Hey all, just got this game, and loving it so far,
at least on one computer that I have in my workplace. On my personal laptop, which is effectively a potato, I can’t run the game.
One thing that I’ve noted, is like similar games in the genre, actually playing the game, more or less everything that is in 3-D, is completely un-needed for gameplay. Playing the game at full capacity, involves being able to read the text in the chat boxes, wills, and the interface buttons. Everything else while nice, and perhaps enhances the experience for most players, isn’t actually necessary or even advantageous to see to play the game.
In theory it would seem to be plausible to make an option, or possibly even a slimmed alternate client, that doesn’t bother to render the tables/rooms/models etc… Which would expand the amount of systems that could run the game (and may even be preferred by some of the more hardcore type of players who would rather have less distractions from the game itself).
Again would like to emphasize that this isn’t a request to take the graphics away from any players who want them, I can see no reason why players who have graphics disabled would have any complications playing with those who do, it would simply be an option for those who can’t or don’t want to render the graphics.
