    lol you are to weak

    yes, the sceen is at that size for them to generalize the resolution for more set enviroment for results. it was so in the pre open beta too, but then they enabled the fullscreen.

    i do however agree, you get lost it's not as apparent as to where you need to go or where you are, and i struggled with this in the beginning. try reading your journal it helps , not sure what the keys are to pan around the map as they have changed too...

    not sure bout the crashes and no cutscenes, haven't had that problem yet. only crash i had so far was mass effect 2 waiting for just after some hard work to crashout /sigh.

    Yea Im a bit impatient, I prefer beta's to be a bit more polished, it was small things like no jumping, the horrible spelling mistakes and so forth that got to me. That and the fact that when you reach a point - i.e. the aether thingy first time round I had no idea what to do, and that is when the game also become so laggy it doesnt open up dialogs or anything. So yar, I mite give it a try when its more polished but for now nope no ways.

    I run in full screen and am fine, had to update my directx tho, the directx that comes with win7 default isint a fully support directx9c so had to update it. do that and change full screen in config and im sure you will be fine.

    This is why you wait for the official product before jumping in and expecting it all to work off the bat.

    MMO's at release are infamous for issues, let alone when they are still beta testing it (even though it is still an open beta). Usually waiting like a month after release is best missing the initial burst of players and issues, but hey, the majority of people lack any semblance patience.

    I am glad this game is not holding your hand like all other MMO's nowadays, all of which basically lead a person by the nose everywhere. I do agree that there can be lack of accessibility in these cases and perhaps this game suffers from it like FFXI did, but either way I won't mind since I am confident this game will offer something different feel compared to the generic moron-mode MMO's out now. It's just you are likely going to have to work for it which is a blessing and a curse depending on the player.
