Phase 4 impressions / discussion thread

I'd say the biggest fail SE did is to set these up during weekends when we all know it's impossible to contact SE staff.

This lol

Well played.

I'd imagine, though, that there's still at least one or two panicked employee who locked themselves in the bathroom with headphones.

[Raldo]

I'm a little surprised that they haven't at least rebooted the NA servers (assuming that would remedy the problem, until it happens again), since there's just soooo many people having the problem, but that's about all I expected.

[Katlan]

So I guess they did reply on Twitter, though nothing is known at this time more or less: Dunno if it was posted before, sorry if already was

The Beta Test errors 3102 and 90000 are still under investigation and unfortunately we have no new information regarding them at this time.

Server is full has nothin on 3102

no worries, now that he's finally in the game, he will get 3102'd shortly.

this isn't some little bug btw, ppl should be annoyed that something like this is still going on. Major game breakers like this should be out of the system by now but they have these short ass test periods that give you very little info.

[luxv]

What's fucking hilarious is that I just got a Square Enix customer service satisfaction survey in my e-mail. Awesome timing.

At this point it's obvious that 3102 isn't going to be fixed before the beta ends and they probably just want to get everyone out, shut servers down and fix it. Hope they have a lot of coffee at the SE offices because those guys aren't going home this week.

Truth. I'm concerned that 3102 is spreading like wildfire.... the OF post grows anything you hit refresh and we're nearly at 17k... Another thing I'm curious about what was everyones ping in the beta? My receiving always was 2-7k o.o hope that is lower come EA.

[Seiji Okita]

The reason they didn't bring the servers down for the fix is, I imagine, the short time of the beta. The proverbial shit storm that would follow when everyone attempts to log in at the same time would be more pain then it's worth to SE.

ok i keep having this issue about once every couple hours where my screen goes black and its like the UI and everything is reloading, when it comes back my fps feel like they are about 5-10. If I alt tab out for a few the fps clears up and everything is fine. Anyone else having anything similar?

[Shuichi]

Pretty much this. Feel sorry for the SE team. I hope they really love their work. But since I was unable to log in, I got some much needed cleaning done.

[Purrrfect]

On the plus side, Ultima is totally not crowded at this time of day, if you're just looking to fart around or try out a different race/class.

[Dathus]

Just waking up this evening, and I'll be joining one of those lovely clubs...

^ There's a far worse club than that one, friend.

This sounds similar to what it does when the display driver crashes mid-game. But I never saw it recover to the original fps, not that I really let it sit long either.

[Day]

fps back up to 60 after alt tabbing, but yes it does feel like vid driver crashing. I wont worry about it for now.

Best part is when the game loads then says nope... and tells you servers full.

Oooh I had that, too! I was like "Yeah, time to play before wo-"
"LOLNOPE!"
...At least my Lancer's 20 and my Pugilist is 15. Pretty much set-up for when the game goes early access.
