  1. So, is the New and ''Improved'' Graphics an April Fools Day Joke?
    Seems so....Does DO really think we are going to like it?

    Changing your settings to get better graphics everytime you log in is not ''Improved'' Graphics

    Happy Birthday DO.

  2. HaHa i'm not impressed i have 50% honor and xp boosters running out and i can't even see anything on my screen and i was hoping to do some gates, but know i will be sending in a ticket on how not impressed i am of this and will be asking for compensation. Good job DO :(

    You can turn it off in the settings, untick 'Turn game into retro mode'.
     
  4. Come on ppl... April the first is for fun not grief... I think to be caught for a 'fools' prank is funny... dont ruffle your feathers... I remember so many 1st April jokes over the years... Remember the fish that could swim up your stream and impale itself on your 'member'... a Joke is a joke and it makes me laugh at least!!

    I have seen this idea many times. The problem is, it's not much better!

    I have been harmed in the past by something that was suppose to be "funny" so you'll pardon me if I don't laugh!

    I can't tell if you're joking or not since you have posted a lot about it not working for you x)

    Before

    After

    The difference is pretty big if you disable the option.

    I'm not joking. Everything is still fuzzy and the lag is worse.

    I put money on a game and I'm a member. I expect more. I have made the changes. I have also changed all the graphics to low and the quality isn't there and the lag is off the charts.
     
  10. I dont say that things are perfect... I just suggest that for the sake of the first of April this year,as has been the case most years on this date, we forebear and wait until reset... Please this is not going to change anything!!!

  12. do you have to sit in the water or is it capable of swimming faster than freefall from 2 feet??

    The fustrating part is the person or persons that were paid to do this Joke could have spent that time working on a real problem with the game.

  16. I didnt disagree...
     
  17. Why have we decided to have a dozen threads started dealing with the same issue? So it is frustrating, IT CAN BE TURNED OFF, it is causing lag"?" then wait till tomorrow to play instead of wasting your boosters (they do not run if not in game unless they are the FREE boosters from Uridium purchase). By unchecking the box it clears the graphics (can not speak about the lag as I always have it).

    APRIL FOOLS
     
  18. Ok it can be turned off but i sent in a ticket about this and they said it was out of sync and they would have it fixed today. Also maybe they could have let everyone know how to turn it off if they want to cause at the time i thought i wouldn't be able to play. And if nobody says anything and there was a real problem they wouldn't know. So cheers i would like to see the biff baff and pow but all i see when it was on was a blurr that's why i didn't like it. Enjoy the game
     
  19. LOOK AT YOUR CALENDAR and the bottom of post # 18 and think about it.

    Hello Tina-The-Impaler,

    Thank you everyone for assisting the user with their concern. This was intended to be an April Fool's joke. Hope everyone's visuals have been back to which they wish to play on.

    Closing as common question.
