Water Technology in Path of Exile

Nice job making the new water, seriously. I like to bitch about how the backend programmers sometimes have no idea what they're doing, but I admittedly would have zero clue how to start with many of the graphical challenges that PoE faces. Computer graphics is an awesome field.

One of the best environmental improvement of the year, congratulations for the awesome job.
Sometimes in maps with beaches, I just stop and watch the sea, it's very relaxing (once all monsters are eradicated :)

Very interesting read, as an aspiring programmer it's good stuff! The new water really makes a world of difference.

I'd rather have it be as minimal as possible and have 0 possible effects because of all the other particle junk that eats my fps with no options to disable.

Your poor PC shouldn't impede on other players who are Keyboard Warriors. Buuut, they should make an option in the menu:

Water Physics:
*Ultra
*High
*Medium
*Low
*Super Low
*Kemblain's Computer

From highest to lowest.

Beautiful, but useless FPS eater.

Yes you're right, let's just remove everything that eats DPS.

I suggest to revamp the game to be something like this, so that all potato computers in the world can run it smoothly :
