that is pretty damn awesome, assuming it applies to the actual item texture and not just the picture in the equip box. Seeing dents in armour and rips in cloth would be a great way to visually tell the player that their armour needs a repair.Munba said:I found this interesting .dat with the rapture program,
They finally added the damages to items?
My only problem with the maps (thus far, since I haven't played anything outside of Limsa obviously) is the font they use on them. I can't read half the words on those things, and it doesn't help that XI and XIV have some crazy fantasy naming schemes going on. A more legible font would have been wonderful.
I agree that it's awkward trying to read the names in the map, but since there are markings placed all around the map automatically, it's fine to understand. Besides having such type of Eorzean fonts help on with the immersion.
And it's not like the letters are very different from the roman alphabet. It's a Fantasy world, I think it suits it perfectly.

Nothing would make me happier. I'd love to eat my hat on everything. Content, mouse, UI slowness, fatigue...etc etc.Kandinsky said:

Man I will gladly eat my hat if they can prove me wrong. I want so badly to love this game the way I've loved FFXI all these years. It just doesn't look like it's gonna happen any time soon though.
PROVE ME WRONG SHIT-ENIX
I also really want to be motivated enough to buy the CE so I can secure the name I want.
I think some of the reason there was UI lag is because item info was being downloaded every time you selected the items name. One of the reasons the version update is so big is because maybe they are letting people download the item info onto their computers now. But I could be wrong.
Gulk-whoever said the zones for the starting cities were already given to us, so I'm assuming they are just releasing more of the data's to testers. Again, I could be wrong.

Updating the client, have about 7 hours left (or at least for file 2010.08.27.2001). I didn't get into the closed beta but have read here that the open beta will still require a key. I haven't been able to find much info on that though. Will the keys be given away from website giveaways or will people be able to snag them when making an account or something?
edit: now downloading patches from OP, much, much faster.

Welcome Caw, I'm not sure but I think no one knows for sure how the open beta is going to be handled. People hinting that even closed beta folks will need keys has got me confused. So I will just wait for an update from the player site.
If there is any news, I'm sure someone will give everyone a heads up. So keep checking this thread. I'm guessing that tomorrow morning we will get a message from SE explaining Open Beta for everyone.

The only info I found on that was the eorzeapedia post saying that anyone in the closed beta will need another separate open beta code that SE will email to them. Open beta starts in less than 24 hours and no one has received any codes yet
edit: forgot the 4

Bah the patch file doesn't seem to be working for me. Wonder what I'm doing wrong.

From gromph or the updater?
If youre running the updater and its slow, try opening the right ports. If youre using utorrent, also try to open the right ports.
If the updater is stopping at 99% and giving an error, turn off your antivirus programs and try again.
Londa said:
I'm pretty sure they already gave a reason for the menu lag. I'm too lazy to find it, but I think SE said it was due to the extra processes they have running during beta, to collect data and bugs.
I'm the first one to call FFXIV on their bs excuses, but in this case it's plausible. I've seen it happen in other betas. If that is the reason, don't expect the lag to go away until release.
As annoying as it is, UI lag is down on my list of things I'm worried about.

Nah gromph's file. I've probably screwed up my folder order at some point so I'm just downloading the .rar file and I'll use that.

Try this:

Once you disable that, re run the updater and hopefully it will hit 100%. Youll know its done when you get a "cant access right now due to maintenance" message. Make sure you reenable AVG when done.

You can go ahead and download everything now, but we couldn't tell you how to get on it if you weren't on the closed beta before.
