This is why they're making Ultra Mode instead of Ultra Standard.

My computer would be on the older end of the scale, and a laptop, so there's not much I can do about upgrading without buying a new computer, so I'll most likely be unable to see the shineys, but that doesn't mean I'm not excited about it happening. 6 year old games need to be updated graphically when the hardware dictates it if they want to be 7 or 8 year old games. Whether you can take advantage of it or not, Ultra Mode is a good thing all the way around.
agreed

I emphatically agree with this. An overhaul on the Costume Creator in the manners listed above is number one on my list of desires for CoX.

No new IOs or powerset proliferation, darnz.

Oh well at least we get some (hopefully good) content and Ultra mode.

i can see IOs being a possibility for I17, powerset proliferation not really because were getting 2 new powersets (one released before, and one with as i assume DS will be apart of the I17 release because they both include moving tails), GR or I18 might have some of that.

And with the content, im with ya on that... im interested in this fellow who can match me blow for blow, pretty impossable for a mortal to match an immortal blow for blow

Both powersets are a part of the Going Rogue Expansion. Early access to those powersets is granted to those who prepurchse the digital-only version of GR on March 3. Dual Pistols will be available to them starting March 4, with Double XP Weekend. Demon Summoning will be available some time in April.

The rest of us will have to wait until July, when we can purchase a physical copy of GR, along with the goodies, and free month of play.

I wonder if being in the DP closed beta will make it so I'm viable for the I17 Closed Beta. Because I want to test me some ultra mode on my new rig. See if it's up to scratch.

Here's hoping I get the e-mail in the next few days.

To be fair, the closed beta won't really be the best possible indicator for the performance of your rig in the face of ultra mode. Remember the limited resources of test, and the (likely) large beta tester population - the CB for DP was a little bit ridiculous, even for a solid performance monster.

Well, I had absolutely Zero performance issues related to the capabilities to Yggdrasil (My Rig). The only problems I had directly correlate to test itself. I'm just extremely curious if I'll be able to crank the new settings or not. I *should* be able to.

That, and, there's been scuttlebutt indicating that the issues CoX has with ATi rigs are being reduced/diminished/alleviated. I would like to see ASAP first-hand whether or not that particular rumor is true.

That wasn't quite my point. It's lovely that you can differentiate between server resource issues and rig performance issues, but that would put you in the minority. If people are overly concerned with performance while in beta for UM, can you even begin to imagine the number of "omg im lagging and I have a [x] fix this" threads in the closed forums?

That was, more or less, my point. CB should be used bughunting before it should be used for performance evaluation, that's all.

Edit: Scuttlebutt nothin! They've claimed openly to have addressed several long-standing ATI issues. No more goofy water reflection? Sold ^_^
