Mine hasn't been that bad.. but I've definitely spent a lot of time in the R 3k range during the last couple of weeks. I figured it was my ISP because I was getting the error 90000 non-stop last weekend and tethering to my ipad (verizon) offered a more stable connection...

When I've lagged during this test, it has been far more noticeable than usual. But overall I haven't experienced it too much.
The Character Benchmark will allow for saving appearance setting for the live client, yeah?

Yeah, it'll probably take effort to compete.

I didn't even realize that regular mobs didn't drop shards/crystals anymore. Thousands, upon thousands of shards/crystal/clusters are about to be locked away from me until transfers open up for my legacy character. Saddens me...

If you're going to be a crafter and you are starting fresh you really should be on Ultros with us.
At the very least, I will have an alt on Ultros. My girlfriend would really like to play with some of our old friends which have legacy 50s though. So... yeah. At the worst, I just play two characters and become a pure gatherer on the legacy one.
That's why I'm going to start fresh on Ultros.
This is also my other concern. lol

Who knows. Is why it's odd that we are avoiding the server with the other online gaming communities on it, but whatever.
The thing to keep in mind is that legacy players with most classes at 50 aren't really going to be competing with you for low-mid level market share when there is a more profitable market at level cap.
This could be true, I'm sure. Always profit to be made at all levels though. Still wary. =/

Because they are all at level cap and have infinite money. It's Squenix's fault we are being split up like this to begin with. There should have been a better solution than just copy and pasting people's character from 1.0 to 2.0.
True, but you tell me... If you were max level on a server where the average player probably has at least a few hundred thousand gil and little to no need to spend it on leveling, would you be spending your time trying to scalp new players who don't have much money or would you be selling high level material and gear to the people with money to spend?
lol
I think he means going to the same new server as Reddit or Blue Gartr communities.
Goddamnit, I posted in the other thread. I intended to post about the details from niconico last night. By the way, I think I seen someone refer to higeoyaji and Hiroyuki as devs, Hiroyuki is one of the founders of 2ch and niconico douga. Higeoyaji is kind of PR/自宅警備員
There's a higher setting for visual quality now, basically the maximum setting in P3 will be something like high settings in P4/release, or so it seems.
The new water being an example of this.
Hiroyuki also asked whether or not they'd be announcing the start of P4 during the next live letter, answer is yes and most people speculate the 9th (JST) start.

I would want to be as far away as possible from the server that had Reddit on it. I'm not sure why you would want to be around Blue Gartr either. They won't let you play with them anyways.
I wonder what server 4chan will be on, or if there will even be a 4chan guild for this game.
I forgot I signed up for this and randomly checked my secondary email account and had a code. Downloaded the benchmark in the mean time. Fully expected my system to be able to handle it with ease and it did. I got an average of 55 fps, 2560x1600, and max settings,. Going to start the client download now.
I've never really played a MMORPG before...where do things stand now with this beta? If I create a character will it transfer to the final game? Is there a tutorial section of any kind for new beginners like me?

I don't really keep up with either--where are they going server-wise for ARR?
There's an in-game tutorial as well as informative posts by the reps on the beta forums. Please read the stuff there for testing schedules, getting started, game manual, etc.
This is phase 3 of beta so any characters you make will be wiped after this phase (which ends tonight).
Ha ha...

It's funny how close my Beta character got at 22 to what my Legacy character'll spawn in at.
I'm sure that, if people don't gather, craft, and quest, then they'll be taken advantage of by the people that do.
Hm, thanks for the info. Guess I might as well wait until P4 before starting then?

I hope it has working AA.
They're both gonna be on Gilgamesh.

Welp, that's it for phase 3. Hasn't hit me yet but I will be in withdrawal for sure next week.
I didn't take a whole lot of pics this time but I got some good ones in the last couple days as I was getting sentimental about everything ending.
See you in Phase 4 everyone!

Carby! {found it!}
As everyone mentioned, The Sanctum of the Twelve is really beautiful.
But I think my favourite location I came across in my beta adventures was The Floating City of Nym. Absolutely breathtaking.
And, having fun, doing one last Cancer fight, and saying goodbye to everyone over at Cosa Del Sol.
See you in Phase 4 everyone!
I think mats and crystals are going to be a lot cheaper for a while on Legacy servers, though, which means it'll be easier and cheaper to level. And I think that means prices of crafted items will be lower for a while, too.
With Crystals only coming from Gathering classes, I think they're going to be expensive and in short supply on the new servers. Meanwhile, I have a few thousand of each element on me, like most legacy players. And with that glut of crystals in the market, that means Gatherers can spend their time collecting other materials.

Phase 3 was awesome. P4 can't come soon enough. At least in two weeks we'll be able to dick around with the new benchmark.
I'm going to miss my Milky Way.
We had good times, Milky. Like when you were going to protect me against harassers.

I'm willing to bet that in one month, a serious player starting from scratch can overtake most legacy players in both level and gil.
the players that have maxed everything are a very small minority. and I'm willing to wager most legacy players won't even have enough to buy a decent house when housing hits.
why is an established market such a turn off? there is nothing preventing you from entering the market. it's not like the high level players have a monopoly.
I didn't level any crafters in 1.0 but I intend to max out a few in ARR, and all I see is people with more money to spend on my wares.
Hmmm, you raise good points. Either way, I'm just going to horde everything I gather.
In XI, the JP players controlled damn near everything for a good two years (or more on some servers). On paper, I'm not a fan.

Haters gonna hate.
I've only heard stories of the influence of 4chan on a server. It's like having the goons on your server too.
