I've been playing the trial recently, and I for one will definitely not be signing on.
The ideas and mechanics are great from what I've seen.
The varied classes, and interesting mechanics are a very nice
change from the monotony that plagues most MMOs.
However, some core issues with the engine will be keeping me away.
The animations are jagged and sometimes look like a slideshow, especially
when viewing an enemy in the RvR areas.
The distance rendering is also pretty horrible, even with higher settings.
And the ridiculous lag whenever 5 or more characters are in a brawl is ridiculous.
I am not blaming the game for a bad connection, my connection is amazing
and I've had no issues like this from any other MMOs other than some issues with
AoC.
There is a great game hidden under all these technical issues, and it really is a shame
that this game will be going the way of the dodo.
Much like HGL and AoC, games with great innovations and enjoyable gameplay can
easily be destroyed by some core flaws.
You need a better computer.
