GWMO.4785 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I kinda wanted to show and warn people about the difference of this weapon in preview and in world. There is quite some intensity difference. I know many people will actually like this. But for those who like to have just minor visual effects without turning into an radian cluster kitten. Be warned: https://i.imgur.com/GJMkCxV.jpgPs: If a dev is reading this. Please do help me getting my 150g back. (yes i already did send a ticket)Update: reply to my ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenooble.5014 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 That resolution... are you playing on a TI-83?Edit: Yea, that preview is definitely off. What GPU do you have and what are your graphic settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirlias.8104 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Getting back means that you bought the item, so there's no chance they are going to take away the cash from the seller.I wish you good luck though i am pretty sure of the outcome.

RoseofGilead.8907 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Yeah, the preview doesn't show what the actual item looks like when equipped, I agree. However, you're not going to get any gold back because it was a trade made on the TP. You paid, you got the item, and the seller got the gold.

Donari.5237 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 That is quite a difference. I'm running on high/ultra settings and my preview shows the same as yours. I don't mind the extra effects for the anger-issues alt I'm most thinking of using the skin on but I was hoping for something like in the preview. Thanks for the heads up.

Ayumi Spender.1082 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'm...That's a huge difference. I'm kind of glad I can't afford one with the look like that.Seeing that you bought it, I don't think you can simply get your money back on this... I would more ask them on why it looks different and hope they fix the in game version to look the same as the preview (at least then I would want one too as I sure don't want it looking like the right image... that looks bad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is often the case with the preview window and post process effects, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bart.3687 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Thanks for sharing.Frankly, I like it better in the world than in the preview window. Now I want this torch even more. I just wish I could recolor it. I need it in blue/violet. :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWMO.4785 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 So i finally received a reply from a dev to my ticket. As expected, the spend gold can not be refunded. That is totally ok, but still the preview mislead is still there and needs to be fixed. The dev that took his time wanted me to post the issue in the forums. well i already created this topic before i got an answer, so here i am, bumping it up again. To the dev that took his time to reply to my ticket. I'd like to thank you sir, o7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oglaf.1074 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 On the plus side, it goes perfectly with the Warrior effects when you enter Berserk mode.So there's that at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 The preview window has long since needed a major update. There's no way to change the lighting (which affects how things look), no way to see how the skin looks during combat, no way to dye it properly (if armor), and generally things look very different in the preview panel than they do in game.

Yamazuki.6073 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I had bought it a couple days ago and had been disappointing it didn't look the way it did in the preview, as in my opinion the model shown when previewing is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coulter.2315 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I personally prefer the in game version more than the preview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
