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

[Kaisha]

Oh, looks like the updater is using a torrent-style setup. >.>

GG for uploading more than I've downloaded so far. Thanks for port info, will try that out.

[Sirenia]

I want a beta email...this sucks balls.

[Falcon]

Hey, I got a beta email on an email I didn't even know I applied with!

How awesome.

Now I can stop using my friends.

[Ratatapa]

Hope you all die in hell!

[betatester]

Any EU beta tester can login to the site (of the ones getting the email today)?

No

[Omniyoji]

Maybe SE doesn't like Canadians? Anyone else here from Canada applied and got in?

EDIT*

that bluefan fag did! lol

You are too funny today XD

[betatester]

Also, the email said I can login to the site on the 13th, but I just tried and it let me onto the forums and everything.

I'm Canadian and got in.


And also, fuck this updater. Hogging all my upload bandwidth with zero means of controlling my up/down ratio. Going to just wait for a torrent at the rate this downloads so I can fucking use my net at least. -.-

[Evenstar]

You can use the torrent files the updater puts in your My Games folder. I am using those to download it with Utorrent.

The torrent is in there, you can just open it with whatever and be on your way. Currently using utorrent and getting 400KB/s

[bluefan]

Is it only supposed to be 3.35GB? Thought it would be more.

haha last time i checked 90% of downloaders were using utorrent only like 8% were using the original client XD

now... how the fuck do I "register the service account."

[brand]

Any EU or JP tester could tell us if they actually added more testers in other regions as well?

JP: 16 276 -> 31 276 = 15 000 accounts added over the course of 3.5 hours.

Yup thats the one.

Ya they're working on adding everyone at the moment so you might get lucky and be able to login today instead of tommorow.

Been answered quite a few time but your account hasn't been added by SE yet. You'll be able to logon on the date in your email.

You wait until tomorrow.

Also, if not using utorrent or any other torrent client you can always download programs like netlimiter or something to work with the upload.

[SephYuyX]

Yeah fug it. Offical loader is a cpu/bandwidth hog, and getting better speeds with utorrent.
