FFXIV Closed Alpha/Beta Discussion (Cancelled for this week)

[ScGr]

Thats wrong.

The different colours on the map denote different levels. you just have to go up or down via a ramp or elevator to reach the other areas. The arcanists guild is very accessible.

Yeah. I figured the doors all lock out one entire level of Lominsa.

Ok. So some one needs to post pictures of the Arcanists guild.

[Sereal_Killer]

I think thats where passive traits come into effect or when you reach a certain level you will get an auto +100 hp or something like that.

I got to level 3-4 and did not see any new spells learned unless there was something I need to click or add in order to learn it.

RAWRRRR nobody listens to me... I posted this shit 5 days ago...

You just open up abilities, and click an empty spot. It allowed me to set Red Lotus as number 3 right next to Slash and Stab. I tried tellin Pooky, but they not even respondin

[Jinko]

Hopefully those with high physical level won't be preferred over those with low phys. level in that case. Sucks for the new guys.

Well normally you would always pick the guy with the subjob in FF11, kind of the same thing really.

[Hyan]

Hopefully capping your physical level will be as easy as leveling to 18 in XI...

I wouldn't like that either though!

[BRP]

Hmmm... Do we have anything to go on concerning guilds? What's their purpose?

[Satyr]

If you were a level 10 Conj Physical 10

And you switched to a Lv. 1 Thauma Physical 10

You'd have high int and it'd make levelling an absolute joke, or you'd have massive HP to the point where nothing would kill you

The guy said your Attack, Acc, etc changes when you change classes, but main stats don't

that's why I'm led to believe that say.. STR for example will do nothing directly, but will scale attack depending on your class level, that'd stop you from 1 shotting everything. 1 STR may give you 20 attack at level 10 Thauma, but when you switch to your CONJ maybe it'll just add 2, to give you a little edge, but not make you overpowered.

^This, I remember reading that if a DoW wanted to hit better with a sword he would have to add points to AGI, and if a ranged DoW wanted to do more DMG he would raise his DEX.

I could not figure out how to set an ability for the life of me. Maybe I'm mentally impaired. Maybe.

[Vacht]

I kind of feel like its pointless to consider all the info we're given as real info, mainly because it makes me want to play too damn much and i dont think about anything else in the world. But also because SE said everything can possibly change at the end of alpha/beta.

Lots of things just weren't working tonight unless you relogged, then you could play login roulette for an hour.

[Jinko]

Things are going to change, but they aren't guna change completely.

Come Beta 1 they are going to let a whole lot more people in anyway, there is no getting away :D

I just dont want to have to go thru everything when i want to speculate on something.
im also not sugeesting these are the final game facts this is just info collected from alpha that so far.

its also ezier to just use a list like this when people come and ask whats new lol.

besides i need to keep myself busy so the waiting doesnt hurt as much and i prefer to do something productive and not start another pointless Wow vs FFXIV , Jumping , FFXI-2 etc again lol

I listened. I tried. It didn't work.

[Seanr]

I listened. I tried. It didn't work.

you probably did it wrong then >_>;;

I opened up main menu, went to abilities, clicked empty spot on the bar, all my abilities were there (although it was only slash, stab, and red lotus.) I clicked red lotus, it went to the empty spot i clicked.

yeah, i think im just bitching about not being able to play.

They said buy a new PC. I'm not joking. I can't remember it exactly because I don't have access to the alpha site but it was basically "If you can't run Alpha, we regret to ask you to upgrade your system. Thank you."

That was, as you said, just in reference to the alpha. They are not going to release the graphics sliders and other tweaks just for a few people when many things are unstable at the moment (on top of it not working for specific video cards at the moment, which obviously they can't instantly fix). It was a "you get what we give you, if you can't run it, find a computer that can." Once the game is more stable, they'll be able to add more variation to the testing, which should both lower and higher end machines run the game better.

or, since it's alpha, shit's borked. honestly its 50/50 what the issue is at this stage, imo.

[Wycor]

after the second alpha test, this is my opinion (I made this while spending 3hr+ trying to log on):
