FFXIV ARR Beta

[Thief of Hearts Joker]

nothing from Phase 3 Carries over, Phase 4 carries all progress/items/etc. to the release unless something prevents it which is unlikely.

Open Beta is rumored to be on August 8th, may be earlier depending on when the staff gets done with fixes

really? so i can get to level 50 during phase 4 and that carries over to release?

I doubt we'll get to reach 50, at most we'll probably be capped at 35 for the beta like Phase 3, but yeah anything you do, quests, dungeons, etc. it'll carry over to the main game

well i guess i know what im doing for a few days when its up

you're talking to someone who was minutes away from realm first level 90 in wow

did you have a problem with responsiveness in the game at all? like moving out of the red circles and getting hit anyway?

lol I'm the same, I got to level 30 so fast I'm not even sure how I did it ._. I think if I spent another 5 days I could get back any and all progress I lost in Phase 3.

As for Responsiveness the game ran fairly smoothly aside a few times where I lagged when using skills, Moving out of Circles were easy depending on how big, for instance Ifrits Rings are hard to dodge after the Hellfire attack so when it pops up I use the Sprint Skill and run out of it, which works 90% of the time, as for other monsters I can normally stun them so I don't really bother evading.

Getting hit sometimes is bs, on the last day of P3 I was hunting Buffalos for my Hunting log but they were managing to hit me when I'm quite a distance away, I'm assuming it was lag. But outside of that everything ran rather smoothly

yeah thats my big problem with the game atm but other than that looks like smooth sailing

its like

if you react quickly enough you can usually get out of them in time, but kind of defeats the purpose of the cast bar lol. seems like every time i did copperbell mines someone got exploded by the bomb

 

[Thief of Hearts Joker]

lol bombs never really got me, I normally throw my spear at them to make them blow up at a distance or use leg sweep to stun them when they use their explode skill xD
