Servers aren't up.Roxas said:

My problem with the DoF effects for gameplay (other than bogging down my GPU) are that it really kills a lot of the sky definition. When it's on, you can barely see the stars as more than smudges, and the clouds are more of a haze than the gorgeous ones present in the game.
On the plus side, they do force the DoF and AA effects for cutscenes, so they always look pretty
What I would love is a dynamic DoF system... Basically keep it off for running around, but as soon as you lock on in combat, the DoF kicks in to focus on the encounter. Now that I could get behind.

Ah that's a shame. Maybe I'll keep DoF off then. Played it off for the most part and it makes the game looks very good.
Salaadin said:I know
Im still wondering if its a Catalyst 10.6 issue. I havent seen anyone with issues running 10.5 yet so Im genuinely curious if thats part of it. I also dont have access to the beta forums though so I dont see lot of the complaints.
I have rolled back to 10.4 because 10.5 supposedly had stutter issues aswell.
I will let you know what happens.
Would have to agree the DoF kind of ruins the game and looks way overdone.

Just disable DoF. It still stays enabled on the cutscenes where it actually looks good so no harm done.

Damn it. Well Kefka does seem REALLY overpopulated, so I could try to reroll again on Shadowlord when my time comes around tomorrow morning.
EDIT: Wait, after tomorrow world selection will be available? Too bad we cant move characters over now.
I guess i'll have better luck trying to reroll early tomorrow.
EDIT:
Think it'll just be safe to post videos here without the name edited? I mean I dont think i'd have to worry about anyone posting the links outside this forum section.
Oh and I guess weapons dont scale, since those are pretty much job requirements. If the armor scales...then I could buy some nice armor early on, that lasts well into whatever rank is listed on its description?
Also its cool that there are materials that change the color and finish on armor, so even if you have the same armor as someone else...it could look very different.

Thank you so much, Gromph. My neighbor is evil and assumes "opening ports" means "hacking the gibson." :lol
Even if I partially downloaded the update through their torrent, I can just replace the entire install folder or whatever folder this is and it'll be good?

Nothing was better than spamming /clap at someone in XI to try to wake them up at the keyboard :loljiggle said:
So since we pretty much know what the official server names will be(?) Whats the general consensus for our retail server(for those that want to be on the same server anyway)?
Im guessing most FFXI players will probably try and go for Shadowlord. You know Sephiroth and Kefka will be packed at retail by everyone else.
And of course the full list probably looks like:
Garland
Emperor
*not sure what the FFIII server would be called, since Cloud of Darkness is abit long*
Golbez
Exdeath
Kefka
Sephiroth
Ultimecia
Kuja
Jecht
Shadowlord
Gabranth
*not sure what the XIII server would be since I havent beat the game yet :lol *

Yeah im pretty far...and it doesnt seem like all the server names are the true enemy in the game (FFIX with Necron, IV with Zeromus, and I with Chaos) so those are probably fair game. Looks like they choose bad guys that were characters in Dissidia for the most part.

tried it a bit last night...
how can anyone approve this shitty control on the kb?
it's totally designed for gamepads
i played 4 years of ff11 (2002-2006) and wow (late 2005-2009). i remember i used to really like ff11's control. maybe wow's flawless control really did it for me?
I am about to cancel my preorder because of the shit controls, arg.

Jinko said:
Yeah, thats true. Maybe there were multiple servers for the FFXI JP beta too.
I kinda like the bad guy naming scheme though.
Kirashi said:
Or you could buy a gamepad :lol
Seriously though, I believe the control scheme for keyboards is supposed to be updated at some point soon.
