So you're saying you'd rather play with ships sliding around on the water and barely able to hit them because of the lag? Personally, I'd rather actually be able to sink the ship at 50% visual perfection than have a lag-unsinkable ship at 100% visual perfection. But that's just me.

I'm sorry that you couldn't see the boxy man-o-war in the picture, but I can, and it looked much better before the update.
Sliding around the water? Even when it's laggy ships don't "slide" on the water. It's more like twitching. And is it really that bad to ask for them to keep it the way it was before the update?
Ships up close look great! However, from far away I think most of us can agree that it looks like a few sticks stuck on a boxy. The sails are completely flat and straight, unlike before the update where from far away they looked fine. There wasn't much lag because they lowered the graphics on ships.
The close you got, the better they looked.
Now... it's either boxy, or great graphics.
Also, it took me a total of seven minutes to log on today. Before the update, it took maybe thirty seconds. It shouldn't take that long.
(I'm running on a windows vista and experience no lag what-so-ever for long periods of times. I don't understand why they downgrade the graphics so there's less lag when better computers with more memory are coming out.)
Not to mention if the panda3D engine itself has a leak, they should FIX THAT, and NOT lower the graphics. This game is beautiful up close but from far away... it's just ugly.
At least, Disney, make it so players can take away the boxy graphics through options so we can CHOOSE whether we want lag or not.(depending on your computer)
Like I said, beautiful game, but Disney keeps making it ugly because they'd rather downgrade graphics than fix a memory leak.(they also think the majority of their players play on a windows 98...)
Off the soap box... again.
