Anyone planning to use the Ship Transfer?

[lunarsoul]

If so, which Ship are you on currently and which Ship do you plan to transfer to and why.

[Aryube]

come to ship01! we have cookies and other nice stuffz.

[Slidikins]

I may possibly transfer my HUcaseal from Ship 02 over to join my TEmarl on Ship 09. They leveled pretty much opposite classes... but reason being so that I don't lose all of that (albeit little) progress by leaving it on a ship where I don't really know anyone.

[EXPFULL]

Really looking forward to seeing new people come over SHIP 2.

I'll bet there is still a fair few people on other ships that just didn't want to start over when SHIPS 1-5 opened up again soon after launch - now they don't need to!

700 AC seems reasonable too I think.

[Mystil]

^I still remember what you said over in the rant forum about different weather, same shit lol.

[Inazuma]

I know the number of English players is fairly small everywhere besides Ship 2, but after this update, they will probably decrease a lot more, as many players move to Ship 2.

There also seems to be a "large" crowd of the ship 02 English speakers moving to other ships. I wouldn't jump to that conclusion just yet.

Come to ship 8. We're nice, cozy, and dont have crazy cheaters and loud dramatics like ship 2 or 10. ^_^

[BIG OLAF]

At least all of the whiners that seem to think that the entirety of Ship 2 is some terrible, horrible place can get the hell out if they think it's that bad. Won't have to hear any more complaining.

It'll be nice to just be able to tell people that bitch about Ship 2: "There's the door, pal!".

Who are the top players for rare item box destruction?

Ikr? Also I don't know what cheaters and loud dramatics Super-luu is talking about cause I haven't seen any of them and I play more than any sane person would on any given day!

I assume that no loud people would mean a positive experience for people that prefer a non-social experience with quiet party members that just kill things and never say anything like some effective npcs, should join ship 8?

Ah well to each their own, half of the fun of MMO's is enjoying all types of interesting people, IMO, take out the loud people who can be rather funny at times and I might as well go play a single player game, "loud" people are what keep the grinding entertaining along with the excellent gameplay of this particular PS

[blace]

Sounds like ship 8 is my kind of ship, but in all seriousness, cheaters aren't 'bound' to just ship 2 or 10 in every game I've played they're interspersed among every server and community among them.

Ship 2 may have its issues, but those have dwindled quite a bit. All this hate towards ship 2 just comes from people that never experienced the current community there and rely on past experience from others.

[Slidikins]

Also I don't know what cheaters and loud dramatics Super-luu is talking about cause I haven't seen any of them and I play more than any sane person would on any given day!I heard that Ship 02's rankings are much higher than Ship 09's, and on Hagal I believe the record for Vol Dragon kills is 27. 27 Vol Dragons in an hour. Meaning, someone killed a Vol Dragon every 2.2 minutes. (I can't even run through Free Caves in 2.2 minutes.)

If Ship 02 has a record higher than that, I'd have to seriously suspect the intergrety of the rankings. But other than that I haven't heard stories of cheaters and such.

[Arika]

Come ship 02. We just make a brand new active team and is recruiting atm.

Most of the people who complain about ship-02 is usually jealous of population here. btw/
Try to recognize the name, most of those are people in another ship lol.

(If it was the first month, then I would agree completely that block-20 used to be very lousy, but it was long gone, and anybody who still complaining about it mean they have no idea)

[Mystil]

Block 20 went into civilized mode when it got renamed and liberated by the Japanese. And with the reports made last month, I suspect many of the idiots were banned. In the early goings, I could not stand that place. Not because of the naughty symbol art, but because most of them had some serious On-high-horse/ego issues. As if they think they are omnipotent beings that is too cool for everyone else.

[unicorn]

Um, Sega almost did an IP ban because of the rudeness that went on ship 2. Know your info guys.

No offense to players on there, I'm sure theres a lot of nice people (most of the people I played with from PSU are on there). But thats also the go to place for hackers/cheaters, n00bs, and rude loud "gajins".

[Mystil]

You don't see any of that in large abundance anymore. If there are still hacking or whatever, it is in obscure places.

As of now there is just one who likes to push people through windows and DC them.

So we can stop the my ship is better discussion. Good for you I guess, but assuming just makes you look like an ass.

1. They didn't "almost IP ban" anyone.
2. I see very little "loud" or "rude" people running around. At least not openly to the public.
3. lol at using the word "noob" to describe people on only ship 2...theres so much wrong with that one...far to much to get into here..

4. As its been said a hundred times, hackers and cheaters play everywhere on these kinds of games...ship 2 simply got the most attention about it due to being the main english playing ship.

Know your info dude. ;-)

I played on ship 2 though.

And promoting my ship isn't bad. Different strokes for different folks. I was just stating that ship 2 isn't the only ship with English speakers. No need for name calling. :P

Yeah they did. They gave a strict warning that they would ban all foreign addresses.

The other ones are subjective and if you don't feel that way thats fine, but from what I've witnessed it was the contrary.

Definately not the case here, you really need to 'look' before stating them as fact.

No, actually, I believe they said they didn't want to IP ban us.

The proof is right there guys. :-?

The night before that article there was an issue with JP and US players in certain lobbies. I was actually playing on ship 2 at the time as well.

And I really dont see why you guys get all defensive about this.

[Arika]

Actually, when Sakai said that, people mostly point it out at ship-02 only, because it is main english community base. However, actually problem about hacker and problem about foreigner happen in other ship too. I think there is a Chinese main ship that has heavier RMT issue, and Taiwanese ship that has more noticable population than all ship-2 english players bases. I remember seeing their forum discussion before that they take population for 7-8 blocks full, and only speak Chinese. (well but that was in the past, I don't know current situation there anymore, since they are using different forum ) My Chinese friend told me about it at that time when they made the warn, and they were thinking of their own ship causing the IP-ban too. (while we think of ours)

So problem actually come from many ships, Sakai never specific ship-02 when he look at the big picture. We only know ship-02, because our community only know that place.

Those were about the update to the TOS, there was no speculation about IP banning foreigners. Well there are, but that's beside the point as it was not directed only at ship 2.

Why we're being defensive is all due to how everyone treats it.

That was to help with the supposed hacker threat, and had nothing to do with Ship 2 "rudeness."

Also, that's the first I've heard about an "issue" between JP and US players 'the night before.'

Exactly this! You're making ship 2 look bad when it's not any worse than any other ship. You can come here and pump up your ship with compliments if you want Luu but do everyone a favor and keep the negative junk to yourself :l, ESPECIALLY when you don't know what's going on in ship 2 TODAY. Turn your head around and look toward the present instead of the past.

[Finalzone]

Even Japanese living oversea and foreigners living in Japan?

On the topic, Ship 2 is my home being part of a Japanese team who greatly helped me to practice kana.

I'm not going to go back and forth on this subject, because its going no where. And this isn't a my-ship-is-better-than-your-ship, thats silly and immature. In a more populated ship, you'll have many more incidents than in a less populated one. And American culture is different, so we are generally perceived much ruder than the Japanese (they don't generally speak in public, spam, etc).

Perhaps my initial post was a bit rude, and I apologize. But I didn't think it would spawn a 2 page argument.

You don't say...

I have no idea where you get that from where Japanese don't so much spam, speak in public and such, but from what I can see from Japanese players, they do voluntarily speak out and they do indeed spam. It only happens less frequently than what you're used to seeing. Don't make assumptions you can't compensate for.

I didnt make an assumption though. You reinforced what I just said. The Japanese are different culturely and might take some of our actions as rudeness.

Exactly. They still aren't nearly as loud or spammy as US players. Point blank. And its very rare too.

[blace]

They're a lot more outgoing than before is all I know, don't know why you're still hooked on them being generally quiet and not doing the same.

I can't pass through a few blocks without my chat bar filled with moonrunes.

[~Inu~]

I've seen the Japanese spam SAs during primetime, heck they have some pretty amusing macros/autowords in their MPAs.
Believe me, the JP community is just as silly as the EN community.

I don't think the ship transfer system will change much, but I have no doubt there are a few folks among us who are pretty happy about it.

Do you need a band-aid after you tripped over yourself with that self contradiction? You pretty much started it by quite clearly stating that ship 8 IS better than ship 2 or 10, don't deny it.

Am I immature for responding to more immaturity? Hell yes! Also of course we're perceived ruder, they have different words for different levels of politeness in their speech! Also I doubt you know much about them speaking in public and spamming cause it sounds like you just about treat this as a single player game quite nearly! You said it yourself your ship is less populated, so might it be that you just don't have any people there? Cause I assure you there is nary a time where I go in the lobby where there isn't some Japanese chat.

If they didn't speak in public then a bleeding public chat function would not be implemented. They're humans too.

[Mike]

If a ban is applied, it will be in place to stop non-Japanese IPs. This means anyone living outside of Japan is out and anyone living in Japan is in. Of course, there haven't been any blocks put in place.

While I don't intend to step into the fray here, I think the "spamming, symbol art, etc." generally has to do with the lobbies, not multi-party areas. Of course, I state this based only on what I read here on the English forums.

*goes back to eating popcorn and watching* Anyone else want some?

[Alenoir]

They are when they know everyone in the room can understand and speak Japanese. I've been in some emergency missions where everyone just chats normally. This is on ship 2.

You have normal players and the crazies who just spam symbol chat stuff, like gangnam style and EMERGENCY CODE: DISTRACTION of different things.

Usually the crazies stay in the ship, but I'll usually do some event like banther and you'l find 1 or 2 around, like this redhead human one who screams CAST SUPREMACY, but it isn't a major issue.

It'd be appreciated to have a some more normal and nice players :-P

Naturally they'll tell you that's it not for attention but if they stop to think for a minute they'll realize that they are simply this games attention ... the next word starts with a W and I'd rather not add it but you know what I'm getting at!

To be honest, it's not necessary to move unless you're doing it for friends on different ships.

If you come to ship 2 though, be prepared to spent loads of meseta in what I like to call Overpriced Metropolis.

I spend time on Ship 02 and Ship 10 and from my experience, the Weapons on Ship 10 as a whole are more expensive than similar ones on Ship 02. I think its because on Ship 02, their is ALOT more supply on particular items and just as much demand. So you will find people dropping prices lower and lower just to undercut the other vendors so they can grab a sale and still get a good profit. In Ship 10 their is less inventory so people feel like their is this "rareness" factor going on and sell for average prices that arent as low for the same item in Ship 02.

On Topic, im pretty happy where I am at, Ship 02 is my Main Ship and where I spend most of my time, but I also have a character on Ship 10. I felt my char on Ship 10 was kind of lonely and was thinking of bringing her to Ship 02. The main reason why I am on Ship 10 too, is because of a couple of friends, otherwise I would just have everything on Ship 02 since its where all of the action is at.
