You might want to go Pugilist, check this video out for different classes and the speed differences etc.

I think you can throw rocks or something. I know they said something about miners being able to do nice debuffs againsnt earth and metal based enemies?
EDIT: With fast attacking jobs or abilities that aid stamina regen, you should have a "mini hundred fists" with normal attacks all the time.

There is a vent server on the OP. We didnt seem to use it much on Tuesday but I can see using it later on during the betaMCX said:

I saw a few pages back people were trying to figure out what the PS3 controller scheme would be so they could make a similar one for the beta. Never saw an answer for that.

With the current battle system, you already need to pay attention. Wandering around and killing monsters just makes it more like a normal jrpg.
Besides camping the same spot for hours gets boring, and you'd think camping lets people not pay attention, since enemies are in the same spot for the duration of the party.
No one can "steal your spot" when you dont have to camp too.

Off topic but...
To be honest I think that visual counter is belittling the player. All you have to do is count to three. I'm shocked that they have really dumbed down XI to this degree. I think that was the main reason I stop playing XI. It wasn't the same game I loved in 2004-2006
On topic...
I fear that stuff like this will come to 14 within a year. I hope one day SE can make a challenging game without people complaining.

Are we all friends now? I really don't want to lose anyone because of some small beef. We're all in this together. So let's help each other out with what information we have. Damn, I want to get to Gladiator 10 though. They look to start opening up around that level and beyond.
Edit: I'm still on the Emperor server. Not sure if I want to start up a new char. I'll probably mess around with the recruiting side of things to see how it works out.

Doesn't take long to hit 10 on gladiator once you get in the swing of things, can appreicate not wanting to start a new charcter mind you.
I just hope Shadowlord doesn't get screwed over with the early maintainance not to come back at all :|
Doubt I will bother with any parties till at least lvl 10, didn't seem to work very well for us last tuesday, although we didn't have a conjurer I guess which would have helped.

so now i have to get a new card :lol :lol should i get a 4670 or wait a few weeks and get a 5750 ?
Neither are really fantastic for the game. I'd try and spring for a 5770 at the least, if you can't afford to up your budget and don't mind dealing with rebates then you can go for something like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127495&cm_re=gts_250-_-14-127-495-_-Product
It'll perform better in FF than a 5750 and its much cheaper to boot. A second hand GTX 260 for ~$100 would be even better, though that'll require a fairly beefy PSU.

Just ran the benchmark on my new rig I built. I spent about $700 on it, but I already had a Win 7 license so that amount is just the PC. My final score on the low resolution was 4157. I have a 22" monitor, and it doesn't support the high resolution so I figured there was no point in testing it.
I have a Radeon HD 5770. I don't know if my score is good or bad for that card, but it looks like I can handle the game anyway.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying the videos. 
For those wondering:
A) What was your benchmark score?
6700 on low. 4000 on high.
B) System Specs?
i7 930 @ 4.0
6GB DDR3 1600
ATI HD 5850
Windows 7 64 bit
C) Settings?
Config:
Windowed
Window Size: 1280x720
Multisampling: 2Sample (as of Wednesday I'll be testing this on 8Sample)
Buffer Size: Window Size (as of Wednesday I'll be testing this on Double)
Shadow Detail: Standard
In-game:
Character Shadows Off
Dust Effects On
Extended Drawing On
Physics On
The game runs near perfect outside of towns with the occasional stutter (dips FPS randomly) due to this ATI problem.. Tuesday's test with the partial fix was a little better but not where it was during Alpha. Town is a nightmare until all the character models are loaded then its "ok".
Hope this helps you guys.

Huh? Does this game support PhysX?
edit: And where's this hack which enables the character creator if you want to mess around? I'm still not in the fucking beta.
Haha nice man. Good to see more people from Midgard looking forward to playing the new game.
As for your benchmark... After all the tweaking we've done on the BG forums it makes sense that your low score would go up with a CPU upgrade. CPU plays the most important role on low res, it just disregards everything else and just plows through the benchmark. GPU really only comes into play on high res. I've managed to get my low score from 5400 to 6700 by OCing/using Hyperthreading, but my high res score only went up 30 points.

Well I only plan on playing at 1440x900, but i'll have shadows on high, ambient and depth turned off, buffer size window (since I play full screen) and 2x multisampling...but i guess I should give the high res bench a shot just to see.
EDIT: Did you go by Kurokikaze on XI? For some reason, that name sounds familiar.
