FFXIV Random Speculation/Question thread IV: I got beta inv but my 5 year old PC can't run it

[Ghostsix.Midgard]

ntioned that the replenishing ability would cost MP, was that implemented or did they forget about that aspect?

Unless it's my imagination I remember seeing another ARC skill datamined way back in the first thread that said something to this effect.

[supercoco]

yup, the patch is very small

[sruon]

ALT+TAB still crashes

Patch link if your client really blows

Spoiler: show

I think this is what it did:

--- Added: 07/15/2010 ---

- We have updated the game such that the log messages for the following items will no longer be visible to other players:
・ Changing between active and passive modes
・ Beginning a Battle Regimen
・ Engaging an enemy
* Messages conveying that an enemy has been engaged will be visible to party members.

thought 1h30 left to be able to play

[Gokulo]

Actually 3 hours to the next test?

[sruon]

Yep, 3 hours and 15 minutes.

@ Hyan

On July 14, 2010 at around 23:15 (PDT), an updated version of the FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version client was released. Older client versions will be updated upon launching and connecting to the server.

Details on the update will be announced separately.

No one else is getting an error at 38% when installing the update file for this latest patch?

[Hyan]

Somebody on the EU forums had the same problem. Don't know why.

@ Hyan

Wouldn't the changes I quoted also require some kind of update to the game?

Nope.

[Achitophel]

Weird. Did it a handful times. I just rebooted and now it's fine. Thanks for the quick responses all the same guys.

Don't know, could be server side for all we know :<

[Celeras]

I think this is what it did:

That was added to the list earlier in the day before the patch was launched.

[Ridingbean]

the dodo's are awesome... their like stalkers, they stare/follow you around haha

I think Komoto was talking about them in an interview ^^

Komoto: We want players to focus on how they engage a monster. In FFXI, you would just kill one after the other, but now there are party vs. party battles which demand players focus on tactics and strategy. This is just something I found funny, but there are monsters that will stare in your direction. So, you might think "What are you lookin' at?" and smack them only to find out they're ridiculously strong. (laughs) Even in regular battles you will find yourself in wrapped up in all sorts of situations. I think that's something people will really enjoy.

I hope they'll have more monsters behave in such characteristic ways.

[Gokulo]

Heh, such a big update... ._.;

- Amount of crystals needed for synthesis has been reduced.

- World selection is now available upon character creation.

- Priority of the character display has been adjusted.

- Parts of server processing has been improved.

[Zubis]

Heh, such a big update... ._.;

Might this be a part of it as well?

- On certain AMD (ATI) graphics cards, the FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version may run slowly.
* Partial measure has been implemented during the Jul. 14, 2010 version update.

[Hyan]

If I understood it right, they have solved these issues as well?

- "Guardian's Aspect" affects only Disciples of War.

- There are times when an error may occur causing you to be logged out while trading.

- On certain NVIDIA graphics cards, character graphics may display incorrectly.

[supercoco]

they better give us some kind of synthesis list/NPC , because trial/error sucks

[Biggie]

Same thing kept happening to me, would crash right at 38% on install. Reboot fixed it.

[Loaar]

I want to kill some people on the EU forum right now....

How %@$%ing hard is it to understand that GMT doesn't change.

Seriously.
