I really wanna play AOC. Play and help test. But it feels like every update they make causes my computer to have more and more problems being able to just exist in the world.

My computer meets the minimum specs, a little better than the required in fact (not a lot, but some) and I can't do a single thing. I can't even walk around. When I finally go far away from any other players the fact that i had to set the graphics to the maximum lowest settings meant everything looked absolutely horrible. Unplayable even, and I am someone who sharply criticizes the overuse of that term from others.

I had to save up and make an exception in my budget to buy into the Alpha just to play, there is no way I can afford the upgrades or completely new computer I would need in order to play this game properly.

Really disappointed because I have been waiting for a game like AOC to come out for over a decade.

    They just expanded the servers capabilities so right now they're in a state of trying to get things stable again. If you come back in a week or so maybe even two you'll find it a lot more stable. And this will happen again when they expand the servers further cuz right now that I think it's at 6000 or maybe 5,000 capacity and that's not the limit of where they're trying to push it to.

    My issue is entirely hardware related. Server lag is server lag and it happens. I cant even be in the middle of nowhere with my graphics bottomed out without it performing or looking like absolute trash.

    My issue has nothing to do with how well or poorly the servers are or are not lagging.

    Hard truth but if you can’t afford a system to run this game you may want to consider spending time in a more beneficial capacity.

    I have an assumption of what you mean by this, but since I don't know 100% for sure what you mean, I won't respond on that assumption and instead ask - can you clarify what you mean by this?

    I don't agree.
    I suppose that all games should offer the possibility to run a game smoothly with the lower settings possible.

    I have what they call the recommended specs but I play with a laptop (*) and even with the lower settings the game is not running 100% smoothly for me.
    I can't complain, right now i don't care about graphics.... but I would say, maybe it is a problem with performance?... let's see in the next weeks.

    *Yes, yes, I know what are you thinking.
    By the game release, I am planning to buy a good fixed gaming computer
