CBT IS OVER! See all of you in Feb!


Since the Vita Closed Beta Testers have received their product code already, I figure this will be a good time to start getting all the testers together in one place. :3 All the better for ensuring that we all manage to hit level 10 as well as always have a party on hand during the test. :3

Anyway, that said, this thread is for:

Gathering all the english speaking beta testers
Organising parties and other things (Ship, Block, etc) ahead of time
Discussion, (if allowed by the NDA), troubleshooting, etc


I'll try to maintain this and put up a list as more people post.

Well maybe it was just karma since I was the first NA person to play PSO2 vita at the TGS.... I'm also in the closed beta :)

sandylecuistot
Jan 8, 2013, 03:58 PM
My girlfriend was chosen for the beta, but we could like to play on my japanese account instead.
Is it possible ?
It seems entering the code is possible, but there may be errors after...
What do you think ?

Edit < Seems to be good. I will be on, the 15 then ! Probably named "Alice", if possible.

I'll most likely login using my current SEGA Id and make a new chara name: タマモの萌.

Just finished D/L and in game menu. Seems like they only have 2 Ships available that doesn't work right now.

Oh well...

BTW they still use the same OP for now... XDc

Crystal_Shard
Jan 8, 2013, 09:26 PM
^ What blace said. :3 Also, I've updated the first post.

Yunamon, you might want to take down the image of the title screen. I'm not sure just how strict Sega will be and we don't want any unwanted attention on the english beta testers, ne? :3

We (or at least I) will comment and post as much as we are allowed to, but for the first few days at least, give us some time to get an idea of the boundaries we've been given. Please don't be too overzealous and lose your spot by posting on a whim. ^_^ On another note, it's not needed to share your PSN (SEN) ID just yet, because the game is likely to use your in game name instead of your PSN anyway.

Anyway, if any of you already know which of the test days you are very likely to be on, please PM me so that I can put it up in the first post. I'd rather you not post it in the thread where it might get lost. ;)

I should be playing principaly during the "last" (4-6) hours because it begins quite early where I live.
My character will most certainly be a Racaseal named Alice ^^ .
A friend of mine should be playing as well in the afternoon (so that should be the last 2-3 hours at most) and another one only the 19 and 26,, on saturday.

Crystal_Shard
Jan 9, 2013, 11:25 AM
@sandylecuistot: Not sure if I quite catch your meaning. Which days will you and your friend be playing? :3 Might be easier to PM me with the details. If you can also provide your time in GMT, that would be quite helpful.

Oh, and I'm only posting player, rather than character names, though I might still add that in later if people want.

@BlasterDark: It may be against forum rules to ask for or exchange the CBT product keys... I certainly know exchanging account details is banned.

@alatnet: Added. :3 Is your player name going to be alatnet or koneko btw?

Crystal_Shard
Jan 9, 2013, 06:15 PM
Heh, 10 million. Didn't Sega recently celebrate getting 1 million registered players for PSO 2? Anyway, 100k sounds reasonable given the sales of Vita vs PSO 2 players. :3

As for linking the SEN account to the Sega ID account, I would note that while this is conjecture, you probably can't link accounts until the servers are actually up for the tests. I would speculate that the procedure is similar to the first time you connect via PC - you just log in with your Sega ID and the SEN you are on gets registered to account you use.

Updated the first post. :3

@Infinity Series: I didn't see that little footnote previously. Hmm. I wonder if that's been confirmed or not, but if it has, that looks like it will be useful for someone without the Vita physically. I do note that it says you need to activate, download and log in to the client on the Vita first though.

@yunamon: There might be a few people who don't want to publicize their PSN/SEN (like me :3) so I didn't include that yet. I can add it for those who want to share IDs though.

I really would like to play with someone who discover the game as well (just played 1 hour, creating a character and doing the first forest mission, that's all) or play in a close way from mine.
I'm not the type of player who tries to farm and do each mission in the fastest and most efficient way, especialy at the beginning.
Just enjoying the game at first, then thinking about the other things.

And I don't know if it's important or not but I have good knowledge in japanese, so I have no trouble in menus. I could also understand some story parts I guess, depending on the lexical field.

Edit > I find a japanese message with this code :
B9RK-LHNB-T5N3
If someone wants to try it...
I don't think it'll work, but there's no harm in trying.

i tried the code, no luck :(

i signed up, but forgot that i linked a fake email to my account >.<, so when i created the actual account, i was too late...

if ANYONE has a spare beta key, that they dont want or have spare, i would be forever in your debt if you PM'ed me the key...i was a PSO2 PC beta tester and i would love to do the same for the vita

thanks guys <3

Made a few small updates to the first post.

@alatnet: That's not the PSN/SEN I'm putting up yet though, just your intended player name on the Vita CBT servers. Did I get it wrong?

@sandylecuistot, thepspgamer: I'm not sure if asking for and posting CBT keys is allowed by the forum, so the mods might delete those posts later, but to be realistic, any code you find online is likely to be snapped up or invalidated as soon as you notice it. :3

Im not sure if this is happening, or if maybe it's a bad idea (thus was not mentioned already?)...Is it maybe a good idea to post our Japanese PSN ID's so we can all add each other up as Playsation Network friends before we even get ingame? I figure it'd make communication a little easier maybe. Just a thought :)

I think they're referring to the Fighter, Gunner and Techer classes as they said something about being left behind by PC players.

To even use those classes, you have to be level 30 on the "starter" classes before being able to unlock the other classes.

@zoltron, Taigarr: Nope, no such luck. We had to make do with a glorified phone style virtual keyboard in Infinity, and a qwerty style one in vanilla. Still, the touch screen on the Vita should make chat considerably easier than it was previously.

Btw, zoltron, seems like I forgot to reply to another of your posts much earlier. I don't mind adding an optional section for PSN/SEN IDs for those of you who want to share those. Just drop me another PM and I'll add it in when I have some time.

No. Phantasy Star PSP did not support voice chat. Hardly anything other than a couple of military shooters, on the PSP, supported voice chat. I wouldn't hold my breath on it. Still, at least Vita typing is less painful than PSP typing, and there's still auto-words and such. A PSP2 idea carried over.

I think they're referring to the Fighter, Gunner and Techer classes as they said something about being left behind by PC players.

To even use those classes, you have to be level 30 on the "starter" classes before being able to unlock the other classes.

That was exactly my point :-) .
I also know for the "condition", I hope it was not spoiler, I did not think about it ^^; .
I showed the video to someone yesterday and I remembered how it could be good

I'm in the beta too, I would recommend using the PSO2 Community Chat IRC that I've been hosting for nearly a year (http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=7b07e001c5b60a710c604dc3058342a0&server=irc.seraphimlabs.net&channel=%23pso2) (direct link should work without installing anything)

Anyone with clients:

irc.seraphimlabs.net
#pso2

I would be up for group messaging, but I honestly feel that this would work the best. As it did so in Alpha 2, CBT, Pre-OBT and OBT.

With how fast the game is, typing with the d-pad doesn't help. Sure they're typos with a touch screen input, but it's generally faster.

There's always something exciting about being part of a beta test. :3 Anyway, the controls are decent, though coming from a Razer Naga/ Nostromo combo, it's a bit clunky for me. :3 As always, the keyboard sucks. Guess it's a portable tradition.

Btw, is there any one who could do feedback translations to Japanese, in case someone wants to send it some feedback to Sega? This is a Beta Test after all, and the more feedback they get, the better.

Those of you who want to join the CBT team, look for Cornelia during the next timeslot, at least until we have more managers deployed. We have a team called PSOW running with three members currently.

Vita version plays mostly like the PC version. >_>

It was interesting to play through the game as a new character that have nothing on. 5 under lv10 people fighting against a lv20 Ragne is lolnope when everyone's using basic equips and PAs/techs. Not within 10 minutes.

Takes a while to get used to the control unless you change it to type 2. In which case it still takes a while to get used to 'cause now you can't use the down arrow to palette swap. :<

Too late to confirm today, but possibly. It won't affect the main game since the servers will be cleared once the CBT is over anyway.

Iirc, the vendor prices are the ones after the nerf, lol.

It took me a while to get used to the button configuration, and mostly makes me feel like I shouldnt take it too seriously since my PC pad config is way more flexible than this...I can't blame them, though...it's a portable system and it's totally justifiable they opted to reduce the buttons functionality.

As for gameplay, it feels okay UNTIL you enter to a full MPA. It really got laggy at city when you tried to destroy a Baize and everyone was going haywire against it. Also, did anyone else have problems with sound effects being cut abruptly? I dont mind the music being cut from block to block, but stuff like voices being cut out of nowhere can disappoint some people.

The game itself is well suited for a Vita, but it certainly needs a lot of improvements.

Why is your opinion the same as mine down to the details on this? Lol

I have to say though, the abundance of AC clothing was cool. It seems this beta takes a lot from the current game structure, aside from the tekker and maybe grinding prices as mentioned before.

@Cornelia: Vendor prices for the 1*s were about the same, slightly more I'm thinking before the nerf. P

Many of the problems you are talking about are mentioned by Sega on the beta page.
For example, I'm sure I saw the sounds problem on the website.
I did not check if it was meant to stay still through the all beta or only today.
I was too tired to look for everything.

I could take a look again, but I remember seeing something about weapons and palettes too.

Oops, I didnt know they noticed that right when servers became up. I just went straight to play at 3:00pm JST and didnt check any other game info :/

But yeah, you're right...that stuff and some more are mentioned here: http://pso2.jp/vita/cbt/news/?id=6

I am "rappy" to help at least with this :p .
Concerning the more little areas...
For someone who did not play the PC version, would it be obvious ?

Anyway, the only thing I absolutely want is the Free/random field. This is really THE thing I needed from PSO1. I just love to roam somewhat freely where I want to.
Do we see weather changes in the beta ? (I only saw the forest with rain and I also loved it very much)
It's interesting to make the environement feel different.

Yeah, weather changes are in. Free fields as well. With a friend, I managed to have the free field unlocked in probably... 2 hours or so of play at most? It actually could have been faster if we were more focused on it.

I only got to lv 10 in the 3 and a half or so hours I played and didn't start anything in caves before that time so I'm not sure how things after that go. I would hope the caves don't drop frames or anything.

I'm pretty sure you can and it would be a great idea as reviews from new players as extremely important I think.

Excellent news. Now I will have to find someone to play with as my friend can't, I'll see...
I also saw that "all" the fields would be available in Normal difficulty someday which is quite interesting too.

It doesn't change the fact that you have to bhe chosen AND to register 1 time on the vita so that you can play on PC.
Seriously... I can't play with a friend just because I used the product code on the wrong psn ID, this is ridiculous -_- .
It's not like I was hacking something.

not so much a review but guys all i can say that 7 hrs later and I'm still grinning from ear to ear......... I dunno maybe its cos its been such a long wait and there's nothing else half as good IMHO on the vita to date and probably wont be again for ages (or until Killzone Mercenaries arrives hopefully at least)..... but I am pretty impressed with it so far especially when you look at just how much they have squeezed in from the full PC experience in terms of graphics, gameplay, in game mechanics and animation, even throwing in utilities like chat and ALL of this over 3g (at the mo?)!!!!

It would be unfair to compare it to pc for obvious reasons, but all i can say is it looks like PSO2, it plays like PSO2, it feels like PSO2 and its on my vita!

Despite all the rough edges here and there, this right here..... right here in my pocket, IS PSO2 (had to apologise to my wife cos thought it was something else ;-))..... yes PSO2 and by that I mean not just by name....

Jan 15, 2013, 07:40 PM
yeah i hate it when people brag about pc and vita comparisons of pso2, but imma be honest. before i played the beta i was worried that it was gonna be SUPER LAG in it because the way the vids looked on youtube. However it went smoothly and it put all of my worries at ease. Besides that, i dunno if anyone noticed this but during a quest i can sometimes hear sound effects (sword swings or someone charging zan i think) near me yet no one is around. anyone else noticed this too?

The game did in fact suffered framerate drop, both during the opening FMV and during an MPA when a Beize is attempting to eat everyone next to it. Didn't noticed anything other than those two occasion though, and I was in a PSE burst with around 10 other people. (Granted, none of us have Gifoie or PB.)

Edit: Yeah, people's JA sound effect happening right next to you is probably another bug (this was not noted on the site). It made finding the MPA pretty hard.

And on the strange PSN acc twist you suffered... I dunno how you did it but when I login into my Sega ID it automatically linked with my Vita's current account AKA the JP account...

Somwhat yeah.
I was thinking using the code on another psn account might not be a good idea and I should have listen to myself :-x .
What's done is done.
The most important thing is that the final release reaches the best level it can.

Sega wrote something about it in the beta website, nothing to be affraid of ;-) .

While it's easy enough to find people in block 20 (usually we hang out at the Visiphone/Item Storage booths to the left or right of the gate area), the easiest method by far to find people is to perform an Arks Search in the Visiphone. If memory serves, it's the 3rd option in the Visiphone, followed by the option to search for a character, a team, or player, in that order.

If I am looking for Cornelia for example, I can just walk up to the Visiphone and do a character search for the character, then send a whisper to let her know that I'm going to send my Arks Card. I can't recall the exact option which corresponds to sending the card in this menu - should be the 2nd to last on the list of options I think. I'll confirm this later and update it in the first post.

I'll probably post my thoughts on the game once I'm past level 10 later today. :3 Still looking for a volunteer to do a feedback translation for us to send in feedback to Sega btw. Any takers?

Waah, that was... interesting !
I must say I love the game and I'm really looking forward to its release.

As the graphics is not as impressive as the PC version (which is quite normal) I must say the feeling is right here.
I managed to be level 9, with free forest unlocked and finished one time.
Could not play with anyone else, but I guess It'll have to wait for the full release.

I can thank the nice player who stayed calm while I was completely lost between 2 menus even though I understand most of it XD.
Seems to be a great game really. I'm not disapointed at all.

The only thing that I don't like that much is the fact that you almost always meet someone in a quest whether or not you actually want to...

So I was thinking...
If you go in a block almost empty, won't you have less risk to see this multi party thing ?
It's just that it would be relaxing to be able to tackle a free place without someone who kills half of the thing on you way.

If you password lock your party and select the second bubble, nobody will be able to join your multiparty area. The first bubble only locks off your party.

Unlike other MMOs, there's no "kill steal" in this game, and everyone gets the same EXP and individual drops on their own screen. But yeah, if you want to just solo your way through, lock the MPA.

Hopefully a Ragne doesn't spawn for you. >_>

I crossed both, not just the second, but didn't put a pass. Should try that, thanks a lot if that really works ! (not that I don't trust you, but it would be amazing and I'm kinda pessimistic sometimes :p .

In fact, the reason behind this not that I want to be alone especially, but that I just want to be with the party I'm in, whoever the players are in.

Simple example : I ask a friend who want to try the game and I go with him in the forest to play at really slow pace, to make him understand the game, his class...
See numbers behind walls and items on the ground everywhere surely will only be confusing and less comfortable.
To have the choice is what matters, so I'm quite relieved and will definitely try it out :) .

The vardha EMQ surprized me the most. I managed to last only 5 secs before getting murdered by a laser. I enjoyed the short battle, even though it was like a complete slaughterhouse most of the time and seeing other players being launched like "Human cannonballs" off the radar was priceless x) O and btw if anyone who play the vita port of the cbt wanna add me to their psn friend list, feel free to do so. my SEN ID is on my profile page
