SE is always SE... Rage inside... :/

I find it oddly funny that NA players care more about the game than JP.........

If by care you mean "want to play it so badly", yes. JP however, if you even look at the lodestone front page, are the more active XIV patrons..the grand majority of blogs you see are Japanese lol.

I totally agree with you on that man. I know couple guys who barely loged in 1-3 times a mounth and got an invite today...ppl who struggled since CE edition pre-release and all the time till the servers went down, dont deserve a shit...

Why would you play a game you don't enjoy? You don't deserve more for putting up with stuff nobody forced you to go through with, in the first place. Get off your high horse.

It's random and we have to deal with it. Calm the hell down.

Oh man....

This is common in NA MMORPG communities lol. People moan and complain about WoW degrading and losing it's luster yet they go right back to it every update/expansion.

The testing phase will end very quickly. This has been confirmed. Alpha will be over before the end of the year. I'm sure people will get over it.

But instead of making fun, maybe the JP should feel moved. After all, we're all in it for the same goal. People making fun of those disappointed have no reason to feel superior any more than people who are raging over not getting in have reason to be angry.

I would love to actually see what the reactions are on the Japanese forums is to all this, or were they more carefull in making their selections there?

Would be very interesting.

They can have a laugh all they like they weren't the ones that had to put up with garbage lag ridden servers. Let's just hope the right people are getting in and that the tests go well because I really don't want server repeats like 1.0. I know there have been alot of people who are getting in who are interested in "Trying" the game but I hope they actually stick with it and test it well.

Here is hoping for the next batch of invites!

You are totally right, it's random! That RNG thing pissses me off most, b/c after trying for 2 years every day I couldnt still get lvl1 Onion Doublet! lol Just because of that dumb RNG thing. Everyone I know got it on 2nd or 3rd try...but I got right to be pissed off on RNG thingy after that you know?

I think the difference here is, raging you didn't get in or being overly excited for stress testing is something you can really poke fun at because that pretty much guarantees most sent an app just to play the game. It's not "superior", it's making fun of how strong the reactions of love/hate has been over simple testing.

How often did you get to the point of pissing your pants in excitement for tests in school compared to going on a field trip?

Translated always by the great Reinhart:

As for the JP rep posts, right now they are just replying to those JP players asking to open up more positions for alpha test and that they can't wait, Foxclon telling them they are planning to open up more slots so hang in there.

Let's cross the fingers :P (i hope that Foxclon is speaking about opening more slots world wide and not only to the complanining JPs)

LOL! I don't know what makes you think it's random... but it seems pretty obvious that it wasn't.

Heck, SE could have made it alot easier by saying that it'll be based on RNG, but they knew it would be too obvious after the invites went out that it wasn't a 'random' thing. I have not heard of a single Legacy player getting an invite, and if ther are some, I'm assuming it's based on working the past Alpha for the 1.0 client. I've been doing mah research, this wasn't random!! Although yes, some people should prolly calm it down abit.

They're NOT ALLOWED to tell you they've gotten into the alpha @_@.

Quick edit, copypasta-ing from another post in another thread(far far away...) I made earlier today on the same subject:

Here's the /entire/ NDA:
