Is there a boob slider? Very important question here folks :lol

 

[careksims]

Did they add the bust size option in?! :lol

Edit: LOL asking the same question XD

 

[Rentahamster]

I really do want to play this...I just couldn't get passed some of the frustrations in the beta.
My main issues:

1) Ridiculous interface lag. This is issue #1 by far.

According to early impressions, it's better, although it may just be because there's hardly anyone else online now.

http://ffxiv.zam.com/forum.html?gam...1074&page=1&howmany=50#msg1285118071145483393

Massive improvement to interface lag which now seems to be client side rather than server side (as many predicted).

 

[Kandinsky]

Could someone take a screenshot of the title screen?

Same as alpha :/

 

[Teknoman]

Hardware mouse cursor is already in (config screen).

Is the XIV title screen different from beta?

EDIT: Aw man. I was hoping for some sort of loop like XI.

 

[Zomba13]

They've nerfed the opening fight, they give normal mob skill and no phys exp now

Aww! Why did someone have to complain about that before?!

Keep the impressions coming! Need to know what else has been changed.

[DrDogg]

I'm thinking about going up to my local Game Stop in about an hour and just telling them I got the call to come pick my copy up. :lol

No new hair. At least not for Male Lalafell.

They will be adding a barber in the future similar to what WoW does from what it sounds like.

 

[Kagari]

Stores aren't selling it early in my area Tomorrow morning at 10 it is then!

I really do want to play this...I just couldn't get passed some of the frustrations in the beta.
My main issues:

1) Ridiculous interface lag. This is issue #1 by far.
2) Poor interface. Not intuitive whatsoever.
3) Poor performance.
4) No hardware mouse without patch
5) Even with hardware mouse and high framerate, camera is extremely stuttery and makes it feel like the game is running in the teens
6) Crashes while alt-tabbing. This is nearly unforgiveable for an MMO. Running in windowed mode cuts performance by a good 25%, which makes that option quite unattractive.

I loved the design of the world, the music, the characters. Hopefully the game reaches a polished state in the future.

1) Should be fixed for retail
2) Eh, hopefully fixed over time
3) Should be better for retail
4) Already in
5) Didn't notice this, but I don't like how zoomed in the camera is
6) Yea, they need to work on this.

 

[Zomba13]

Ah, you now get 3000 exp (phys exp) after the intro.

Also it was my first time seeing the Gridania opening and it was awesome.

I'm also rocking my gloves and onion helm. I like that the feathers jiggle. More hats need to jiggle.

Do they just appear?

Can you give us some feedback on the gloves?

I was shit out of luck dogg Told ya! :lol

I got there and the dude I talked to on the phone went in the back and was about to ring it up and then another dude working there that saw the transaction stopped him at the last minute and said he couldn't break the street date.

So I just finished paying it off and will pick up tomorrow morning and wait till I get home tomorrow nite to play...

 

[jiggle]

i have a question about gamestop preorder, hope someone can help

so i preordered FFXIV CE at gamestop for $10
the card i used for that has since expired and cut up
when i go tomorrow to pick up the game and paying with a dif card
is my receipt enough for the proof of pre-order?

They've nerfed the opening fight, they give normal mob skill and no phys exp now

awwwwwww

so xp is gone
but we can still exploit sp right?

 

[Jinko]

Zomba can you check out the crafting lag if you get time

I like that the feathers jiggle. More hats need to jiggle.

Thats cool, I noticed the feathers didn't move in the beta.

Usually they just ask for a phone number or ID.

The bonus goodies are just in your inventory as soon as you make the character. The helm gives 9 hp, mp and 13 ele resistance with a 3% dmg cut to slashing and blunt and a 2% to piercing.
The gloves give a 1% cut in earth damage and 1 output and control and 17 ele resistance.

Hardware mouse is fantastic. Gets rid of any mouse problems. I'll try crafting either later or tomorrow.

Nah. I mean you could but you'd just be farming 3 level 1 mobs that give the occasional 25+ skill and no phys. You get the phys in a big lump at the end of he intro so if you force d/c you'll end up in the area where you talk to the guy to take you to the adventurer's guild.

So the gloves are a permanent increase to effectiveness?

Did they add a "sort" inventory? Please god tell me they did.

It's gonna be tough to sit through work tomorrow.

I want to wait long enough for the person I talked to this morning to have gone home. Maybe I'll get lucky and get someone who isn't as "knowledgeable" about not selling the game today.

 

[Zomba13]

So the gloves are a permanent increase to effectiveness?

Only when you have them on. I don't know what hidden effect they have or if i's doing anything though.

 

[Rentahamster]

So shall we coordinate some kind of commodity to focus on to produce early?

I figure bronze daggers would be fairly easy for individuals to profit from if they start early since all the ingredients are sold by NPCs.

Anything we can craft/farm together as a group to put on the market early? In beta, sheepskin harnesses and dodoskin harnesses had a huuuuuge profit margin and I have a hunch it'll be the same again. I know I made my first 200,000 reselling sheepskin harnesses.

Any ideas? If you crafters got anything in particular you need, I'll do my best to level quickly and farm it.

 

[DrDogg]

Only when you have them on. I don't know what hidden effect they have or if i's doing anything though.

They're supposed to increase the effectiveness of the weapon/tool you're using.

 

[Zomba13]

I've got my retainer. Snatches up the name Bestbuy

EDIT: Odd, there seems to be no tutorial leves. At least not a Tutorial leve section.

 

[DrDogg]

Wouldn't work for me. I won't be selling at discounted prices.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

That's okay neither does BestBuy™.

 

[Rentahamster]

Zing!

Nope no sort =/

 

[Teknoman]

Needs more screenshots.

1) Should be fixed for retail
2) Eh, hopefully fixed over time
3) Should be better for retail
4) Already in
5) Didn't notice this, but I don't like how zoomed in the camera is
6) Yea, they need to work on this.

Camera didnt seem that studdery to me moving with analog stick...but maybe thats why. As far as zooming in/out, default is kinda close.

Earlier I said Amazon shipped my CE with UPS and that they always seem to be late or something else happens. I just saw they shipped from Dallas and I leave near Houston so if they mess this one up I'm gonna make sure I never have them deliver to me again. :lol

 

[DrDogg]

Nope no sort =/

No sort sucks, but at least the lag is gone so it won't be too bad.

 

[Zomba13]

just had this message:
You have been awarded more than 500 points for the first time on a regional levequest.

500 what points? Achievement points? Exp points? Skill points?

 

[jiggle]

find out if region and local leves are combined plz!!!

Will do. I dont think they are though as they still have separate sections in the journal

 

[Salaadin]

Is it? Confirm Zomba, please

Not tried selling anything yet as I have nowt to sell but just scrolling through the bag is a lot smoother.

EDIT: This is disappointing. The first rank 1 hand equip I get from a leve is better than the Asuran Armguards. I expected them to be better than rank 1 crap.

Dont worry though. Itll get there on time.

Damn! Good job SE. That's some gloves you got there. Should have just given a tiny Chocobo pet that runs with you or a Moogle.

I dunno, here is mine:

September 21, 2010 07:05:00 PM Dallas/Ft. Worth A/P TX US Shipment received by carrier
September 21, 2010 03:56:58 PM Irving TX US Shipment has left seller facility and is in transit

Maybe they will send it to Memphis before they send it to Houston like they seem to stupidly do sometimes. lol
