I know this is only a beta, but I checked the game's settings and it was listed as X1XE:True. I really hope there are plans to make the resolution higher, I think 1080p is totally fine, and improve draw distance a lot. I think that's the thing that's really glaring is the draw distance. Grass is rendering to increasing detail right in front of my character and beyond that, about 10 meters away from my character, the ground looks like a muddy texture until you get closer and grass starts to sporadically render until you're standing on it.

I will say that I am impressed with the performance, but I'm wondering if it's performing so well because everything is so cut back. I know the X is capable of a hell of a lot more than what's in the beta, and again, I know this is a beta so I'm expecting the final release to look a lot better. Just want to put this feedback out there in case for some reason improved visuals aren't in the plans. 

XB1X has 4K option in settings but its off by default you need to turn it on then restart the game. Poor draw distance LOD is because CPU is XB1 is not very good sadly...

You cant compare it to single player or survival small MP games. Here there are times when you will have up to a hundred or more players on screen at one time and that uses a lot of CPU resources.

Adding more graphic options like "performance" and "graphic" for both 1080p and 4k would be great. Especially sea details are very bad. I really like to sail and fishing in bdo because sea and view of the islands are beautiful. However on xbox bdo even 10m away from you looks like paper. No wave no detail. This situation is killing the atmosphere. Developers may concern about performance issues in pvp and boss fights but there are solo contents in game as well. 

So please add graphic options in order to if we want to sacrifice fps for atmosphere.
