Stopped by EB this morning to grab Reach, and saw this. My buddy who works there told me to peep the system specs... my computer would literally melt.

Off to a GREEEAT start. /sarcasm

1) Don't see the code for my garland goggles anywhere with my order from Amazon. Not in email either.

2) Went to register the product key and it said the code has expired. So I got screwed there.

Don't the goggles come with the standard edition? The CE comes with the arm guards right?

I dunno if Amazon had some special going on but you wouldn't get the goggles until you get the game the slip is in the case

Oh SE is clever. Thinking I'd buy two copies just for fancy items. My bad. I was under the assumption you'd get the goggles and the helm with the CE edition since we ponied up all the extra dough.

Glad to see the patcher didn't get any attention to be fixed so I wouldn't have to use megaupload/ffxiv core to get patches.

Idk wtf to do about the register code being in use. At first I thought it was my fault using an O instead of a 0, but I looked at their instructions on that page for which is whcih, and after trying both it it won't work. When it's the right code it says it's expired.

100% lame.

OK. Is the Gridania quest broken? I've been to the white wolf gate and no younglings cutscene. I've been all the way out too. wtf?

EDIT: Nevermind, had to go ALL the way down the white wolf gate road.

Jinko you were hating on the beta. What are your impressions of release? If it's like the beta will you stick around?
Click to expand...

I wouldn't say I was hating on the beta, its love/hate relationship I have with it :p Kind of like 11.

I will be sticking with 14 at least 3-4 months or until Tera comes out.

As I said though release is basically identical to OB except less lag.

So two copies of XIV just arrived, confusingly.

Both were addressed to me on the box, but the packing slip for the second one was addressed to someone else entirely, in an entirely different part of the country.

My product key worked, but the game registration code (that gives SE member points) said it was expired.

Worse I would say, I'm getting less frames per second, duno why, all the settings are the same.

That's very odd. Is there any word on upcoming patches? I suppose it could just be initial server lag...

Starting to think that starting off as a crafter was not such a good idea. A lot of the materials are pretty expensive, and I don't have nearly enough crystal shards for all this stuff. Will have to find a weapon and start doing some fighting.

Yeah that's the one that is saying it's expired for me too.

Whatever I guess since I can play the game and it won't effect that, but it's a shame that it's not working since we were entitled to those points upon purchase. I doubt SE will fix it either.

As for the actual game thus far for 5 minutes on Cornelia server I noticed NPCs had weapons this time to sell, and that the menu lag is slightly better, but not a great deal by any means.

I might post more to see differences later on tonight, but I'm sure the rest of Gaf will have it all covered by then.

Thats the thing no lag, connection icon is always green.

On a different subject, I need help deciding on whether to upgrade my CPU or GPU (can't afford to both right now), the game is using roughly 50-60% of my Q6600 and 30-60% of my Radeon 4870.

I'm thinking im more CPU restrained, what do you guys think ?

Well, I got my Onion Helm, Armguards, Right of Passage, and security token all setup and the patch is almost done installing.

PABLO HONEY is about to grace Lindblum with his big, red presence.

So has anyone found a mailbox yet? :lol I noticed the back of the onion helm card mentioned that an item acquired through a special code cannot be traded to another character, sold or sent through "the delivery service" so I guess there has to be some form of mail now or soonish.

what is right of passage?
Click to expand...
You enter a code on the website and they mail you a "birth certificate" for your character. Has their name, starting city and some other stuff on it. I'm going to put it right next to my diploma*.

* As soon as I find my diploma buried in one of the boxes I still haven't unpacked in the garage.

Dude do not marry a girl who plays an MMO. It starts off all great like hey she doesn't give me shit for playing FFXIV all night but then ten years later your baby ends up looking like that kid from Trainspotting because you were both camping NMs.

That's just fatigue. Have the kid switch to another class and it'll recover over time.

FWIW, my game was running much smoother until the crash. I felt like there was less input lag and the hardware mouse is MUCH better.

But then it crashed.

SE changed the controller setup. No more macros on controller... at least the option isn't in the configuration menu. Now I can access the Action Menu and open chat though.

Weird, I'm getting an error when I start the game asking me to set it to Windowed mode... Anyone else seen that?

Edit: Nevermind, it's a windower error. :p
