Played for about an hour or so far. Observations:
1) Game dominates my PC if i max everything on 1900x1200.
2) I can play 1680x1060 with 2xAA and most things high with 40 FPS average, which looks fine. So thats cool.
3) Its a real good thing their stress testing servers ^^ They need it. Crazy hangtime whenever other people are around. hangs for 2-4 seconds every 3-6 seconds.
4) Loading screens lock up quite often, resulting in 5-15 min load screens. And server disconnect 3 or 4 times.
5) Lots and Lots of game freezes/lockups. be it while fighting, or just walking/moving camera. Locks up once every 10-15 min, requiring you to end process and restart ><

Loading screen thing is a bit oddball, i have time to make coffee and lie down for a few between screens. The hangtime whenever a mob is engaged, or other people are around is a bother but expected. Hopefully it'l be cleared by launch, or the final product will be unplayable.
6) DX10 seems to be unfunctional altogether, for myself and quite a few others it seems.

All in all its running as expected, which isn't bad, but not ideal for 3 weeks to launch. I've noticed quite a few graphical glitches as well. But overall I'm pretty pleased with it. looks like they've done a good job. The combat system takes some getting used to and some keys need to be rebinded due to awkward placing but thats natural. ^^

Server just went down for a few. Quick warning. AVOID global chat lol. It reminds me of WoW general chat. your intelligence will drop just from listening. A lot of people whining and crying too. real pain. good thing you can disable it.

hope to see some of you in-game. i havent figured out how to add friends yet lol but character name is Kayla. hit me up if you can.
