Niteshade_Rune

Ok, i managed to find something that worked for me at least to get going. It seemed to work. I am playin on both platforms but have opted to have the early access code applied to the pc half of my account for the time being. I'm quoting a portion of text off a post in the beta forums >>>> "this has worked now for a number of folks "What finally worked for me was editing my profile settings. Basically, after going to the pre-order code entry site and picking your language, it asks you to log in. After you log in (you may need to fill in some information) it'll take you to the code entry page. Instead of entering the code, I clicked my newly chosen handle in the upper right corner of the page. That displayed a drop down, and I clicked the "My Profile" option. That took me to the profile details page. I filled in the information there and noticed that my language was set to English (UK). I changed that to English (US), saved my information, went back to the pre-order page, and was able to enter in my code without any problems." Please Bump! Edit - Caligamy - For the people that cant get this to work... be super redundant in checking every possible language setting. Do it for both the Top and Bottom of the page.. that seemed to be my hangup Well said. " ^ It seemd to work on my account and i got the code for registration afterwards, no error 3

Woot, thats pretty cool Have they released info on the costs for housing yet? or heck subscription costs, it doesnt matter on either account cause i'm perfectly ok with throwing them my money and my gil! as soon as i get my codes to work lol.

mEH, ERROR code 3 here, guess ill wait another day lol. Ah well.

Yea, i managed to get lucky and got ahold of someone during sunday . By that point when I looked at the listing of members it was down to about 3-4 open spots after i got in lol. They had already been talking about setting up something along the lines of an Intermission2 linkshell and a few of the folks were going to opt to help set it up and act as go betweens. Was the last I heard, I was at that point meeting the Admiral and admiring the nice office and window view there before I had to turn in for the night.

This offers some potential as a linkshell candidate that id take a pearl for. Being as myself IC is not only a freelance adventurer to sum it up, he also does work for folks around the city and outposts for gathering resource type jobs and may do a bit of crafting as well(Since i plan to full on immerse myself in gathering/fishing/crafting at launch whether while rp'ing or just on my own ne way)

I'm opting to wait, early access is saturday after all. I figure if we catch it by thursday/friday we're good to go. Since i'm "assuming" that the open beta/phase 4 client is the same as launch and it'll patch up that should save time as well for those of us who were able to hit Phase 4 last weekend. It shouldnt take me long to patch it up on the pc and ps3 . good sign though lol, as if the huge boom of folks during open beta werent a good sign, the fact their servers are getting hammered at the code page is good to. means many folks are giving them $'s which gets us more game heh.

Awesome, may take me longer as i'll be spending a good portion of time just gathering lol. Then scouting out fun spots to use and lurk in IC 8-)

...our packrat passive skill is slowly rising! I found the seller in Lims over the open beta on friday. I was determined to stalk every inch and walkway until I found that guy too, who wouldve guessed it was ol Bango Zango. And i cant wait to have that Black Chocobo Chick.

I amassed a small tiny collection of open beta screenshots of my new adventures. I'm not sure if i'll use them for my characters Tumblr gallery just yet. I will look them over and decide. I may take fresh ones to add to the collection during early access/launch to begin my visual journal so to speak. At least if i can come up with satisfying captions lol. I took a few shots that impressed a friend who wanted to see some visuals of the game heh. bonus.

One of the things i noticed in ARR/2.0 is the inclusion of our sit emotes being usable at tables n stools around bars, restaurants, and benchs(which i think is just damn amazing) Those so much with the emotes in this game with those options as well as the visor toggle, hiding our weapon since due to the armory system we cant just unequip them here that can really be put to good use from an RP perspective. Speaking on the tavern aspect. is the Raven's Eye Inn/Tavern crew thinking they may utilize various locations around the cities and game worlds for some of their tavern like events or hangouts?

Ah, thanks on the additional replies. I know we can also call our Retainers from the Inn rooms as well, i noticed a bell there before i logged out lastnight.

Yea, during phase 3 i saw that weird attire. if they at least gave us color options lol. Well I'm sure they know we would like to see a vanity option on the retainers, but Having them back is good enough and theres much else they'd likely rather focus on for launch/post launch anyway so its fine heh. What does the, personality thing involve? I saw it mentioned but they really didnt say much of what it did.

Soo... i totally got so wrapped up in enjoying the beautiful scenery and gathering, and tryin to accomplish a minor goal before the end of the open beta weekend I never did get a chance to try and look in on my old retainers. I'm gathering we will only get a single opportunity to customize their appearance, what I'm curious of also still is if we will be able to hand over some gear or old clothing to wear for display? I remember this being possible back in 1.0 and was one of the reasons i went and made sure both characters i had had enough materials for the Usugi kabuto helms and the xmas/Dream wear clothing to make up a few batches so that I could give some to each of my retainers plus keep one for myself. Tho I suppose if we can't give them different old gear to wear for appearances I can see about handing over some of my spares to my gf's character as well.

Hmm, some of the router stuff i was looking at and the whole 2.4ghz thing. I was debating getting this http://tinyurl.com/358qzrc as a replacement for my slightly older Logitech mouse Ive been using. but i saw the 2.4 thing mentioned , guessing that it may potentially interfere with the wireless signal on anything that I don't have hooked up thru a hardwired connection? EDIT: I also managed to capture a recent speedtest this morning http://www.speedtest.net/result/2906329401.png coming off the main pc which is hardwired into the router/modem

Yea i figured the appearance thing was a 1 time thing, but i wanted to make sure before i went n called them out lol. I may just leave them on their vacation until launch when I feel like putting time in to customize both a bit. I dont really need to rush to get into their inventories.

I for some reason always hate making to many posts within short spans of each other but I keep finding myself wondering about this and wanted to ask since the busy-ness in game right now makes asking some Q's a bit .. difficult lol. With us being able to customize the appearance of our retainers upon first hiring them(or hiring them back as it were for us 1.0 players) I want to dig thru the inventories of my 2 loyal retainers to see what I had them holding.. and because I think they've got a few seasonal items i'd like to trade in to the npc but I'm hesitant since I'm not sure if we only get 1 time only to change their appearance or not @.@ So as anyone possibly testing this yet? lol

While I for one have extremely open minded outlook on naming as a few old names i used to use in the past sometimes got flak from communities which i could understand to a part, but i saw how in a way it worked for part of my character aspect, there are understandably some names that to an RP person seem a bit.. no lol. I'd just like to think that some of them are just folks that dont have any interest in RP and arent there to harass or brief those that do, and give them the benefit of the doubt. If not and they start acting up, we do have that handy block/ignore feature(one of the most loved and useful features in any mmo lol)

I'd like to hope that with the exception of a few peculiar folks that the fact there seem to be many having a hard time gettin in on Balmung means that at launch we'll have a good solid server pop and sizable returning community.

I saw the Legacy tattoo that i noticed folks here mention at one point, but yea no special intro. I'd have loved to see it but i too barely scratched the original story in 1.0 so its alright. I hadnt realized until I was following the story in ARR this weekend that not only were many of the adventurers gone for 5yrs with hazed memories but most everyone else who survived like ol Baderon. Huzzah, lol why give the main character amnesia when ya can give the WHOLE world amnesia lol Ill enjoy a fresh story this time around.

Mostly Gallery yea, especially to start. I'm not very talented a writer. One reason so many of my character bios end up unfinished or shared ;/ Did I see correctly that we'll b able to tag or mark each thing as private? I dont really want mt Tumblr to turn into some weird spam fest as i made one specifically for my FFXIV character and travels lol

Im in Balmung now. I never truly spent much time on Besaid before it became balmung back in 1.0 I had originally been on Figaro. WHen i discovered this community site and it's server home i created a new character there. I do hope that balmung will fill up with many friendly players like what there are on this site. I do so hate moving servers.

I so wanted those goggles, but i gave that up when I chose the other pre order option i had taken back then, damn shame too, those were some nice goggles. Got my helm and gauntlets tho.

I know there are a few floating around on the Google Play store from before the game was closed to begin the prep for ARR, I'm wondering if some of these end up becoming updated once we go live again if anyone plans to utilize them? Or if there are those out there possibling planning on working on some? I know the game is going to have the one they mentioned, but sadly it wont b available for me at least right away due to it not being on the Android OS.

I thought 128 players per linkshell and 8 linkshells total were the limits currently. For me personally at least its plenty sufficient. But i know some folks may fill up fast lol.

Good to be back in Eorzea and Limsa. once we hit the early access/official launch period I may have to look you guys up.
