  Thats a pretty unfair statement considering the scope and size of the game. I'm not giving Sigil a pass either. There are issues that need to be addresed yesterday, but they arent game breakers.

  Actually my comment was going to be, is the game running any more stable yet.  My included month almost made me bald from pulling my hair out from the frequent crashes, bad concepts, and just  plain annoyances there were at launch.  While I'd love to be able to play the Vanguard properly, I have to agree with the comment on its coding (for now at least).  Maybe I'll use one of my buddy codes in a month or two to see how the stability is coming on.

  I am not totaly sure how much crashing issues have been fixed all around.. but to be honest I have been playing again quite a bit the last two weeks or so (got busy for the two or three weeks before so had been sort of taking a break) and I have crashed out of the game once.. and that was when i was minizmizing the screen every other second and opening multiple windows in the background.  And it has been running quite smooth, except in areas like khal, panthor zhi.. i get occasionaly jumps but can still get to places fine, just occasional bumps.  In most huntings areas its quite smooth unless in a large group, than i generaly turn down graphics a little bit. 

  Have graphics pretty high (looks really pretty) when soloing and turn down grass. tree detail few things when i get in a group if need be.  Have a 7900 GT card, 1.5gb of RAM and 4ghz processor.. so a good machine but not great.  I am not sure about high high end content because my highest toon is 28, but finding groups in the right places havent been bad and i have been having alot of fun.. and even when starting alts there are quite a few lower lvs out there still.

  Agreed, I posted some rants about Vanguard as well, mostly due to crashing, performance issues and such. This latest patch (the 18th) has made a huge differance for my rig in performance. I can run ultra high settings and get avg 25fps, but have dropped to med-high and get 35fps in open vista's with max farclip and alot of stuff turned up. I gotta say the result isnt bad, in fact I'm pretty impressed with the depth of field turned all the way up and everything on. I still hate that coverage map over everything, but what-can-ya-do. Slowly I think Vangaurd is growing on me. And the new shadowhound mount is gonna be sexy under my dreadknight.
