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

sometimes randomness can be a bad thing....

I'm not having -much- imput lag when fighting, but when using Weaponskills, the old school lag is RIGHT back. You get locked in your animation just like the good ol' days of FFXI, so if the mob starts running away when you WS, good luck trying to catch it!

Edit: Loving the profanity in the game. Hilarious writing.

Okay speaking of " I'm On A Boat ". If anyone can take this song from this video:

and add it to the opening benchmark/FFXIV cut scene with awesome timing, I will give you a buddy pass from my CE. Oh and the Galka has to be T-Pain.

For everyone, here is a lil trick how you can raise your % Chance to get on the Server you want.
Bigges Problem, you need more ppl to block your name on the other server.

- Get 10 ppl (for 100% Chance)
- everyone use the SAME name
- push "Yes, create Char."
- the one who is on the right Server delete the Char. and the 11th will be directly on the right one.
- Continue, till everyone is on the server you like.

You should be in 2h with all 10 ppl on the right server. *caugh*
Anyone got a better idea?

There is a better way but not releasing it now, but if you're skilled with Artmoney it's not very hard.

Extremely sorry if this was asked before but does anyone know if casting spells onto others require first and last names?

Last I heard they were still working on a system for sending tells and macros and such to make it where you can use only one of the names. First or last iirc. Its in an interview, I think from e3, they give some examples.

[sruon]

So, not sure if it was said but it costs Anima to teleport around, 4/100 used for Beard Rock etc

Really hope the server random shit is just for beta, if it goes live....ugh. I'll hope they learned from FFXI about why people hated this method.

It will be selectable..SE wouldn't backpedal with their new MMO >.>

Not a whole lot to do outside of craft once you finish the first quest chain considering SE nerfed the leve respawn time to once-a-beta testing night.

Lotta rumblings in-game about the lack of low level mobs available for the bored masses.

"start" from first screen:

13001 lobby server connection has encountered an error
Error code: 0
Status: 0
TIMEOUT

So frustrating, played fine during alpha.

Rebooted modem + router.

Same message I get when not connected to the net.

Yeah. After the first Main treasure quest chain + leves there isn't much to do but explore.

[mintyice]

Let me try?

[el_tio]

Let me try?

lol it'd take you an hour at least to get all the files anyways.

Speaking of which, I might just reinstall.

Did they say anything about this new timing structure for Levequests on the site? They can't possibly intend to implement once a day for live, Levequests were supposed to be the big thing, the bread&butter content so to speak.

Is this just implemented in the beta to encourage players to not play like it's a full time job? This has me a little worried, but reasonably skeptic.

Maybe they just wanted people to test all aspects of the game instead of spending all their time grinding.
