Prep for beta! Supplies & such

[Maeve]

So has everyone done their prep for beta starting today? I just went shopping and bought all my essential, carefully selected gaming supplies:

 

 

• Boost Juice - For a bit of a boost (ha) when my energy levels are low.
  
• Coconut macaroons - just because they are the perfect one handed snack
  
• Camembert cheese - because when isn't a good time for this stuff? Am I right?
  
• Ben & Jerry's Choc chip cookie dough - No explanation required.
  
• An orange & an apricot bar - to offset the damage of the above :lol:
  
• Oh and I'll have a pot of green tea on the side as well for when I feel like drinking something warm!
  

 

Everyone is different so do tell - what do you find essential for your epic gaming session?

[Rhenalyrr]

I don't got a picture to share but I've got a bunch of that wonderful hot beverage Apple Cider. A pitcher of water and an electric water kettle to make it all! And cherries! Lots of, lots of cherries. And maybe some cold pizza with a nearby in reach microwave.

[Desmond Aryll]

Lol I actually did the exact same thing.

I got:

 

Cran-apple juice

1 gallon of drinking water

protein bars

half dozen plums

Chef boyardee soup

a thing of raisins.

 

I'm good to go!

[Salty Lake]

Nice!  

 

My prep for beta entails a pillow and blanket for my couch, where I am about to go to sleep for 3 or 4 hours till my alarm goes off at 1:58 am.  And some whiskey. I am going camping this weekend, so I only get to play until about noon tomorrow morning, so I didn't stock up on stacks. I will probably forget to eat during these 10 hours.

 

I am a grown-ass adult and I NEVER go on gaming binges. But I love being able to do what I want so here I am, preparing for gaming from 2 am to 12 pm!

[Aysun]

I got nothin'! Actually dealing with the stomach flu, so I just hope to be able to sit up tomorrow long enough to play! :frustrated:

 

And in that case? Water, lots of water...

[Robyn]

Coffee -- black, two sugars. And hours of trance music.

Ha, sleep! Many have tried taking a nap today and almost all have failed. God speed brave one, god speed. 

 

+1 for booze -1 for whiskey

I work at 930 in the morning. Game goes live at 4, my time... I'm probably going to stay up till launch, get Kaln made, stare at it for ten minutes and then sleep. Then, go to work, come home, and play for days. All the days.

[Artorias D'Argent]

I envy you all.  I work 12hr shifts all through out the beta weekend so no play for me.    However if I were I'd be buying a case of beer and I'd be good to go.

Hope you feel better.

 

All I got is a couple cans of Pringles, carrots and some juice. >.>

[CallmeYahweh]

I am brewing a metric ton of tea. Black, green, white, red; you name it, I'm making it. Chocolate chai, mint, everything. Experimenting with some iced green.

 

It's a guilty pleasure.

[Amadeus]

Six liters of diet pepsi and a pineapple.  Ready to go!

[Aduu Avagnar]

I work at 9, game goes live at 9 my time... I am playing from 6:30pm till about 8pm sunday.... I have decided .

 

and those snacks would last me like an afternoon .

[Quuyn]

Pot of Coffee, and Pea Soup...

 

Don't judge! My French roots gave me an insatiable craving for Pea Soup at all times.

 

And as customary, I slept for the past three days in constant intervals. Hibernation, complete. :sleepy:

 

I don't plan on stopping till I pass out at my desk... knowing me I'll last three hours.

[Vashies Rosada]

Drinks: Ice tea, Red bull, hot tea packets

Food: Tasty cakes, mango, apple, box of cherries, cookies,and snow caps.

 

time for the fun to start.

well I grant +1 for whisky, and +3 if it's Jameson!

[Vashies Rosada]

just ask real quick was not said that open beta beta's level cap is 20 right?

[Quuyn]

Yeah, cap is 20. Unfortunately.. Buuut that just means try to level them ALL to 20. Ehee

[Korinth]

Sadly, I'll be starting an eight hour shift at exactly the time beta opens..When I get home though, I have baked good, all the baked goods. And tea..It seems tea is popular around these parts.

[Falkner]

Well well, aren't we all bunch of people with very healthy lifestyle

 

Let's see here, mineral water supply? Check... potato chips? Check... Proper rest? Bah! Who needs rest while Eorzea is in peril.

[Vlll]

The Beta test starts around 11:00 on my timezone, so my supplies are breakfast components at the moment. Tonight I'll treat myself to some Monster and some snacks to carry on :bouncy:

[ArmachiA]

We went the unhealthiest route possible. About 12 or 13 Rockstar energy drinks, some red bull, A bunch of microwave pizzas, hot pockets, A lot of Peace Tea, And other misc. snacks. I did buy some citrus for that natural energy, but we are all about carbs over here!

 

Me and Ellion are hoping to pull about 14-15 hours on the game today. I would go for a full 24 but I don't think I would make it on the count I didn't get that much sleep

[Felix Sideris]

l went to sleep at 9:00. so i got my rest.. it is too bad i have work at 6:40 though.

[CrimsonMars]

I can't even sleep because of this fucking game. e_e

[LeCard]

sleep is for the dead(or nearly dead). Caffeine is for the living!(in an intravenous drip if possible, and where do I place that order?)
