FFXIV Random Speculation/Question thread III: Where's my beta invite?

[darkepyon]

Did you make this face?

Spoiler: show

Because it's a glorious face.

I know I did. I doubt I'll get to play tomorrow morning since there's the task of downloading the game followed by patching.

I've heard about utorrent and whatnot, and also some posts saying it's not necessary. What settings other than the FFXIV ports should I know about to improve download times? Also.. think the game will run on a Nvidia 9600 GT with 256MB of video RAM?

Zeo, you lucky cat! Congratulations. :3

Is the Alpha downloader the same as the beta on or did the beta one get a new downloader?

I think you will have trouble running the game with that setup since the minimum requirements state 512 vram... The ports are also posted in the front page of the beta test site

I would get started today if i was you. A couple posts up said they already added some of the testers. If not i would find a friend and beg for the installer.

New downloader

New dowloader, you can wipe everything related to the alpha from your pc

Just have a thought.

The augment system in FFXI is pretty nice and I really like it.

Instead of throwing away the gear you earned, you improve it over time and keep it even when the level cap is raised.

I hope they carry this idea to FF14 endgame.

I completely detest what they did with the Augment system in XI. It is a pain in the ass to get the best gear in that game (I like that), but then you have to enter a lottery for bonus stats on top of that? That's simply fail IMO.

Sure if you're able to get some gear, then upgrade it using quests or new NM bosses that's fine. If it's luck involved though, no thanks!

If you were invited today you should have access to beta test site now so you don't even need to use your google or forum searching skills.

I still can not enter it and it is not showing that I am in beta when I check my SE ID account.

If anyone could PM me the link for the torrentfile I would be gratefull.

6,000 invites just for NA and i didn't get mine either, geez...

Any of you know how often they do these invites waves ?

Let's say i was supposed to get in for some reasons i can't point out, but since i didn't get it, i'd like to know how often they do these waves.

Thanks.

6,000 more accounts have been added in the last half hour (on NA site at least) for a total of 12,000 total added today.

[GavinBandura]

Hellooooooo, if anyone can help this retard out, I'll be happy. I always used an NA SE ID but made an EU one to apply for ff14 beta forever ago. Just got an e-mail today saying 'welcome to beta blah blah' but I cannot remember the SE ID or pass for the life of me. Is there anything I can do? The reset password thing is useless for me, I think.

Thanks!

no invite im sad

[Podginator]

If 6,000 were just added might take a while for the invites to come out. Who know?

[qpoiuwer]

6,000 more accounts have been added in the last half hour (on NA site at least) for a total of 12,000 total added today.

Probably covering ~8,000 people that never played/don't play anymore.

There's really no set dates for that. I wanted to say every test now at first, but seeing they added 12k today I don't think they will send invites too often now.

Anyway, I'm happen since a friend is letting me use his account that got invited to beta today :D Since he got like 1 or 2 more since alpha >.<

[darkepyon]

Zeo, you lucky cat! Congratulations. :3

Funny part is I seriously didn't think I'd get in because when I signed up, it was before my old PC crapped out on me back in February.

[Infini]

Put in your email and it will reset your password not sure about what you can do to get a user name back though.
