So..to those of you saying the PS3 WAS NOT going to limit this game.

• Zone size
• Texture resolution
• Character creation options
• Inventory layout
• Armor and weapon model variety
• UI Scaling
• Overuse of instancing

wrong on all counts, this was done because too many PC players complained about massive lag due to the high spec requirements of 1.0 not because of the PS3

sad that so many do not see this as the real reason, and still think it was because of the PS3...... as someone who was in the alpha/beta of 1.0.... it was bad..... really bad, but of course no one listened, and we got 1.0 ;p

I had 1.0 I could barely play it. the zones were just too big causing massive lag. even on minimal settings.
you people who have convinced yourselves that the PS3 is the reason this game has things dumbed down need to do some research, when a decent spec PC can barely run a game that a company wants the masses to use you will see changes to make it possible for more PCs to use it.

You must be joking, because they have specifically said memory limitations on the PS3 have prevented them from adding many things, from a better and much bigger inventory system to animations and emotes among many other things.

The graphical downgrade was also done in order to accommodate PS3 users, etc. etc.

PS > And by the way, most 1.0 players complained about the horrible optimization of the game, not about the "high" specs requirement.

Wrong, this was due to inefficiency with the original engine, and a huge part of the reason for redoing the entire game was that there was pretty much no way to get the PS3 version running acceptably with the original engine (that and poorly done network/server architecture the game launched with).
