But they don't mention which i5s I personally run a first generation i5 460M in my laptop, when they just say Recommended CPU is an i5 it means at least a first generation i5 or they would have given model numbers like they did with graphics cards, tell me where it says recommended 2nd generation i5 CPU. The recommended graphics card has jumped up a model or two but I think people currently on medium should be able to push graphics up a little.Quote:

Application submitted, now to wait.

I was in the beta test for v1.0, and this time I hope SE listen to the feedback, because if they had did in it's time and didn't hurried the launch to be before WoW: Cataclysm, this version 2.0 wouldn't be needed.

GOGOGO!!!!!!!!!

I wonder how many applications that they'll receive on the first day?
-
09-02-2012, 01:21 AMJynx
Only one that matters....mine.
-
09-02-2012, 01:24 AMJennestiaNot a lot if you need an active account.Quote:

I filled out an application. I know that I may not be the best candidate for Alpha Testing, but I decided to try it anyway.
No bug shall escape! -
09-02-2012, 02:06 AMAsterBarnivere
Go my Nvidia Geforce GTX 660ti! Go! :D Show these gamers what a powerhouse you are on my 3rd gen intel core i7 2600k and Direct X 11 Capabilities!!

09-02-2012, 02:28 AMDelsusNice, should easily be max settings for you /jelous.Quote:

09-02-2012, 02:52 AMNeku
Well I signed up. Lets see how this goes. Curious as to what factors will determine selection.
-
09-02-2012, 02:55 AMBabydoll
Actually, the ones more likely to get into the alpha are the folks with low end PC's...they probably want to see how much those types of computers can handle the game...although alpha is usually just to test the servers and make sure they can hold enough players..but hey, what do I know :o
-
09-02-2012, 02:55 AMStarlordProbably the Followng:Quote:

Those three are probably what they will be looking at the most. -
09-02-2012, 02:57 AMRenen
Hopefully this will be nothing like the GW2 beta signups :-)
-
09-02-2012, 02:59 AMJennestiaActive account, probably legacy as well given that requirement. Otherwise it's just probably them shift clicking a bunch of names at random.Quote:

09-02-2012, 03:07 AMStarlordExactly what I choose! ( Except mine is Very high Mid Range, almost High end)Quote:

Applied. And just want to remind everyone that didnt take the time to read through everything that this alpha test isn't about playing the game, you will be doing volunteer work, yes I said it... Work, for SE. So you have a responsibility to not only.SE, but also to all of those who dont get in to put your work before your pleasure and help SE build ARR into a spectacular experience. Good luck to you all!
-
09-02-2012, 03:24 AMDelsusUm... yeah isn't that usually the general point of an Alpha TEST. I want to test it I want to make the game a success which is what I said in the application.Quote:

09-02-2012, 04:23 AMindira
i'll pass i dont want to play another broken game, just waiting for it to go live.

09-02-2012, 04:36 AMTokyieRage
Do we have an exact date on when the alpha starts for NA and EU players? I know JP players get to go first.
-
09-02-2012, 04:39 AMDelsusAll we know is fall this year (or Autumn if you speak proper English)Quote:

09-02-2012, 07:50 AMDelsusHehe I want to custom build one, but I don't have the money right now, as soon as I do imma build a top of the range PC and see ARR in all its glory.Quote:

09-02-2012, 09:50 AMZenakuThe point of Beta,Alpha is to test on low end pc :) they know that anyone playing ffxiv on med/high setting ffxiv 1.0 could play ffxiv 2.0 on pretty much full setting.Quote:

There aren't that many people with super high end custom built gaming rigs. The majority of people are just using mid level Best Buy rigs.Quote:

The only part I don't have in spades:
Alpha Test Recommended System Requirements
Connection type Fiber optic
Connection speed 100Mbps
Man, I thought 25 Mbps would be good enough. Well, guess I can always try moving to the part of town that's getting 1 gbps installed. :/
