Since I just started a new character from scratch, I haven't gotten to see much of the stuff beyond the lower level areas in Black Shroud...

From what I've seen so far, though...
- Much smoother performance over all.
- UI is much more responsive; immediate in some cases
- Maybe it's just me, but the graphics seem to be "richer", colors seem a bit more vibrant... Seems like they might have improved/optimized the renderer a bit. Anyone else noticing this?
- Can def. tell they increased the draw distance, that harsh transition between low and high quality textures happens farther away than it did... now if they could only make the transition more of a smooth blend than a "hard line"... it would be perfect
- Autoattack is neat... actually different. I'm not used to not having to press 1 over and over lol
- I like where they have the aggro meter, tucked away, not huge and garish but still visible. Very elegant implementation for that.

Haven't had too much time to check more out; I want to hold out on doing any leves or quests 'til they've confirmed that the random crashes are resolved... don't wanna miss out on a cut-scene or fail a leve on account of a DC :-p.
