I can't wait for the wave of beardhurt about Legacy players lol.

Good news though, glad to hear it. Wasn't really expecting to hear much until after New Years.

The interesting thing is it never mentioned whether alpha players get a free ticket. I guess SE are still undecided.

As much as I'd like to see that I kind of doubt it.

Phase 4 carried across to Release... Hmm this seems somewhat odd. Will we have full access to our characters by then. I presume by our 1.0 characters being imported its not just for testing and rather that our characters would be stable and fine to continue even when release comes around or do you think its just a chance for new players to get caught up somewhat?

**Lucavi** · 2012-12-26 14:22

Hmmm... Manthra with an afro or manthra with a frohawk... Decisions, decisions.

**Ratatapa** · 2012-12-26 14:29

People asking dumb question on fb without reading the road ap

Not surprised

Female Roegadyn with a frohawk and a penis.

Pretty sure the first day of beta testing for me is going to be spent struggling over character creation.

Now that I think of it, there hasn't been any in-game screens/footage of female Hyur Highlanders has there?

Nah I'd make a Male one, all black, named Terry Tate, and try to run around with a fro and no weapons so I could Office Lineback the enemies into a pulp.

"YOU KILL THE JOE, YOU MAKE SOME MO~!!"

Agreed. I wonder just how popular the male cats and female galkas will be. The masses wanted them and I'm sure they will be some of the least used gender/races.

**Arximiro** · 2012-12-26 17:45

I don't recall any mass exodus of support for female Roegadyn. When they announced that I recall it pretty much being a wtf reaction. I'm a Roegadyn myself and I would have been fine to never see the women of my race, lol.

**Churchill** · 2012-12-26 17:48

cool

Game is going to be as usual 60% female miqo'te 30% lalafell's 9% male miqo'te, 1% every other race, expecting no changes.

**Churchill** · 2012-12-26 17:56

something to feel bad about for sure

I'd love to know this. It says characters created in Phase 4 are carried to release; what about 1.0 characters imported in Phase 4 (i.e. additional progress made on your existing 1.0 character during Phase 4)? Either way, Phase 4 is effectively a 2-3 week headstart program.

I got annoyed once I saw the Drg AF with female and the hole in the middle. Trust me, I love mithra this time around, but I'm sick of armor being scantily-clad just because its a chick. If they offered two models, I'd be all over them, but I want my Drg AF to look like Drg AF.

Just personal preference.

**Churchill** · 2012-12-26 18:07

could always play a dude or not wear af at all

The alpha sign-up said getting alpha access did not guarantee you beta access, and while that's not a complete write-off, I took it that way, especially given how many Alpha testers they let in there at the end.

I vaguely remember some setting that is only for female Galka... maybe it was super ex plus bust size? There is some sort of carrot that exists.

edit: Here you go:

**Sephiroth** · 2012-12-26 18:55

I want to know what the game is going to look like on max settings vs mid. Those were some huge specs they mentioned. Here they are again for those who missed Rocl's post.

- HighEnd Core i7 3.5GHz / GTX680 / Windows 8 Pro 64bit
- Mid Core i5 750 2.66GHz Radeon HD5750 Win 8 pro 64bit
- LowEnd Core 2 duo 3.0GHz 8800GT Windows 8 Pro 64bit
