If anyone comes across an extra pc beta key let me know. I got in but my gf did not and Id like to snag her one before the weekend is over. Can trade a Dota 2 key if there's even anyone left that doesn't have one.
on W7 they are in Documents\My Games\FF14\screenshots
btw does taking screenshots freeze your game for about 1-2s? or is it just my pc?;

Is this a PC port or which platform was this made for?
PC first, PS3 second.

Thanks.
Yeah, it's interesting/good that the token system is cross-content. That should definitely help incentivize people that have "finished" content to go back and help others with it.
Ultros only this weekend. Sargatanas next weekend
As long as the little clock in the upper right-hand corner is spinning, it's loading. It can take a while.

Honestly, I feel like I must have done something wrong or my e-mail got lost (yes, I checked my spam folder) or something. Here's my situation:
Bought, registered, and played FFXIV 1.0 Collector's Edition (not Legacy though)
Registered the FFXIII code
Pre-ordered FFXIV 2.0 Collector's Edition for both PC and PS3
Applied for FFXIV 2.0 Beta for both PC and PS3 the day sign-ups went live
Have been in FFXIV 2.0 Beta for PC since the first day of Round 2
Currently subscribed to FFXI
Downloaded the FFXIV 2.0 trailer from PSN
All of these things done on the same account
Yet, I still haven't received an invite for the PS3 beta.
How is that even possible? Any one else in a similar situation?

Did an interesting test during lunch:
Used chrome remote desktop connected to my home desktop and booted up FF14 to see if it works... apparently it worked pretty well. I won't call it completely playable, but it was definitely something that I didn't expect.

Pretty much same here. I have PC beta, but not PS3 though. However, a friend of mine received her PS3 code about an hour ago. I think they are still sending them.
Thats pretty awesome. Careful though, I wouldn't make the video public on youtube just yet. They haven't released NDA for video and/or audio yet. I also have a ton of videos sitting on youtube that i can't release =(.

I need to stop checking this thread. The wait for a beta code is killing me, and this thread is making it worse lol

The NDA was only lifted for screenshots, it seems.
No NDA on impressions phase 3+, no NDA on pictures Phase 3+, but NDA is still in place for all previous phases (Alpha, beta 1 &2) and no audio or video is allowed.
Yep =/. I am just posting a bunch of screenshots in an album (link at the top of this page in the thread).
After a certain point in a crafters level you can partake in a quest to open up materia melding. On specific pieces you will have 'sockets' you can attach materia too and the item level will determine the max cap of stats you can get from a certain materia. Materia comes from a variety of sources but the primary means is spiritbonding to 100% converting the piece of gear to materia.
If you have ever played WoW, its like jewelcrafting and socketing, except only crafters can affix materia, and you get materia primarly from converting old gear into it. The materia you get is going to be based on the 'type' of gear. Crafting materia from gear that has crafting stats already on it, tank stats on tank equipment etc. Some of this is new info and you can find it on the lodestone, they just put a new article on how they function in ARR compared to 1.0.

LOL, I created my character on Ultros without knowing GAF would play there 
I'm kind of a noob though (haven't played MMOs since Lineage 2). Can I post my char name here and be added to some kind of group or does it work on a session by session/party basis? I tried the PS3 beta before, downloading on PC now.

I fit into most of those categories except the 2.0 beta and being subscribed to FFXI. I didn't get an invite for either PC or PS3. My buddy I was gonna play with got one for PS3 and didn't do shit to get it. He has been teasing me about it all day. That said if anyone has an extra PS3 code, I would gladly take it. If I ever get an extra one emailed one day I will pass it on to someone else.

Hello!
I have a question. Does a quest limit exist?
I completed a quest and I can not accept the reward, I only can decline it.
Thanks.
Edit.
Dumb me.
I had to chose my reward

Well to answer your first question there is a quest limit
but obviously you hadn't hit it yet. Think it was 25 or 50, can't remember which off hand since I haven't really been on since phase 1 of beta. Planning to join the fun/server frustration later tonight after I get done with work. Got two beta characters ready to go unfortunately I wasn't lucky enough to get PS3 beta code like I wanted. I'll get it in phase 4 I guess.As long as needed (according to Yoshida) but if I was to guess, about a month or slightly more. There are 3 test phases in... phase 3, which they want to perform before they go longer testing phases to test server durability which alone could take a week or two to test properly.
Original Character importing won't occur till next weekend at the earliest. The Legacy servers are not live for this weekends test, its primarily a test of the PS3 client with all the new elements added.
More info about that should come out sometime next week.
