I agree with most of what the above poster said as well. My biggest complaint is the UI. It is horrible at the moment. Having to click and open a menu for ANY action is beyond ridiculous, and its the only thing really annoying me at the moment.
Also I found something hilarious, yesterday when me and a few others were messing around with retainers, the lady who sells them to you can actually get "overwhelmed" if too many people are trying to access her at once and tell you to come back later. LOL while it definitely makes the world more "alive" and "realistic", it can be annoying to have to wait.
And my final complaint is the current bazaar/market ward set up. It is beyond annoying to have to search EVERY SINGLE RETAINER for something. It'd be nice if perhaps when you passed near them what they sold was displayed so you could at least know where to go or perhaps a Auction house, but give some kinda incentive to use the Bazaar such as lower prices or discounts against the auction house. Hopefully I simply couldnt find the auction house but if that is how we'll have to buy things in game, as it is will make it extremely annoying especially since it looks like no npcs sell armor or weapons.
That being said overall I love the game and would purchase it. I am glad they don't hold your hands with glowing trails to NPCs or arrows over their heads. The NPCs actually say" Look at your map its by such and such. I LOVE that.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and it actually felt like a MMO, the same kinda feeling I got from Everquest 1 and 2. A actual live world. Top it off with the graphics, amazing to say the least. For instance when the wind blows, you can see leaves blowing by, bits of debris, it looks like a actual windy day on rolling hills. I can only imagine how gorgeous the desert will be or the dense forests.
I have all settings on high with the exception of shadows on standard and Ambient Occulsion off (because it caused me strangely enough horrible lag, but with it off I was smooth as warm butter, so if you lag, turn that off and it'll help some). The game looks better than Aion, and it is easily the best looking MMO to date hell it looks as good as some single player RPG games, and will probably remain so until something like Blade and Soul comes out.
