Is it worth playing?

Cool. Everything that's been mentioned sounds really promising. Now the only thing I have left to worry about is how to get my laptop up to par (which should've been my first concern). I don't really know anything about graphics cards, but unless I've been researching incorrect information, they're the main source of the game's efficiency when it comes to resolution quality. I've seen that the GPUs recommended by Heavensward are pretty expensive, so I don't really know what to do about that.

Problem with laptops are that you can't upgrade the graphics card / chip. My laptop is 4 years old and runs the game pretty decently on 1080 res with it's not so great Radeon HD 6650M. My 7 year old gaming PC with it's Radeon HD 5850 does a better job though. PC I have settings on normal, laptop on low. But even with low settings the game still looks very nice.
