I was going to remake my character because even with bloom intenssity settings down, the combo of his white hair and my selection of the "shiny" option is causing retina burns!
I dont expect, what I created to be there come official Open Beta launch.
Yesterday was a fluke, no idea why we were let in albiet briefly, before Open Beta Start on Sunday.
But it was worth it! I am even more excited now.
I think if Cryptic does even a B+ job on this game it could end up beating WoW subscription numbers.
The Star Trek License is HUGE.
What I really liked in the 45 mins I played was the endless customization of your character...I guess thats a good and bad thing?
Also, I would rate the graphics as better than Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO), but not as good as Age of Conan (AoC), which uses the Far Cry Engine, so thats understandable.
Graphics are much better IMHO than World of War Craft (WoW) too.
There is alot of discussion of the "Cartoony aspects" of WoW graphics.
So for example, depending on what your opinion is of "cartoony", here is my scale:
CARTOONY 10 is least, 1 is most cartoony.
WoW = 1 Most Cartoony
AoC = 10 Least Cartoony
LOTRO = 5
Warhammer Online (WAR) = 3
