    Two quick things...

    Is it my machine...  Or are the graphics bad?  I cannot read anything on the screen, all blurry...

    And this is during closed beta.  Have things changed for the barbarian?

    I find it incredible that you posted a link to a video shot with the barbarian entirely solo...

    I'm not a big supporter of this game, however, I thought the graphics were very good. The video setting defaults they start you with where not well set (at least for my machine). After I upped all my graphics settings, the game looked great and ran fine.

    That is just because it was compressed on a home copmuter. Software based compression always gets artifacts like that the smaller the bandwidth the greater. Hardware compression also gets artifacts like that, but not as bad and costs a good $5000+ a computer to setup, not many home users have that.
