Nominations for Replacement

Death's office

current
replacement
replacement 2 (Tony's version)

Previous discussion: Here.
Reason: Higher resolution, less compression artifacting, and darker lighting

• Support - As nominator. https://i.imgur.com/58AXzQe.png^{(talk | contribs)} 01:08, July 15, 2017 (UTC)

• Support - IsobelJ 06:27, July 15, 2017 (UTC)
• Weak support - The colours look sharper and the view is more open, however two details bug me. The first is that the stairs look rather darker than in the current version, such that the carpet isn't really visible. The second is that Harold doesn't hold his hands together and isn't illuminated anymore. Fswe1 07:48, July 15, 2017 (UTC)
• Support - I've attempted to retake the image to try and fix Fswe's minor complaints while maintaining the same angle as you can see in this image. There's not much really different apart from the bloom being noticable on the door behind Death and the ground being a tiny bit brighter and the textures (at least to me) look slightly cleaner on the window murals. TonyBest100 12:33, July 15, 2017 (UTC)

Every so slightly better, I agree. I'll leave it to Basenji's discretion. Fswe1 11:56, July 16, 2017 (UTC)

• ?!?!?!? - Are we really trying to replace an image that was featured for literally one day? --Liquid^Talk 15:46, July 17, 2017 (UTC)

I only noticed it was nom-ed after it closed -https://i.imgur.com/58AXzQe.png^{(talk | contribs)} 01:36, July 18, 2017 (UTC)

• Comment - Tony's version added as replacement 2, I agree it's better -https://i.imgur.com/58AXzQe.png^{(talk | contribs)} 01:36, July 18, 2017 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be replaced with the second version. --Liquid^Talk 00:06, July 22, 2017 (UTC)

Mogre Camp

current
replacement

Previous discussion: Original nomination; first replacement.
Reason: No players, since you can orb things now through h4x. Also bigger and more fish and stuff. And yes, Elf's version was definitely colour-enhanced.

• Support - As nominator. Fswe1 08:29, July 15, 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose - I prefer the zoom on the first image, you can see more of the reef. I also like having the player there, it shows off how unique the area is with players only being able to access it through diving. IsobelJ 16:33, July 17, 2017 (UTC)

Just retook a version more similar to the original with the NXT client, but this area just hasn't aged well to remain featured in my opinion, especially when compared to other areas of the game. Also image is only jpg as I wasn't signed in when I uploaded to imgur. TonyBest100 21:50, July 17, 2017 (UTC)

You can see the walls in the distance, that kind of kills the sense of underwater mystery. :/ Fswe1 07:18, July 18, 2017 (UTC)

• Closed - Image will not be replaced. --Liquid^Talk 00:08, July 22, 2017 (UTC)

Clan Citadel

current
replacement 1
Tony
replacement 2
replacement 3

Previous discussion: Here.
Reason: Per the previous discussion's desires, this has more fancy plinths and statues. Unfortunately I couldn't get them all fully visible because of the banners, but this looks good enough, methinks. Also I took the liberty of enabling bloom and lightning sparks to the portal. I think it looks pretty neat.

• Support - As nominator. Fswe1 13:44, July 14, 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose/shameless plug for RSW citadel - If we're going to feature customization on the statues (that is, not the default portal without statues) we might as well use the clan's citadel. :) --Liquid^Talk 15:02, July 14, 2017 (UTC)

Er...not sure if serious, sorry. I'd say GWD plus a mage is pretty iconic, though. Not to mention pretty. But you're not really opposing because it isn't the wiki's citadel, are you? :d Fswe1 17:40, July 14, 2017 (UTC)

The wiki's GWD layout is better, with Nex in the middle flanked by the 4 other generals. --Liquid^Talk 16:05, July 16, 2017 (UTC)

I'll go retake it then. Maybe. :P But I don't see why the Scrying Pool version isn't better than the original. ;P Fswe1 16:36, July 16, 2017 (UTC)

I've just retaken one from the RSW clan citadel (Entered in as guest since not part of clan), ended up with this result. TonyBest100 16:38, July 16, 2017 (UTC)

• Comment - Added replacement 2 suggestion to the nomination, on Liquid's request. Also, I turned off scenery shadows because they looked out of place. Getting the lightning zaps right was really frustrating... EDIT: Just discovered Tony beat me to it, but I think the new one mimics the old angle better. And the statues have misplaced LD as if made of metal rather than stone in his version too. Just a detail but eh. Fswe1 18:30, July 16, 2017 (UTC)

The problem with yours though is that it's Java, which would mean it'd need retaking anyway due to NXT being the preferred client choice for all images now. TonyBest100 18:45, July 16, 2017 (UTC)

Doesn't really matter, does it? As a rule of thumb, NXT is preferred by policy. If consensus determines a Java version (or blue cheese version for all I care) and everything else is the same, then, well, duh. Fswe1 19:41, July 16, 2017 (UTC)

• Comment - Apparently someone (the suspects are me, Gareth, and Ryan M - I didn't do it and Ryan probably hasn't touched the citadel in years) replaced the Graardor statue with a Kal'gerion statue. I've placed an order for a Graardor statue again to complete the GWD holy pentinity (is that a word?) but unfortunately the order won't go through until the next build tick. :( --Liquid^Talk 15:43, July 17, 2017 (UTC)

Since this has apparently become a Nomination for Liquefaction, would you like it to be retaken with or without bloom and scenery shadows? :P I'd prefer with and without respectively. Fswe1 17:50, July 17, 2017 (UTC)

• shrug* I literally don't care about the presentation of the image, I'm only interested in the subject. --Liquid^Talk 00:21, July 18, 2017 (UTC)

Added. Previous angle was impossible with Graardor though. Weirdest FIMG nomination ever. :P Fswe1 07:45, July 20, 2017 (UTC)

Just attempted to see if I could get one with the original suggested angle but Graardor doesn't really suit that angle, so I also took one with a more centered approach which does show it a bit better. TonyBest100 13:11, July 20, 2017 (UTC)

Can I just say I'm glad Gareth didn't try to troll me by switching the citadel to night? Also thanks you guys, the pictures look great! ^_^ Now go get others to show up and comment so that there can be some kind of consensus rather than a few guys dicking around with too many options. --Liquid^Talk 14:55, July 20, 2017 (UTC)

• Extended by 1 week - As the final proposed option was literally just uploaded. Also, more people need to comment. --Liquid^Talk 00:36, July 21, 2017 (UTC)

• Closed - It's abundantly clear no one cares about this. I guess we'll replace it with the most recent suggestion, which, if I'm not mistaken, is this. If anyone really strongly objects, leave a complaint here. --Liquid^Talk 01:29, July 28, 2017 (UTC)

Necromancer robe top

Current
Replacement

Reason: A bit bigger but most importantly no AA artefacts from rotating, which was bothering me a lot. Tried to get a straight angle with symmetry but it's difficult because the item is tilted. :/

• Support - As nominator. Fswe1 08:59, July 28, 2017 (UTC)

• Liquid made me comment Seaport --Scuzzy Beta 00:55, August 4, 2017 (UTC)
  • Delist both - Per coel --Scuzzy Beta 06:45, August 4, 2017 (UTC)

• Delist both - They don't feel super detailed in the modern (sixth) age, and even with the new one being from the cache it still feels sorta tilted. Coelacanth0794 Talk 01:29, August 4, 2017 (UTC)

Yes, getting the thing any sort of straight is very difficult. Oh, and, this is clearly one of the four best-looking outfits in the entire game, along with war-chief, black ibis and master runecrafter. ;P By the way, it's taken in-game, I dunno how the fancy cache stuff works. Fswe1 06:34, August 4, 2017 (UTC)

• Extended by 1 week - Clearly this has turned from a nomination for replacement into a nomination for delisting. It's only fair to give the delisting discussion its own week. --Liquid^Talk 22:00, August 4, 2017 (UTC)

• Delist image - It's pretty dull https://i.imgur.com/xHR7zpA.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/6encXAo.png 23:42, August 4, 2017 (UTC)

• Delist - Ugly. Haidro ^(talk) 05:22, August 5, 2017 (UTC)

• Delist - Per coel TonyBest100 12:18, August 5, 2017 (UTC)

• Delist - How did this abomination even got in FIMG in first place? http://i.imgur.com/x5sQGus.png  ᚼ 𝕷𝖔𝖗𝖉 𝕸𝖆𝖓𝖕𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖙 ᚼ (t)(c) 20:01, August 6, 2017 (UTC)

Funnily enough this passed a nomination not even 2 months ago. I am still yet to understand what it is FI is supposed to be looking for, but at least people appear to have unanimously decided that this is not an example of it. IsobelJ 20:11, August 6, 2017 (UTC)

I actually supported this nomination but I've kinda grown to find that it isn't actually that nice of an image, the colours are just plain and the only thing that is really interesting about it I guess is the design https://i.imgur.com/xHR7zpA.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/6encXAo.png 12:18, August 7, 2017 (UTC)

• Delist - :barf: - Sparky Kitty the Wikian 20:03, August 6, 2017 (UTC)

• Delist - Feels redundant commenting this, but yeah it's not the nicest --File:General_Khazard_skeletal_chathead.png|20px KelseW aka General Khazard 20:04, August 6, 2017 (UTC)

• Closed - Images will be delisted. --Liquid^Talk 01:01, August 10, 2017 (UTC)

Zemouregal's fort

current
replacement
replacement 2 (new angle)

Reason: Bringing it up to NXT standards for images, along with a new skybox for the area. Only graphics setting lowered is draw distance to High, as Ultra causes an unloaded Ghorrock to appear in the background.

• Support - As nominator TonyBest100 20:46, August 11, 2017 (UTC)
• Supportish - Looks surprisingly good in NXT but the lighting is a bit off, being rather brighter when currently it's got some shades of murky green. That said, looks fairly good, aye. Maybe turn off bloom? Fswe1 08:33, August 12, 2017 (UTC)
• Support - Looks good... angle might be a little off but I think it's fine. Haidro ^(talk) 01:23, August 13, 2017 (UTC)
• Comment - I've added a new replacemnent nomination which changes the angle from the first replacement suggestion in an attempt to fix the angle looking weird. Will be changing my support to replacement 2 as it more closely matches the current FIMG image. TonyBest100 15:50, August 13, 2017 (UTC)

I still prefer the original. Also there's a zombie in the foreground. Fswe1 07:14, August 14, 2017 (UTC)

• Support replacement 2 - I don't think images need to look exactly like the one they're replacing, but I like the bit of purple sky at the top. I also don't see an issue with the zombie. --Iiii I I I 23:16, August 17, 2017 (UTC)
• Closed - I think there's greater consensus around replacement 2, so that will be the replacement image. --Liquid^Talk 03:50, August 18, 2017 (UTC)

Replacement

Previous discussion: Here
Reason: Bigger, included the moon in the skybox.

• Support - As nominator TonyBest100 13:32, September 17, 2017 (UTC)
• Support - I like that you can just about see the abyssal (orb thing?) in the top left too --User:KelseW/Signature 13:35, September 17, 2017 (UTC)
• Support - Nice. - Jr Mime (talk) _[VSTF] 13:56, September 17, 2017 (UTC)
• Support - Bigger and better AA. Shame the Slayer Tower is in the background though; maybe lower draw distance could improve it? Fswe1 15:07, September 17, 2017 (UTC)

Nothing wrong with the tower in the background, it's fine without reducing graphics settings TonyBest100 15:08, September 17, 2017 (UTC)

It detracts from the subject at hand IMO. I didn't say reduce graphics settings, just lower draw distance to remove it (unless that looks terrible). Fswe1 15:10, September 17, 2017 (UTC)

I don't see how it detracts from the subject at hand, which is kind of ironic because you actually nominated the original image for FIMG with the tower in full view, without complaining about it detracting from the subject. TonyBest100 16:12, September 17, 2017 (UTC)

I also never said it ruins the image; it's great regardless, but removing the tower could be an improvement to suggest... Stop making a fuss about it - I'm the Fusswell here :P. Fswe1 06:32, September 18, 2017 (UTC)

• Support - --Iiii I I I 18:29, September 20, 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose - Unlike Kels, I don't like the abyssal orb thingy in the top left. --Liquid^Talk 04:44, September 21, 2017 (UTC)
• Closed - Image will be replaced. --Liquid^Talk 04:52, September 24, 2017 (UTC)

Polypore Dungeon

replacement 1
replacement 2
replacement 3
replacement 4

Previous discussion: here
Reason: Tagged with HTML5, offering 4 pics with different angles in 4K. All set to Ultra. Shadows are like that

• Support 3 - I personally like the 3rd one. It shows a view of the top to the bottom. - Jr Mime (talk) _[VSTF] 03:34, November 4, 2017 (UTC)

• Support 3 - Would also say 3 because there's less black background above it, along with Mime's reasoning. --User:KelseW/Signature 03:37, November 4, 2017 (UTC)

• Meh - I would prefer the current one, the replacements aren't bad but all rather darker. :/ Fswe1 05:47, November 6, 2017 (UTC)

• Support 3 - Per Mime TonyBest100 17:55, November 6, 2017 (UTC)

• Support 4 - Salix of Prifddinas ^(Talk) 13:46, November 10, 2017 (UTC)

• Support 3 or 4 - Either of these are fine with me. User:Myles Prower/Signature 17:50, November 16, 2017 (UTC)

• Closed - Image 3 will be used. --Liquid^Talk 18:02, November 16, 2017 (UTC)

Chaos Elemental

Replacement

Reason: NXT, more accurate particles, bottom not obscured, arms more seperated and visible.

• Oppose Soft support - I’m on phone right now, will check on pc later, but that image seems like it’s missing AA; trans and it’s choppy AF. - Jr Mime (talk) _[VSTF] 12:16, December 11, 2017 (UTC)

I'm offended in that you think I would do those things Cuxrie (talk) 23:33, December 11, 2017 (UTC)

Just checked on PC and it looks perf, but why is it so small :eyes: - Jr Mime (talk) _[VSTF] 02:01, December 12, 2017 (UTC)

Hmmm, how about now, it might have resized a bit when I was uploading it to imgur Cuxrie (talk) 01:18, December 14, 2017 (UTC)
