Ok, by and large this is the shiznit!!
A few issues to comment on but let me dish out some props first.
(1) Yeah, yeah, the graphics rock, but lets focus on the real update: FRIEND'S LIST EXPANDED TO 200!! Finally, some of nice people who've been kept off my list solely because of space get a spot (mostly DPS because hey, you're easy to find on world chat
- healers always get priority on my friend's list
)
(2) Ok, the graphics kinda rock overall. I'm getting a little choppiness but it seems to improve the longer I'm in an area. Also, you've made it clear that there will be improvements so my minor choppiness seems like it will probably get better.
(3) LMAO at the people stuck in Oceanic.

The one major negative from the new graphics are the way trees look when selected. Are you kidding me? This has to be improved... The outlining is so atrocious I'd consider ditching it if this is what it will look like.
Lemon Tree...

Apple Tree...

Lithistle Tree...

The problem is the green outlining. In general, trees look good but the outlining looks horrendous now. Perhaps ditch the green outline altogether and give the tree a subtle glow when selected.

The issue with those trees makes sense though, because the polygon draw table is not always the same with the new camera angles. It looks as if it's just using a general draw box. I don't think it's a major issue though, it's not exactly rendering the game unplayable. Some people are still having issues even launching the game client.

And getting online isn't a major issue compared to what's happening in Ferguson or Gaza, but at some point I think this needs to be corrected. It looks jenky compared to otherwise brilliant graphics.

WOW guys, My first impression is *^*( NICE...
SO i will be polite : very good work.
My first impression as I am getting out of The Dunkrd tavern and get into the city was a little feel of Lord of Th Ring Online game. OK I know the LOTR as more detail but you have to pay to play it decently.
Good job team and congratulation.
Very good step done. Hope it will attract players.

Greetings y'all!
First of all, I'd like to congratulate Hunted Cow for such a good update!
I do have some few questions though, while the lag has been reduced for me significantly and FPS increased significantly as well, I noticed that when moving the camera angle so that I can see a far distance in front of me it begins to increase the lag too much. Not sure but maybe it hasn't been completely optimized yet??
I'm running the game on an Intel Core 2 Quad q9650 3.0ghz, Nvidia GTX 680 2GB RAM DDR5. I run lots of games with more graphic intensity and I don't even lag so I'm just wondering what could be causing the lags when I pan the camera angle at a full 3rd person angle.
Other than that, it's really a good update. Changes are noticeable from the moment of logging into the game.
More power to Hunted Cow Games!!!

I'm having problems logging on to the new client. Also, the Mac client still doesn't work for me and I just re-downloaded that today.

Yeah, stuck in Oceanic, like a whole bunch of others xD.
What I can see of the new graphics I love them. It's kinda weird at the start, but when I just switched back to the old one, I really missed the incredible viewing angle of the newest update. Just one thing. The game freezes when I try to use other tabs in my browser - e.g. to check the forum.

I played game in both browser and client, but it freezes the game after few intervals especially in Eldevin City, Moreover it loads partitions within EC several times.
I have to reopen browser or restart client to get back to game.

For now, you can run the game in safe mode. Client safe mode is located in the install directory; web safe mode is in this link somewhere...

Ullr - Ranger - lvl 32
Thud - Warrior - lvl 16
Payn - Templar - lvl 16
Jinx - Mage - lvl 10

I have tried both 64bit and 32bit versions of the client, but I still get eternally stuck at executing the core (Black screen of death).
In Chrome, I can only load in safe mode, otherwise it never gets past the black screen.
In Firefox, the game finally loaded after several attempts. I had to click on a red 'x' in the upper left to reload some part of java (sorry, I did not write it down...)
Here is the system information from the diagnostic tool:
Bryn - Prophet - lvl 45
Ullr - Ranger - lvl 32
Thud - Warrior - lvl 16
Payn - Templar - lvl 16
Jinx - Mage - lvl 10

We're uploading a new build, the game servers will be restarted shortly. We're hopeful this will fix a number of issues.
