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

[CaledorImrik]

I think there's been a lot of problems for people with nvidia cards in the alpha, hopefully they fix that up.

A lot of people have been running on 2core, I think Pooky had 2core 2.8Ghz or something on his stream, I'm a cheap bastard so I'll go for a Phenom II 965 when I get mine.

As for cards, 5750/70 and GTX260 seem to be the most common I've seen from alpha testers, I'l be going for either a 5850 or crossfire 5750s.

King Zuca, man whats with the spam, can appreicate your excited to get new information but this shephard crap is worse than the guys who want to sit on chairs.

I would go for an ATI card personally, although Nvidia have a slight edge with power you get more bang for your buck with ATI.

I would look into quad core Intel Q series processors also instead of i5.

[Corrderio]

Dumb question but has cooking/food been implied in the Alpha yet? If so what effects do they give?

i mean were it up to me, i would have only posted once or twice about it. but people keep quoting me and replying with retarded shit. sorry i always got a response. im deff. done with the whole shp thing. but 20 bucks says someone will quote me on this and keep goin. *sigh* is that what people mean by trolling?

anyways, jolli, have some cake

I haven't seen any mention of it, but it'd at least be good to find out if food isn't "mystery meat" this time around... if it actually tells you in game what the effects are.

Culinarian is definitely in there, but they aren't emphasizing crafting in the alpha right now, mostly combat. I think they were wanting to test crafting soon but with the login problems, it's been delayed.

@Zuca: u is bein dum bro

im interested in the same thing. of all the testers posting images and such, i have yet to see someone testing out any of the DoH or DoL classes. don't know if and which ones are even in the alpha, but i see that as a critical testing subject.

Well Im looking at this baseline PC. I kept the CPU (i5 3.2 GHz) But upgraded to the ATI HD 5830. I did some other tweeks but those are the big ones. Also I was wondering about Ram. I stuck with the Original 4GB but I think thats too low. And the next upgrade is 160 bucks for for 8 which I think is to much. What do you all think?

(Also none of this is final Im just browsing around, ah and please no "Zomg Cyberpower suXorx BallXors" if you dont like Cyberpower please show me another site / better deal. Im looking to spend about 1500~ grand total on a new rig, PC monitor, everything. Buyers tips are appriciated.)

[Razdom]

Oh no Im not complaining reading the thread has been mostly fun I really enjoyed it. There is some nonsense and bickering but I did partake in some .

Anyway Im sorry if I derail us for a bit but Im looking into a new PC (finally got around to doing taxes woot) and checking out a CPU. Its an core i5 (650, 3.2 GHz) and according the the site this CPU has 2 cores, which is ok I suppose. But I can also get a Core i5 750. its 2.66 GHz and 4 cores. Now I dont do much but game and I dont run 2 games at once or anything. Mainly have a browser open + game + IM stuff (xfire / gtalk).

Anyway point is. Less cores for faster processing or more cores but less processing?

Another tech question. Im biased toward intel / nVidia but it seems like these ATI HD graphic cards are really nice what do you think I should go with? A nVidia Geforce GT~ 2xx card or An ATI Radeon HD 4xxx card?

I have an i5 750 myself and I can assure you it's an extremely good processor, especially at overclocking.

I have a HD 4890 to go with it and ATI definately does give you more for the money.

Now back to FFXIV...

Jesus christ, and now we're back to talking about fucking computer specs? Fucking shit, way to stay on target guys.

Thats because of blacksmith and Miners are testable in the Alpha, no others yet.

I've seen people doing blacksmith stuff and it seems kool.. I may try it out tonight and take shots.

Everything is cyclical - a few pages back it was back to jump/sitting and its myriad of haters.

[Meko]

Looks for this cycle to stay true too until the game releases! It'll go facts > speculation > assumption > computer specs > BRP > facts > screenshots > speculation....

Actually, I saw a vendor that sold "Meat Mi'qotbob".. Not sure how acurate that was, but i looked like Meat Mithkabob, but it was Mi'qot instead.. weird.. I didnt buy it though.. That'll be the first thing I do tonight..

Any other suggestions for me to test?

that would be awesome, im sure everyone would appreciate a little more light shed in that area.

battle regimens, dying to see how that works.

what do you think it says? i cant read japanese(sorry, i know its something more specific like katakana or something, dont want to be offensive, i just dont know.)

The test in Japan shifts to the load test early because the substance α test is < left to Europe and America because the tester of < Japan doesn't give only ..excrement.. reproof.

Nothing important. Just looks like they're saying the Japanese testers are shitty and all the real info is coming from the EU/NA testers.
