I've been liking posts in this and similar threads for weeks now, but just to add my support, the AOE delay is truly ridiculous. I have my graphics to the lowest setting and then went in an disabled some additional effects, enabled unlimited frame rates, have my camera out at max etc. and while I did notice things rendering faster it does not change the fact that by the time some AOEs such as the WP Keeper AOE or Weight of the Land appear, if they are centered on you its all ready too late to get clear. Yes, I can premove and memorize rotation's, but having to do that amount of work for a video game such as memorizing the 30+ steps to titan choreography is not fun. When I want to learn choreography I take dance classes and as a bonus my dance teacher never throws me off a cliff when I mess up. There is so much I like about this game, but its not going to be enough to hold my attention past my current 6 month sub if endgame is not a part of it.
