User:Lania Elderfire/BWE3

I haven't played much for BWE3 so here are some of my observations that were unique for BWE3, and prolly more to come.

• The performance is much improved. The game engine appears to be able to use up to 2 cores on a multicore CPU, which helps with the frame rates a ton. Even at max settings I can get 60 fps quite often. (Core i5 2500 4Ghz, Radeon 6870 HD)

• The animations are slightly better than before and melee is somewhat improved, but still needs work.

• The difficulty of BWE3 is significantly lowered to the point it is almost a joke. Even BWE1 I felt was fairly easy... so yah.

• Balance issues are still not addressed and engineer and mesmer in particular are still quite underpowered, clunky and almost even useless in some cases.

• Vistas are a nice addition for the explore addicts. So now you have waypoints, points of interests, and vistas for exploration XP.

• Silvari feel rushed/grossly unfinished in comparison to the other races. The fact that they look like hippie spring salad doesn't help.

• Rata Sum looks pretty amazing. Pretty lights, panels etc and lots of fun just jumping to your death.
