Is that even realistic? 200 in total sounds like a pretty big number. Warband starts lagging at 150+ players.
Siegbert wrote:Well, lag usually refers to delayed data packages and things like warping. Haven't experienced any of that in PlanetSide2, ever.
Back in beta I did have bad performance in terms of low fps though, if that is what you're talking about.

I never played DarkFall, but seriously? 500 vs 500?
That sounds really exaggerated

Ye, our trees are ugly - we're aware of that. And expecially their LODs

It will be mistake to think that we stayed on the choice what to do: graphics or a gameplay Graphics and Gameplay developed in parallel in two separate groups of developers team and do not interfere with each other. So the progress of the graphics did not depend from the development of the Gameplay
