Question Title: Can you please change that tower in the distance on Aerlinthe?
Category: Graphics
Question: When you first portal in, you can see a tower in the distance. I've been calling it the great tower of lag.

Basically if I stay in the area more than 10minutes my video card drops to 5 fps and I can barely move. The problem completely solves it self if I move somewhere where It cannot be seen. Can you please do something, like decrease the range in which it is visible to not include the drop in site? Its quite impossible for me to do anything in that entire area.

Answer: What framerate effects are caused by the lighthouse should not be cumulative. If you get lag only after spending time in the area, the problem is not being caused by the lighthouse itself. Whether you've just arrived or have been there an hour, it will require exactly the same memory.
