Final Fantasy XIV |OT| ARR: Alpha Closed. Beta mid-Feb

We made a wallpaper for it should you so be inclined: http://na.square-enix.com/ffxiv/images/job_pose.jpg
Or you could enjoy the logo/copyright-less version above.
Do the ants in Copperbell mine, or the Diremites near Nophica Wells. You're almost there to the range for best xp parties though :O IF you can get to 35-36, you can partake in raptor fun.
What sucks is that the party search is actually good for people looking for others to join their party, but no one seems to use it to find people. They put up those invite flags, but i'm sure if anyone gets invited. I know I havent been yet.

The most fucked up thing by far was the super laggy menus.
I know they have done a lot of work and are planning to do even more for the "re-release" (does anyone have an article on what exactly they are planning?). My only experience is from the beta which I thought was just horrible. Are things still largely the same? Combat, content and quest wise?
how about these great moments:
- Most items max was 12 and not 99
- Shards were capped at 999 and not 9999
- Inventory was capped at 100 items
- Market wards were named ffxiv nouns instead of item categories
- You had to get a level 40 monster drop to craft a level 8 item
inventory management still sucks btw. takes an entire evening to clean out inventory.

For re-release stuff click on 2.0. For everything else, go to the forums and check the letters/update notes.
Was hoping for a condensed version.
Bought anyways. Hopefully I can at least have 10 bucks worth of fun.

Even a condensed version would have alot to read...at least I think it would (well the for the changes from start to the current form of XIV). The 2.0 stuff is just a bunch of PDF files, but there is one that has the majority of what you need to know.

Combat and character progression was completely overhauled last week. I haven't played with all the classes, but I'm really liking the changes to Conjurer. My impression is that everyone is rather pleased with it, though?
There is a lot more content now - there isn't a ton yet, but there is a fair amount if you're starting now. There are two raid dungeons now and two optional boss battles. The next update will have two more raid dungeons, as well as jobs, and some kind of "Hamlet defense" repeatable content... really hoping it's similar to Campaign Battle in XI, personally.
There are a lot of quests now - the game launched with zero sidequests, and now there are like 100. They're spaced every few levels, and give exp. and gear or gil rewards.
Still with this awful patching system... oh well. All the changes sound good. I am hopeful.
LOL I remember all the, "HEY it's just a beta guys. The actual release will have tons of quest!"
Is there still room in the GAF LS?

Yes, some people were kind enough to drop their pearls since they don't log in anymore.

ID? What ID?
Not sure what you're having a problem with. Can you elaborate a little, I can help you out.
Square Enix ID. They give an easy enough password retrieval but for the ID it's a whole ordeal that involves contacting customer support. Anyhow, I kept trying different ones and got it eventually.
But again... still absolutely regretting this. I ran the benchmark just to make sure I would have no issues (7000+ score) and obviously I'm pretty confident I shouldn't have any... load up the game... 20 FPS in the tutorial area with my GPUs running at 99%. What the fuck? This very same scene ran flawlessly in the benchmark.

Let me guess: you set General Drawing Quality to 10 (Maximum). Leave it at 8 (Normal).

Turn off Ambient Occlusion, and Depth of Field as well.

Rodent Whores
lol I just saw your application to the LS website. You don't know a lot of gaf memes, do you lol.
Haha. Yes. Turned it down to 8 and running extremely well.
First impressions are good. Glad they modeled the combat closer to FFXI. Playing with gamepad/keyboard feels good again.

I just applied now. Have been playing on and off; highest character is MRD at 32, but I'll be working to change that in the near future...

Haha. I was so fucking confused by what I was filling out. I was thrown off by the fact it just brought me to that page after I registered. I thought I had to register on the site, then sign up to be in the guild or whatever. So when it just shot me to that after registering for the site, I was just like "what the hell is going on here?"

Should we just remake the LS after the pay period starts? Seems that's a much more reasonable way to filter...
Honestly, I haven't had a chance to play since 2.0 came out and I just got it reinstalled on my computer last night. I'll check it out over the next few days, but I will drop my pearl if I'm not going to subscribe. When does the free trial period end?

The 5th of January, I think.
It's possible to buy the digital version from the US SE store.
Update to 1.20a confirmed for tomorrow:
I... kind of don't want this? Because making achievement tracking reasonable means that I might actually attempt some of the more ridiculous ones.

It should come with content plus the new year event.

Guys, i think i have a problem since the last patch or 2. My colors seems too much 'bright' sometimes (the names over the characters seems lamps lol) and during the night, the 'whites' are all 'blu-ish'.. like this (and the clouds have this problem):
Do you think it's a TV problem or video card? Or what.

Neither isn't it supposed to look like ?

I've always had that.
You need to be outside the market, can't buy from any row.
Huh, FFXIV-DB broken for anyone else? When I search it says "X Results Found," but doesn't actually show them.
Sounds like farming for Moogle triggers just got a lot easier.
Also, related to Achievements... I saw someone with a Saw of the Luminary today. Did synths made before the update count, because I can't imagine someone doing all that in, like... a week.

Database update complete. Revised item tooltips will be coming in a few hours.
Also:
- Updated the Navigation menu. This one is sleeker, renders better on mobile devices, allows me to add a new feature in the coming hours...
- Updated the Map viewer. This one is quicker loading, html5, and renders on mobile devices
Some notes on 1.20a
- New Item (Beastcoin) "Unmarked Keystone"
- Repair class for Ranger's Hat, Ranger's Hat (Red), Rainmaker's Hat, and Rainmaker's Hat (Blue) changed from Leatherworker to Weaver
- Defense for Felt Trousers (Green), Felt Trousers (Blue), and Felt Trousers (Brown) raised from 81 to 130
- Loads of french item translation Fixes
- Clarification of some skill description eg (Murderous Intent: Changed "Throw yourself into your attacks, increasing crit rate." to "Throw yourself into your blows, increasing critical hit rate of physical attacks.")

Murderous Intent no longer exists as a skill usable by players.
They updated it in the Command list - I have no idea why they would do that.
Rentahamster
Rodent Whores
lol that is odd.
Enemies can still use the old skills, but as far as I recall, there weren't any enemies that used Murderous Intent. Furthermore, it's not as if players would be able to see it.
Well, actually, now that we can hover over status icons and see a tooltip, that would be a scenario where we would need an updated text description.
Minor request, Ultros...
Can you make it so that if you click on "Thaumaturge" or "Conjurer" under "Weapons" that you don't need to select One-Handed or Two-Handed, and it'll show all of them?
I generally don't care overly about the handed-ness of my weapons, and just want to know what the next one is.
I kind of feel that the same thing would be useful for crafters' primary and secondary tools, too - I never really think about the secondaries, but would if I could just see them all in the same list.
