Han hecho una traducción de lo expuesto por Yoshi, seguramente lo pondrá en ingles dentro de nada, pero si alguien quiere leerse esta traducción "amateur".
Naoki Yoshida said today (11/27/12) at 1:08 AM:
"Since we are developing a technique that divides the ongoing development, called the branch,
skinny β test work is already progressing on a branch separate from the α. The α test will be extended by a period of time, though not as the only test, before the world α. (Closure of the hardware test does not interfere with the construction of the world as it is also a β test). Alpha testing is steady Therefore, whether the β test can say ahead of schedule, is a different matter."
Future plans for α test
I am Yoshida producer / director. Thanks for waiting. Plans for the future of newborn FFXIVα test, we will report. However, if there is no α describes the contents of the test in the first place, because I think the intent is not transmitted correctly, please read the following (This is long sorry). As has been reported in a previous letter producer, and α test of the MMORPG, the only side management / development "stress test" of the server that can not be made for the purpose. However, I think the load test itself what sort of image is not spring, let me explain briefly in the next section
Overview and load test server configuration nascent FFXIV per 1 World, FFXIV newborn has been designed as an average peak number of concurrent connections 5000. Because it is a number of simultaneous connections to the world that you can create a character more naturally. Strength is 5,000, the peak time of the play, the maximum number of people to be accommodated in one world at the same time I do I can think and remember. However, because it is "Capacity simultaneous whole" per world, the one world of FFXIV newborn consists of 40 zones around, that our players has logged distributed to each zone It will be assumed. Since the server to accommodate 5,000 people in a 40 zone, ie a capacity of one zone server, you will be much lower than 5000. Rose with character level, distributed to the content, from the width of the playing style, that all players will gather in one zone, because virtually impossible. (... But you is is possible if I will make the situation deliberately) in FFXIV newborn, has been designed to accommodate 1,000 people possible for one zone still, "Simply put 1,000 people in one zone In order to test! "okay, well into you can have performed α test, you can change both say. (Has been confirmed on the content and the conductor, character more than 1000 whether along a collection. Addition to that case, you had put a view to be instantiated for each Zone) validated this load, the battle several at the same time or has been done, has been done some gathering or at the same time, and whether monitoring of running some quests, the only situation in which, there are a lot of people in the zone server we simply will not be verified. ...... Other course if there is a problem with transfer zones have also been carried out at the same time people / 400 300 people either do not cause any problems during intensive access to the patch server is not client crash on specific hardware, or control POP / DEPOP monster it is working correctly in the event of high load , etc. We are a large-scale validation will help us to everyone on the tester.
Why do a lot of people can not participate in the α test? ■ In order to test the server load is assumed, when viewed from our players, α test is playable range is extremely small compared with the retail version. Graphics rough normal case, there are many temporary implementation UI, is also present in many cases not even quest scenario, we perform a large number of simultaneous battle only. Play range is limited as follows: α test of FFXIV newborn also. · Race that can be used only woman Mikotte / Sunseeker man and Hyuran / Mid Lander only supports creating new character everyone, and cap at the class level each 20- country can start only Guridania professional Sojutsu, Battle Classes Archer Only certified genjutsu -Crafter / Gyazara is Carpenter, leatherworker, only master gardening Opening is tentative only α test unimplemented cut scenes (will be displayed black mask) only mausoleum Tamutara · Dungeon (Lv15 -Lv20) for ) those of the middle-conductor Quest implementation exists beyond (Lv10 to Lv1 ~ Lv10 -Girudorivu the production Reeve (is) to Lv20 to Lv15 think I can play very well in the percentage of α test But to play zone, mainly focused on about 4 zone (open range 8 zones). Because it was created though quite conductors initial, FFXIV nascent thousands login simultaneously start one city, when you start to play, along with the level up, so that the high load is applied to zone always the same. Further, since there is no content to other areas, even reaching the Lv20 cap, they tend to accumulate in the initial zone means. Original purpose because it is server load test, in order to get the load, since it is targeted zone, as α test, it is correct in this. However, because it is calculated at 1000, the maximum load per zone is as I mentioned earlier, and by increasing the number of players simply, the player to remain in the zone extending those same increases, the load that I can not happen under normal, I would not be able to play decent. Even if we elected to test long-awaited α, in which I can not even play satisfactorily. We will be the only solution is that, not only increase the number α test world. In addition, α-play test range is narrow and conventional character data as well, because at the end of the wipe test α (erased), the rate tends to decrease login. So, in order to distribute the account, you will log in to the people of the new tester, to continue the validation it is customary. We expect it to be at the steering nascent, with respect to the number of distribution account, the rate of login and will be approximately 20%, which I had predicted, the rate of log remained at less than -50% 40% still at present Because you are, it is a situation that while calculating the load, in order to increase the test account
the progress of the test α enters the third of the four phases of all phases from newborn FFXIV α test tomorrow. The first phase of operation one world foundation load test. Load test proceeds very smoothly thanks to everyone tester, 850 simultaneous connections, at about 270-280 per concurrent battle zone, at this point it is possible to find the critical load, such as bug, fix immediately I could. Further, a process prone to high-load test was performed followed by, and is activated simultaneously can be listed, I have reduced processing speed in detail. In the test phase α 2, increase towards the tester open the second world, I tested the simultaneous operation multiple world. Trouble that there is almost no noticeable Fortunately, support and faster processing, during which time I have a final check of the global test in parallel start of Britain, Germany and France. Endurance test is 3-phase, long-term management of the global operational test + I start tomorrow. In accordance with the Phase 3, 11/26, are distributed to all regions also add a test account. Subsequent Phase 4, slated to be carried out, such as integrated test world, while looking at the state of Phase 3, the schedule here is we're going to decide. However, since the strong request of you, until near the end of the year, as much as possible (we are not what you would call a α test anymore ...) that you are considering to release the α test world
plan and future distribution of the number of test α distribution account of the current situation is the number of α distribution test account Please note that we are unable to publish the exact figures. However, in the case of Japan, have been distributed to 1/4 of the total number of applicants, now 11/27 as a percentage of the area 1/6, EU in the total number since it is less the total number of the original North America because it is the first step the global test, approximately one / 3 has become. It is scheduled to be added in the future, and stability testing up to 12/2, Phase 3, we will add a better tester further than 12/3. Also, in order to correspond to the additional load tester, there was no initial plan, we will open the third world for the α test from 12/3. Once every two days, while watching the login rate, since 12/3 and we will add roughly towards the tester at any time. Additional number is continue to add several thousand on a weekly basis, how far make myself understood, and judgment while watching the status of the load. Please acknowledge it.
ask about the rate of increase in α test account as well as FFXIV new team, the fact that steering the end of the current needs of everyone, and strongly believe that people who have your submissions, and you want to pass the account as many people . I hope that those who elected to test it, as much as possible, to join us when, to play the second world, third in the world for the α test I think I can ask. For the convenience of the open range of α test, if the player to concentrate on the World identified as described above, becomes a load can not occur in the operation, usually calculated increase test account, you are no longer forced to be cautious. "Although we are operating in the two world called," Chocobo "" Moogle currently first I think as far as possible "If it is possible to / play in creating a character who Moogle". Who attended to α test after 12/3, also can choose the third world and that was added please, very helpful. I will be over! (Letter because I had become, as soon as it is possible to translate, I also give letter in a hurry!)
Yoshi explained the selection process in detail in Japanese. Basically, the current alpha test program is very small so that everyone who is invited tends to pile up in the starter area with no place to go. This puts strains on the program so that they have a limit of 1000 players in a server. Each time you sign out your character data is lost so you have to create a character every time you sign in. This puts a limit on the number of people that can sign in at one time. They refer to this as "sequentially distribute account. ... To continue the validation is customary."
"Phase 3 tomorrow (11 / 26), operational endurance test starts global operational test + for a long duration test, according to phase 3 all region test account."
"After phase 4 begins, world integration testing will begin."
■ number of Alpha test account distribution and future distribution plans ■
"Please note that we cannot disclose an exact figure of the current alpha test email deliveries.
Japan, in 11 / 27, was 1/4 of the total number of the applications recieved emails.
For North America's global test, 1/6 of the total applications recieved emails.
For EU, approximately 1/3 of the total applications recieved emails.
There are additional plans for future stability testing of phase 3 until December 2, 2012. We will add more Tester on December 3, 2012.
Also, initially there is no planned tester load. However, [these considerations] will allow me to open the third world for alpha testing after December 3, 2012.
We will add to the Testers from time to time while watching login rates begining December 2-3, 2012 or later,.
Concerning NS ... we will add thousands each week, but will be watching how busy the servers are to decide. Please note that."
