Looking over what they've been able to do in terms of optimization, it really is looking a lot better. The big fight they showed off looked so smooth it was a different world in terms of performance.
The next update, named Kay, is due before the end of the year. In addition to the performance improvements planned, they will also work on improved Guild vs Guild warfare, a reworked marketplace user interface, better black market drops, they will add in relics and relic level artefacts.
