First off, let me say that I am testing Fiesta on fairly old hardware:
Pentium 4 3.02GHz
512MB RAM
GeForce FX Go 5200 64MB
Windows XP SP2
Twice while testing today, I died and the game hung on the load screen zoning back to town. The first time, I died in Sea of Greed and hung going to Elderine. The second time I died in Forest of Mist and hung going to Roumen. Both times background sounds continued to play, but I never appeared in the towns. Had to quit the game with Alt-F4.
Additionally, I was never able to complete Slime Kindom Quest 3. No matter how many times I participated in the raid, I was never able to get the game to recognize my contributions to killing the King and Queen Slimes. I made sure to do significant damage to both mobs. I eventually hit level 17 and had to forfeit.
Lastly, testing on the above mentioned machine yields very rough gameplay. My network connection is 3mbps cable modem, but the user interface lags significantly often. I can only attribute this to my system specs. I also have tested on a much newer system and I see no such interface problems. Graphic lag in of itself is not that big of a deal, but when the graphics lag, keyboard and mouse controls are non-responsive. On more than one occasion, the graphic lag has caused me to not be able to heal myself and I died. Sometimes I'll even be attacked and killed before my graphics even catch up. If there is some way to allow user controls to get through even if graphics are lagged, it would significantly improve gameplay on older systems.
Thank you, and I have enjoyed testing Fiesta thus far.
