it's really random. i'm sure i haven't played more than 20 hours. i got the game just in time to meet the legacy requirement.

Friend of a friend signed up last sunday, had no active account and got in on Monday (Europe).
They're mocking us, Jinko.

Don't worry. The community ghetto is hidden from all prying eyes and is

Reported thread to SE. I will not stand idly by and watch this go on!
Just found out today that my bro in law got in. He was a huge supporter of the game since launch so I was actually glad for him. I felt kinda bad when I got in after roughly 5 months back and hes been playing for 2 years and got passed over.

I don't think there's been an effort to coordinate at this point..
I wouldn't mind partying up with some gaffers

I'd like to know this as well. I went to Moogle, but don't have any particular attachment to my test character.
finally official combat video!!
Nice, thanks!
Looks really good (other than the 34 exp per kill bit!). Can't wait to see more from the beta and when it is actually out!

They're getting 34 exp per kill because the monster is lv 8 and the player is lv 15 hehe
If it was on-level or higher, you'd be seeing exp chains building giving up to a 50% exp bonus per kill at chain 5.
He's quite a bit higher than the things he's fighting and quests give monster xp.
Those skill and spell animations look great. Love the brush stroke feel of some of the strikes. Wish I was in Alpha so I could check out the Bard skills
No thanks. I used to feel similar about MMO combat systems needing to be more actiony along with the need to remove auto-attack, but I've come to appreciate a slightly less frantic pace. Playing several faster-paced MMOs and MMOs with no auto-attack have made me realize this.
For what it's worth, the global cooldown is actually 3 seconds for abilities on lancer. You can see this in the tooltips when those abilities are highlighted.

Gonna miss Tera combat... looks great none the less.
I'm thinking things will look a bit frantic with those huge flashy effects flying all over the place in a full party.
Also I think that giant QUEST ACCEPTED text with the accompanying fanfare will get old pretty soon. Especially if that's going to be the main way of level progression.
Having said that, it's soooo pretty..

I doubt that the global cooldown will become any lower. Remember that battles have to also cater to gamepad slowpokes.

I don't know about frame rate or whatever but this Alpha looks better (the environmental lighting goes a long way) and runs just as smooth if not better. Though, a lot of it could just be design. Softer colors and the fact that the Aetheryte camps are all pretty detailed and unique definitely help the aesthetics.
Quests are set out much better now, glad there is a choice of rewards, game is shaping up nicely.
P.s. Its the 6th here and I didn't get in again.
Yea it look pretty influenced by FFXII.

No, the mails are still not send.
From what I can see there are no Combo's in the Alpha version, that will speed things up once they are back in (assuming they are coming back)

Lancer has Combos; the other two don't.

That would be a huge understatement. Performance is through the roof compared to the previous incarnation and I have everything maxed at 1080P and 60 FPS.
It's beautiful and so much easier to read than the old interface. It even changes dynamically at times like when you're reading a letter the edges will change to something like torn paper (am I allowed to say that? lol).
I actually enjoy reading all the NPC dialogue now, which is very well written, more entertaining, and a lot more succinct. I found the dialogue in 1.0 to be uninteresting and very long winded at times. That's not the case here.
Archer has combos. I haven't discovered any on Conjurer yet. From what I have been reading the combat will probably evolve quite a bit from now until the end of beta.
