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

[Esse]

All hail Savior of the Internets, Poo~ err, Fred!

Sarcasm aside, thanks Fred. You answered a lot of the more specific questions asked here, and I am appreciative.

[Newber]

Bitch!

Really impressive.

Alright, this shit is getting annoying. Time for some REAL TALK.

Pooky Poo did not die for our sins. He doesn't really REALLY deserve a second chance, definitely not more so than any random fuck deserves a single chance. He traded his alpha account for 15 minutes of internet fame(it worked! people want to give him fucking accounts now!). Cause and Effect. I hope to god this is already understood. What he did was reckless. He is either very stupid or feels that it was worth it. I hope it is the latter.

If you want to give your alpha account to him, go ahead, but consider that there are people who:

-Gave us watchable videos, not laggy pieces of shit.
-Weren't retarded and could solve something as simple as "attack the monster" or "talk to the NPC" in less than 15 minutes. (Pooky had his entire chat room calling him retarded. Not smart enough to block people.)
-Explored properly. (And didn't die 2 or so times because stupid shit).
-Didn't AFK or make people watch them stay off the game for 2 hours out of 4. (while thousand watch to top it off - a real hero! but only dedicated 50% of the time?).
-Smart enough to block their names. (Or perhaps not greedy enough? Doesn't matter) They did a better job and didn't get banned - at the cost of being the first ones out of the gate, thus the most watched.

So basically Pooky Poo gave us crap, and got banned for it. So if you feel really bad for someone who did a poor job(and knew the risks) at reporting information, go ahead. But he didn't do us much of a service. His stream fucking sucked. During the space of four hours his "crap" was the only choice, but it doesn't helped he only played for two of those hours and did a terrible job when he did. In less than 24 hours his whole effort was irrelevant.

But fuck, if it would get you guys to stop riding his cock as if he was some sort of martyr of Blue Gartr(and stop you from trying to find the home address of PAPA ZELDA so you can murder him in your sleep, a week later), then I would actually advise it.

(What does a Pooky "deserve"? "Thank you. Hope it was worth it! Hope you get back in the Beta / or see you in FFXIV! Good day.")

love you babe

Confirmed! lol


Just have fun, and post when you can. We'll be here waiting on your arrival. I have tons of questions on this points system ^^

[Kuya]

Stop mentioning jumping. Stop mentioning sitting in chairs, oh my fucking god it's not like this is game breaking.

But what about jumping on the chairs?

[Khamsin]

One odd thing is that some people apparently cannot see any mobs (or the aetheryte in Camp Bearded Rock), despite there being tons of them out there, and unclaimed. They also complain about still hearing town music instead of field music. And several people around the aetheryte have grey names.

I thought the chairs were supposed to Jump.

[Cairthenn]

I was able to jump on the bed in my..mog house.

[Newber]

Has anyone played with a gamepad? Can you describe the controls, particularly in active mode? Is target-switching and faster from 11?

same happens with the crystal floating at the outside Area. some say "relog again" but thats bogus. just wait some time and it will load. Due to the Mob-issue: you really have to relogg.

[Devolver]

Trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls. What the good God damn happened in here?

[Corrderio]

Finally got everything reinstalled, no more errors after the last update, but my framerate is still pretty bad.

[Zeno]

In regards to the previous pages, yes, this picture does qualify as providing more insight to this thread.

I play with my ps3 controller hooked up via usb cable. has rumble and all.

I setup my controller like this:

D-Pad - navigates menus, switches targets. works the same was as ff11. when action menu is up, u can move the pointer around the different icons that are set.

Left stick - movment
L3 - Lock on target

Right stick - camera
R3 - Change camera angle

X - accept, enter, etc
O - cancel
Triangle - main menu
square - brings up action menu/closes action menu

L1 - auto run
L2 - activates chat log

R1 - switches between active and passive mode. the action gauge on skills/spells doesnt start until ur in action mode
R2 - brings up emote list

Why is there a hole in his pants? Of all things.
