Does anyone know what this means? I was happily exploring when the game crashed and this appeared.

it means that the game will be very unstable and stay that way for a long time until SE actually focuses on bugs and runtime errors instead of eating their roasted chocobos and getting fat!

Well, if you do the next two steps in the Treasures of the Main, you get 100gil so you can use that to purchase a weapon if that's the route you wish to take. Otherwise crafting leves are there for you. The current problem is that its not unheard of to see all Rank 5+ leves, making it virtually impossible for you to complete them. This is something that SE will need to fix by adding Tutorial leves to the Local Leve lists to get you started. The tutorials for the Battle and Gathering leves still a ways to go, but they are at least there.

Right now, Crafting classes are more there for you to start with those "looks". Otherwise you just gotta get lucky to get the right set of leves offered.

Is there any official indication if the market wards will be separated by city (I assume?) or if they are a central zone that all cities can get to?

Anyone able to login into beta site? I was planning to put up some more rage feedback today before the phase 3 ended. But I keep getting the message "Only beta tester allow to login into beta site" message.

**Nama** · 2010-08-23 22:11

What phase were you added in? If i recall correctly newer keys given out didn't let you access or leave feedback. If not the forums working fine for me atm.

Worked for me, now I just get the usual crash with no error crashes.

phase 1.

Anyone having any server issues tonight? I've had a ton of plain crashes the last few days, but tonight I'm having actual server error disconnections that keep booting me, then the lobby is busy when I try to come back. Earlier we had a party of 7~ people going and I appeared to be the only one getting booted, and I still appear to be every so often.

**xopher** · 2010-08-23 23:43

According to a friend of mine on facebook(he has connections on the inside), all three nations are going to be opened up soon for beta testing.

Donno if this was mentioned earlier in the thread but I'm too lazy and sleepy to search.

So tired of my shit getting frozen when talking to NPCs. First it was the crafting NPC at Bearded Rock Camp, now the Bearded Rock Battlewarden.

...and again... the general text box has the dialog, but the NPC-specific dialog box goes empty and since there's no ">" arrow to press enter for, it hangs up...

Have people received anything from the battlewarden fights other than a little gil? I got like 180g, but I had died twice at the very end.

Also, is the Ambient Occlusion applied to only players/monsters or the entire environment as well? And can -anyone- run it without severe FPS destruction?

I had a beastcoin drop from the kobald boss, i posted a picture somewhere earlier in the thread.

Has there been any word on what's going to change in the Open Beta? I know the Gamescon version of FFXIV was the Open Beta, so I was hoping for a bit of early news.

- /sit emote functional
- UI is still the same and still laggy
- All 3 cities (obviously)
- you can /check people
- macro's working

that's just a small taste.

Was the Gamescon version the OB client? Do we now that?

The game on the big screens there (which I assumed was people playing, but it might not have been) had characters in their level 40 gear with only 600 HP at full. The version we are playing is different to that, and the version the press saw in San Fransisco recently had level 40 characters with 1200ish HP.

Was anyone there at Gamescon and can confirm?
