Sometimes in the new area when I look at the big burning ship or even face the direction of the ship, the frames go way down. Is this caused by the smoke? Is it just because beta? Will anything be done about it? Sometimes this happens around other areas in the game and it always seems to be the smoke effects (crafting area in Lion’s Arch is a big one).
