Performance is alot better now. No crazy studdering in town.
I think I just crashed from trying to enter the southern island market ward. Someone needs to place some map icons there, because I dont think anyone would known Island = Market ward instance.
EDIT: And now I cant log back in. Well on the bright side the ATI Radeon bug is no more and ingame performance is really smooth for me.

So, is it still log in hell?
Did part of the second quest chain, Sisipu says she will mark the area on your map, but no idea where she buggered off too.
Tried to teleport and crashed out, can't be arsed anymore now, guna go to sleep and hopefully it won't be canceled when I wake up.
ATI bug is still there, but not anywhere near as bad as it was, think I'm still guna go with an Nvidia card for this game.

ATI graphics are improved considerably. Performance isn't great but now it's gone from unplayable on an HD5770 in crowded areas to passable. With time it'll get to where it should be, or close to it, I'm sure.
The game itself is not any better after a week, and after doing all the levequests (which take no time at all and really offer next to no tangible rewards for trying it harder difficulty) you're left with grinding wharf rats as the most expedient way of leveling up. The two to five second lag on every action on Sephiroth (you couldn't choose your server when I created this pugilist) isn't helping matters either.
For now though, trying to grind out a few levels to see if the experience improves, or if Square drops some more content on us in the weeks ahead.

Wow they really improved the lag and the performance !
I don't have time to play much today but I already played 1 hour without problem.
Rank 8 marauder, learned skullcrusher, this skill is a bit OP hudge damage + physical damage over time I can kill yellow puk without problem

I'll join the avatar group now:
I hope the ATI issues get resolved soon, or I'll see myself forced to buy an Nvidia card before getting a new PC next year. Framerate was decent at around 20 FPS, but the game just kept crashing every now and then with many characters around.
I did very much enjoyed the combat, but I didn't get used to the whole 'F' deal (and C for locking).

So I got my DS3 to work with the game except the analogsticks. Anyone got an idea?
Edit: I think I got it.

Saw some cursed guys and an Ahriman near town in a cave, some strange fish-lizard thing near a cliff, and a crazy looking jackal near a bridge to the east of town. Think i'm going to either be Gladiator or Pugilist from now on. Tanking with a Gladiator is abit more involved, so thats cool.
Alot of the areas in the retainer and party search menus could use explanations. Oh and it seems "Reassign" in the stats menu, only lets you redistribute the points you got with your most recent level up.

Did they lower the FPS cap to 26? Cause that's all I'm able to get instead of the previous 30 FPS.
Edit: Okay, Conj's are pretty cool since I can start with two elemental attacks of my choosing. Though the lag on the server was pretty bad so the casting times took a bit of a while to do. Hrm. Conj...Glad...Conj...Glad....damn. Who to go with?

Reduce lag of some sorts? The game runs fine and by the looks of it, they're on the right track of keeping servers up and going this time. Stability will work its way in of course. We'll probably see more and more of it over the next couple of weeks.
Now, about those control tweaks....
Gah, frustration!
First my HUD dissapears and I can't find a way to bring it up, then for SOME reason when logging into the beta tester site - it keeps saying my password is entered incorrectly and locks me out of my account for 'several minutes' - how long is 'several minutes'?
Whole experience has been really awkward so far, I hate the PC controls compared to FFXI, things like using the chat is horrible, the party invitation method etc etc, nothing feels easy.

I'm really not getting this game.
When I try to fight stuff, get my weapon out, target it - I can't do anything? Can't use my battle regimens, gives the command that I 'Can't use Battle Regimens when I'm not engaged' - how am I not engaged? Guh.
Also, can't put my weapons away sometimes at all 'That command can not be processed'.

If for some reason you find yourself unable to attack anything, you should logout then back in. It's a pretty common bug in the beta.
Does anyone have a list of what each of the stats are? Specifically mind and int.... I remember one being posted, but I can't remember which is magic defence and which is magic str....

Yeah I realised it must have been lag or something.
Essentially, I ready my weapons, target the enemy and then select a move - nothing happens. Then I'm stuck with my weapons out and unable to put them away for around 5-10 minutes.
Also can't log out until I can put my weapons away.
