I don't like the new options for skill transparency, it is not enough. I and many others lag horribly now in Ursus because there is absolutely no way to turn off the flurry of hundreds of flying numbers off anymore. It makes it hard to do decent damage and survive. When there was a simple turn off remote effects, everything went smoothly when you can only see your skills and your numbers.
I used to always think chairs were so boring and wondered why people wasted time collecting them, but now they're becoming more creative and innovative like this.
I wouldn't mind any unscheduled maintenance at all. -_- Gives us time to cool off (people in my alliance are getting really worked up) and time for them to upgrade or fix servers.
Yes, I seriously CANNOT stay in the server for more than 5 minutes without getting kicked. It makes it impossible to kill any Erdas! This update is fun, but the horrible servers are REALLY dampening the experiences.
