How much do you think one can test in 3 days? It takes a lot of time to try many different features in many different ways with different characters, then go through your notes and rewrite them for feedback etc. It's really slow and I don't think most people have that many hours a day to use on it (even if they are motivated). And even if they would have 12 hours a day it might be more useful to go a bit slower.

I hope there are many testers with different gaming backgrounds who are willing and able to use a lot of time going through each feature SE wants feedback on, trying them over and over again and especially use time on writing down their feedback so that it's actually useful.

Twitter, 10mins ago:
次回αテスターの増員は12月7日（金）を予定していますので、今しばらくお待ちください

Bing Translator:
So next time will increase the number of alpha testers expects 12/7 Please wait

1) It's a stress test
2) They received a lot of requests, if they could invite even non-playing people
3) In this way a lot of people, who wanted to see SOMETHING even an Alpha, will be out till Beta, or worse

EDIT:
Just to be more precise, 3 days was just an example. -.-'

Well, the main purpose of the alpha test is mainly for the servers anyway, you can still help make the game better with the beta testing :)

So 2 more days for the next chance. They want us to cry even moar :D

I commended SE about a week ago for being so transparent about the alpha, yet there hasn't been an update today on the english twitter account, nor did they let us know last time invites were sent out.

It makes me wonder. Are only Japanese people getting invites at this point?

Im starting to wonder the same thing. Seems the NA community is getting ignored.

The invites are supposedly going out world-wide.
It's just the community team that doesn't translate the JP Twitter response at all.

I don't think it's wise to degrade @FF_XIV_EN, @FF_XIV_DE and @FF_XIV_FR followers to 2nd class citizens, but that's what it is.

No, why would the JP only get invites? They had almost 3 phases of localized stress testing. SE is still a Japanese company above all so of course the main twitter account (Japan) would be updated and we already have proof people outside of JP got invites on the 3rd.

Yea plenty of my friend got invites today, felt happy for them, they were excited to play lv20cap and gridania only client lol. No hard feeling on me not getting an invite, beta will be better when i can test out more endgame raids.

Wondering if mods are on holidays. The last post on Dev tracker is from saturday by Yoshi.

yay finally :D

The alpha probably isn't very fun without you in it anyways Chard....

woooo alright more dota for me i guess!

It's getting pretty quiet on these here forums these days .... I wonder why .. lol

A lot of ppl playing the alpha i guess.

Yep. Sure is getting lonely around here. Complainers must have gotten in though which is why they are no longer here stomping their feet about the supposed injustices of alpha tester selection and going on about how people are misunderstanding their true motives. :rolleyes:

Ah well. It was fun while it lasted.

Did you miss today's 2AM - 5AM EST section on this thread?????

12/2 OMG OMG OMG OMG
12/3 WHYYYYYY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GODSSSSSSSSSSS
12/4 OMG OMG OMG OMG
12/5 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH /wrist /wrist

It's like some sick joke or something - like it doesn't exist but we are made to believe... oh someone posted that 12/7 will be another round??? OMG OMG OMG OMG

i love how people are selling their FFXIV accounts with alpha access lol.

I haven't got an invite yet, but It wouldn't matter too much if I get into beta instead. And if I don't get into beta oh damn, don't know how long I can go waiting to play 2.0 I mean swtor and 13-2 are decent but not good enough to hold me until ARR.

Well, as you have pointed out more than many, SE don't always follow logic and reason. Either way, they should give the entire playerbase info about these things.

Also, if they keep inviting the same pecentages from different regions as they did the first time around, being Norwegian, I should have a 1/3 chance of getting in each time. So after the third time with no invite, you do get a little paranoid lol.

Yep, it's been pretty dead for a while now. Hopefully they'll post the next alpha video tomorrow or Friday, so all of us who didn't get in get something to talk about =)

New round, new luck.
This is one reasson why I don't go to casinos.
All what I want is an alpha client and access to the alpha forum ^^
The official forum gets boring this week.

I'm not entirely sure if you mean what I think you mean, but you're not allowed to tell us if you got an invite.

I doubt you're the only one who noticed =P

Most of the stuff I've seen have been taken down pretty quickly.

For the 10000th time ... yes we are allowed to say if we got an invite. lol.. most people just aren't saying it because they're too frightened to do so. I've already said it on these forums, they won't kick me out for saying I got my invite.

Well, I have no idea how strict they are with these things. It was just a heads up, chillax.

I'm very sad I haven't gotten in yet either but oh well =/

Just hoping I don't lose interest by the time ARR comes out lol I'm ADD like that sometimes

it must be because i'm Canadian.

I didn't get one either, but I'm like dead on my feet and totally sleep deprived so it's cool. Dug the pup is lots of hard work, but we're making progress! >:3 So I really don't mind about the lack of invite lol.

...Now if someone could bring me a coffee I'd be MOST grateful lol

I emailed SE support, they replied (surprisingly and diligently) within minutes, never before have they replied to my previous emails, asking me to provide them with some information.

Turns out, no they can't do anything about the region conflict, given that my account is registered under UK/Europe, but I reside in an otherwise backward country called Singapore. No SE does not extend their services to my country.

Thank you SE.
Thank you.

Eep. That beats not getting an invite at all. I'm sorry =/
