Be prepared for another patch any moment.

I only say that because my download just finished and no doubt SE will screw me over again like they did this morning.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Tek you wanna try to reroll with me onto Shadowlord?

 

[Teknoman]

Tek you wanna try to reroll with me onto Shadowlord?

Sure, does it tell you the server after you make the character, or you just have to go through the intro boat scene each time?

 

[J-Rzez]

Argh... stuck at 99.8% now. I'll pick up some speed, then it drops to nil for 20 minutes. :lol

I want to get in and try this sucker out already.

 

[Londa]

Thanks everyone for the Fraps suggestion.

Gromph: Thank you for providing the version updates. I have installed them all and I'm just waiting to get on and make my character. which should be just right about now.


What server is everyone on?? Which server should I pick??

 

[Corran Horn]

Is that the gaf server?

 

[Corum]

Away we go.

Spoiler

20th in queue.

 

[Teknoman]

Is that the gaf server?

Well its the one most gaf happened to land on, so I guess in beta for now? We cant choose servers just yet though.

So how are we gonna reroll all to the same server? oO

 

[Alex]

I like how that chest armor looks, it looks like armor...! I'm just happy to see actual meaningful armor designs after enough years of neon death skull green/orange.

I guess trial and error for now or something?

 

[Jinko]

Nope you have to sit through the cutsene or do it the way I said on the other page, both are a lot of hassle.

 

[chris-013]

Hum can you start the game and choose your character with the gamepad ?

 

[Metalmurphy]

I guess trial and error for now or something?

>.<


They're probably gonna put us on a new server, not an old one.

 

[Teknoman]

Hum can you start the game and choose your character with the gamepad ?

Yeah, use the d-pad. Analog makes your character run around at select.

 

[chris-013]

Damn doesn't work...

 

[Londa]

anyone know how to move your character around in the character creation screen? I can't see the hair styles all the way.

 

[Teknoman]

Should be a rotate option somewhere, or try with the mouse curor (left click and drag or right click and drag).

EDIT: We should report about the server select system. I know it wont be like this in retail, but maybe they could change it early beta in the next update.

 

[Jinko]

IJKL.

 

[Teknoman]

I guess I could give constant rerolling a shot until I hit Shadowlord. It's not like i've done more than get used to the game currently.

 

[Londa]

IJKL.

Thank you kindly

 

[Yasser]

everytime i try to log in i get a error message saying

"Communication Error

Error Code:Http 500

The authentication server is currently undergoing maintenance. Please try again later."

is this a problem on my end or should i just be patient and try again later?

you might want to wait, could get stuck in a que atm.

 

[gillty]

nice! first reroll attempt and I landed on shadowlord! Grim Fandango

 

[Jinko]

Welcome to the queue then

 

[Metalmurphy]

Created a new character and ended up in Kefka server :S

strange thing though. Character doesn't appear on the Player's website.

 

[gillty]

Welcome to the queue then

landed in queue #125, hit cancel reselect character and skip ahead queue!

 

[Jinko]

landed in que #125, hit cancel reselect character and skip ahead que!

I think their que is broken, i was at 64 when i first logged in now im 132.

 

[Wes]

Anyone got a server list?

 

[gillty]

btw tip for keyboard players:

if you prefer to use the arrow keys for camera movement its pretty easy to get that setup

Download MapKeyboard
http://www.inchwest.com/mapkeyboard.aspx

Setup the corresponding arrowkeys to IJKL and then log off windows, your arrow keys will now be remapped system wide. When you want to reset the keys for normal use open map keyboard, hit reset keys, and log off / login on windows.

[Pai Pai Master]

Keep getting booted when connecting to server after making character thanks to congestion.

-.-

Bah.

 

[gillty]

Anyone got a server list?

according to character search on players.finalfantasyxiv.com

Shadowlord
Garland
Emperor
Golbez
Exdeath
Kefka
Sephiroth
Ultimecia
Jecht
Gabranth

 

[Coldsnap]

omg I'm not lagging, what is happening?!

 

[Metalmurphy]

One character on Shadowlord another on Jecth and another on Kefka :lol


It's gonna be impossible to get us all on the same server

omg I'm not lagging, what is happening?!

yeah, I noticed that I wasn't stuttering too, though that could have been an instance. I'll have to try my previous character.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I've gotten everything except Golbez and Shadowlord so far...can't be too far off!!!

 

[Corran Horn]

Like on 30th reroll using memory editor to tell...no shadowlord ;;

 

[Coldsnap]

I guess i will try and hang with you guys on shadowlord

 

[Jinko]

Seems lag has gone for the most part and teleporting load times seem a lot faster now. (is a different server I suppose)

 

[Metalmurphy]

Explain There's something in the Memory that says what server you're gonna be on before you create the character?

 

[Corran Horn]

from last page

I think at least 3 of us are on Shadowlord, it took me about 15 tries to get on the right server and I was using the memory editor on the OP.

If you know how to use it, it will save you having to sit through the cutscene.

All you need to do is have it open when you make your name select next and then look for the name you just created in the memory editor, it will bring up several options you will need to select each one and then switch to edit memory, if you selected the correct one it will tell you which server its been assigned.

If its the wrong server, click previous, change the name and then click next, rinse and repeat.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Yes check OP and Jinko's post earlier on this page.

 

[Corran Horn]

ding ding ding, after about 50 tries. Shadowlord. So it is still possible :lol

 

[hgplayer1]

managed to create a character on Exdeath named Bloodberry Rotflmao, next one is loading up now on server...... Jecht

 

[Munba]

Yeah, less laggyness now. Almost playable.

 

[Metalmurphy]

That will certainly make things easier.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

There we go.

Let's get a list of names going?

Shadowlord Server

Jinko -- ??
Pai Pai Master -- Zhaan Lovecraft
Corran Horn -- Corran Horn
Cold Snap - Lord Cat

Who else? I'll update it as we get more names.

 

[Coldsnap]

Awesome, I am on Shadowlord.

Name: Lord Cat

Lets play

 

[Corran Horn]

Corran Horn - Corran Horn

I like things simple :lol
