    Re: Character + Server

    Weird, maybe my PS3 is just messed up 'cause it's an early model?

    I mean, it used to kick me off POL all the time back when I still played FFXI if I didn't turn off Media Sharing (it'd boot me from PSN too...)

      Re: Character + Server

      So, tonight it resumes. We COULD all re-roll on one of the new servers so we can all play together, or just stick with what we got until P2.

      Your call.

        Tell me which to roll on, and I'll do it. I just want to make something sexy that I can hit things with.

          SE made a formal announcement over system message stating that they're aware of the lag and are investigating.

          So, it seems that the number of players are on per server should not be causing the lag issues. However, I don't care what hocus pocus they're pulling off, but having the WHOLE server in just one city/zone is also a bad idea ... they need to open up the other 2 starting areas ASAP.

            that would defeat the purpose of phase 1

              100% signal strength doesn't mean you're not losing packets to noise, it just means that whatever packets are getting to you successfully are coming in loud and clear - but it doesn't mean every packet is arriving unmolested. That's why wireless sucks, because you can't tell if you're losing data even with a "strong" signal in many cases.

              If you're very close to the router, this generally isn't a problem, but in homes with lots of metallic materials (which causes problems with transmission) or lots of noisy objects like cell phones, microwaves, wireless switches, alarm systems, etc., even short distances can screw up your signal. You'll still get the data, but it might have to get re-sent several times per data packet because of error corruption due to noise.

              Case in point: My PS3 downloads at a pretty good clip even though I only run a ~15Mb down cable connection because it's wired to my router over 50 feet away. My sister's PS3 downloads at a fraction of my PS3's speed even though she runs ~300Mb down FIOS, but she runs her PS3 wirelessly. Her home is full of metallic surfaces and she has a lot of electronic devices. I remember downloading a 1.5GB demo on her PS3 some time ago, and it took over an hour. The same demo took me something like 20-30 minutes.

                That would probably explain why I get so much interference whenever I use my 360 headsets.

                    I swear to God, the people in the beta... omg, SE needs a better screening process.

                    If I hear one more fucking argument about "DD" vs "DPS" vs "HDP" I'm going to lose my shit. There were actually people last night telling the FFXI fans to leave because we have no business playing XIV or bringing in XI terminology...


                    I wish I was kidding. (Pretty sure the NDA doesn't say anything about talking about how utterly FUCKING RETARDED some of the other testers are)

                      Notice it's only the Americans doing it. I've been reading the French and Japanese shouts and they're all very courteous to each other. UGH.

                        It's mostly WoW players too...

                        God the level of ignorance is infuriating. Every 10~15 seconds some moron is shouting "how do I do this" or "where can I find that" when it's all there right in the god damned manual.

                        Ah but who RTFM these days... -___-

                            Now just imagine Open Beta.

                              Compa: "Relax. Relax! Relaaax......." Calm down, mew. the beta has no blacklist command implemented yet? oh just ignore the clueless people. If you get vocal about it in the servers, you risk getting modded, mew. Those people are just griefers that are flame baiting, mew. just test and enjoy and stuff.

                                I still can't get it to download on my computer. I have gone in and deleted the file folder FFXIV beta from the my games download and kept trying, but it fails and gives me 3 error messages: [11006] [20641] [20643]

                                It sucks because everything goes fine and then the white error message window pops up with these and tells me to restart the download. I close it down, restart the download, it downloads for 1 mins and then says the file is corrupted. Go and delete the file, try again and the same shit happens... Any ideas guys? I'm thinking about email SE, but i doubt they would really respond with any help for someone that can't download the beta version of the game...
