Beta Day!! The Lag is Real
So, the lag is pretty bad, at least for me on this lovely beta day. But I did manage to get a few screenshots for first thoughts before the game kicked me out. As with any beta, I stared with the new character experience since the copy character is not really working right now. You have to do a couple of quests on the boat and then you get the option to do the Exiles Reach zone or go to Housing. I tried go to housing but I think it is bugged right now as it made me do the zone. But that's okay. That is what beta is about. Though I don't see any change from the previous experience. Along the way, I realized that there is a cool new enhancement that shows you the difference between your equipped gear an a new piece only by mousing over an item. Its little thing but less clicks. When I finally made it to the housing zone, I just bought any plot available. It's not like we get to keep it. You can do a decor tutorial or jump right in and start designing. That is where the lag boss beat me. I am currently fighting the loading boss. I'll try to get some video when the server is more stable.
