I really don't see why benchmark isn't out yet though...Wasn't it finished a while ago? it should have been

Final checks were still being conducted iirc.

That doesn't make sense; then Legacy people won't know if they can run the game smoothly until it actually starts, then benchmark wont even be necessary to begin with.
Ofc Legacy people played in 1.0, so if you could play it well there, you can play it well now too...probably; but regardless, bench should be out already

Hnnng...! Working as an illustrator in an office, and sitting in front of the monitor all day... I keep checking Lodestone for info every 20 min or so. T_T Sad? Perhaps. Worth it the moment beta-info pops up? Definetly.

ah come on.. the benchmark is not really for people who wonder if ARR is going to run smoothly on their pc.. its more for fun.. and publicity for people who arent participating in beta.

and nothin more..

the new engine is better for lower running systems.. thats why they introduced the new graphics engine.. and for ps3. so when you could run 1.0. you easily can run 2.0. also the same way.

I imagine the benchmark to be released with the beta codes. So that people can see their rating while they wait for the servers go online. I think they will give us the beta codes 2 or 3 days before they start the beta. Everyone just remember that phase 1 and 2 aren't 24 hour long test. I think it will at most be 5-8 hours each day.
