So, Open Beta started and after hours of trying I got a Key.

 

From what I learned the servers will stay from Open Beta to final Version.

 

So I now do declare "Cornelia" as our Server, if you want to join us.

 

There is no German or UK only Server, this one is declared as EU server by

the fans.

 

You get Client + Software here: http://entry.ffxiv.com/

 

Site is totally busy so you might need to try again and again and… you get the picture….

 

Best regards

Managed to download the software, but can't get registered. 

On the plus side, the server congestion notice is coming up much faster than it was.

Freaky. That's what I chose anyway. After being blown away by the most extravagant error code I've ever seen I'm currently enjoying the stalled download level.

 

PS I know it's a beta but that doesn't mean I have to wait twenty days before I can be sarcastic about it.

If you know how to put your PC in the DMZ ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D…..mputing%29 )

do that, the download will be much faster.

Just make sure to remove it after the download, because DMZ means your PC is open to the internet.

 

It´s the god awful torrent downloader that does not work with all the ports blocked.

 

If that was too much technical mumbo jumbo…. I am sad you have to wait a loooong time.

Greetings from Open Beta:

 

Status: feeling like late Alpha not an Beta.

 

Cause: Every Day a small Patch, every Day same Issues, Laggy Mousesupport (Software mouse ingame feels like a big Spoon in a cold Honeypot).

 

On my System Win7 64bit with Microsofts Essential i have to turn off Virusprotection to install (gameclient or Patches). Shut down Firewall on Router.

I feel naked locked out before my House when i do so *brrrrrr* terrible Fear

 

The Game patcher is terrible, Took all Performance of your Networkconnection and you cant do anything else.

Then the Patcher stand still by , say we today 94,8% and did not finish.

You have allways to download a zipfile with patch from other Ressources like FTP, Megashare etc.

 

Ingame i can Run high quality Settings only with additional Tweaks on my Geforce 285.

 

The Game client stop middel of the game into Dekstop "FFXIV stop working" , i canot login right after must wait 5 min. then when i relog in all my daliy Quest are "finished" and i cant restart it, my Questmonster are locked out "you cannot attack them".

 

Keyboardsetting could not assigned free.

 

and and and…..

 

Sick, hope not to be sound too bad.

 

But this Game will not find the Way on my PC.

 

I feel today they are testing the game on the Back of all PC Users for the PS3 Version.

Yeah, its sad but its excactly that.

 

It´s very buggy and takes alot of finetuning to even run properly.

I only play it with an XBox360 controler because mouse and keyboard

are so non reponsive.

 

The game itself is very promissing the grafics are very nice and all in all

coherent.

Its core PvE (no PvP) and from its origin made for casual players.

 

But all around the game, the OS and hardware issues, the non existent

tutorial and the userunfriendly interface, KILL the game for any casual

gamer.

 

Like Lorni sad, I had to configure my router, disable my virusscan,

try at least two differnent graficdrivers (the latest one a beta driver),

buy and configure an XBox360 controler (for me and Mrs. Oli) and

all in all read lots of forums and internetblogs to get some help.

THAT´S NOT CASUAL GAMING … DAMMIT !!!

 

I really really hope a miracle happens till 22.09., because thats

when it goes live……

 

Best regards

I gave up on the second day. I'm not buying a controller to play a PC game, and mouse is unusable. I googled the utorrent solution for patching. It worked, and my PC wasn't all naked and alone.

I'd like to get into it early, but my graphics card is at the bottom of the scale anyway so I'll wait to see if they can get the PS3 version to work.

There are still good ideas in the game.

One of the most discussed is the so called "Fatigue System".

 

Found this Video, I guess its fanmade (kudos for that) that

explains the system in a way that you start to understand were

the benefit is:

Ouch

 

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg…..deo-review

 

I feel validated in my opinion to the game and steping away for the time beeing.

 

For a Game that is called "Final Fantasy" a LOT will expect much more then gets delivered,

be warned !
