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

[Zerocool]

Yeah dude, I'm looking forward to the next version update about as much as I did in FFXI just so I can finally see how it all comes together and whether or not SE is really listening.

Yeah as far as I can remember, almost every version update they added in FFXI was pretty epic. I loved waking up on update days and reading the long ass lists of changes and additions and data mine threads. Can't wait to do it over again with FFXIV.

how is this different from being a black Mage in XI

No mp Regen. However I'm sure mages will be fixed, as far as mp one craft will make mp potions and you will buy them as the devs intended or find a crystal. If I have to buy arrows you can buy potions.

[Kurokikaze]

Happy? :O

Edit: Fixed. Let's not talk about that anymore. ;x

I hope the spells and physical attacks aoes only hitting mobs on your hate list is not a glitch, because that's a good idea.

Regarding the Login Issues and the Next FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Test

We would like to take this opportunity to provide an explanation on why we had to cut the FINAL FANTASY Beta Test short on July 21, and the plans we have prepared for the next Beta Test.

During this recent test, the processing of each world was going smoothly. However, due to the increase in the number of testers, the process that is associated with all worlds experienced heavy loads. As a result, the heavy load caused issues during the login and area change processes.

We are happy to announce that we now have a rough idea of what is causing these issues and we are currently in the process of making the proper adjustments on the server structure, along with performing internal stress tests. Our current plans are to have the test prepared after July 24.

We deeply apologize for the inconvenience this issue may have caused on the testers and thank you for your continuous support in this matter.

Sometimes, even I can contribute!

Imagine if every time you needed MP on black mage you had to wait for Elemental Seal to rstore half of your MP pool or travel to your home point. That is how it is different from black mage.

I agree, this sort of AoE is nice but hopefully it's anything your party has hate on and not just you because then you'd need to individually target each monster with an attack before you could AoE which kind of defeats the purpose of AoE...

Teleport cooldown? Return queues? lol

I dont play conj a lot, but yeah i was able to get aoe fire going, sometimes it seemed small radius, i dont really know why, but it was the case maybe its a dif of two handed or one handed weapons, but thats just a random guess.

Bout mp management i hear that you get a tp skill that gives you mp back. also int and your weapon effect the dmg of spirit dart, as well as the debuffs that make things weaker to magic (i think thaum has one) adding this up you should be able to do decent dmg and get mp back by using reg attacks and a tp skill. add to that whatever other mp management skills they will have, and a proffession that can make ethers as well as larger mana pools and the fact that there are really a lot of aetherytes, i think mages will be fine in the mp respect long term

Didnt know this was obvious, I ve seen many theories of what went wrong posted on the net, at the bare minimum they are claiming to understand the problem and said when they plan to have another test (roughly) personally i like info and wish they d give it more often.
now the real question is whether they will actually be able to solve it by this weekend

To be fair they're being more open about current issues than i experienced them during my ffxi days.

^ This. lol I don't remember SE ever saying "Sorry guys, we fucked up lol." during FFXI.

In response to AoE comment... It seemed to work well when the mobs were red. Not so much having hate on the mob just being in group with someone engaged on targets.

[Hyan]

Like that would even matter in the slightest.

Clearly everything in FFXI was completely intentional.

damned if they do, damned if they don't, eh.

[Hyan]

They should put some emotion into the apology. Also, why the fuck didn't the director post that message himself? All high and mighty eh, fucking SE.

hahaha

time for some animated gifs of unicorns pooping sparkly apologies.

[Metafox]

I don't understand all of this talk about apologies. It's their beta, they're paying for it, they can shut it down if they want to.

ONLY SEPPUKU WILL GET THIS GAME ON TRACK FOR RELEASE

[Kurokikaze]
