maybe you have a very small client but for us with normal sized clients the server is simply to tight to penetrate.

Is there any chance of SE slightly lowering the spec requirements to run this game come retail time? I know the beta requirements are high, but won't they optimize it somewhat once retail rolls around? Basically I'm right on the fence of not being able to play this game and I'll be pissed if I can't just because I missed the mark barely.

They already lowered from alpha to beta, now youre just getting greedy ;p

game will continue to be optimized, but if your alrdy at the low tier its gonna be suggested to upgrade.. because any further optimization of the game engine isn't gonna make somebody who could barely play, be able to ply w/o worry

I mean I'm right on the edge.

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4ghz
2gb ram
GeForce 8800 GT 256mb

I'm going to try to get another 2gb of ram before it comes out.

[LinktheDeme]

Are the servers supposed to be up now?

this ^

Were the servers up the other day? There was no post on the main forums about it

[mastamind]

If there's no post assume its not up, you know someone will want to be the first to copy and paste the announcement from the beta forums.

[Jinko]

From what Tanaka said at the Japan-Expo they will be keeping the same days/hours as the alpha test for the first part of the beta.

Except for the installer. They upped the requirements for that from "works if you meet requirements" to "crashes inexplicably."

That's what I keep telling myself, at least.

[Falcon]

I don't meet the requirements for Beta, and I installed perfectly fine.

Wait till you start to play.

Spend that upgrading your GPU instead. I ran the alpha fine on 2 gigs ram, win7 64 bit, and it's more requirements-heavy than the beta is. You can get a great 1gig 57** series for a lil over a hundred bucks, which is around the cost of 4 gigs of quality ram.

[Kongolo]

um i downloaded the installation file ~100 MB, and installed it.. but the game keep giving me Version update error. :/

and ideas? much appreciated dm(^.^)mb

[FriemOcin]

Wait a second, why are we all installing the beta? Were we all invited? Should I read the thread? http://images.bluegartr.com/forum/im...ns/mmithra.png

[Hyan]

I invited myself.

Also wtf @ no date announcement yet, this is simply unacceptable. Everyone has the client already, let's get the ball rolling gawd.

This is the worst possible thing you could do to your sanity.

Self entitled much?

[Kurokikaze]

Not necessarily self entitled... but seriously wtf. Probably won't hear anything till Sunday/Monday; thats if they plan on starting next week at all.

The Beta is a lie.

[Hyan]

Everything I say is being taken too literally today.

All signs point to Saturday the earliest now!
