Way too laggy to play now :(

I'm experiencing the following:

delay when activating skills
popping sounds constantly
horrible frame rates
no aura around bosses
cap sig not working


...and all the graphical UI changes are FUGLY!!!
ANet, good job on screwing the pooch with this update.

Let it go, it will be fixed.

1/4 sec delay when activating skills

so they screwed up...another thread about the quality of the update really isnt needed

u can get rid of that annoying popping sound by turning off the background music

I think I'm the only one that actaully likes the new interface, I think it's a bit better than the old one.

Please dont add to the evergrowing flame thread count.

how is it a flame? isn't that a satement of fact that guildwars is laggin for him?

The lag at least is the servers taking a hit from all the downloading. That at least I would think is not a result of an update bug, but a result of the update.

I'm getting ~1/4s delays on all skills I cast also. Something's fudged up :\

skill delay......im having a hard time interupting........

I like it as well. I think its a little easier on the eyes than the old one was. I forsee less eye faatigue after long gaming sessions. It looks good (I think), props to the UI guys.

I've been downloading RA for 5 mins now Hell, i'll probably lag too.

Only thing I dont like is the glaring colors when I watch my opponents skills.

Maybe this is Anet's subtle way of trying to make interupting even harder than before

WORK HARDER YA'LL

*whips the Mesmers/Rangers WOOOPAAH

Got decompression speed problems (hint hint not fixed AN), goto windowed mode. Works faster for some reason.

As for the UI, its bad...really bad. One of the worst ive seen, its ugly, many functions are in opposition to common sense, and its slow. Real slow.

White for when negative effect? The skill casting bar have some bad acid? Whats with all the bad "website from the mid 90s" gradients? Does everything need to be curvey, most GW are not forced to wear mittens and whats with the 1989 Helvetica font on the health bar.

If theyd done a simple recolour from rit blue to say derv brown it would have been fine.

It's what happens when a game gets popular...D2 used to be annoying like this.
