The graphics in the open beta were a little spotty, texture resolutions randomly changing on you. They implemented the closed beta engine or something the other day, it came out looking beautiful and crisp. Some crappier card using peoples were having trouble but that's typical with higher settings, so I didn't see that as a problem.

Getting better and better up until launch

Also, for the priest classes, is the Priest of Mitra really as pitiful at any sort of melee combat like the AoC class description makes him appear to be? I am pretty sure I'd like to play a priest class, but am not sure yet. Any help would be awesome.

It's really hard to say this class or that class is uber because most of the people are in the open beta and that's capped at level 13. From what I've been hearing they will become much cooler later on, and are definately the best group utility tank in the game.

The last patch brought me up from 10fps to 30fps and load times went from 2-5minutes to 10-15sec, very good improvement.

the armor system is different from EQ2 too, it's not just painted onto the model, it's actually put onto the model.

uh you might want to look at that again

Difference between the two is EQs crappy performance was blamed on the fact that it was built using "future technology" and fast foward 4 years we still have ass performance. Guess it was just bad programming. I mean you still have to force SLi support on the dam game and it doesnt do much for you because EQ2 barely uses one GPU yet alone 2.

By contrast AoC uses multiple cores and GPUs already. You can tell the difference. The only thing missing is the optimizations which are coming very soon according to the devs. If those are like this last patch folks will be getting a very good performance boost. As it is my rig was running on high settings at 50-60ish fps. After the path only got better. Can only improve to be honest.

Yeah it's awesome, the gear is actually different gear, not just crap textures painted on crap armor. The textures they put on in RoK were the ugliest shit I've ever seen in my life.
