The download this morning took 2 hours.
I had to export my macros / buttons from my PS3 as well.
I then had to run through nearly 30 minutes of updates on PS4.
Then I uploaded my macros / buttons etc to the PS4.
Then I began. Surprisingly easy. Load screens very very short. You know that littlle 3 to 4 second pause after you call your retainer and when they actually show up? Gone.
Entered the game, had to adjust the controller settings a bit (your character and system settings do not cross over).
Logged in using my character on Lamia.
The difference is night and day. Wow. I ran some FATEs and just walked around for about 30 minutes before I had to go to work. I queued up for titan HM but it didnt pop. But from the FATEs I did run, I dodged everything perfectly, no issues. It felt like the game was running at triple speed and stable. No slowdown, no miniloads in between everything, no lag to dodge enemy aoe. I can't wait to start Titan! I see now how the top players are beating this new coil content.
My question is.... when the beta ends on 4/7, they made it seem like official service would begin immediately after the beta ends, but also said that the same doesn't officialy have early access until 4/11. I just transferred my stuff over from PS3 to PS4 to hop on this beta. I still have not heard convincing evidence on the status of PS4 service between 4/7 and 4/11, and whether we would be able to play at least on PS3 during this down time.
Any thoughts?
