[FFXIV] Open Beta ends the 19th; Wutai server! Server change for live?

Feels Good Man

I used the torrent files and put them in uTorrent, then I put the patch files in my patch folder.



which is what you should do for every patch because Square's patcher is fuckin garbage.

For the record, the patch added hardware mouse.


:P

Day one purchase. All my current complaints are null and void now that I can work around the clunky interface.

Feels Good Man

Hardware mouse is there, but the lag still is too. It's awesome that they listened and seems promising, but there are still a bunch of issues




but ya I'm buyin it too

user

Also I've had to do that with my patches to my boot file and not just the client. Boot file updates are red windowed, client updates are blue widowed.

Greg USN

hmmm unless the bootloader is 1KB my utorrent is fail

Feels Good Man

The boot is like 97 bytes. So your utorrent isn't fail



the patch is 10 megs

Greg USN

ok shits working now. torrenting the game patch now.

Greg USN

wow... dled the file... patcher says... "preparing to download version file" patcher = fail

Meister

OMG this hardware mouse is great.

But...I still can't connect to the world server ;_;

Feels Good Man

even when you torrent the files, it still runs the patcher and checks it. but it should go almost instantly

Greg USN

and now its redownloading the same damn file i already got... jesus christ

edit: version file stuck at 84% even though i torrented... god damn

Feels Good Man

did you put it in the right folder dude


look where the file originally was, in the d patch folder or the b patch folder

Tenex

finally I got in! Rolling on Wutai! Anyone else online at this godforsaken hour?

Meister

OK so I actually got to playing the game, and I'm a mage. When I click on my skills, it then says select an area...
If I'm locked on to an enemy, what do I press to just do a skill on him.
Basically what sequence of buttons do I need to press.

edit: also I lied, my mouse is still laggy.

Has to go inside the patch folder within that d folder replacing the patch produced by the update.

Saban

I got DL failed errors a couple times.

If the mouse reacted like the screen where you hit start, the controls would be golden. It's frustrating that they don't give you an option between software or hardware mouse. It makes a world of a difference for the whole feel of the game.

Patch notes.

Linky

At the following time, a new update for the FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version went live.

[Date & Time]
Sep. 6, 2010 at 2:00 (PDT)

[Affected Services]
FINAL FANTASY XIV

[Important Update Details]
- An issue where the game will forcefully shutdown in case multiple effects are being displayed by a mass number of characters has been addressed.

- An issue where the ripple effect is displayed improperly in case the character walks near the water has been addressed.

Archonex

That first fix makes it sound like they fixed the crash in group bug that was preventing people from doing Leves.

Feels Good Man

disregard, they didn't add it after all! looks like custom user fix I did didn't get fucked up by the patch. lucky I guess.

Careful you don't post about that in-game or on the official forums (When they actually let people post there again...). SE has a habit of banning people who mod their games, even if it fixes their horrible bugs.

PikaPuff

made a character finally. a miner. gridania is the best intro . but huh. not liking miner intro quest. and then i crashed when it started raining. I might just go war/mage and never craft again

Silent Tristero

I see a lot of people lamenting the lack of information regarding stats, leves, levelling and the other basic systems in the game. It may be worth pointing out that by locating the nearest aetherytes crystal on your map, you can access a 'Tome of knowledge' (Can't recall the exact option) from there. It covers most of the basics.

Including what stats do.

Str - Physical Attack
Vit - Physical Defense and HPs
Dex - Physical Accuracy
Int - Magical Attack
Mind - Magical Defense
Pie - Magical Accuracy

I don't know which one of those adds MP's though... if the pattern holds, Mind? Kinda makes sense.

Silent Tristero

My only generally negative experience so far, was my Ferry trip. The impressive-looking vessel pulled up to the dock with remarkable accuracy, and I was then subjected to an unknown quantity of time aboard an empty deck. It felt like hours, and whilst the sun shining on the water was initially pleasing, an impenetrable grey fog descended and sucked that one small joy out of my trip. A vaguely visible landmass was beginning to appear in the fog, but I never saw more than a faint silhouette. After a black loading screen I was unceremoniously hurled onto land.

This didn't fit in with the 'Grand Adventure', cutscene-led experience I've witnessed thus far. I can only assume it is in some way either incomplete, or not fully optimised. My graphics configuration is Medium/High, so I doubt I was spared anything intensive or spectacular for that reason.

Meister

Bleh, I ran the game, got like 20fps. Put it on all the lowest settings, still 20fps.

I have 4gigs RAM and a GeForce 9800M GTS. Is the game really this intensive?

Saban

Whats with this bullshit tournament that apparently i lost even though i got the fucker to 0 health and beat on him for about 2 minutes before i ran out of health myself?

It's a quest you're basically supposed to do at level 1 before you have any actions etc.

Silent Tristero

Oh, also, I cannot take screen shots. I was told to hold ScrLk and PrtScn, I tried just PrtScn, neither worked - empty clipboard, and empty 'Screen shots' folder in the FFXIV directory.

Just_Bri_Thanks

So we have seven unknown people in the fourth post.

If any of those are you, please speak up.

jogernaut

Wow, I got hit by a terrible bug. I got disconnected by the server maintenance last night and when I logged back in I'm lying on the ground like I'm dead but I still have half my hp and now it's not letting me return or teleport.

I'll probably just reroll.

Grundlestiltskin

So after getting back in the game this morning it looks like the game rolled me back a couple hours. Lost a bunch of xp. Oh well.

Defenestrator

Anybody on what wants to gimme a link pearl? Brock Fistfighter is my dude's name.

Just_Bri_Thanks

It doesn't really matter at this point.

funkydue01

Anyone in Ul'Dah that can invite?

Sure, but you kinda need to tell us your character name.

In the process of creating Krenoad Darksun - is there a preferred starting city? I seem to recall reading about one, but can't remember which it is.

Well it does sort of depend a bit on what sort of crafting you want to do and what class you want to play. There are different guilds in each city. For example. The lancer guild is in Gridania, while the Marauder guild is in limsa lominsa. But the Goldsmithing guild is in Ul'Dah.

Hmm I think I may put a list together tonight for people.

Just_Bri_Thanks

You should know that that this isn't like the situation with San d'Oria/Bastok/Windurst. You can get from city to city easily with no combat. Just a bit of legging it.
