Hmm... i played AioN fine and im only getting 732 score from the benchmark xD

SE never fails to go beyond the unreachable in term of graphics.

Anyway, would like some recommendation on improving the performance



never bothered to do overclocking cause most games were running fine. While running the benchmark, it was lagging but loading fine. Would appreciate any helps i can get on this, thanks in advance.

Compare to other game out there ...

-The game has more depth
-NO leveling exp apparently so nobody will scream about the leveling curve
-All about completing quests as an individual or as a group
-takes forever to kill a mob despite their recent boost from alpha to beta. I know its alot faster now but it still consumes alot of time just to kill one, not to mention that those mobs sometimes run away for god knows why and you have to chase all the way from top of the mountain to the bottom.
-You can aim and break physical parts of the monsters (not every monsters though)
-Weapons/armors? will break (durability count) so you have to anyhow do the gathering and everything and they consume alot of time as well
-travel distance is very very far, i heard you get to ride chocobo and teleport in latter stage but you can start to train sleep walking earlier just in case. Environment is pretty though if you are eco friendly person.
-Regeneration is veeeeeeeeeery slowwww, only when you wield weapon. Off battle mode, its still not very fast but acceptable i guess.
-Some (*quest?)mobs somehow only appear for you, to avoid killstealing i guess.
-Skills have no awesome animation, which is good and bad at the same time. It makes the action space longer than it should be, considering its fast animation but lacks continuity as it's turn based battle system. In short, you might fall asleep due to the slow battle tempo.

Major playing point is the potential group play experience.
Major let down is how much a time sink the game can be. You wouldnt even notice if you accepted a quest to kill 4 of a kinds of mobs and another 4 of a different kind of mobs and it took you almost 45mins - 1 hour to complete.

Obviously, i need a huge upgrade to play this game when it is released.

Anyone in the beta can tell me whether they support low resolution; say, 1024 x 768 or not? If they do, can you print screen and paste the screenshot here? Would be a deciding factor whether to buy a new monitor or not cause the GPU and CPU upgrade cost me a huge load of money already xD ...

thanks in advance.

you still need the secure code @@.

Anyway, the secure code is those numbers behind the credit card. Why mafan xD? just type in only eh .

--------------

It seems like you cant jump in the game? i got that habit of jumping every now and then which i might miss when playing FF later on . Not like its any important though xD.

owh then shit ... guess my cards wont work then . They had been working on FFXI for so long and isnt there any solution on that?

Or we are actually supposed to register as an EU + PAL user?

Well, my friend says the EU thingy does not require secure code in FFXI. Only the NA region need, so if we buy EU box we can avoid those extra hassle. We'll also need to register SE account as EU. Well that's what he said.

And he says something about playonline. I don't know what's that ~

Nothing concrete until some official info is released.

most stores only order NA version so, we'll need to order online for EU. But that also means we won't get the box early as well xD which put the 7 days earlier to play option in CE to waste.

I am sure there's alot. Most flogging in other forums/existing clan sites.

Sole reason for people to play this game is because it is branded Final fantasy.

non PvP oriented makes it less appealing to those who loves pvp.

+ very little exposure has been done by the SE teams. Not many know about the game . It's up to the fans to spread the fever.

26 July. Waiting for it as well before i order my new rigs.

whats your budget?

Anyway, why get i7 860 when you can get i7 920 at almost the same price =3. Plus, 920 allows multi GPU incase you need it next time around. If its the GHz you are worry about, you can always OC the 920 one.

Well that also depends if your motherboard can support or not.

if you guys can wait, the price sure goes down. Plus, some shop are decent enuff not to eat their customer alive. RM399 is a suckup price...

Unit price = RM 259. Even with shipping fee shops mostly get them at RM279. and thats only for one unit. worst come to worst they wanna earn extra also make it 299 but 399? thats overkill eh.

me and my group of friends will probably make final decision on joining the game later on though.... since there is no pvp, everyone is concern on the game's actual fun.

i know, we've made our research. we are interested but some are still unsure. It's just that the playing atmosphere with someone you know in RL is very different than playing with those who you only heard of their voice through vent, if you know what i mean. ;p

There are betakeys up for grab in most of the german sites.

http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/9271-six-di...-podcast-ep-19/

go grab them if you guys are interested.

its pointless to play with 3 monitor. That guy mentioned himself he couldn't bare to play cus FPS stays at 15 max.

Anyway, it's easy to apply for the secure code.

""""IF"""" not wrong, new credit cards (applied after July 2009) already have that secure code. I said "IF" only ah, dont shoot me if I'm wrong.

As for the region thingy, it has already been told countless of times.

pugilist looks really awesome on miqo'te, considering the outfit xD ...

the temptation;

still, dunesfolk lalafell for conjurer for meh. gonna be heal whore again.

sorry.... i'd been wondering what unify are you guys talking about? since it's such a common word, hard to google.
