I havn't seen anyone else talking about this, so I don't know if anyone's noticed.

In the bottom right hand corner of the screen (just above the weapon slots default location) there is now a small dot that displays basic tech info when you hover your cursor over it.
It's green when everything is running fine, orange when ping/FPS starts getting a bit iffy, and red (I assume, havn't seen mine go red yet) when things have gone to hell.

Being in Australia mine is almost constantly orange, but what the hey, it's still a cool new feature.

... duh

Of course it is, I'm now able to tell when my connection to Guildwars really has a problem, plus it there to tell you your average ping and FPS which is also a bonus.

We need an interface option for it, though, IMO. because it can get annoying and some people would probably like to relocate it/disable it.

QFT.

At the moment its hidden behind where my Party list (P) is. So I can't see it half the time.

I would like to move it someone where I can see it, but while its part of the interfact, it cannot be moved yet

Hope A.net fixes this.

That's really low. Try turning your graphics settings down a bit.

(just for reference, I'm getting ~70fps @ 1152x864 w/ all graphic options turned up, and ~30fps when I turn on 2x AA)
