No more Lindblum What server should I join then?

 

[enemyairship]

What a bummer. Took my time installing the game because I had people over. I should've thrown them out and gotten on sooner to get into Lindblum.

Will wait to hear what other servers matter...

 

[Let me in]

So I have 8 leves in my inventory and I have completed them all. There are 4 battlecraft and 2 fieldcraft from Grid and 2 battlecraft from Uldah. I still have leves that have not been done and I can't exchange new ones for the ones that are complete. What's the deal? I thought I was doing this in beta.

The NPC says "there are no exchangeable leves." Is there a cooldown for exchanging?

 

[-tetsuo-]

Wait so lindblum is full? What the hell.

 

[Teknoman]

Everyone still trying to join Lindblum: Just wait, it'll return to the list. Something similar happened in beta when too many people flooded into that one server.

 

[enemyairship]

It would seem that way.

 

[Let me in]

Yeah, there's no way any of these servers at totally full yet. There's just tons of volume and they're trying to divert the flow of incoming users to other servers.

 

[Kintaro]

Well... I got the game installed, but Lindblum is not on the list of available worlds. Anyone else get this?

Edit: Saw the message. I'll wait it out. Install was easy btw.

 

[Coverly]

How are you guys getting your game patched? The updater for me sits at 0% with no activity until it times out. ;_;

 

[Kagari]

Hmm perhaps I should wait till it comes back up then.

 

[DCharlie]

hmmm - not having much luck. the wife got her LE but the thing installs but simply dies on boot up with "問題があります" - which isn't entirely helpful in terms of errors.

installed, reinstalled, admin mod, compat mode, direct X updated - same thing :/
love the troubleshooting guide in the manual too - oh wait, there isn't one! huzzah!

 

[Kintaro]

BTW, I picked Gladiator to start. Anyone else going Galka? I figured you small creatures needed something to protect you.

 

[kiryogi]

Waaait does that mean I'm screwed as well? Or did open beta gurantee me a spot on lindblum? I knew I shoulda made my char before work.

 

[tenchir]

Besides playing the game 6 month early, is there a reason why I shouldn't wait for the ps3 version?

 

[Kagari]

You're guaranteed your old character + name.

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

Well I got Pugilist to 7, Alchemist to 6, and Leather Working to 5. I can no longer seem to take or find any more leves at this point so I'm at a loss of what to do. I logged for the night and will have to get a LS pearl from one of the Ul'dah sack carries another time.

 

[hgplayer1]

Finished up Treasures of the Main in Limsa and Im sitting at 12k gil and Gladiator 2 Physical 3.

The battlecraft leves look like crap in Limsa so tomorrow Im gonna do some traveling and see what the other cities have to offer.

I would say the game seems to be running a little better on my PC but not much. My connection is always in the green so thats good.

Looking forward to grinding over the weekend and finding some gear! Right before open beta I ended up with some nice armor that Im hoping Ill be able to get again.

 

[hgplayer1]

Theres a way to do it manually if you have a torrent client like utorrent.

I had to do it myself since the games updater was stuck.

Im pretty tired right now but Im sure someone else can explain the process.

 

[-tetsuo-]

System maintenance :/

 

[lupinko]

Hmm, I was able to make a character and try stuff out, but since it was mentioned that the in-game code items only apply to before the characters are created. I'll probably just wait for my friend to give me his unused FFXIII code then. I wasn't happy with my design anyway.

But from what I played, which wasn't much, I liked it a bit, hopefully that continues with this game. =)

 

[nataku]

Server still isn't on the list. Guess my plans of playing tonight are out the window.

You guys pick terrible servers.

 

[SOLDIER]

Asking again:

I had an issue with the beta where the text size and UI were too small when playing on a big screen TV at 1920x1080. For anyone else who can enjoy a similar setup, could you try it out and let me know if they fixed this?

If not, is there a manual fix you can do in order to customize the text window to be bigger? FFXI had a fix like this, so I'm hoping this follows suit.

Also, does the PS3 chatpad work with this game? If so, I may use PS3 controller+chatpad.

Thanks I started reading the thread backwards and found a link for the patches along with a youtube on how to do it.

Question: Do they charge you only once for creating an extra character or do they charge you every month as long as that extra slot is active?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Okay so I finally got this thing installed and patched. Before I do anything should I go register the bonus items?

Yes. You must register the items before you create a character if you want the items on that character!

 

[Teknoman]

Does the maintenance effect patching?

We are experiencing congestion of player characters in certain areas of the Gysahl World and the Lindblum World, in addition to the worlds mentioned in the previous announcement. Due to this, character creation on these worlds has also been suspended.

We will inform you when character creation is reinstated.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience.

*Character creation is suspended on the following worlds.
- Gysahl World
- Mysidia World
- Figaro World
- Lindblum World
- Selbina World

In other words, only the worlds from the best FF games.

 

[Cathcart]

Did a lot of running around to night to go find a friend in a different city but I made some progress. Got carpenter to 8 and botanist to 7. Still haven't picked up a weapon :lol

 

[hgplayer1]

saw this on the Lodestone for those of you who selected "register new account" when registering your XIV code.

If you happen to register new service account during the transferal from FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test, you will not be able to transfer the Player Character name and obtain in-game bonus item.

If you participated in the FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta, a FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Service Account should be present under your SQUARE ENIX account. This FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Service Account can be transferred to the official release.
* Note that this FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Service Account by itself does not allow for play.

Once you enter the registration code included with your game, you will be able to choose whether you want to transfer your FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Service Account to the official release or if you want to create a new FINAL FANTASY XIV Service Account. Please take care not to select the option to create a new FINAL FANTASY XIV Service Account unless you wish to lose all character information tied to your FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Service Account.

Please be aware that if you register any bonus item codes to your FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Service Account, you will not be able to redeem those items unless you transfer that FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Service Account to the official release.

In case you have registered new service account by mistake, please wait until the application procedure on how to correct the registration is announced.

Does the maintenance effect patching?

you should be able to patch it via utorrent even during maintenance. did you ever use that during beta?

 

[nataku]

Is Lindblum even actually up, or am I just pointlessly refreshing the server list by hitting previous/next a bunch of times?

Edit: Fuck. Just saw Tek's post.

 

[Teknoman]

Nope, I downloaded most of the patches directly from Gromph's site. After that, the downloader started working perfectly. Now, for some reason it got to 51.2 and then just keeps timing out. I could just download the entire patch from XIVcore, but I thought after my positive update experiences around the final part of the beta would carry over to early retail.

gah
already too high rank/level to restart now
not that good anyway.................

 

[Kintaro]

So...should we wait or should we all migrate to a new, lower populated server? =P

 

[Teknoman]

Personally i'd just say wait. All the servers are probably going to be packed sooner or later.

EDIT: I guess i'll go ahead and manually download the patch, but I really hope this wont be the solution to go to for every patch.

 

[QisTopTier]

Thanks for telling me about the iso download link Looks like I will be able to play with my friend now

 

[Kintaro]

So, will we be using GAF as our main forum? A thread in the Online forum? Or will someone set up a separate forum for us?

 

[tenderoni]

Well, can't play the game on my computer as planned... Can't rationalize buying a new computer for the sole purpose of playing this game. I already registered my game code with SE. Is there anyway to sell the game now? Or would I have to sell my whole SE account?

 

[NeoForte]

I don't see an option for hardware mouse. Was it really added? Or did I read something wrong before?

 

[Teknoman]

Do you have the most recent patch? If so, it should be in the start button -> FFXIV config menu.

 

[NeoForte]

Oh I see. Just installing that right now

 

[Shouta]

My Rabanastre call seems to be right! Though, I don't have the game yet.

 

[TAJ]

After registering my codes, the game now won't go past the SE logo. It shows the logo then goes to a black screen and stays there. Awesome.
EDIT: Now, it's still giving me black screens, but with a pop-up window that says, "Unable to detect DirectX device. The program has shut down. Please restart FFXIV.".

 

[QisTopTier]

Me and some friends are playing on rabanastre, nice to see some of gaf is gonna be there too =D

my friend is a conj named Pope Benedict

he's a old man conj :lol :lol

 

[jiggle]

anyone making a gaf shell at rabanastre?

 

[Munba]

I'm going to Rabanastre with my LS too, at this point. :x

 

[Feep]

This sucks. SE's fuckup is going to split GAF in twain. = (

 

[kiryogi]

Nice! I guess I can still access Lindblum Yay for playing open beta. see you folks in a few. Actually, who's on right now in Limsa?

 

[mileS]

Nice! I guess I can still access Lindblum Yay for playing open beta. see you folks in a few. Actually, who's on right now in Limsa?

I wasn't in the beta It just let me join Lindblum I now have 2 characters there. Did it about 5 min ago.

I'm in Limsa right now I just logged to change a couple settings.


LINDBLUM IS OPEN TRY AGAIN!

 

[Munba]

Almost actual numbers:

Mysidia 2610　　　　
Gysahl　 2390
Selbina　　 2260　　　　
Figaro　　2200　　　
Cornelia　　2150　　　　
Lindblum 2400
Wutai　　　 1800　　　　
Istory　　1080　　　
Besaid　　　1050　　　　
Fabul　　1000
Rabanastre 1747　　　　
Kashuan 1096　　
Melmond　　 975　　　　
Saronia　 900
Palamecia　1153　　　　
Trabia　　1531
Bodhum　1000

I remember the maximum capacity per server was 10.000 (i'm right?). So i think they closed those server temporary to distribuite better the population in the beginning.

 

[mileS]

for the new page.

Lindblum is open again I just made a character 5min ago.

Restart your PC.

 

[Flynn]
