FFXIV Random Speculation/Question Thread XI: "How you liking that Beta Phase 5?"

[Sephiroth]

How do you view people's stats on the Lodestone? When I search for a character name it just brings up their character name and picture and nothing I can click to see more.

Edit: Nevermind.

[Senji]

So...got my new PC coming Thursday. Is the CE worth picking up for the helm and other little shit, or should I just grab the NQ version then?

Standard = 1 copy

CE = 2

Security token is $10 if purchased separately.

Items are a wash and dont really matter.

[Kartis]

You could always, push through the surplus, it's not really that bad.

I must have missed this source, link?

[CasualPlayer]

@ Hyan, where did u verify the first version/content update was going to be in Dec.?

Edit: After years of reading this forum I finally make an account just to ask that question and someone beats me to it lol.

[Gadritan]

Standard = 1 copy

CE = 2

Uh, what do you mean 2 copies? Literally two discs? I forgot about the token being in there too.

Although that's a content version update. They might do some smaller/larger adjustments earlier than that.

Are you just using some bullshit math you pulled out of your ass?

[Biggie]

So after this update when I open the client and hit the play button, I get the SE logo, then just a black screen. After restarting PC had the same problem. I closed MSN messenger and now it works fine.... Anyone have this issue, seems kind of odd to me..

Are you just using some bullshit math you pulled out of your ass?

Yes, like always, he is. SE has said nothing about when the next update will be with new content. They did however say a while back they hope to have updates every 3 months. I assume that is where he is getting his info, but still pulling it out of his ass. If you give a source where they said Dec. I will stfu

Uh, what do you mean 2 copies? Literally two discs? I forgot about the token being in there too.

Not sure what he means by 2 copies either. CE has 2 discs, 1 game disc and 1 making of DVD. Maybe he means the buddy pass which will allow a friend to use without buying the game? I would assume the standard would also have some type of buddy pass, but maybe its just free trial and still have to purchase the game?

[Sephiroth]

SE isn't going to wait until X time just to add new content. Not now anyway, the game needs so much adding to it to keep players and they know this. Logic would predict a big update before Christmas and one at PS3 launch but I'll be shocked if we don't see any inbetween those.

[Lucavi]

SE never said when the first update would come out. They said they hope to update every 3 months.

In a perfect world, they'd roll out a sizable content update for the 30th that fixes a few more bugs, but we'll see.

[arshesney]

Stuck at the Initializing network screen, are servers up yet?

[Senji]

1 set of discs but 2 registration codes. Friend can borrow discs/torrent/dl off internet to get game installed.

[Gadritan]

Oh yeah. I'll sucker someone into splitting it then so I can get the token/helm and still pay less than SE.

The Buddy pass is a legit Registration key for XIV. Unlike a trial pass, you never have to purchase a retail copy.

[Sephiroth]

Anyone know what this patch fixed/changed?

Edit: Nevermind, they just posted it.

[Important Update Details]

-An issue where “Godsend” could be activated while gathering has been addressed.

Maybe reread my Quote? That is what I said lol...

When I try to use Enjin to make a sig, It says char not found.... Anyone else?

[Ksandra]

So my nameday thing I picked when I made my character happens in like 4 eorzea days. Is there anything I am supposed to do on that day? Like an npc to talk to to get anything. Or do made skillups or something?

Just curious if anyone knows if it means anything yet.

[Meko]

So, if it's a legit buddy key, does that mean that I only have to "sub" to play the game full time with the buddy key or does it still require me to buy the actual game?

[Katlan]

I don't know about all of you, but if SE doesn't plan to start rolling out worthwhile changes (not bug fixes) until 3 months.. i don't know how many ppl will still be left. I sure as hell wont

Give it a day or two for the lodestone site to update. If you can search your name on lodestone, but Enjin can't, your screwing something up.

Just need to sub.
