Proposal to Remove Grass From Server (Vote)

[S. Mick]

After talking to Deadman I received permission to get a vote on whether or not to disable grass. This is a simple yes or no vote but feel free to leave comments. I want the grass turned off on the exile server, mainly because it's PvE and AI ignores grass and can see you through it. Secondarily, it may help framerates for people on older hardware like myself.

On the downside, the game won't look as pretty or detailed without grass. This doesn't affect other plant objects, though. Only grass.

If it helps improve the frame rate for people on some lower end systems then you got my yes .

I agree with Colin on this one, good move if made.

Servers been lagging a bit when it starts loading up with players. Anything to help the frame rates..

[SARGE]

TheOctagon go here for your path to better frame rates.

But before you go to that link, think on this, chasing after the best frame rates is an insatable monster. Don't be displeased with your current FPS if you are able to play. Do try to improve them, but if you aren't successful to the point of satisfaction don't get discouraged, just join the rest of us in that race.

Forgot to vote earlier

I like grass.

I was going to vote yes if it helps, plus the ai can see us through the grass, but we can't see them. I guess you could look at that as a disadvantage or a challenge. I don't think I will miss the grass. I'll just look at it like the lawn is being maintained thoroughly.
