Very nice!!
Yes please,want to see this in game. *thumbs up*
I kinda would like to see how that would look like in tower of spirits with all the candles in there.
That is very impressive, Racktor. Very nice work. It certainly is beautiful.
Well done :)
The video is quite remarkable, but it couldn't really be used to attract new, "modern" players.
1) It shows an Istaria that does not look like that. The light effects are cool in some scenes, quite heavy in others. Someone attracted by such "radiosity" would probably install a trial, log in and find the much more plain looks and would be disappointed.
2) It struck me for the "stillness" of the filming. If I'd be a new player, I'd love to see scenes littered by people / NPCs doing stuff, fighting, going around and so on. Istaria is not that much dynamic, but some scenes of combat (with well visible graphic effects) and a group of "actors" playing their bipeds / dragons to liven up the scenes would have turned the video to a lively world a new player would want to explore.
It's really a magnificent piece of work, but please don't misunderstand; it's not a promotional video or anything. It's just Racktor experimenting 'round with photoshop etc, shiny, pretty innit?Quote:

Well.... the point of the video isn't to attract new players. As Schwarz said -Quote:

(And thanks for the first bit of both of your comments btw!)
Nicely done Racktor :)
I wonder how it would look like during an ascension.
Istaria is wonderful!
And so are the people who understand to make vids and pics and other things,
that show their and the whole community`s love to the game.
Like that much Racktor- thanks!!!
Awesomeness. :D
I so love how the Dragon casts a shadow between the sun and ground.
Those gates, soooo shiny *love eyes*
Aww nicely done! I like it!
What would it look like on Primal Rebirth?
Thank you all so much for the kind feedback! <3
For those who wondered what X or Y would look like, I edited a few screenshots:

The candles at the Tower of Spirits. It doesn't look too well since they aren't really very big -

..but looking up looks pretty neat:

I could've probably enhanced the effects a bit if I adjusted contrast/brightness but I'm kind of short on time right now ^^;
Thanks Racktor,turned out the way I expected. cool
You have the skill and the time to help Istaria, if you so desire.Quote:

Picture it like this: Istaria needs our help, and it's like a server event where we can make a difference and help our beloved game improve, because new subs = new funds for new things.
