I cant die from falls. You do take dmg tho, if it's a big ass fall you land with 1 hp.

That is cool, so glad you don't outright die.

Herp derp derp derp derp derp.

Funny that I saw FFXIV next to dat.

[dorkkaos]

it says september 8 release date :O

[Kipling]

Probably just a holding date? I know my local game stop has had it in september for a while.

[Rulke]

^ Yeah, (sadly) it's more than likely just a holding date. Sept release would be sweet though.

[Bombur]

These dates do not count anything actually as long as the developer doesn't announce a release-date officially.

September sounds reasonably, but I wouldn't hold my breath there.

FFXIV had a massive impact along the MMO community in all of the game developing nations, I am personally surprised that RIFT didnt get delayed a little bit longer for some polish but that games best claim to fame at the moment is that its not WoW where a decent portion of the community has post CATA blues, cant please all of the people though, its either too easy or too hard, finding a balance is impossible. Getting back to the MMO delays regarding the XIV flop is the fear of release, XIV had clear signs that it was in trouble but they were ignored, so a smart company is going to put off the release as long as possible so they dont lose face, even if the game launches with a few bugs itll be fine, but the catastrophic crash that was caused by XIV has them working very hard on polish.

I know for certain that while the beta might go on for a little bit, they will be evaluating and even scrapping portions of the game that dont go over right on the testers, and the heavy hours players will surely get a large amount of ear time to make sure their game isnt another wow clone but has enough of the good parts of the 800 pound gorilla to succeed where others have failed or been reorganized into F2P.

XIV will eventually get finished, but the game itself is being almost completely rebooted, even the main cities are being redesigned into easier to manage zones, the job system from XI is being introduced and large portions of the story are being re-written. Im honestly surprised that XIV isnt getting a complete reboot myself with all the changes but I actually feel a lot better about the guy in charge now, he took XI from a popular but same old same old game and converted it into a very popular fast paced MMO that as it approaches its final years, will leave players exhausted from all the content they burned through but satisfied because they did end up accomplishing a great deal.

I think TERA could really be one of the next big things, I truly hope they are putting the amount of polish they claim into it. That amount of work can turn your game from one that is remembered and relished from a community hungry for more.

Looks rather fly.

This is probably the most well thought out and insightful post i've ever read on the internet ever.

[Foxer]

Damn, you almost had it, too. Just fugded up on that lowercase i and double ever. DAMN!!!!!!!!!

Bah, guess there's no way to update information on your Beta app? Was thinking about it recently because when I applied I only had an old Nvidia 7600 GS. I had been thinking about upgrading, but it died a few months ago so I was forced to upgrade and splurged a bit. Bought an Nvidia 450 GTS which is a huge upgrade for me. I went from a card that most likely couldn't even play TERA, to a card that will play it. Not that the Beta app was specific in which card you had.. would like to change it.

I'd hate to have it affect getting into the betas. =/

[Kaisha]

Ok, I have to ask, what's the star-eye thing?

I would count on it changing the chances too much.

Star-eye thing?

[Kaisha]

Star-eye thing?

In Foxer's Erin screencaps.

[FriskUni]

it's an option for a certain eye set, like some come with pink panda tattoos on cheeks, swirls in eyes, etc
can also get things like pipe for popori, depending on what eyes/hair type you choose, you can select extras

panda cheek tats > star :3

[Cloudius]

In Foxer's Erin screencaps.

Oh. The last option in the character customization is accessorizes (or w/e). For Elin, it's two creepy eyes (including Foxer's eyes) and the 3rd opto is N/A. Other races have oher stuff, like I think female HF have a huge earpin on one of their ears, etc.

[Foxer]

FUCK THIS GAME.

[Cloudius]

FUCK THIS GAME.

u mad?

[Leashedragon]

I would count on it changing the chances too much.

I highly doubt it as well. Heck, I got into the FFXIV beta and couldn't run it. Was just checking if there was a way to amend the app that I just over looked.
