Budget??

hahaha even with gtx 670 you dont get 60fps all the time when a lot.of stuff and people around on alpha i get 20 to 30plus fps with 570. beta gonna have a lot.of fate.which a lot.if.people gonna hunt.together lol

True that for BETA and camping, but don't forget AMD/nVidia haven't done any optimization yet and during launch players will spread out even more... I just know I can't keep up with these changes like smartphones... Better settle for a nice home + investment for future... I'm old

less than 5k . are there any notebooks where graphic cards could be change/ upgraded?

a rm10,000 notebook might have same.performance with a rm5,000 desktop.

You mean use SSD hardrive for Window 7 OS inside and install FFXIV ARR inside also ?

Just finish testing with the default Max and High setting benchmark...can't believe it... during 1.0 running at max in real game already can feel a bit slow end up setting it to low setting only can run smooth...

During this ARR benchmark, low activity area the score run like you are pumping petrol ! but at places with a lot of activity it moves like snail

My GTX460 has only 768mb ram, my pc with 4gb ram...beside this I had my old Geforce 8600GT inside my pc too (forgotten what is the reason I ask my pal to put it in, just remember it helps to make those bit and pieces flying around nicer)

Sager NP9130

32GB RAM! Overkill!

Tomorrow 5pm... still so long

Dont know much about computer specs, are these good?

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2361129

hi all,

1) damn singtel proxy is not allowing me to login beta forum, anyone playing from sg know how to passby it?

2) lowyat beta tester play in which server?

3) beta forum there got any news about what time the beta goes live?

It's a bit pricey if based on specs along... but the MSI GE60K or Shojikun's ASUS ROG G55VW should be reasonable... They mentioned MSI's speaker is the best among others, while ASUS ROG, I played before and very impressed with the cooling... Sager and Illegear can be customized for future but selections might be limited...Budget line with same spec would be Lenovo Y580, but now replaced by Y500 with GT 650M SLI

I see a lot of SG posted in Beta forum o_O

me keep getting 認証時の環境との同一性が確認できませんでした。恐れ入りますが再度ログインからお試しください。

This mostly because maybe your FFXIV service account is not activated. Try checking your SE Account Management then go Service Option, click on Final Fantasy XIV then click option list and see if its activated or not

ARR beta test is listed under permanent options, meaning already activated?

I have no problem patching the launcher with my ID login though btw, wait and see later can masuk game or not.

hmmmmm someone here also having issue about the forum, which i have no idea why either lol, no official rep respond on this yet.

hoppe so you can enter in game!

come tonberry!

So yeah! most oceanic/sea will be in Tonberry!

so all going to Tonberry for beta? is it confirmed

im not sure about others, but yes majority of the SEA/Oceanic will be in Tonberry!

ok sho, its decided then, Tonberry......here i come

o_O still got? if you wanna buy it.. sure go ahead, can still use the code when FFXIV ARR launched....

But no, is not b2p like GW2, is p2p still.


Just to tell you that SE did annoucne the merchandise to be destroyed. So if still available grab if you want to save some bucks when FFXIV ARR launched. Because i can forsee it will be around RM140++
