Anyone playing this? I'm running it through boot camp and have all the settings about on a medium to get a decent frame rate.
The game has been fairly boring in the low levels, but I'm flying through them and hoping that the PVP is as fun as promised. I did enjoy Rift's open world PVP before it was destroyed by completely removing the opposing factions and making everyone buddies.
There's two things that worry me though and one more so than the other. The first and least concerning is the lack of in game macroing. Rift had this and it was almost required for some classes and the amount of skills you had to use was nuts. I'm about level 16-17 and so far there are a lot of skills, but not as many as Rift. The lack of a macro feature makes it difficult to play a game like this when you have more skills than hotkeys you can use. The second is the lag. I'm hoping the game catches up to the populace at some point. Launch day there were over 5k queues on the servers and now I'm not experiencing any (I didn't actually wait in line that long but some people were reporting over 10 hour waits) kind of queue but lag is very prevalent and I know it's not my internet connection. Very often I'll use a skill and it will be 2-3 seconds before it's actually used. This will kill you in PVP.
So other than it just being a mediocre MMO, I'm hoping the end game PVP picks up and the lag gets sorted out.

Right now, I'm allowing myself to play one MMO very casually, that Elder Scrolls Online. It's got beautiful open landscapes and reminds me of previous Elder Scrolls games. I'm enjoying it for now.
