XIV Open beta August 31st
I love it how you guys are all playing it as if it were the actual game instead of doing what Beta Tests are supposed to be used for, aka, finding all the bugs before release. (happens in every MMO beta and release too)
Fighting with the servers to get a key is annoying. well, more like spamming the thing because key issuing is suspended....SE, we hate you ; ;
im probly gonna get a key on the 21st
Everytime I try to log in to the site, and I see the green 'secure' bar, I get all happy for a split second, then I hit the "no key for you!!11! LULZ!!!" page and get sad again :(
-shrug- it's the first day of open beta. this is to be expected. i just wanna test it out to see if i even wanna keep my pre-order or get my money back XD
i bet if i were to apply as JP tester i'd get a key right away

This system sucks.. Would it really of been too much to ask that everyone currently with a FFXI account could just download the XIV client and login? -.-;;

(happens in every MMO beta and release too) I love it how ppl here think that it will be a completely different game by the time it comes out. Its two weks from release. They arent specifically looking for little system bugs now, their testing their servers with large volumes of ppl and looking for big errors. The game drops in about 2 weeks, this is pretty much what the game will be.

It doesn't necesarily mean that, they usually print the game earlier, they don't include the fixes on the retail, and just force you to patch at release. khane about the guildmarks in the previous beta they came randomly from guildleves usually the lvl 20 ones

It'd have been a smarter way to give out keys if SE gave you a key in an email. be like "You asked to be part of the beta, here's your open beta key, enjoy!"
how's the game play so far. i've been hearing alot of bad things 'bout it lately that just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. so i'm hoping it's exaggerated, or horribly explained >_>; it actually isnt all that bad
i did find large areas with no mobs at all Good game is good.
Call me a white knight or not, I don't particularly care, I'm going to go try out Gridania. Because changing a game is impossible. I mean we also had level sync in FFXI.
There's nothing nearly as bad in XIV as the standard party level system in XI on release. Shiva.Flionheart said: Visually speaking Gridania is the most impressive, followed closely by Ul'dah's architecture. Gridania is definitely the most taxing in terms of GPU load lol. I lag tiny bit in there but its still runs well. I will admit I enjoyed the Gridania opening CS the most though.
SS soon to follow.

For sure it wont have any ground breaking changes such as combat, but the glitches and some performance issues can still be fixed on this period. I think the game is very fun, but I dislike some issues like the mouse pointer and few things on the UI, that might be barable now but as time goes on, it can get annoying. The UI is literally the worst UI ive ever seen in a game

My game just crashed XD Starting in that place made me want to delete the beta. I like forest type places but it was too much like windy lol.
Just outside the Adventurer's Guild in Gridania:

One thing that makes me wonder about the physical level, what if you went full Melee atributes, are you screwed if you switch to a caster? and since reseting only allows you to relocate 3 points per day?

I've never understood why people stating their own opinion always has to be countered with someone telling them to shut up. If he would have siad, "The UI is horrid, no one else should like this game because of it." then that would have been different. |
