No, this isn't about the prices of Punch & Vise.(Although, they are very high)
This is about...
The graphics.
Yes, the graphics.
Wut about the Graphics?
I...can't see my Knight, except his Helmet & Shield. Did the Graphics become better? Because, I have a [crappy] comp & I couldn't see much then, but now, I can't see ANYTHING. I can't see the Strangers, except their arms, I can't see the Alchemy Machines, except the Glow, nothing. They just made the game Un-Playable to me, until I get a new comp. Can't do anything, but Trade & Sell items I craft for now. OOO I am very ;( Hopefully, I'll get another Comp & continue to play your awesome game, but until then, I'll be sitting near the AH, selling my wares to other Knights.
(I was also hoping to trade my Spine Cone, Bristling Buckler, & 500Cr for a Static Capacitor, but I dun haz the CE to Un-Bind. Very ;(, OOO, very ;()
That's weird. For me everything runs MUCH better now, so smoother than before. I'm sure there is a workaround for your problem, move this to tech support section and someone may help you.
