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

[BlackheartX]

Don't fuck with me, dude. I would shit all of our pants for a Mime class, but that's just crazy talk you're talking.

As would I.

[Kachi]

Not sure why you'd need a Mime in a game where the class system pushes you to use skills from other classes as it is.

Also Mannequin = Doll != Mime

Classes are never about need.

Though I personally need one because I lubs it. You have a point, but the idea of using the abilities that my party members are using and only those abilities is very appealing to me. There's so much potential for strategy, and the mysticism surrounding the class in the lore is pretty awesome too.

I don't mean something mimicish wouldnt be cool, I just mean it's pretty much already in the game.

Blue mage is something I would kill for, perhaps theyre saving it for an expansion being as everyone creams after it so much

Unsurprisingly, looks like there's still a ton of log in issues for Japan.

Wow that sucks. People say Second test was more stable then first alpha test, lets hope people say third test is more stable then the second. Slightly more stable is progress

[Roscobel]

i'm not even trying anymore.. i'll wait till they fixed it.

[Spira]

there was still a ton of log in issues in general.. but this was less prominent due to the fact that the game itself was more stable.. so people wouldnt be d/cing left and right and needing to relog again.

Only d/ced (game crashed actually) once the entire time and it was at the 3h30m mark, which was impressive to me. In that sense it was a lot more stable.

JUST POSTED ON THE BETA SITE:

As of today's version update, the time in which players have to attempt to login while maintaining their position in the queue has been changed from 3 minutes to 10 minutes. Also the current position within the login queue will be displayed.


*"status" shows the current position within the login queue(39th place).

In case the player receives "Error Code: 1007" and placed in the login queue, repeated login attempts within 10 minutes will allow them to remain in the login queue. Therefore, please try to space out your login attempts by more than 5 minutes. Once the server is ready to accept new logins, those who are placed in the high order of the login queue will be allowed to log in. Please keep in mind that trying to log in repeatedly will not change your place in the queue.
With the maximum login capacity, its restirction will deregulate as time goes by.

* A real-time display of the current queue and a feature that will automatically attempt to log the player in when the server is full are currently under development.

Is today another alpha day?

[CaledorImrik]

Not sure if this is a joke or not, but on 2ch..

Notice of today's α test (4 / 15)
Currently, the server has failed to stand the prospect of recovery, bon appétit Today's α test will be terminated now gentlemen.

Inconvenience to everyone, but, thank you as you acknowledge it.

Bah. You translated.

[CaledorImrik]

Sorry, it had english in there too, but for some reason it cut if off, i took out the japanese so should be fine.

Edit: I don't speak/read japanese XD Google translated it ^^

[Loaar]

There is nothing on the EU test forums about it, sounds like a troll.

He was talking about the Japan servers...

[CaledorImrik]

Seems it crashed 1hour after the test started, so some testers got a couple of fights in, some never managed to login at all, wonder if the EU and NA tests will be called off, or see if they crash too?

[Jinko]

Heh 28 possible jobs, and here I was thinking they learnt there lesson with FF11 and stupid balancing issues.

well half of them are crafting jobs

[Spira]

its today?

[CaledorImrik]

Yep. It might be bad translation, but i think some of the JP testers said that even tho it crashed horribly and was cancelled, it was a little smoother today.

I really would hope in the 5 years they've been making this game that they've managed to provide some good balance :D
