Was client performance better or worse compared to your TQ experience with the same settings and fleet size? (1=way worse, 5=same, 10=OMG this is awesome) About the same, 5

Did you experience any disconnects or crashes? No crashes or disconnects experienced.

• Average FPS during the fight at the gate in 6-CZ49, zoomed out (brackets / no brackets): 30 brackets
• Average FPS - Zoomed in (brackets / no brackets): 15 brackets
• Was client performance better or worse compared to your TQ experience with the same settings and fleet size? (1=way worse, 5=same, 10=OMG this is awesome) probably the same; I haven't fought in a fleet this size on TQ
• Did you experience any disconnects or crashes? The screen froze once during the first warp to a gate
• Describe your experience, make comments, suggestions, etc.: Couldn't add bounties. I didn't see anything that I could select when I clicked on a player or "show info"
-- sometimes selecting buttons was slow
-- I was not able to fire my missles during the NPC fight
-- Had trouble selecting targets on overview. Overview was slow to scroll.
-- I had fun as usual, and always learn something new.
-- Need more Mass Tests on the weekends for us U.S. TZ pilots! (I was off today for Thanksgiving holiday)

Average FPS during the fight at the gate in 6-CZ49, zoomed out (brackets / no brackets): 2.5/3.0
Average FPS - Zoomed in (brackets / no brackets): 2.0/2.5
Was client performance better or worse compared to your TQ experience with the same settings and fleet size? (1=way worse, 5=same, 10=OMG this is awesome) No comparable experience, but past mass tests have been much better.
Did you experience any disconnects or crashes? No
Describe your experience, make comments, suggestions, etc.: I experienced a tremendous amount of client lag. It first got bad when we were asked to place bounties on other pilots. I only managed to place one before the next part of the test. The FPS dropped to less than 0.1, and at one point the game was frozen for about a minute.

Things were little better in the fights. There were long periods where I had no control, chat would not update, and the game was unplayable.

Market now highlights the 1, when buying, this is what many users expect from a modern userinterface, so very nice !
Ofcause buying 1xx takes some getting used to for older players, but thats a small price to pay :)

The "who damages me most" coloring is very nice.
Thr new round health bars, is not as bad as feared, they are now 3 rings inside each other, so its easy enough to figure out what is hull, armor and shields.

When jumping to the low-sec system, my right click was in the low-sec and my visual was in null-sec, but I guess thats more todo with limited server capacity.

After the mass test I wanted to test safe-logoff, so I had to wait out my PVP timer.
2 times during that timer, it reset to 15minutes, without being in fleet and with noone else on grid(except a offline tower), maybe it was caused by the npc spawn spam.

The scrolling notify text is a nice improvement, hope it also works with the "you cant cloak blabla" messenges, so you have a better chance of seeing when the cloak took effect (since the icon will lag 1-2seconds before showing it).
