1.0 vs ARR Areas - A Visual Comparison

[LisSquid]

I may be going crazy but wasn't there stories circulating during 1.0 where high end PCs were basically burning out and dying due to how hard it was on them? I don't know how true that was but I also remember once my friend's screen going green when some of us were screwing around casting holy and Flare at one time. (Though his pc wasn't the greatest I think.)

I think a lot of people with "high end" pcs were stretching it. If you were zoomed in all the way and had people have a spam Holy Party, it would stutter and lag like it does now - and kick some people off the game. In the albeit short time I played I'd never heard of anyone blue screening/shutting down if their computer was properly set up. You aren't supposed to play on Ultra with a potato - same as now - but some people still do.

Possible I had to play it on lower setting so didn't see it as much
