Differences btween R4 & R5

what noticeable differences are people seeing when playing R5? What do you like best or least about it? Performance and Login issues have greatly improved

 

best : better lighting, compass, combat (!!), performance
worst : took away double tap 'w' to run, not comfortable on trackpad

 

yes it would be great if we could run faster double tap was great they should bring it back again

 

And "permanent" housing.

 

Num Lock turns on auto-run. I'm glad it was changed to a single button, as double-tapping never worked consistently in prior releases.

 

That's great if you're on a desktop keyboard, but I'm on a macbook pro

I don't have a numlock key, and I don't have a 10 key side keyboard either.

double tapping was consistent for me.

 

Same setup here. You can re-map the keys. I put it on ~ Would prefer double tap again, but at least it's still an option.

 

I'm starting to like the conversation window a *little* better. Chat is much more local, and conversing with npc's is more to my taste than before. I'm glad you still need to pay attention to the information & journal to follow on quest leads, key quest information is not offered without you specifically seeking it.
However I'm still finding the focus on the chat window very frustrating. I click on an npc and start typing and I have shortcuts opening and closing windows before I realise what's happening.

 

Num lock, or in the case of people with macs, uh... tough luck, remap it to something else.

I know macs are only like 16 percent of users of this game, but I feel like the devs sometimes with their terminology (eg. "mouse scroll wheel" in an age of multi-touch trackpads and touch screens)

ought to sit in front of a modern machine / keyboard once in a while.

Visions of beige, giant-key coffee-encrusted keyboards complete with integrated 10 key to the right, F keys up to F14, with ancient food particles and tired developers hunched over them,

inevitably connected to some powerhouse alienware machine with a case design straight out of 1999, come to mind

 

Are people really moaning about the choice of remappable keys? Nobody cares about mac users, just be happy you dont get a virus every 5 seconds.

Anyway, pointless things aside, I found the lighting irritating because my it went too dark in the sewers, I could not see at all really and had to play it on my 2nd smaller screen.

Other than that I kind of enjoyed the new skills, obviously very basic.

 

Would like to see better lightning Night happens so fast and can barely sse your character let alone your surroundins Moonlight nights and stars would be Great
