just asking when the devs will work on that, playing on system that is much better than recommended requirements and my fps sucks hard in LOW details while other games with much higher requirements run flawless in atleast medium.

And this game is not even PC heavy, broadband wise, if you have a 300kb connection u can run it fine, i tested while i was downloading a torrent and keep increasing the torrent BB usage, and with 300 kb wich means a simple 30kb DL speed, u can run neverwinter and get no server lag, less than 30 kb dl speed game start sttutering.
I get no FPS loss. no lag when am on enclave or a good fight with lots of special effects.
not even a 1 year old pc is too old for game that doesnt even require as much as new tomb raider that run flawless for me
and if u dont believe me heres my config and speed test:
Operating System: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit (6.2, Build 9200) (9200.win8_rtm.120725-1247)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Name: NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M

There are plenty of 1 year old PC's that are complete garbage. Just sayin.
BOOM!
Its true, unless you go out and buy the pieces yourself and make/build your own rigg, you will always have a sub standard pc and you will pay much more also, for the fee you are giving a retailer to give you an already premade rigg, you could have added an extra HD or RAM, average 20 inch monitor, and sometimes even a brand new videocard.
also i could play normally on 'looks good' graphics in the first 1-2 weeks after beta came out, after that im bound to doing everything in game with LOW-LOW
lucky you!
Hope this helps.

1) Quit downloading the prawn.
2) My budget computer that's running on 5+ year old technology runs Neverwinter just fine with no FPS issues.
3) Perform maintenance on your PC, sounds like you might have a ton of bloatware/malware/etc.
People just don't rush to talk about their performance issues being resolved. People tend to post when something goes wrong but they rarely post when matters are resolved.
Also there are a lot of people who buy computers and don't know what they are looking for...
And when they go to shops that "sell computers" they really don't try to point out that something might not be what you are looking for. The industry naming conventions don't help either!
I can't begin to tell you how many times friends and co-workers of mine who were looking to get a computer would come up to me with some deal out of the catalog and ask if it was a good deal. 9/10 times I would tell them it was utter trash made to sound better than it is.
I'll try to keep this short rather than bore you with jargan. Here's two things stores don't assist computer shoppers with:
1) They don't tell you what graphics card the computer runs
-Chances are if they don't it integrated graphics which even though they are improving are still a horrid system which will likely be able to handle low graphics...and still be slow
-They don't check to see if you will be doing anything graphics heavy before you purchase a cheap computer
2) They don't inform you that the number values have been useless since Pentium 4. A 2Gb Cache Graphics Card from five years ago isn't anywhere near as good as a 1 Gb Cache Graphics card from last year. A 2.7 Ghz 6 core processor is better than a 3.3 Ghz Core2Duo.
The best thing you can ever do when buying a computer is drag somebody who knows what to look for before buying a computer. If you see a computer that looks awesome for $300 then chances are it's actually scrap metal for anything beyond browsing the web or typing documents. A bare minimum game Graphics Card will cost you roughly a hundred dollars alone.
Best thing you can do is post your computer specs and we can see exactly what type of computer you are running. If you are judging computer quality based on age, though, it really is a red flag for those of us with computer experience that you likely have a store bought and underpowered computer.
I have 2 pcs I run NWO on.
one is a 4-5 yr old Core2Duo 3.0Ghz - single threaded (2 cores) with a Geforce 275 GTX, about 3 yrs old I guess. this one runs NWO on high (not max) settings at 1280x1024 (non wide) at 50-60fps pretty much anywhere outside of Protector's, which has, let's just say "performance issues".
my other pc is an i7 950 - 3.2Ghz (max), this is a quad core with HT (8 virtual cores) and a new Geforce 650 Ti - this baby runs NWO on max-max settings 1920x1200 wide at 60+fps everywhere except Enclave where I can just barely get it to dip under 60hz, like say during the beta invasion event. this computer isn't really anywhere near high-end (cpu is 2-3 yrs old? video card is new but far from high end, and not SLI etc..)
NWO really isn't that demanding, you're trying to play it on a mid-range gaming laptop (being generous), got to expect mid-range performance.
IMHO, this is due to NW doing a CPU bottle-necking and little or no GPU usage. In my case CPU usage never climbs above 50% and GPU usage is super sporadic, languishing at 0%, then "spiking" to 60% or so during FPS loss. Its as if NW is deliberately trying to use a non-existent on-board graphics card instead of the dedicated one.
Tech "support" forums are filled with people with this issue. Here's the link http://techsupport.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=19551 to people's dxdiag that have this issue, mine is post #55 on page 6.
I've tried every single suggestion in those forums including, but not limited to, full game re-install, run as admin, compatibility mode, all driver updates etc. If you take the time to review the systems in the above thread you'll see that this is a Cryptic issue that they need to fix with their game, lets not pretend otherwise.
no1 pay attention to this topic, posted around week ago in here, nothing only other players complaints =]
I was in the epic dungeon spellplague caverns last night and our control wizard would use his ice spell to slow/stun mobs but, it would start to lag my system in some areas. There are 2 or 3 drop off points that you take a glowing light down to reach the bottom (ususaly before a boss). If I was faceing the drop off point along with the wizard casting, my fps would go from 40fps to 3-5 fps. This slow framerate happend about 5 times durring our dungeon run. Please let me know if you need any information to get this framerate bug fixed. (cryptic devs)
Every other high end graphic game I play works smoothly. (batman arkum, latest tombraider, metro last night, etc.. ) I'll list my specs below.
Intell I7-960 black 3.2 ghz
Gigabite 58x ud3r (rev 2.0) latest bios
6 gb corsair vengence @ 1600 mhz
2 SLI Nvidia 580's with latest drivers
2 SSD (180gb , 60gb)
1 HD (2tb , WD 7500 rpm)
Windows 7 professional (latest patches)
Resolution 1920X1080 windowed mode running Direct X 9 neverwinter
Tombraider 2013 benchmark is avg 60 fps at 1920x1080 , not sure why neverwinter would kill my FPS if I get good framerates in higher end graphic games. And NO its not my system laging because of malware, viruses, fragmented drive, etc... so no trolls plz.
Thanks
