Diejenigen, die sich auf der Gamescom, der AnimagiC oder der Japan Expo für die Beta registriert haben, haben die Chance einen Beta-Key zu bekommen. Leider können wir aber nicht garantieren, dass jeder einen Code erhält.

vielen Dank für deinen Vorschlag! Das ist eine wirklich gute Idee und unsere Entwickler beschäftigen sich zur Zeit schon mit Möglichkeiten, die anzeigen, wenn sich ein Spieler in einer Videosequenz befindet.
Thanks for your suggestion! It's a really good idea and our developers are currently already working on options that will show when a player is inside a cutscene.

Die Ausrichtung der Leisten ist festgelegt. Gleiches gilt auch die Anzahl horizontaler und vertikaler Leisten. Aber ihr könnt frei entscheiden, wo ihr welche Kommandos, Emotes und Macros hinzufügen wollt.
The alignment (vertical/horizontal)of the bars is fixed. The same goes for the number of horizontal and vertical bars. But you can freely decide where you want to put which commands, emotes or macros.

The whole vertical/horizontal thing caused some confusion...

Hello and good afternoon !

When we collected questions for the 3rd Letter of the Producer - Live! one of you indeed had a question to ask, however the question surprisingly was for me:

Thank you for your question, Jinrya-Geki, and your interest in my name :)

Sasunaich is inspired by the Gaelic word "Sasunnach" (there are different/more modern ways to spell it apparently) and I personally pronounce it "Sa-sse-nach" with the "ch" being typical for the German language I suppose, as I don't like the harsh sound of "ck"

I hope this answers your question :)

How do Germans typically pronounce "ch"? Like "chair" or "choir" or something else..?

try typing "Sasunaich" in google translate German and hit the sound button :P

---

Ah, so it's like sah-sah-n-eye-tch with a "ch" like "chair". Thank you for pointing that out ^_^ And sorry for chattering on a translation thread >_<

"ch" is pronounced a bit like "rr". It depends on where the "ch" is in the word, but you can guess when you listen to "nacht", you hear ~"narrt".

In this case it should sound like Sa-sse-na-rr ^^

Thats not correct Seyra.


This one explained it pretty good (found on another side):

Quote:

---

We shouldn't forget the difference between
1) ch after a, o, u and
2) ch after e, i, ä, ü, ö and consonants:

1) In the first case we use the voiceless uvular fricative [χ], as in Scottish "Loch", German "nachts" , "Bach" etc.
2) Otherwise it will be the voiceless palatal fricative [ç], similar to English "huge" or "human"; you'll need this for "rechts", "sprechen" and "ich".

---

Wikipedia helps again too:

Quote:

---

In German, ch represents two allophones: the voiceless velar fricative [x] when following back vowels or [a] (the so-called "Ach-Laut") and the voiceless palatal fricative [ç] in all other positions (the so-called "Ich-Laut"). A similar allophonic variation is assumed to have existed in Old English.

In German, it represents [k] before -s, and an initial Ch (which only appears in loanwords) may also be pronounced [k] in southern varieties, and is always pronounced [k] when a consonant follows the initial Ch.

The Rheinische Dokumenta writing system uses ch, for the voiceless palatal fricative [ç], while ch represents [x].

---

Good morning,

I am sorry I confused you.

Since I do not pronounce the "i" in my name, the "ch" is more pronounced like in the German word "Nacht" or the Scottish word "loch" (the sound is produced somewhat in the back of your throat).

I hope this explanation was of more help :)

Ah yes it doesn't depends on where it is in the word but what it follows ^^ My bad, thank you Alegis =)

But yay my way to pronounce it was right =P

Thank you very much for clearing that up ^_^ I'm not very familiar with German sounds other than some primary school memories of guten morgen, guten nacht and danke. Guess I should have been paying more attention in class but hey, I was 9, the sky or my books were more interesting at the time XD

It certainly was helpful. Danke, Sasu!

Pfeile werden zwar aus dem Spiel entfernt, doch wenn ihr angreift verschießt ihr trotzdem Pfeile. Nur ausrüsten müsst ihr sie nicht mehr.
Was die Auto-Attacke angeht: für den Nahkampf verwendet ihr eure Fäuste und für den Fernkampf werdet ihr schießen. Außerdem greifen alle Waffenfertigkeiten auf den selben Cooldown-Timer zurück.
Arrows may be being removed from the game, but when you attack you will still be shooting arrows. You just don't have to equip them any more. For the auto-attack: In close range you'll be using your fists and for long range you will shoot. Also, all weapon skills will utilise the same cooldown timer.

I have new information for you about changing Grand Companies. It will be possible for you to change your Grand Company. Naturally this has a few restrictions. For example, you will only be able to equip gear from your current Company.

Außerdem wird euer Rang nicht von eurer alten auf eure neue staatliche Gesellschaft übertragen, sondern ihr fangt wieder beim untersten Rang an. Allerdings wird euer alter Rang gespeichert, so dass er nicht verloren geht.
In addition, your rank from your previous company will not be carried over, and instead you will begin from the lowest rank. Your old rank will be saved though, so it doesn't get lost.

Einzelheiten können sich natürlich noch ändern aber das oben genannte ist der aktuelle Plan.
Specifcs can still change, but this is the current plan.

IIRC, our seals from the companies we didn't join were also saved so they should be there for us if we switch.

Wir möchten ein System für den Weltentransfer erstellen, dass dem von FFXI ähnelt. Aber es ist noch nicht entschieden, wann es den aktuellen Spielern möglich sein wird, zu wechseln. Es hängt von vielen verschiedenen Faktoren ab, wie zum Beispiel der Anzahl der momentan spielenden und zurückkehrenden Spieler, weswegen wir zunächst die Beta-Phase abwarten möchten.
We want to create a world transfer system that resemles the one from FFXI. However it has not been decided when current players will be able to transfer. It depends on a number of factors. For example the number of current players and returning players, which is why we want to first wait for the beta-phase.

Ich werde euch natürlich informieren, wenn weitere Einzelheiten entschieden sind.
I will of course inform you once the specifics are decided on.

BOOOOOOOOOM


Thread explodes (probably not lol). Thanks for the translation ^_^

Good news about the Grand Companies. Glad they're deciding to treat those like the nations in FF11.

Good info regarding being able to change Grand Company, thx :D

I find this to be a bit more than awesome...

[Dear Shogun,

The pictures were taken in one of our meeting rooms. So it's not the Community Reps' actual work station but we hold meetings there with other departments, branches or the mother ship in Japan. That's why you don't see any computers either ;)
I have to admit though that it can be quite difficult to take ones eyes off of the wall but sometimes a Rep's got do what a Rep's got to do :cool:]

I have good news for you again. We've asked the team in Japan how things are looking if you want to use ALT+TAB to change windows. Well, presuming your computer meets the recommended hardware specifications for the game, you shouldn't have a problem with that any more. :)

I can see a lot of happy people right now.

Double edged though, since that could mean if you don't meet recommended specs it may not work xD.

I suspect that's more like a typical disclaimer of "don't blame us if you're not running normal Microsoft Windows."

The error has nothing to do with technical requirements... just lazy programming.

I would also like to have a full screen windower. I used dual monitors and whenever I use a fullscreen in one, I can't click any programs or in fact, any where on the second desktop without the game crashing. I would like to see a full screen windower (no borders) that will take care of this issue. Otherwise, I will have to keep using a script to make it so.

I'm sure others players with duo, or more monitors can relate.

Ooo Borderless mode. Full screen love for dual monitors XD

more option are always welcome :D

This one has come a little from left field, but was a pretty good question, IMO.

Hallo,
Hi,

Wir haben diesbezüglich mal beim UI-Team nachgefragt und sie meinten, dass sie noch nicht darüber nachgedacht haben, als Standardeinstellung bestimmte Elemente außerhalb des Spiels darzustellen. Allerdings meinten sie, dass sich da vielleicht etwas mit Add-ons machen lässt.
We asked about this with the UI-team and they suggested that they hadn't yet thought about presenting certain elements outside of the game as part of the standard options. However they are of the opinion that something might be able to be done with add-ons. (In this context, I believe they mean UI-mods.)

It's been a while since I had something new to tell.

The [beta] applications we received at Gamescom have the same level of selection priority as the current online-applications.

Auch Spieler, die sich bereits auf der Gamescom beworben haben, können die Online-Bewerbung ausfüllen; dies ist kein Bug. Um die Fairness zu gewährleisten, wird natürlich nur eine der Bewerbungen im Auswahlverfahren berücksichtigt.
Players who have already applied at Gamescom can still apply online - this is not a bug - but to ensure fair treatment, only one of a person's applications will be taken into account during selection.

we know that you are thinking about what happens when the leader of a Free Company (FC) is offline for a few weeks.

Für freie Gesellschaften wird es voraussichtlich eine Funktion geben, die es dem Leiter ermöglicht, sozusagen „per Knopfdruck“ seine Rechte an ein Mitglied seiner Wahl zu übergeben. Für diese Funktion ist derzeit keine Beschränkung geplant, die Rechte des Leiters können also jederzeit weitergegeben werden. Möchte ein ehemaliger Leiter seine Rechte zurückhaben, wird er den aktuellen Leiter bitten müssen, ihm die Rechte zurückzugeben.
For the FC, there will presumably be a function which will allow the leader to give the rights to another member of his choice via a simple "push of a button". There is no planned restriction at the moment, so that the rights of the leader can be given to any member at any time. If the original leader wants back his status he will have to ask the current leader to get his rank back.

Was das automatische Übertragen der Rechte an ein zufällig ausgewähltes Mitglied angeht so besteht durchaus die Möglichkeit, dass wir dies weder für Kontaktkreise noch für freie Gesellschaften implementieren.
As for the automated change of the leadership to another member there is a chance that we will never import this feature. Not for FCs nor for Linkshells. (##Seraphe: This was mentioned in another post. Leadership would change once the leader didn't log in for ~2 weeks but they got negative feedback from the german community on that##)

And here's another one regarding Free Companies.

Even though you deleted your question, I still have an answer to it. :cool:
You are not forced to buy a house if you're starting a free company. But there will be more possibilites and fun for the game [if you have a house]. It's up to every free company whether they want to build a house or not though.

Übrigens wird es wie bereits erwähnt möglich sein, Mitgliedern der freien Gesellschaften kurze Nachrichten zu hinterlassen. Eine Anschlagtafel im Haus der freien Gesellschaften war zwar bisher nicht geplant, aber wir werden diesen Vorschlag auf jeden Fall in unsere Überlegungen miteinbeziehen!
By the way, like mentioned before, it will be possible to leave short messages for members of the free company. A bulltin board inside the house of the free company wasn't planned so far, but we will definitely take this proposal into our considerations!

Thanks for the translations Seraphe :D

Thanks, Seraphe. I more than happy for others to translate, but I have to correct you on one small point...

A bulltin board inside the house of the free company wasn't planned so far, but we will consider definitely implement this proposal!

Hey Catapult,

Thanks for mentioning this :)
I don't think they said that they'll implent it 100% (although it is very likely, so you're probably right that they'll eventually add this.).

Just to be sure that we're crystal clear on the subject -- there are currently no plans to add a bulletin board-like system within Free Company housing. However, as Sasunaich said, the development team has received the suggestions on this topic and will take it into consideration moving forward. :)

LOL. Nice call, Seraphe. My bad.

Good morning all,

just to make sure that there is no misunderstanding, although Okipuit has already pointed it out.

Seraphe's "[...], but we will definitely take this proposal into our considerations" is the correct translation of what I said in German. So it is not planned yet but they will keep the suggestion in mind.
