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

[Gulkeeva]

Cool, thats what I was thinking but I was wondering if there was a way to do without fraps.

Well print screen -> opening a image editor program -> paste works if you want the "other method" (which is incredibly slow)

although fraps and pressing F10 for pics... i like doing alot better !

[Gentaro]

Well why would they implement a screenshot-feature if they don't want anything of the beta posted xD

[Senji]

they didnt

"My friend is in FF Beta and he couldnt play it for more then 10 mins, he said the controlls were horrible.

The game is made for a consol controller, not PC, the character turns clunky, like if you press left and right mouse buttons the character turns left and right until you release it, also threres no jump.

the character turns strange, like its delayed.

and ofcourse that it takes 10 minutes to kill a little monster becouse the battle is so slow

gonna try the game on his account and check for myself, but if its something i cant stand its bad controlls.

I wont play a MMO that doesnt have good keyboard + mouse movement

also he said the quest givers were spamming the little chatbox instead of a seperate window

to bad, since there no mmo comming out until next year..and im BORED "

my message to SE: just give up, you cannot succeed with this

Just have those regional leves at the camps they are for...

I deffinately agree with this, seems odd that they have NPC's at the camps and don't use them for this.

Picking them up from both the camp and drowing wench would be even better.

Don't go in with any high expectations of a revolution in the MMO space and you'll have fun for a couple hours.

So when are the servers going back up? And where can I find this information in the future?

In 10h30min.
On tester forums.

Physical level has a very small effect on killing monsters, even gathers/crafters gain physical levels from crafting and gathering.

So physical level does indeed increase through crafting/gathering only? Mentioned it last thread and it seemed general consensus was that only your crafting level increased. Info from people that hadn't even tried it I suppose.

One of the forums with BETA in the title before the sub-forum divider.

Is deffinately the case for Miners, it could have been changed since Alpha of course, so maybe thats why nobody was aware of it.

Primary gathering methods gain both physical exp and class exp (mining/logging) while secondary methods only gain class exp (quarrying/harvesting). I dunno about crafting. It should be noted that secondary gathering methods are significantly faster than primary methods as well.

Indeed. And yes, you get physical exp from crafting too. I got some while Weaving.

[Aleithilithos]

Synthesis gets primary exp as well. In fact, I did synthesis 6 times yesterday, got about 500 or so XP each time, and only got skill points on one of the synths, despite them all being successful. Did get me 863 skill points, though.

Like any new mmo, you need to get used to it before your "good at it" , didn't take me too long to get used to how the controls worked personally.

Other then the slight pauses as mentioned for all ati cards, the game ran pretty well for me.

Character... turns? maybe change directions quickly yeah theirs a slight delay, I think its supposed to be like real world where when you run 1 direction, you can't immediately change to another direction and slightly side.

Monster killing.. get levels, hit harder.. kill faster. it was same as ffxi when you first started punching mandy's/worms/bee's for 1-2min because you couldn't hit it etc

overall I'm liking it, especially the miqo'te emotes... sounds like moans which is hawt

I dunno about you guys, but when I mine I get physical level exp and miner class skill points, i.e. both physical and miner levels raise together.

are they going to fix this issue? I thought it was just me, because of my shitty g.card

[SephYuyX]

I didnt see anything wrong with my ATI card aside from the lag everyone else was having.

[qpoiuwer]

I have an ATI card and didn't really notice pauses that would be caused by it. Really the only slowdown I had was caused by new NPCs getting within draw distance of my character. It seems to struggle with characters a lot more than landscapes. But once the characters are drawn once, it was mostly fine.
