shine the way they should with hi-rez textures.
Take a look into Tera. They have the graphics under lock-down ><
