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

[Jinko]

whyyyyyyy do you pick such a terrible site

Aye, please use mediafire :D

but i'd rather get back to talking about some FFXIV

Shhhhh

[Biggie]

Another question:
Why does gear say for requirements Rank 8~ or something. Does that mean you can still equip it at lower levels but it's not as effective?

Lol....
So if it clearly says "Requirement Rank 8" what would give you the impression you could use it being lower than rank 8 and just be less effective...

Requirement Rank 8, means just what it says, Must be at least rank 8..

if i read the game manual correct (frome cairxiv site) u have to be in passive mode to equip new stack of arrows, or im reading that wrong?

Yes, you have to be in passive mode to equip arrows, or any other equipment.

On a related note. When archers run out of arrows, their melee attack sucks donkey balls. 1 damage =/

U actually get unlimited dl for free if u use Jdownloader with megaupload. It's just as good as mediafire.

question: are there any abilities in the alpha test for DoW's that requires MP use?

i was looking at freds pics and what he was saying about the conj. ability to replenish mp. apparently you can set it for another class after attaining a certain level? how early do conjurers get that ability? and would it be worth it to lvl up conj. just to have that ability for use with a DoW class (with less effectiveness im assuming)?

[supercoco]

There is something i've been thinking about.

We can't switch our weapon if we're in battle mode.
If we run out of arrows, can we equip a new stack while fighting?

Requirement Rank 8, means just what it says, Must be at least rank 8..

It says Rank 8~, not Rank 8. God damn people.

The replenish MP skill is conj exclusive. You can't set it on other jobs. Same goes for magic dart.

For Gladiator, Slash is glad only, while Stab is DoW or DoM

Hack, is Maurderer(sp) only. Trunksplitter (lv 2 axe skill) is DoW or DoM

[King Zuca]

How many drugs do you do? I have never heard anyone say that having your res on highest setting, and all other effects maxed, makes the game look "gross"...

Put the pipe down....

you dont think it makes the texture on low res games look too flat? i do. makes everything look plastic to me.

and besides, i don't do drugs, i dabble in herbal medicine

[Skeptic]

Just woke up like a hour ago, I stood up all night reading this stuff, lol. Did we get the next day for Testing yet?

[Biggie]

Sorry i forgot the sun shines out of SEs ass.



Source?

Read The Fucking Thread if you want the source!!!!!

ah, i see. thanks for clarifying. im wondering how important mp will be to DoW's, and how SE plans on going about having a DoW replenish his/her mp.
hopefully not solely through purchased items. that would piss me off.

I get what you are saying. Sometimes the 'hi res' makes the games look more like a picture rather than a breathing world. I, by the way, do not dabble in herbs of any kind (anymore).

[Folant]

Just thought I'd post and say thanks for all the screens, videos and info from everyone. Looks to be shaping up to be a pretty cool game!

Just one question though, I didn't notice it being asked and I can guess the answer already, but worth a shot.

Are you able to move the cursor at all with the joypad(analoge stick) and move the UI like you can with the mouse?

[Skeptic]

Fred, thanks for the great posts again, Question for you:

When you were putting points in to stats such as STR did it have a cap that it would stop at due to your physical level or did it just let you throw as many points as you wanted into it with no limit?

[Malumultimus]

I was always under the impression that Mediafire is worse than Megaupload. Big files need to be broken into pieces with Mediafire.

People kept saying Thursday.

But I wouldn't trust them...with their shifty eyes...

I think it's the same schedule as usual. NA 9pm est this coming Thursday. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Aka you can't prove it, if it were said 100x i a) would have seen and b) it would take you less than a minute to pull out a source. Think before you make shit up. And yes some of the screenshots of the world look worse than oblivion.

Good to know, looks like SE really does want it 3 Alphas a week. I'd say two more weeks of those then into B1 if things go smoothly, what about you guys?
