So wait, you're not supposed to sit there at the queue screen, but rather just keep trying? Seems a bit silly...

Speaking of ridiculous wordings, apparently "elemental resistances" actually means "elemental affinity" according to some post on BG a while ago. Whoops?

I thought it was a little of both? High fire = high fire damage and resistance?
EDIT: I need to go ahead and finish up Treasures of the main, but after that i'm up for anything (testing battle regimen, exploring random places, guildleves, behests, etc.)

Right. "affinity" would suggest both. "Resistance" doesn't exactly imply that you'd do more elemental damage by raising it.
Nevermind, read that wrong.
EDIT: Beta report from Gamewatch:
The melee classes on the beta servers are mostly gladiators and pugilists, with the lancers being next in line in popularity. Archers are less popular since arrows are expensive for players just starting out, and the marauders, with their unwieldy axes, are rather sparse. The mage classes seem to have a balanced population, but since the crafting quests have been stopped for now, theres not much to say about them.
Compared to other games on the market, it really appears like crafters will have a big presence in the game. There are many armor slots, so each crafting class will have its niche, and players will need these crafters to restore their equipment for them after it deteriorates to the point where its effectiveness begins to drop. There are guildleve recipes and recipes that players can discover on their own, but these recipes are still under wraps, so things that players can create are rather limited at the moment. For this reason, some recipes were released on the beta site to help alleviate the problem.
Due to server troubles, Square Enix has yet to fulfill their goal of successfully extending beta test times. Once the server troubles have died down, well be bringing you more beta test play reports.

Anyone got this? People in the forums got it as well but I havent seen a fix yet so I can't play once again ... sweet jesus Square....
Go to task manager, close all the versions of the updater and retry, it supposedly caused by having multiple instances of the updater running at the same time.
By the way, any lancers figure out the best distance between enemies to use skewer? Was trying to run through two at once to increase damage, but couldnt seem to line them up.
Also conjurers, it says the normal fire, blizzard, aero, etc. spells hit enemies within the area of effect...have any of you managed to hit more than one enemy at once?

Ok Im kinda getting ready for tonight but my expectations are low.
I hate that there is no way to /sea for people. Most likely Ill run around solo unless I happen to run into one of you or you contact me.
Not sure if Im gonna grab the same leves again this time. Ill probably just kill and explore all night leveling up as many jobs as I can.

Yeah was doing it quite a bit last test when there were two enemies close. The AoE is kinda small and I think it only huts targets your party is engaged with (A dodo kept walking close to my targets and didn't get hit but from what I've seen of the AoE size it should have)Teknoman said:

USB memory? DVD? Share the folder over the network?
Tons of them?
Wow...I havent seen one of those in years :lol Oh and the only thing that worked for me was talking in shout for awhile. I just happened to run into Zomba, Gromph, and MCX on accident. Overheard them talking at the adventurers guild.
