I'm about to have a fucking stroke. I can't watch Breaking Bad until tomorrow and there are spoilers hidden behind those tempting black bars and MY FUCKING SERVER IS STILL FULL. I'M GONNA FUCKING BLOW, MAN. [editline]25th August 2013[/editline] At least I got my Chocobo and got to name it before the server kicked me in the dick and booted me off.
[QUOTE=slayer20;41967339]Yeah, I just played a game of Dota 2 and came back. World is still full :( [editline]26th August 2013[/editline] Finally got in. Someone shouted for a raise, told them I'm on my way. My name is Ichigo Chidori, and someone just HAD to point out Bleach and Naruto, which my name has nothing to do with either one. I knew I should have changed my name when I had the chance, but Ichigo Chidori actually has meaning to me.[/QUOTE] man I'd probably make the same connection if I were them a name like Ichigo Chidori sheesh you were asking for it curious as to what it means to you though?
[QUOTE=lum1naire;41968462]man I'd probably make the same connection if I were them a name like Ichigo Chidori sheesh you were asking for it curious as to what it means to you though?[/QUOTE] It's the name of a character I want to make for a video game. I came up with her when I was around 14 years old (21 now). I've had a few commissions drawn of her as well. Ichigo is Japanese for Strawberry, which my character has strawberry-colored hair. Chidori was the name of one the characters in Full Metal Panic. I was reading the Manga at the time and didn't care for it too much, but I liked the name and it stuck with me.
Finally got my early access code. I can start playing when I get home from work later. I hope I can get into Hyperion.
[QUOTE=Zet;41968894]I can start playing when I get home from work later[/QUOTE] hah
[QUOTE=Zet;41968894]I hope I can get into Hyperion.[/QUOTE] double hah
finally got in, played for about 40 minutes maintenance
I really shouldn't be complaining that much, I got to play for like, 8 hours straight
Do what I do people. Roll alts on Japanese servers. My guild should just move to Ultima. Sure we'd lose all our progress on Gilgamesh but hey I'm sure we'd make it up fairly quickly. Plus we'd actually get to fucking play :v:

Well I'm on Hyperion. That was pretty easy.

So since Squeenix have been withholding my early access key I'm probably only going to get it at release, but is there a way to download it prior without any code, (I'm [B]not[/B] talking piracy), but so I have it ready to go when it is released? I have quite slow download speeds (< 700kb/s) and I don't want to have to wait 10 hours after release to be able to play.

If I remember correctly you need to login on the launcher to start the download. My download speeds are roughly the same and it took around 3 hours I believe, the game is only 8gb, so it's not that crazy.

I might request a refund from the Squeenix store and get it elsewhere. If I buy an american version and register under an american account is there any drawbacks to that? Am I locked to specific servers? It seems green man gaming only has it for American versions and same with Amazon (they only do american downloads anyway). Anywhere else I can get an early access copy?

As a Gladiator, what kind of shield do I want? The tiny ones with tons of block *rate* or the big ones with tons of block *strength*?

The page that pops up after you checkout has a code near the bottom that's in a, XXXXXX-XXX-XXXXXX-XXX format. You click the link by it, and enter that code and it generates you an early access key (which is also emailed to you). You won't get an early access code until you enter in that 18-digit code.

The tiny ones with tons of block *rate* or the big ones with tons of block *strength*?[/QUOTE] Rate is typically better because that increases your chances of blocking an attack. Strength is how much damage you can actually block. I had a fairly solid connection all weekend on Gilgamesh. Of course, I got hit by the maintenance a couple of times, but I think I only had 1-2 disconnects. I managed to get halfway through 29. I saw a few people mentioning high level people. This weekend I saw...Level 47 Dragoon, Level 49 Black Mage, Level 50 Warrior, and a Level 50 Bard.
10 more PUG levels to do then it's bard time. \o/
Enjoying playing, though i found it absurd how long it takes to be able to learn fishing. doing level 10 character quest for other guilds was long enough fir a side profession, but then having to go through all the story stuff to get to the city where fishing guild is was a joke. i think im in the city for mining now but im less fussed about that
I thought the devs said that fishing should be a long-term side hobby to do when you're waiting for friends or just kicking back and chatting with your linkshell/free company, not necessarily something you gotta max out fast

Preorder items are now collectable. c:

So does anyone know how I'm to get my CE items? I only got the pre-order items in moogle-mail but nothing else...

I wish there was a way to try this for free...it looks good but I'm not sure I'd pay the subscription fee. Plus you have to actually buy the game too, I assume.
