Why should it be bad pr for SE?

Beta test schedules info should only be available to beta testers like us & not to some game website.

Isn't there suppose to be some NDA for this kind of thing?

There is talk on the beta forum that once test 4 of phase 3 is over, the servers will be down for 2 weeks for debugging before they open it again for phase 4.

If that's true, prepare yourself for withdrawal symptoms.

What is the purpose of the Bard? I rarely see any Bards in the beta.

Why no love for Asian fans?

i tried to register last time but it says the service is not available yet.

so i am wondering how these people can already register their cc???

when i can't find anybody to do dungeon, i do FATE.

FATE is so much fun when you see 10 to 20 people fighting together especially if the monster is some kind of huge boss, compare to 4 people in a dungeon which is kinda lame.

the credit card registration service for FFXIV is not available yet because the game is still in beta. You can probably register your credit card once the game is launched.

Duty Finder will still be on this week but it may not be available on Friday night. I hope we can use it on Saturday or Sunday.

No wonder I can hardly find any English speakers in tonberry when 3/4 of the players is Japanese.

Duty Finder better get online this weekend or I am raging all the way to Leviathan server in P4.

My wish has been granted. Duty Finder will be online tomorrow!

they announced 1 million registrations, not beta testers.

if duty finder doesn't work as advertised, then I will take the next bus to Leviathan on P4.

With Duty Finder, we can do this:

-Pick your role, dps, healer, tank.
-While waiting for the queue can switch jobs and do other stuff while waiting.
-Teleported directly to the dungeon. If you make your own party in advance, it can also teleport your party to the dungeon without having to run there.
-Filter by language if you wish.
-If someone leaves you can get replacements.

No need to shout LFP, LFP like a donkey again.

Also, the beta test won't end until Duty Finder is stable, which is when they will announce an end date for the beta test.

sargatanas is eu server. I prefer NA & Leviathan is a popular NA server. I did my own research. i honestly think you don't have to tell me where to go.

if the japs weren't so xenophobic, I wouldn't be so picky about the language.

did i make you angry or you picking a fight with me because you are bored? is it because i called the Japanese xenophobic?

why don't you open up the servers for me to go right now?

I don't know about you but last week I was shouting LFP outside Halitali for almost 2 hours & nobody responded. So I am looking forward to Duty Finder.



A lot of people on the beta forum agrees with me about shouting LFP: http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Test/thre...ty-Finder-Video

We can try out duty finder tonight & if it works like they say, then LFP will be nothing more but a sad memory for us.

normally 3 days.

since no end date was announced for this week's beta test, we don't know how long it will go on.

According to the guys at the beta forum, a patch is already up for the client. The patch is probably for duty launcher.

We have resolved the issues listed below.

-Cases where the server will go down when logging out or forcing quit.
-Cases where the server will go down during specific circumstances relating to Guildleve.
-The screen will freeze and be unable to proceed.(Only in PlayStation3 version)
*We are resolving the certain situations that we were able to confirm.
-When logging in again within an instance, the chat for Linkshell/Free Company cannot be done properly.
-When the party leader is the first to leave during an instance, the Limit Break Gauge for the party leader remains, and Limit Break is possible.
-When on a Chocobo Porter and when the player goes into an instance dungeon because of a party member, the use of Actions and Battle cannot be preformed properly.

All players are now required to use Duty Finder to enter the dungeons because they want us to test it.
