Ahh thats too bad, you can always give your Account to me :D

[Charismatic]

Exactly, if anyone's fed up with it... I could always use an account.
PM me, I'm not kidding.

Im kinda interested to see if there are any interactions or basic strategies between jobs during combat.. Kinda like SATA in 11 but hoping they have more fun/interactive ways of combat like that. Thats a bit more down the road though I guess.

Also testing weapon/combat range. They seem to put a lot of emphasis on the range of different weapons/classes but I couldn't really see anything during Pooky Poo's feed. It looked like he was just kinda running onto the mob and attacking.. not moving around or anything like in FF11. But the video was also poop quality and choppy so it's hard to tell. Is there a difference in damage? Is a melee mob or player more likely to miss a target that is farther away i.e. pole arm vs h2h?

By the way, for the guys that wanted to see the Arcanist's Guild, there's a screenshot of it from the JP earlier today. There's like a telescope or big compass or some weird thing, along with a microscope, in the background. They also appear to have some strange weapon on their back, but I have no idea.

edit: Actually it looks like a metal staff from a different angle, the top of it is just really weird.

This is an Alpha test so the range and where you attack from probably isn't implemented yet or something along those lines. I doubt that even things like party versus enemy party isn't even implemented. During Beta phase 2 i think we'll be seeing these things but for right now i don't think so.

Could someone during tonights NA test please get a picture of the /sea window (or whatever its called in FFXIV).

well the direction was build in.
i remember in a video or picture that it said that the person was attacked from behind so i think it might be implemented already. the mobs do move around alot tho

Search functions aren't in the Alpha.

Or it could be just the "chat indication" is implemented, But as far as the "effects" nothing yet, Idk.

Fourty-Five minutes until NA and this thread has gone 30 minutes without a bump.
How frightening

[Sereal_Killer]

could be.
how much longer till NA test?
im in EU lol dunno if i can stay awake

Hmm you would think they would have release Life in Eorzea episode 2 by now considering all the info we have.
atleast that way we can hopefully get an HD version of the game.

EDIT: LOL thanks falcon

Most of what could've been posted today hasn't even been worth posting, so the lack of bumps are understandable. Empty day *shakes fist at server sync problems*

[qpoiuwer]

If someone could figure out what the different between weapon skill and weapon proficiency skill is, that'd be cool.

[Cairthenn]

If someone is planning on doing a private live stream tonight, I'd love if you let me watch. Contact info is in profile, can PM as well. You can trust me not to do anything stupid obviously, considering I myself am breaking the NDA to begin with.


If anyone recording videos or taking pictures wants me to host them, I'll gladly do that as well.

[Cray]

Anybody gets any new links to streams, videos, etc. please PM me

[Ashton]

I'd like to know a little more about Archer.

Misuto Vapira nocks 2 arrows.
Misuto Vapira nocks 3 arrows.

^How this works most specifically

The Great Mother demands this as well. See my avatar? She demands it.
