(Arc) Arc feedback

If there is a thread on this, Im sorry. I did a search but the search function does not like 3 character searches.

I use Arc from time to time. I have not noticed a difference in game play, which is nice. And I still have the ability to start my games the old fashion way with short cuts on my desktop which I like. I do not have any friends on ARC or Core Connect, so I do not use the chat functions nor do I care for them. It seems to me to interupt game play if I have to keep pressing Shift-Tab and bringing ARC to the foreground to say something or check a message. I dont know how hard it would be if you going to combine your games with ARC, when a message comes through, have it pop up in game play like the IM's in game.

I do have problems with the browser that is being used. Whether Im in game or just using ARC, the browser takes for ever to load and even longer to get to the site that I have requested, like trying to get zen. Its faster for me to use my regular browser to do this. Just to navigate pwi.perfectworld.com is a pain through ARC. Also, in my opinion, the web browser that is used in ARC should be limited to your servers only. Im sure you guys are very good programmers, but I do not think you keep yourselves up to date on the latest security issues regarding browsers and it can be dangerous if thrown to another site, whether from a link in your webserver or someone actually enters a new address in the address bar and hits go.

But so far other than the browser, it is pretty nice. I have yet to notice slower downloads when compared to using torrents. I also feel a little more secure knowing the game is coming from the server that is owned and operated by Perfect World and not something that has the possibility of being manipulated before its placed in circulation by unknown people.

And lastly, you guys are asking for feed back, but I did not see where to send the feed back. I could email directly, but I would like to see a forum thread put up for this so others can read it and add their 2 cents. Maybe reading it as a group can work out issues and make this even better.

Looking at its current incarnation, it looks too much like Steam.
If I want to use steam, I would use steam, and on occasion, I do use steam with pwi.
