The 360 Beta

[plake]

Easiest way to me seems now to do the elvaan goldsmithing quest. She asks for either a copper ingot 100-150g from AH and you get 180g back, or she asks for a silver ingot which gets you 2200g back and costs you 1000g.

I'm lvl8 now and making money mostly so I can start my casinoNVM....
I totally forgot how frustrating levelling rdm was without a subjob and being lowlevel.

Guys additional content ID's are free. So lets expolit this

Is that in Bastok?
Name of quest?

The Elvaan goldsmith. In bastok markets you can run up a flight of steps in between the armor and the weapon shop. If you take the door to your right you'll find Michea she asks for a copper ingot. That quest is repeatable.

Do this quest untill you can hand in the silver ingot. The silver ingot quest isn't repeatable but who cares you can just delete the character and do it all again.

Thanks man.
Damn, it's like it's asking to be exploited!!
LV1 with 50k here I come!

I don't have the time at the moment because my boss is stressing me to get some shitty programming done but if I had I'd be exploiting my ass off. Don't forget to zone in between trades and don't fuck up the copper ingot market theres other people wanting to exploit this.

Heheheh, no worries. I know the AH game.
I don't have the cd yet. Should have it tomorrow at the latest.

post more pictures of the graphic quality, I wanna compare to PC and then to PS2. Hows the FPS? Have to assume its not like PS2 that goes to SHIT when theres more than 5 people around.

I'm suprised how good it looks. You can't really tell from cheap SE shots like mine, but the movement is clean, everyone has high detailed shadows, and the eviroment is nice and clear - on PS2 I hated it because of a few reasons... 1. you couldnt see mobs or ppl far away 2. it's like they didn't use antialiasing for anything on the ps2, everything is allways jaggy and shitty looking - if you play PS2 I would suggest this upgrade because it's like playing a high end PC, and if you have a HD TV, thats even better for you.

zomg FFXI looks so hawt on Xbox360... once you fix the gamma. But it really looks amazing and it's sooooooo much better looking than the PS2 version.

So now the burning question is:

How can I hax my Xbox so I can connect to real servers and my own account? Someone was talking about this in the beginning of the thread. Any progress? I don't want to go back to playing on crappy PS2 for the 6 months until official release.

You think so? Ignoring the gamma issue I really don't think the game looks that much better from those screenshots.

Someone (Zigma) hook their Xbox up to their moniter via S-Video (or better) and take some real screenshots please.

Well see as I was fighting it, he came unclaimed - a JP named Hinty came outta nowhere(shout out to Kujata) and stole it.... so, yeah...

Hydra definitly is NOT the only Beta server. There are other servers being tested right now but i cannot say whether or not they will implement them into the regular rotation.

I absolutely think so. I just hooked it up and installed it. Textures are the same, pretty much, but the draw distance is much, much further. And everything just looks much sharper than the muddy, jaggy PS2 version.

But perhaps the best thing about the Xbox 360 version over the PS2 version is the text boxes don't take up 75% of the screen! Even if everything else looked the same, this would make Xbox version > PS2 version. Smaller font ftw.

BTW, you can adjust the gamma in Config > Gameplay, I think. I pumped up the red and adjusted the blue and green and got it looking pretty normal. Too bad I don't have the equipment to take decent screen caps.

Now someone make with teh hax plz.

Here is what FF looks like on xbox360, these screens are at 1080i or better (Better as in maybe 1 or 2 are taken from my monitor) They're all widescreen but FFxi360 takes them at 4:3. It's too late to change them to 16:3 (maybe someone else can do it)
And don't direct link to kill my bandwidth, As i'll just change it to goatse.cx and get you banned from whatever forum you're posting them at (PLZ GAMEFAQS!!!)

As you can see, they look very good but unfortumatly, POL is gay and the screenshots come out at 512x384.

Now, I took out my Digital camera and took a few pictures to show a serious problem that they need to fix when you use high rez on 360.

Ingame Screen 1080i, I can't see SHIT.

Keep in mind the reason you can see the text on the computer monitor is because they are semi-zoomed in. Stand back about 15-20feet or so.

Now, before you say my HDTV sucks, You can suck it because every other game I play does not have this problem, the in-game text/gfx are clear/crisp as fuck (EA's Fight night, NFS Most Wanted to name some).

I bought This, http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/258837.asp and It helps (sharper gfx etc) But by using this, it's shows that they are making FFxi360 to be played on a TV.

Conclusion: If you have a 360, And you also have a PC and have been playing the PC version for a long time already, Stick to the PC.

Sorry for the big screenshots.

Now someone make with teh hax plz.

I was planning to check what ports data gets transferred to from my network and my xbox360. I think theres something encrypted in the headers of the datapackets being sent out that lets the server know its an xbox connecting to the server.

Its either that or the contentID system for the testservers are stored on a separate database. The server only allows content IDs from that pool to be connected to the server. Perhaps the regular polviewer has different loginserver IPadresses hardcoded into the application?

It is a mystery.
