I'm getting instant disconnects when trying to join a channel in the East server, and the game just hangs when I try to join a channel in the West server.
Great. =|

The instant disconnects on US-East seem to be a function of load, all the channels are pretty much stuffed, more than the yellow indicators would suggest. I just bounce around trying different channels until I luck into a slot.
Well, the servers should be up. If you have an account then right now it should just be a matter of getting in and not getting disconnected.

Okay, thanks!
If it's so stuffed though then I think I'll wait until late at night to play it. Hopefully it'll be slightly better then. Just remembered I need to go read something for class anyways.

Ended up joining the west server. Made a F. Fighter named EtherStrike. I had trouble getting into a channel until I selected a trade channel. That seems to not be as full.

Thanks, this is exactly what i'm looking for.
So the way i'm interpreting this is that every class is viable in a way which is nice to hear.
What does an endgame party setup look like?
I can imagine that one slot is used for a Crusader but what about the other slots? Is any class fine as long as you have good gear and are a good player or are there some classes that will never be accepted in an endgame party?

Yeah, I found that out. Managed to find a not-full channel and even made a new character. All these quests, goddamn!

Every class nowadays is good enough to play since the way balance works, generally, in this game is to buff instead of nerf. Everyone gets a turn. While some classes are more desired over others for dungeons, you aren't locked out of a place, it'll just take a bit more effort on the player's part to deal with the shortcomings of their class for that dungeon. Plus with free skill resets, you can customize your build to fit the dungeon, like making a magic battle mage instead of physical to stay at a safe range instead of melee.
Ah 'sader, they are always highly desired but not required, they can easily cutting a run's time in half. After that, you want any classes with a strong ability to hold or move monsters around. After that, whatever is currently the best at jamming the damage in. You can always sub a f.nen master instead of a 'sader if you can't get one.
I found f.brawlers were pretty good overall as they have a ton of tools and enough damage to deal with most things for many places. I think the classes that has the toughest time in end game places are Battle mages a bit and mostly summoner. Summoner are great in non-otherverse dungeons since they're straight forward but start to run into a few problems in ancient dungeons, nothing a bit of planning can't fix. Otherverse is a totally new can of worms that required extra skills, that didn't exist at the time otherverse came out, for Summoners to even be able to function at an extremely basic level there. Monks have a tough life as well some times but they got some grouping abilities along with grabs and other skills to move around monsters as needed while still providing decent damage.
Yeah, swapped channels, got screwed out of playing till they fix the servers again.
Sweet, may have to get on later.
Yeah, I remember Saders and Grapplers being pretty handy.
Had a old Support Sader back in the day that was pretty good to play.
Also a M.Grappler where it was just running into enemies and flipping the hell outta them.
I also remember running old OV with a Summoner...some rooms weren't fun, and of course, if you didn't know how to manage your summons, it quickly became a wipe.

all pre class advance quests yes
You'll unlock more
Saders are actually so well desired and doted on that they're called a literal God tier in DnF. In pre-nerf anton they outnumbered everyone by ridiculous (by comparison because Anton is such a ridiculous endgame) numbers. Everyone should have a pocket crusader.
West server is offline:
People were saying you could only make two a day, but I made three yesterday.
--------
Yeah, discovered that with my second char =)
People were saying you could only make two a day, but I made three yesterday.
By the way, it took a while to confirm because it wasn't until later in the afternoon that I could finally connect to West briefly, but characters ARE server-specific (but, oddly enough, it seems like once a name is taken, it's taken for both servers), and from people I've talked to, Alpha test characters are all (or mostly?) on East.
Has anyone got an alpha character on West? When I logged in yesterday I tried to connect to West and couldn't so I tried East and my alpha characters were all there and I wasn't asked what server I wanted them on, so I'm not sure if they just put them all on East or if they showed up there because it was the first server I connected to.

I think it's two per server. Yesterday I made 1 on west and 2 on east and then the button disabled on east and I couldn't make another. This morning it was enabled again.

So about that NeoGAF guild...
Apparently the 24-hour period for character creation doesn't reset at the same time FP does, which is...weird.

I was thinking about making another one, but isn't the Beta period shorter than the Alpha this time around? Wasn't sure if it was worth it. Of course, if anyone still wants to make it and you've got the dough, then go for it lol

How rare are the Life Tokens? Should I use them or hang on to them? I just reached the Forbidden Forest and its kicking my ass

Events here and there will give out life tokens, so as long as you aren't chugging them down like water, you should be fine. You'll want a big stash of life tokens for later dungeons. Unless it was changed, you are given 3 life tokens to use every day that the game should use first before your reserves.

Haven't played yet but what happened to Behemoth?
Behemoth's back but it's worse than before. This time it's underwater with the most annoying assortment of cultists and aquatic creatures that will murder your patience

Notes for this morning's maintenance
Gonna have to see if I really can recover my archmage on West. Server down atm so I'll see what happens later today when I have a chance.
Also, maybe the title should be changed to [Beta Test] instead of alpha now?

Can I play this from EU? Is there lag?
Yeah you can play from EU. I think the game changes to peer to peer when running dungeons, so lag there depends on where your party members are from.

The author of this thread is currently banned, making it a challenge to get the OP all updated.
So a new thread would likely be better and I think this OBT justifies a new thread anyways, considering that it seems there was a good reason it took a long fucking time to go from Alpha to OBT.

Why is no one using the Quick Party? All the XP boost and stuff sounds great but I've tried to match up for 5 minutes with no bites...
I think over half the players don't know what it even does or just isn't in the habit of using it, heh.
Most people are AFK anyway.
Others like me are frequently playing with a premade party.
Every time I did that the people I get don't understand the concept of saving 8 FP for special dungeons or are Brazilians with terrible ping.
I'm in too much of a hurry to Quick Party. The five minutes I'm waiting for a party is an entire dungeon clear.
Here's a new thread for the OBT: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1017331
Also, the GAF guild is up if anyone wants to join. Get in on that incredible 1% EXP bonus, heh. We have a few people who are pretty experienced if anyone has questions when in game.
The guild name is NeoGAF. Message JasnahKholin or just apply in-game and let me know your in-game name via post or PM here. :3
