So far this is just pissing me off.
Everytime I try to log in tonight it just says 'undefined' and wont let me play and freezes up my PS3. :hmph:

The beta test is over for the weekend. That message means the servers are down. They will announce on the beta test forums the schedule for the next beta tests which will probably be next Friday til Sunday morning.
 
I had no idea it was going to be over so soon. Otherwise I would've played a bit more last night rather than going to be so early. Ah well.

So Phase 4 starts next week... hopefully the characters will be transferred over. I read that they're going to try to make it so that the characters made in Phase 4 will be transferred over to the game. Also, it'll be an open beta next week, no invites. So those who missed out, be sure to check it out next week. :)

Being in a party is quite fun, though it's definitely frustrating if you're in the PS3 and using the in-game keyboard to chat. :D I finally had to bust out my keyboard and hook it up so I can type faster and keep up with Stevie and kryceks. Great game, you two.

Hopefully there'll be more of us at the same time next week!
 
Whoa, and is just playing that open beta going to be free!? When does it start, where is it going to be downloadable from, and how long might it last? ^_^

Just to clarify, Phase 3 will continue next weekend. I believe it lasts four weekends so Phase 4 will not begin until July. They usually have us test the weekend and then they work on fixing issues during the week. So next weekend, we should be able to log into the characters we made and continue testing in Phase 3.

Ooh, well that is still good~ Could one download it before next weekend now though, so some of the precious time wouldn't have to be wasted downloading it when it could be being played? :gasp:

If you have an invite code to phase 3, yes. If you are playing on PC you just have to download the client (should be a link in your invite email) and launch it to download the game files. If you are on PS3, I believe you get a code in the email that you put in to PSN to download the game.
 
Don't know if you guys took any screenshots. I forgot to take any of our party yesterday. I did get some of my character on the other server I'm playing on. I'll try to post them after I get out of work today :)
 
Ah, thanks for clarifying! So the open beta doesn't happen until Phase 4 then, which is in July? Gotcha.
 
Aw, I don't have a code, I guess this will go the usual way for me and not work ou- gah, I know I shouldn't be that negative, I just am excited about this now, so it is frustrating, it is like "Look, don't touch" for me. D:
 
So how is everyone enjoying this?


My internet wouldn't of let me download it in time, and it was lagging bad as hell.
 
...

I honestly don't even feel like playing it anymore.

Not sure why, but I don't. I'd give out my Beta Code to someone if that was possible.

Actually, I'll just post my code here and see if anyone gets them working.

Quote me if it does work for you.

yeah, how it works is the servers go down, they fix the problem and then the servers go back up most likely next weekend, I also heard this time on the final test, the servers might stay up as long as a week!
 
Blast, I didn't realize it would be offline so much, either. Today was the day I planned on actually having a few hours to sit down and really get into it, but now I can't. Oh well. There's always other stuff to be done. Next weekend I should have more time when the servers are up.
 
That's kind of annoying because....it took the whole weekend for my game to download anyway :hmph:
Oh well, I'll try again next weekend.

question, are you allowed to make a new character or is it one character per person? Because I have decided I dont like my elf.
 
I've noticed that the lag is especially bad in Gridania. Limsa Lomisa had MOMENTS of bad lag, but only during gigantic FATEs and peak hours. Gridania seemed to be a laggy area in general with each "zone" - I call them zones because the only other MMORPG I ever played Everquest in the late 90s/Early 2000s...do they call each "map" something else? I am behind on my MMO lingo - being overpopulated. I guess there are very few Marauders and Arcanists around...I THINK that's what determines your starting point. Oh, and LL's enemies are much more difficult to solo. I am guessing to account for yall non-tanks in the other lands :p

Who would I contact about joining your Linkshell? We are building our own guild and already have 12 people on the Linkshell that we use so if too many are on YOURS, I may pass to keep from messages cluttering my text window. We're on Bahamut server anyways.

Maybe we'll see yall Friday. :)
 
That's quite surprising. D: I also did not know that the beta testing would be limited to weekends until July. ;__;

I think I got a good enough taste of FFXIV to know that I will definitely be playing the PC version (I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition a few days ago actually). The PS3 version annoyed me too much with the screens/windows and I don't feel like using a keyboard with my PS3. Kinda awkward without a desk.

I will most likely want to transfer my character and use her when I start playing the actual game. Unless that is not possible? I just wanna keep my same name, lol. I didn't level too much, so I wouldn't mind leveling over again.
