What's with the hate on the visuals?

Those who really like the graphics only look at the good looking sprites and ignore the rest.

Oooooorrrr, they just like all of it.

In complete honesty, I've never once noticed this "white halo" around things that you speak of.   I've never noticed the stumps in the forest stick out.   Ever.

Even if I were to go in there specifically looking for stumps to see what you mean, I can already tell you what my reaction would be, it would be something like me staring at it for 5 minutes, and then saying "Yup.   That sure is a stump, all right."

Something like that seems like the sorta thing that's going to bug the hell outta some players, but other players either literally wont notice or see it, or WILL see it and think "Yeah?  So what?  Slight halo.  Still a nice tree stump."

And thus is the fun with graphics in games!  They can never please EVERYONE, much as they all try to.

I think it says something good about the devs though that they dropped the texture-pack support into the game so very quickly after the art arguements started up.

Never noticed either... lol

I like the idea of textures support too. I would expect there will be a lot of them available soon for download...
