1.2 Improved Textures?

[isomemory]

So, I might be a little behind (spend most of my free time playing, instead of searching the internet), but I saw in the patchnotes that they are adding "improved textures" into the game.

 

- Does anyone have any pics that compare the current state of the textures to the new ones?

 

- How much of an impact on your overall performance does the new texture option have?

 

Thanks

Your performance will be unaffected if you're already running low end setting.

 

The higher res textures are only on characters, not the surrounding world.

 

A picture comparing the two is visible from the 1.2 trailer available on youtube (I think there is also a 1.2 trailer on this site, but I think the video itself is low res here)

Thanks for the response! I found a nice showcase of the new textures.

The textures look better yes...looking at the Knights new set kills all desire to go Raiding though.
