The mouse lag made it so immediately I started playing trying not to use the mouse at all. But then the input lag makes it difficult to do that for instance I hit F to go into attack mode, it didn't register, so I hit it again. He stops, pulls out his weapon, then puts it away....

I'm pretty sure I would/will be spending most of my time as a fighting class. The others all seem like secondary side jobs, and the fighting ones are the main jobs. I started a 2nd character to see a different city, and she started as an Armorer, her attack was "throw stone" and did 1 damage. I had to sit there and let the NPC kill the opening enemy, kinda dumb. So yeah, when I get the full game, definitely starting as a melee class. Though, all this lag makes me wonder if it's just my computer, or the fact that it's the Beta. I honestly couldn't play this game if the full version has as much lag as I have experienced. Otherwise, I could see it as a very fun way to pass time and socialize. So if the lag is my computer, I may wait to get the PS3 version.... I have a couple weeks to decide to cancel my pre-order or not at least!

So does everyone think the lag is temporary due to the Beta? Or a more permanent fixture? (I was in the range where it would run fine on my computer with the Benchmark)
