Helps if the tracker is working
[editline]12:46AM[/editline]
Haha oh wow only 252 seeds on the tracker
[editline]12:48AM[/editline]
Oh and it is just a server error
Oh my god, whatever fuck this. I'm gonna wake up at like 2AM and try this shit again. I've tried for the past 3 hours. Literally thousands of tabs, ctrl+t/ctrl+v constantly.
We are currently experiencing technical difficulties where testers may be unable to log back in once they log out of FINAL FANTASY XIV. Investigation and recovery work is currently underway, but we ask for your patience as this matter is resolved.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

It's not 100% EXP for eight hours and then nothing.
[quote]
In order to achieve this balance, we calculated a value for the amount of skill or experience points that could be earned in a one-hour period. This theoretical value represents an hour spent engaged solely in combat, levequests, or any other activities that earn skill or experience points, and sets a threshold delimiting how many of these points can be earned in a period of play.
Based on this, we have implemented a “threshold value” concept. These thresholds are regulated by a one-week timer that begins counting down the instant you earn skill/experience points. After a week has passed, the thresholds will reset, and the moment skill/experience points are earned again, the timer begins counting down anew.
For the first eight thresholds during this week-long period, players will receive skill/experience points at the maximum rate possible. The actual amount of time spent reaching these thresholds is not significant. That is to say, a player who exceeds eight hours of gameplay will still be rewarded the maximum amount of skill/experience points, so long as the total amount earned is below the eighth threshold value. For the subsequent seven thresholds, players will earn skill/experience points at a gradually decreasing rate, eventually reaching a rate of zero.
It is worth noting, however, that the reduced rate will also gradually recover while players are engaged in activities that do not yield skill/experience points. In this manner, it is possible for the threshold value to reset completely, even before the completion of the one-week timer.

More explanation at the source: [url]http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/12068-balancing-character-growth-in-beta-3/[/url]
Basically, the second you stop doing stuff that gives you EXP -- whether that be hanging around a city to chat, crafting, or logging out -- the limit starts to refill. From what I've heard, you're pretty much never going to hit the cap. The only reason people had problems with it during the alpha was because the exp gain was boosted, so that skewered things. Also at the source: "We are in the process of adjusting this system, and plan to make changes based on tester feedback." So hopefully if the system is terrible they'll listen to the players and tweak it.
Quick question while I wait to get the key. Is there only one server to play on or are the multiple, and if there are multiple servers which server is the majority of the FP community playing on?
Goddamn fake server error...
Fuck this. Trying again tomorrow morning.
Oh wow, the cursor sensitivity is really low and unresponsive. The game runs fine but the cursor just doesn't feel good at all. I feel like I'm dragging/lagging even though I'm running it fine. How do I change the sensitivity?
Crashes as soon as I execute. Time to get my first graphics card. Anyone here have a spare 9800 laying around?
Thought I'd write out my first impressions. Hopefully the liked list will get bigger than the disliked list the more I play it.

Everything graphical
Animations
Character customization

The fact you can't jump
Not being able to simply walk off a cliff, but instead having to try to find a ramp instead of simply walking off a one foot fall
Not being able to bind the journal/action slots/etc. to keys
The mouse being horribly unresponsive if your framerate isn't too good (even with 40+ FPS it's still unresponsive a lot)
The mouse being slower than it should be/not giving an option to change the sensitivity
The lack of customization when it comes to binding keys
Having to change graphical settings outside the game
Lack of starting abilities
No satisfaction when leveling - no effects or anything, just a "You gained level 4"
Not a lot to teach you about the game right away, found myself asking a lot of questions with no answers
Cutscenes get boring after a while once they start to lose voice acting
Lack of UI customization
Too much "go talk to this person" and running to begin with
Movement isn't as snappy as other MMOs
Alt-tabbing or minimizing results in a crash
Every time you click something (such as Journal or Map, or even scrolling through items at shops where you sell/buy), it takes a few seconds to load. Used to loading everything instantly in other MMOs.
I thought I'd be able to use my closed beta account to log in but I guess I was wrong. Now I need to wait until the site's less congested.

Great. I was so excited while being at school to play this when I get back home but now I can't even get a key. :( I wonder when they continue giving out keys.
They ran out in like an hour, there will obviously be more.
I got in. :c00l:
You got a key? How? It's still telling me they're not giving them out currently.
[QUOTE=Radiosquid;24543307]You got a key? How? It's still telling me they're not giving them out currently.[/QUOTE]
I got one while they were still being given out.
Damn this emergency maintenance! Hurry up and be over already.
I had everything downloaded and failed to get a key. Fun.

Welcome to the club. I bet half of the people with keys are still downloading the fucking thing. Ridiculous.

Anyone else having this problem?

So wait, you can already download it? :|
it's been available to download for a month roughly.
