Legacy Beta Test

[Kirito]

I would be surprised if they let all legacy members in on day one. I am sure there will be rounds of invites like they did for alpha.

If so then they would have said so... Let us not forget they know exactly how many legacy players there are and they have a couple of servers from the alpha... they could even use some of the old 1.0 servers...

Yea, but they'll have a shit storm otherwise. I'm not saying one way or another, but we should all be in before the end of phase 1. And being that Legacy members don't have to apply, even if they weren't in the alpha, pretty much tells me they will make it in day one. That's just a little reasonable deduction though, nothing solid of course.

Having everyone who is Legacy, download the client and log on day one will be a valuable test.

Exactly, it's a major stress test. Something that will need to be ready on release day.

Thank you SE for giving all Legacy members the option of participating in the first phase of beta, it means alot!!

Legacy still has to apply for beta on PS3.

True, most Legacy members probably aren't too concerned though. Just my assumption though. My PC barely wanted to run the game on default settings with a benchmark score that says I should be able to run the game extremely well on default settings and probably even at higher resolutions.

That being said, a lot of people probably have machines that are overkill for ARR. The alpha test ran at 60fps (capped it at 60) with no stutter, max settings, and AO and all that jazz on for me. So personally, I'm not interested in the PS3 version as long as I get my Gamepad controls as promised, eventually.

I'm not so concerned about it but it kind of gets annoying to have to enable my ps3 controller to work as a gamepad with a program each time I want to play ffxi or ffxiv so ps3 version would be better... If they tie the trophies from the game to our psn account I can also see more players playing it...

You don't have to. You could always, you know, actually buy a controller for your PC. -.-; Trophies aren't really my thing... I'll just keep my mouth shut on those st..things.

ooo I hope we can use a controller this time @.@
