[DEV question] Why cant we change Alpha application answers?

[Shougun]

You shouldn't have signed up in the first place if you knew you were getting a new computer in the very near future.

Insert badger-with-sunglasses-deal-with-it image here.

Unless you were doing the app on a machine with absolutely no chance in hell of running the game (because it couldn't run 1.0 FFXIV either) then you really have nothing to worry about. They need people with all different kinds of hardware. telling them your new better hardware vs your old worse hardware isn't going to affect your chances. And as others have noted, PC specs are just one of the factors.

Seriously guys, just sit all your butts down and wait for the beta. It will be a lot more polished and functional then anyway. The alpha has next to no content and a level limit of 20. it's a TEST for a reason.

No telling people they cant change their hardware is ridiculous.

And why do you care so much if you think any hardware is good enough. "I am here to say no, but I really dont think it matters"

Its not about updating to a stronger PC so they give you higher chances - its about being honest and accurate.

Dude, code that your browser executes, and code that has to be executed by your OS are not the same. It's not "unimportant syntax." There is a world of difference between the two with vastly different challenges in terms of development and release/usage.

Who is going to care about that difference when they dont know it. The point is the web starts an app (therefore it is a web app) that checks your system specs. You can't fake the system specs unless you really have that system or you cant intercept the information. Its unimportant syntax you are arguing.

Since when have we been able to change our answers on anything SE has ever asked us? Never. expecting it now is expecting too much.

You're bellyaching over nothing. The testers have been chosen, this is the last alpha phase, you're not in it, too bad, No, Hi-it's-the-no-police, deal with it. Normally I'm not here to say no just for the sake of saying no, but since you seem to want to hear it so badly, here you go.

Yes, i've reached a breaking point when it comes to silly, pointless complaints on this forum:

-Grass grass grass
-Why do they jump so much in the videos
-Unpolished animations in a test version
-why cant I change my app answers, after everything is already over

You can now resume your regularly scheduled and normally unjustified hating of me.

I can see you just want to troll about it.

I'm not saying this for "I could have gotten in if I had different specs thread". This is "SE is being silly - if they want accurate information they need to allow updates"

Your antagonistic attitude is pointless as I'm not saying any of which you are trying to make fun of. Grow up.

Normally, I don't troll at all, but people accuse me of being "the no police" anyway. It doesn't really matter what I say, if I give an opinion, someone has to come out and say "NO POLICE!" so, yes, I am upset and understandably so. I didn't want to troll about anything, this conversation is purely because you chose to make insults at me. Next time, don't pick a fight.

I didnt make insults at you - unless you consider calling out your (what I think was) purposefully trolling 'badger.jpg' 'hi-police' remarks. Maybe you intended them as funny (but I didnt think they were funny).

I am tired of people who say no for no reason other then "Some other thread hurt my feelings". Maybe that's not exactly you, but these threads are for discussion and people who ruin discussions with pointless side debates like "which programming language they used" or "I dont like you bumped this thread even though it pertains to the game still" annoy me.

So perhaps we are both grated old men lol


It is, I agree, late to be changing specs now. But for future tests SE should do well to allow updates - as it wont stop any of the cheaters and it will only make their tests more accurate.
