| Performance has gone through the roof for me too. Still get some annoying load times, the kind where I can start to run around before everything is done loading, but it's not too bad.
I will say, if you're bored with the quests, fucking grind. I hit 9 doing solo stuff and was forced out into the Daytime (gasp) because I couldn't continue the solo until 10. I died literally 10-15 times trying to do various quests, and it was really fucking lame (Barbarian). However, I then find a lvl 11 HoX in that Pict area (past the panthers) and we partner. I just hit 11 after like 10, maybe 15 minutes tops, and I'm only back here because servers are down for patch.
Lotsa loot, lotsa exp, the only real problem was that he was doing about 90% of the damage. His fire breath dominated this shit while I sat there trying in vain to kill them 1 by 1 since my only real AE is god damn Sweep. Anyways, it was entertaining, and has a very Tabula Rasa feel to it, what with the massive AE killing of relatively weak mobs. But ya, solo blows. Fuck solo. Partner with some imba class and have some fun. |
