FFXIV Beta Test Site (Forum)

Anyone else having this weird ... strange ... odd ... stuff happening to them upon logging in? I keep being called different names that isn't my account. It's weird ... like I'm being "leased" an account belonging to another player.

Mr. S Mayu-yu.

I think I found a new character name.

This is nothing new. It's been like that for all newcomers since phase 3 because at this point you're just there for minor testing etc.

Only people in phase 1 and 2 got to actually sign up for the forums and give feedback.

I've walked around town and suddenly KO'd a few times with the chat bar stating "You defeated You".. thats with no status ailments or anything. Wish I could leave some feadback with them though, lots of Translation problems and grammar issues.

Wait, so they expect you to test the system with no way to report any problems?

This was my concern. Because I'm posting as someone else to report a problem ... they can never get back to the "real" person as a follow-up (if they needed more details or they need a particular log file from that person, etc)

I find it ironic that the support site is in Beta and is just as or even more buggier than the game.

don't worry things will smoothen out so much that you can stealthily jump out of a tree and "peek-a-mew!" travelers by surprise!

"peek-a-mew!"

NO! Just no...

Again, please realize that at this point it's primarily a stress test for the servers. They're done doing any major bug squashing and making changes to the game.

Which is odd. Seeing as how some people are still experiencing the AoE bug that crashes everyone affected, amongst others.

it's an mmorpg anyway, no matter how solo friendly, it's smarter and better to party up!

don't pay a monthly fee to just play a 'single player game', mew!

I would agree with this for the most part, but many (dare I say most?) players will not be grouped for the first tutorial leve.

As for the bugs, I think most people are expecting too much. I haven't played one MMO to date that wasn't bugged to hell at launch. At least we're not skating around on our knees ala WoW for 2 hours until the server explodes (or they shut down our server for a week to fix it after launch.)
