just got trolled by SE -___-

 

[Londa]

Anyone in Golbez?

Gromph Beta is my char!

the file with new patch (3.35GB) Will be up in about 30 min.

To thank you I will be willing to draw your beta character.

 

[Londa]

But that's not really "stuttering". That's just lag. Stuttering is your entire game freezing for like half a second.

I have both lag AND stuttering. Everyone seems to be complaining about the same in-game as well.

I notice that I got stuttering whenever I had to download a huge patch in XI. I usually did that thing where you can delete useless files and make more space on your HD by moving files around on the HD. I forgot what it was called. But I was told doing this helps lag on the internet and shuttering because of large gaps in the computers HD making the information travel slower.

Forgive me if I'm total wrong. lol

 

[Metalmurphy]

That would be a defrag, but I don't think it's the problem here

 

[Jinko]

The lag and framerate are the same thing, yes its poor coding but what can ya do

I duno why everyone is whining so much about it, they just added 45k testers, of course there is going to be problems, thats what beta is about.

I have been mining for the most part, can't find anything to kill.

Not done any screens or video's the lag is too bad, at one point i couldn't even turn the correct direction in town.

All that aside I am enjoying it quite a bit, but then its all new to me

Sorry, but lag and framerate are NOT the same thing.

Lag can be displayed as a delay in actions or rubberbanding where your character warps around. Never as framedrops.

 

[Jinko]

Think they just reset the servers, got kicked off and when i logged in lag and framerate problems had gone, not many people online either be looks of it.

I knew you would say that, I didn't mean they were the same thing in that sense, I meant they are obviously tied, the reason we are getting so much fps problems is because the server is under so much stress.

The fact is that prior to the additional testers the game wasn't running this bad, seems obvious where the problem has come from.

[LowParry]

Well I finished up the class quest. Done the other leve quests. Now what? :lol

 

[Teknoman]

Dont forget theres going to be server maintenance too. Also everyone now in beta, dont hesitate to report any problems you've had/improvements to be made.

 

[Jinko]

Find a cave and xp, seems people don't look in them very often, is a good place to grind.

 

[NarcissisticJay]

Did you hear any VA in the first CS? Or you haven't heard any VS at all?

Yeah, I heard the voices in the first CS on the boat.. Is there only VA in CSs?

Talking to NPCs and having their mouths move then having to look at the text log is lame..

Hopefully Im missing something

 

[LowParry]

Sitting at Gladiator 4, Physical 7 already. I need to break.

 

[Coldsnap]

Yea, too many people camping mobs atm. Do you know if other classes besides the handjob lol ) classes can craft?

 

[notworksafe]

Yes! Please report all problems or ideas for changes! In the end, that's part of why you are playing

 

[LowParry]

[Coldsnap]

Quick Qs:

-Is there any type of /heal that Im missing? How do you heal your char without magic/potions

-Is the mouse the only way to control the camera atm? No wired 360 controller and too lazy to blutooth the ps3 controller atm.



Feels just weird. So use to FFXI that just basic stuff in that game I cant seem to do or figure out lol

 

[LowParry]

I'll get some vids up as soon as I look them over and blah.

Edit: It's just a couple of vids. One doing a few emotes, the other finishing up a leve. I'll have them uploaded soon.

 

[gillty]

not sure I like the whole instanced markets / retainer system but my retainer sure is cute :lol

also new avatar!

 

[notworksafe]

Added downloads to OP.

Also is there a specific server that US people are trying for? I assume the old way of making characters over and over from FFXI works to find a server.

I do also have a Ventrilo server for people to chat on (for parties or even just talking about beta) that anyone is welcome to connect to. Just PM me for info.

You can just plug your PS3 pad with the USB charger cable....

like XI the mouse doesn't work at all camera keys were moved to IJKL =/ previously we had the choice to use the arrow keys for camera which were much better.

 

[Teknoman]

Get a shield Ccrook :lol Or try dual wielding. Didnt they add off hand weapon use in beta?

Also if markets are an instance, thats kinda cool. Beats Auction House city lag.

 

[Cowie]

oh holy shit I can play this now. Hopping online

 

[Teknoman]

You change to fisherman job with a rod, but dont think thats in beta yet?

 

[Corran Horn]

I could never get it to work that way...ended up working via blutooth shrug

 

[LowParry]

I got a new belt! I haven't seen any shields for sale. And if they were, they're probably 8k!

 

[Coldsnap]

I wish this beta had a manual.

Yeah for now, just like in the Alpha version, they have only put VA in for the first CS. Other CS will have VS at launch.

 

[Yasser]

Ok, everything is up.

Fisher

You can read about how the Armoury works here, or navigate the official site, where you'll also find all released information on the disciplines. (There's no info available yet on Fisher.)

Seems the Armory equivalent is online.
