Everytime you get the stupid heavy traffic notice it logs you out. And it wants another onetime password.

Giving up for today. Obliterating my security token battery wasnt my intention.

Sure edit that picture. Take out your names. Blur it or something so you won't get in trouble.

Thanks for the touchup Ploid, would be nice if a mod could delete my old post too!

[Ploid]

Just edit your post with the picture that's in my last post, then I'll take out the pic in mine so there aren't two of the same pictures.

Poof got banned from FFXIV beta for streaming video of her playing it lol.

Hello everyone,

I started streaming fully aware of the consequences, and sure enough, 30 minutes before the Alpha session ended tonight, SE has terminated my alpha account.

I hope my sacrifice wasn't wasted, and I hope a lot of your questions were answered from watching me play, despite all the disconnects and crashes. As you all should expect, it's an Alpha, crashes and imperfections are expected.

I have nothing against SE, and I have nothing against any Alpha testers that were having their own little flame war over me in the Alpha forums. I've managed to send in quite a few bug reports, and I am glad SE gave me the chance to at least play through most of today's Alpha test and play my part in the success of FFXIV. I would have loved to continue testing the game for SE, but of course that won't happen ;D. if you Alpha people are relishing in my demise, I really don't understand why. The only satisfaction you get is...i dunno, an ego boost maybe? I really don't know. Certainly not satisfaction from me being sad from getting banned, because like I said I was expecting it, therefore, no sad faces here~

Don't worry, Alpha testers, your ego will still be intact now that I'm gone, unless another person comes along and does the same thing. Oh wait, you're already doing it by releasing all those screenshots and information, possibly even selling the info to game magazines and websites! At least I was open and honest about it and not hiding like the rest of you~ (^_^)b

Meanwhile, I'll continue playing FFXI, and maybe I'll see you all around in game in the future whether it be FFXI or FFXIV or FFXXV. ^^

Pookypoo

P.S. Seeing that clearly SE doesn't want me to stream, if I somehow get into beta (wink wink) I won't be streaming, just so I can at least enjoy the lagless experience and do more testing than the 3.5hours I received today.

Gameplay with Pookypoo

I want to play :<

Sureaboutthis, what do you have in your PC? Does the alpha run good?

[Ploid]

I hear the engine is very well done. I think it's just unreal 3 engine plus some tweaks. It seem to support multi cores and all that good stuff.

Sureaboutthis, what do you have in your PC? Does the alpha run good?

AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition
4 Gb RAM
GeForce 9600 GT
Intel X25-M SSD 80GB
Win7-64 bit

Fps seemed to vary a lot depending on how much was going on, but mostly stayed at around 10-15.

[Kaise]

Thanks and ouch! I think I might have to upgrade to an HD 5850 or a GTX 470 if my 8800GT can't push it's way for this game.

[Kaise]

Found some more screens on /v/ a little bit ago. I've never seen them before so enjoy!

looks exactly like the ship that goes to einherjar, weather and all

[Bodycount]

anyone else think they were just going to update 11 with this engine then decided they could make more cash releasing a whole new game? keep the hardcores on 11 who will probably buy 14 too and get more customers with brand new game
marketing genius!
