I was wondering what improvements and fixes the devs have made since open beta. Have performance issues been resolved and bugs fixed?

I tried to make a vote for it, don't know hoe legit it will be or so. And there haven't been that much voting done yet anyway :D

But I'm running with FPS 30-40 in towns where there is alot of peoples running. With high settings and windowed mode. For me it was a clear performance gain. Seen some rubberbanding which I did not experience during the beta. Maybe the rubberbanding is due to starter places being crowded at the moment. (Even starter areas marked as low yesterday was crowded.)

I'd dare to say that pop status is broken. No way all starting areas had low pop yesterday.

I don't want to start out rude :D But let me be sarcastic.

No way that I said all starter areas had low population.

There was a few of them marked as low, with most of them marked as full for me at the time I finished the tutorials. And those marked as full had more people at them. But ofcourse I could not check every single one of them I wanted to play the game aswell.

Ouh graphics aren't improved i know that for one:P I hate the graphics so much , i love the content  , backstory , quests , everything but graphics destroy the gameplay/animations everything i wish they changed them;P

Graphics do not make a game though, besides graphics are not that bad, they are comparable to most MMO's just not the latest and greatest.

To answer the OP while i like the game and will continue to play it seems to me that the game has gotten worse from what it was in OB,  I crashed about every 30 minutes last night,(hardly did in beta),  mobs & players teleporting,  When dismounting from my horse i'd be teleported far accross the terrain in a different direction(fast travel maybe? :)).  Animation issues such as being stuck in the T-Pose position etc,   although i think the majority of these are contributed towards the large amount of people around at once.

woot r u talking about m8 xD it may have the worst graphics around atm  i mean there are A LOT of f2p mmos that have better graphics ( im not saying they are better games ) this game won't survive 1 or 2 years  ( if it goes well on release ofc and it aint an other fail ) i just dont understand why they put such graphics , didnt have enough money to invest or what?:S

Too bad to hear about the lack of om improvements in the graphics and animations since CB.

Of the two, animations killed immersion the most for me. Graphics isn't everything, but after all, computer games are a visual experience as well. When my toon moves like a drunk Boris Jeltsin I have a hard time getting drawn in to the game.

The game has a lot of depth, especially within crafting, and the community was mostly great. I have been looking for a futuristic mmorpg for a while, and I had hoped FE was going to be it...

Graphics will not make a game fail, some of us don't care about it, besides graphics is all about opinion while i think FE graphics are better than most just because they are more realistic and not all cute and rainbow colored as most of these cookie cutter mmos out there.  What really draws me to FE is the complexity the game has to offer and the potential it has,  there is nothing there to hold your hand which will offend alot of the newer mmo players., it has the feel of Eve Online when it was first released to me and if it follows the same path as it did then i'd be happy.

it's stupid for people to say when they don't like a game or something that it will only last so long, these people are never right for the most part, everyone said AOC would be dead at the 6month mark well it is still running and profitable, everyone said Vanguard would be dead by now well it is still running and profitable,  everyone said eve would be dead will it has grown by leaps and bound since this prediction was made, everyone said DNL would be dead oh wait they were right on that one :).  My point being doomsday posts most of the time never come to be truth/fact.  People just like to be drama queens and make themselves look like a fool

i agree about graphics as they could be better, but i think the animations have a realistic feel to them so i don't get what some see is bad about them other than the bugs that are with 'em sometimes.

I'm pretty sure we are playing the same version as the last OB. I tried to find a difference. My fps are still the same 30-50fps on max settings (shadows off.)  No change there.

I'm not seeing any crappy graphics. Perhaps its time for a computer upgrade?

I dont understand.  I thought the grapics were fairly decent in FE for an MMO.  Do you not like the art style?  For example:  WAR and WOW, I really hate their art, but the graphics are ok mediocre at best IMO.

Also, for all you graphics hounds....

If graphics were the one thing that keeps a game interesting and thriving; AoC would be the best MMO right now.

You guys dont know what good animations are, it seems.

Well, Mrbloodworth, I tend to agree with you here.

I think there's a huge difference between animations that are standstill (like dancing/sitting) compared to animations that happen while controlling your character (like running animations / attacking while moving).

Ive seen a video involving a Boss that literally walks up a ramp sideways and takes a silly swipe at you and it looks awkward

That's simply an issue with the blend system.

So to get back on track, performance issues are still hampering FPS. How about bugs, is the game mostly bug and hitch free?

As a side note, I really dont give a flying rats penis about any predictions on how long this game will last
