Just curious seeing as the beta starts, oh I dunno, tomorrow.

Yo, the beta doesn't start untill 4/19/12. That's a while from now. Also I really think Ship 1 should be the ship we need to join.

*cough* big mistake but anyways tomorrow day after, still it's close.

i donno, it seems like most people are gonna be on ship 2 regardless. at that point it's up to you if you want to follow the majority or the minority. i'll probably be on ship 2 since that seems to be the most popular.

Yeah, it's just everyone is getting on ship 2 and I really don't want to be bounded to a boring, lifeless server with no other English players.

Why? Skipping Ship 1 is deliberate in order to avoid being on the Ship that will fill to capacity the soonest.

In any case, Ship 2 got the most votes by far, and it has traditionally been the official (unofficial?) PSO-W ship, so. If you're looking to play with PSO-Wers (or really on a ship with a English player-base period), you're looking at Ship 2.

Anyone logging in for the first time is going to try to get into Ship 1 first, no matter how you look at it. Going to Ship 2 is the logical choice to avoid the initial rush, and it's the general community consensus that Ship 2 should be our home.

I voted for 4 or 7, can't remember. I just remember thinking 2 was a little too close to one since it's probably going to have a large spillover.

ClothoBuer
Apr 17, 2012, 06:23 AM
That's exactly why everyone's gunning for 2, because of that spillover. 1 and 2 are going to have the strongest populations of the ships, with 3 and maybe 5 taking about 60-75% of the max of those two, so it makes sense to stick to a server that'll have a rich population, but not overly congested.

I prefer ship-1 too, for the long lasting future. but it is beta anyway, so I don't mind ship-2.


large population/congest isn't something to worry unless you play in the same time zone as JP. altho even JP themselves aren't worrying about that. PSO, PSU rarely ever have problem of over load. phantasy star fans aren't that huge to begin with.

RocSage
Apr 17, 2012, 06:44 AM
I think it's bad that they are making it so you can't transfer ships, but meh, it will likely be fixed shortly after launch.

As far as for the Beta i think you should all take note of the population spread and see if there is actually any congestion, report it, and then with that information move forward as to what ship you want to designate the "PSO-W" ship...


If the ship is divided up into lobbies I wish they'd do something cool like have all the lobbies different and be like a huge city ship rather than have it all be the same. That way you could cater to various activities and it's not like you would have to worry about an in game story for going to parties and such as you could just have an ingame explanation like the console controls a transit to all areas and Arkz/Hunters can access a special interface from anywhere on the ship.

That would solve the semi-problem of the boringness of a single design for all lobby areas.

I really want to be in Ship-1 but everyone picking up Ship-2, Think the game wont be like beta week all the time and we need the most populated server when the hype starts to fade. For now its the CBT so I don't mind the Ship-2. But I really want people taking second thoughts for the next test phase.

Ship 4 sounds good to me because 2 is kinda too close to 1 & 2. If we can switch the language to english I'll be all over the place on my own.

XP I never go to the first server in any game, not much for crowds and when you're on a smaller server, its easier to make a name for yourself if you play A LOT XD

But I need to play with ENG people or I will get bored, so will see everyone in Ship-2 probably XP

If I gave into peer pressure like that I would've gotten killed or went to prison back in the late 80s early 90s. I know I'm cool and don't need sheep to tell me that.

I like even numbers and 2 is too close to 1 so I'll be on 4.

I'm joining Ship 2 unless the population difference between the first two leans more towards Ship 1. I personally don't care for language barriers, and I'm polite with people who aren't rude. I'd just prefer to have a healthy english-speaking side of the community on the server I join.

I didn't want to join Ship 2 with everyone else at first, but the few people that I actually have an interest in playing with are going there, so that forces my hand. I'll just have to keep a low-profile when they aren't online.

in his defense this game is pretty damn fun and my buddy solo'd pso 1+2 on the gamecube with no online play all the way up to 100 something.

i don't see the problem playing alone if you think it's more fun or just don't like people. this game definitely has the potential for solo play just like pso 1+2 did.

he does seems like he's being defensive about a comment that wasn't even targeted at anybody in specific though, which is a little bit much.

lol Wouldn't be the first time for that. I like to take my time and figure things out at a nice pace. When you're w/ other players you tend to go faster and don't get to stop and smell the flowers lol. I'm sure I'll team up with some folks. I'm sure I'll even check up on ship 2 every now and then while playing.

lol seems like most people here already got an invite, but even if i don't get in, i'll continue to watch beta videos. xD

of course, I'm always wondering how the controls will be for this game. I wish I knew fluid Japanese so I can provide some feedback though.

Just get a kana reference guide. Almost all of the stuff to "play" the game is the same word in english, just written in kana.

You can also rely heavily on the symbols as most of the symbols for things are distinctive that you don't need to even read what they are if you know he symbol.

My character name'll be セリザワ, so just say you're from PSOW and I'll do my best to help out.

btw...in the official blog they did say something about the whole character on one ship thing that didn't sound like they were confirming it but rather addressing a concern, but you know how google translate is. I'd bet that they were saying something like you can transfer your character in some way, either through the cash shop or something like that.
