Instanced Dungeons (Alpha)

[Vilhem]

I would like to know why the Alpha forums are still up, running and not closed? ARR: alpha client is closed now, they should close the alpha forums as well. They need to send those pitbulls over here to these forums to get a chocobo stomping.

The forums have been closed for awhile now. Still possible to peruse them if you have access tho.

And yes, there is a Beta client that technically *could* be demo'ed, but they still have to apply all the fixes and feedback issues they received from Alpha testers. This is why there's the inbetween delay from offline Alpha to start of Beta. :3

Yea, good points. Personally, I am too old for strict party build requirements (i.e., 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps) but also like defined job roles and difficulty. If there were more jobs/classes, say 3-4 per role, then I wouldn't mind the traditional party set ups. But I hope I don't stand around waiting for a healer or tank in 2.0. Maybe they can do it by armor type (so heavier armor classes/jobs can tank) albeit not as good as GLA/PLD.

There will be a content finder for almost everything you'd form a party for except level grinds which is just an alternative way of leveling.

A large number of the people on the alpha forums can't post here because they weren't actually playing 1.0 XIV. You lose access to these forums if you hadn't logged into XIV in 30 days, even if your service account is still active. Probably why we haven't had a crapstorm about legacy players getting into beta phase 1 yet. Pretty much the only people left on the lodestone forums are legacy people. LOL

Bound to happen cause you have like 90% of the population wanting to play dps, and the other 10% playing tank or healer.

I find this acceptable.


Also, the video looks phenomenal. I have no doubts this is gonna be the epic FF game it should have been. Looking forward to seeing further refinements in Beta.
