So much promise, and its being eaten by bugs! Admittedly, many of them are small bugs, but they are swarming all over my poor computer, and making it cry. It seems that the longer I play the game, the worse it runs. Its strange, but when I initially installed, I had no problem running at medium high settings. Now that I have played for several weeks, I have had to reduce several settings, and the game is still hitching every thirty seconds or so. I ran a full defrag (with PerfectDisk 8, not the windows defragmenter) and it did not helped. The amount of time my computer spends accessing the hard drive is insane. I am actually upset, because the game is still fun to play, but it is rapidly approaching the unplayable stage because of the performance issues. Also, I mentioned the leveling slowdown last time, and I wanted to address that. Solo leveling slowed down, but full group leveling is just as fast as before if not faster. It's still possible to solo much of the non dungeon content, but at level 15 its really slowed down. I knew it was a more group oriented game going into it though, so I really can't complain. This is still one of the most beautifully rendered games on the market, but unfortunately it's hard to appreciate when your computer is slowing to a standstill every 30 seconds or so. Oh well, at least its pretty!
