    would be nice if could make: /camp newchar
    log out that char and swap to new automatically

    so it would automatically switch servers if your other character was on a different server? Or it would not work on different servers? Sounds like a mess

    why would you think it would switch servers?
    This would simply log your current character and log in 'newchar' on the same server.
    Just skips showing the character select screen.

    I would think it would be something like

    /camp <char> camps to a character on the same server
    /camp <server> camps to the character select screen on a given server

    If this could work it would be useful for people who needs to switch between alts for various reasons.

    It would be for switching characters on the same server. For instance, I may have an account with a druid and enc that I use to buff a character on my other account. It would save the step of having to pick the next char from character select. So if I'm logged into my druid and want to switch to the enchanter on the same account, I could run "/camp fast switchto=Myenc". Obviously it's not a gamebreaking hassle to pick the char from character select, but it would be a nice convenience having it all in one command.

    Per Cairbrae a fix for the default device crash bug should be in this patch. I don't see a note though.

    I haven't logged on test or beta since the patch, did you change the color of the casting bar too? It wasn't right on beta.

    So will the reset device crash bug be added?

    Unfortunately, it's been rescheduled. The Live client is still running DX9 and we're working on its device reset issue separately from DX11.

    If/When DX11 goes 'live' can we have the option to keep using DX9 so maybe we can still play while all the DX11 bugs get worked on?

    DX 12 on my system, and have loads of issues on beta since DX11 was incorporated into that server. Have we finally reached the point where a new computer makes it difficult to load/play this game?

    DX11 was launched in Oct of 2009.

    Honestly, why don't they aim for DX12? All the DXs are backwards compatible.

    Because while people with 12 can run 11 no issue, people with 11 can't run 12.

    The direct x on your system is dictated by your graphics card drivers. While you can have directx 12 installed on your machine unless the driver supports it its not going to do a heck of a lot.
