Did we get a graphics update yet?

Legit the main reason why I haven't came back to play in several years.

Depends on what you consider a graphics update. They have made some changes to some of the older zones, as well as the recently released zones. Character animations, higher resolution and the like hasn't changed.

You'll never get the graphics update you're probably thinking of.

Better looking character models, world etc

It's never going to be a 'everything at once' graphics update.

The devs have been going back to old regions for the past couple of years and doing a graphics pass on them trying to bring them up to how the new regions look.

For Characters: They just did Humans and will do the other races in time.

Yes, LOTRO has been receiving Visual Updates for Years now.

No, LOTRO has not received a Graphics Update as it's still the same Graphics just using a different Visual Style.

So it won't be receiving a New Graphics Engine.

It won't receive a Singular Update to make most or all of LOTRO use the same Visual Style.

From what I've read here and on the O boards no one's super impressed with Humans either. A lot of people were introduced to the Barber NPC to try and get their characters back close to how they used to look.

*** I haven't been in game in a while and am kind of afraid to see how bad my human looks (also I wasn't a fan of changing the Warden that they did and not sure if I want to try and relearn a class I've been playing since 2009.)

At least they fixed the Human Riding animation, that made me almost wanna puke + uninstall lol

The game will never look the way people born after the trilogy movies came out want it to look like. Go play something else if all you're interested in is graphics, the Amazon MMO will be out in a couple years I'm sure and will run just as poorly as New World does but I guess it will look pretty.

they wanna update landscapes this year, characters (humans) faces got a update

[Ken†o]

and they wanna update animations, but it won't be 2023 standards. just the bust lotro engine can afford

[Q]

This game looks amazing imo i have zero complains bout graphics plus that's not the most important thing in lotro.

[Ironwu]

I bet the Amazon game will have pretty graphics. I also bet that the game play, quality and respect for the I.P. will be lacking.

But, it will have pretty graphics.

[Kormach]

You can guarantee the Amazon version will have great graphics if it ever sees the light of day. Based on New World, the gameplay and everything will be less than great.

It's never coming. Don't get your hopes up.
