the beta is pretty good, but i'm having a tough time. the graphics look nice at 1024X768 with all other settings maxed, but it makes the game lag a bit more...and not my comp, but the actual servers. there aren't a lot of ppl on so i don't see why the servers should be lagging, but they do. it takes like a full minute for your spirit to respawn after dying most of the time. i started as a night elf priestess since the quota for night elf hunters was full; this screws me over since most of the quests (at least those that i've done so far) involve killing progressively stronger and larger groups of creatures...something a caster isn't very well suited for. i can't even recall how many times i've died...i made the mistake of wandering into starbreeze village, which is overrun with angry furlborgs, and had to die 20 times to get out. each time you die, your spirit reforms in the nearest village and you have to run to where your body is: or you can pay this bimbo npc 45 XP to resurrect you right there (**** THAT!). so then each death requires an odyssey back to where you died, and when you come back, your are almost dead. so you run ten steps, die again. rinse, wash, repeat

. i've had it crash 3 times, and i've gotten disconnected from the server like 5 times. usually it likes to crash on the completion of a quest. not a big deal. just reopen the game and log back on and you are right back where you left off. the quests, for the most part guide you along a plot path...although there are the occasional 'gopher' quests, but they all yield decent experience. some of them are gay, cause they tell you to kill something that there are 3 different variations of, such as night sabers (tigers). one quest you kill 'young' night sabers, then in another you kill 'mangy' night sabers. they look practically the same on your screen and they are not interchangable for the quests. then there are the 'stalker' night sabers that appear out of nowhere (they have shadowmelding that works in broad daylight too

) and slaughter you. where it gets frustrating is that i was just start to really level up (i'm at 5 now) but now all the creatures gang up on you. so if you attack something...or something attacks you, all the surrounding creatures come over to **** YOU UP. as a priestess, this is especially damning, because if they hit you twice in quick succession, it interrupts your heal spell...i.e. wimpy priestess gets owned in 5 sec.

and of course you don't even have the agility to outrun even the shittiest enemy.

anyway, if anyone has questions, i'll be glad to answer them if i can...i'll post some screenshots later...
