Fuck I hate this website.


onetime password and captcha bullshit. Then for some unknown reason it decides to not know that my password is correct.


Driving me nuts!! I JUST WANT TO DOWNLOAD YOU GAME!


Edit: Finally get into my account and get the beta registered, and now I cant get into the forum to DL, YAY!!! awesome.....
 
So what's the schedule? Which days will I be able to play it?

For NA, this Test 1 for Phase 3 goes until Sunday. It doesn't list when the next test starts yet but there are other tests for this phase.




I actually would have preferred playing this on PS3, but I'm not sure yet. It really does run considerably worse than the PC was running for me, and I had to pretty much turn all the settings down.
 
I wasn't really liking pugilist until I got to level 6. The ability you learn there really brings it all together so you can go full circle with your abilities, so that's nice. Ul'dah city is really pretty, the surrounding field kinda reminds me of Tahrongi in a not so positive way but it's not like it's ugly or anything.

Fridays and Saturdays for Europe I think.
 
Seems like people is really liking Pugilist, sounds fun.

Also the workaround to not having elemental weaknesses is pretty smart. Thaumaturge looks like could be very interesting.

Same thing that was happening to me lol fuck that website
 
I finally gae up and created a new SE account on another psn account because the "one time pass" wasn't working!
2 hours ! trying to make it work ...and now i have to download 4 gb..
Can anyone post the schedule for the beta ? ( still can't login on the foroms for some reason )
 
Less than 10 minutes left on my install! Can't wait. I didn't play the original version so I don't really know what to expect, but this install screen music has me pumped.
 
I am not sure about the graphics on the PS3 version, they are not bad but they are not good either... I didnt play the PC version though.

Can I play the PC beta even if I received only the PS3 invite? If yes how?

Yes. Just download the PC client, which is linked in the getting started forum on the beta forums.
 
It ran fine after some tweaks in the graphical settings, and it looked much better than this -.-



Hell no.

It did not run fine. It was garbage. I have a 3930k @4.3GHz with 32GB of RAM and a GTX 680. I could not get past 60 FPS in crowded areas.

The graphical fidelity is now HIGHER and I am getting 100 FPS. I'm not sure what you're remembering, but I don't think it's accurate at all.

A console running an MMO is not going to be super pretty. I think its damn impressive its even on a system with 256MB RAM
 
Fuck, I have a SE account from FFXI, but apparently now logging in requires a One-Time Password, in which you need a smartphone for the registration?
I don't have a Smartphone. :(
So I have to buy a $10 keyring to get a 1-time password in order to install the beta?
 
I have a EU (I'm not a 100% sure) PS3 beta code that I can't use. First to quote gets it.
I would love this for my friend but I'm too late.

So my first ever MMO character will be a Miqo'te of the Seekers of the Sun clan and an Archer in Gridania.

I hope I can join you guys.

You don't require the One-Time password unless you activate it in the account settings.

1-time pass authentication is not mandatory, as far as I know.
 
Did they do anything to make combat more interesting than 'mash ability on cooldown'?

I can now answer your question...yes.

They FINALLY put individual cooldowns on the big hitters and some various skills; so while your basic combos are still the crappy 2.5s global cool, you won't be spamming the strongest move all day.

Furthermore, there's combo bonuses again and directional combat (hit an enemy from behind or the sides for bonuses) like 1.23.

I still like 1.23's combat a lot better but...good enough. I'll play it now.

No, I was talking about the original FFXIV. Before Real Reborn.

And agreed, 1.23 smacked ARR down graphically other than the realtime lighting. The art direction is better in ARR, but textures and shaders had to take a huge hit to make it run on dat PSTriple. :(
 
Hmm, anyone else having issues getting your PS3 controller (PC version) to calibrate? It's working in other games, but not in XIV. When it go to Calibrate, it tells me to press up on the analog stick, but nothing happens when I do.
