Test PM from PSO-Hack on Ship2?

[kurokyosuke]

I... what?

Anything I search for via Visiphone results in nothing. It just hangs without showing me any results. I heard that other clients crashed, but this happened to myself and a friend. Not sure what to do...

[Sirius-91]

Every JP is flipping out over it on twitter.

[Tomo-Kinji]

Whenever this thing happens, player shop is the first thing you can't access. 2nd is player search function. Pretty much most of visiphone function.

[final_attack]

I got one too.

Oh, so, that's why I can't search the visiphone (searching for items in player shops) -.-

[Shinamori]

Don't feed them.

[Misaki Ki]

It's happened before.

It's pretty annoying because it breaks the player shops. I believe relogging fixes it, but I can't recall exactly for sure. (I wasn't online for this one.)

[kurokyosuke]

Well, at least it's just Visiphone functions. I thought it was something a lot more serious than that.

[Ephidiel]

Ship2 *facepalm*

Srsly there is probably an english speaking group behind
And that in return wiĺl put a bad light on others

[Dan Maku]

inb4allenglishisbanned

[Shinamori]

It's only 1~2 people.

[seilent]

Happened to me 2 days ago, can't search stuff in shop, relogging fixes it..

[TaigaUC]

Third time I've seen it happen in the past month or two.
I only log in to send GJs or an occasional EQ, too.

Wonder when SEGA will actually bother fixing the exploit.
Third time's the charm?

[gaijin_punch]

What level of lonely virgin in mom's basement hacks a game? 8?
Never really understood this mentality, and I'm from a computer background. O_o

[K.O. Kazjivo]

I relogged and it still wasn't fixed, guess I'll have to wait it out?...

[DJcooltrainer]

It seems to be the same people who have done this before. I heard they were crashing blocks on Ship 2 randomly over the weekend, too. They'll get banned, make new accounts, and be back to do it again sometime again in the future. It kind of sucks, they're really not helping with the way some Japanese players feel about the English community.

[TaigaUC]

Considering how many times it's happened and SEGA still hasn't fixed the exploits, I wouldn't be surprised if they just block foreigners because they're too lazy to fix it.

[kurokyosuke]

Okay so, my friend and I are likely going to jump ship if this shit keeps up. Although he can't, I can speak a decent amount of Japanese to hide my presence as a foreigner (though I go around telling almost every Japanese person I meet that I'm a foreigner, anyway...). What would be a good ship to switch to? Or should I make a new topic for this?

[Hobu]

Why not jump to either Ship 4 or 1? Both are good ships, but there's limited English-speaking players to talk to. There's like 10 International clans in Ship 1, dunno about 4.

[cheatpso]

i wouldn't worry about all these hacks it wont do nothing to you.. its just children who can't hack so doing these things are amazing to them... NULLIFYING the id of the user it gets sent to probably sends it to everyone. They won't stop until sega fix it. but i know sega they don't care. :-? so either live with it or find another game.

[cheatpso]

Happened to me 2 days ago, can't search stuff in shop, relogging fixes it..

thats a bug with english patch.

[Maenara]

I've seen way worse mods/cheats/packet edits/hacks being abused in other MMOs. There was even one where hackers could use packet editing to access the developer console. Talk about shitty security.

[kurokyosuke]

so either live with it or find another game.

Or, I could move to another ship where stupid stuff like this doesn't happen since I can buy AC. Since, y'know, Ship2 is the only ship it happens on.

[Maenara]

I wouldn't worry until they find a way to spawn bosses in the Arks Lobby where no one can fight back(And would probably cause significant issues with the server if not outright crash it because it wouldn't have any way to handle how to provide options for a player to respawn).

[kurokyosuke]

I use the Visiphone frequently enough for this to be a big problem for me, so I'd like to switch as soon as I can get some more AC.

[Venkas]

Changing ships is a band aid considering they will move to other ships and do the same thing.

This^ hahaha
It's called being an American "troll"

Edit: this won't result in ip ban tho right? I mean this has hapenned many times b4 o.O no need to panick?

[KatsuraJun]

No, the PSO2 secret police are probably going to backtrace the IP addresses of every gaijin player, find out their address of residence and gun down their entire family in front of them.

And they'll ban you on top of that.

[Shinamori]

They're not gonna waste money only to get banned.

[Daiyousei]

They're not wasting money if they just create an account on another ship.

[kurokyosuke]

Changing ships is a band aid considering they will move to other ships and do the same thing.

Would they really move ships, though? It seems that the people behind this only attack the server(s) with a noticeable English presence.

[Punisher106]

I say we find these people, and stomp on their throats.

But seriously, why the fuck would they do this? This is seriously starting to piss me off, they do this with every PS game.

[Vintasticvin]

Nyeh til they start "killing" other players then I would would consider worrying with my ween in my hand.

[Atmius]

They already do that from time to time in b20 though, or so I hear.

[Kantalope]

They already do that from time to time in b20 though, or so I hear.

Because b20 is always a reliable source of information.

[Shinamori]

it's true, though, They do this from time to time. Last time they did it was in late march I think.

[Alenoir]

But seriously, why the fuck would they do this? This is seriously starting to piss me off, they do this with every PS game.

It's called attention whoring, and they're getting exactly what they wanted right now.

[Silver Crow]

sega just ip ban foreigners already, the people who play will be those dedicated enough to pay for a fast JP vpn and learn the language, that's the only type of people sega should tolerate.

[pkemr4]

or use WTFast and use cracking software or etc for unlimited trial.

and just when i tought the cancer was gone it comes back for to cause more trouble.

[Alukard]

No matter how fast your vpn service is, it will still be slower than a direct connection. That being said, have fun doing consistent quads from england. Your reasoning is flawed as well, I'm not sure whether you didn't put much thought into it or if you're just completely retarded. Then again, not putting much thought into something you're going to post on a public board is completely retarded, so it's the latter one.

[Type of people]...[tolerate]. That's a contradiction. Tolerance isn't restricted to "type of people" it is exactly the other way around. Tolerance restricts you from favouring certain "type of people" due to your own premises. Here is what sega wouldn't have to tolerate: Hackers. There is no reason for you to tolerate the intolerant. The culprit is not the english player base. Stop raging, son.

[Friyn]

Implying IP block would stop the hackers. In fact, only thing it would do is harm AC sales coming from western front. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a xenophobic JP behind all the hacks.

[Shinamori]

This, just leave it alone and don't make topics about it.

[Vintasticvin]

LMFAO and the "Dark Falzes" will still come back on and cause problems to the server such a foolish fool you are thinking a region ban is going to save Ship 2.

[Kietsu]

It's only 1~2 people.

You clearly don't remember beta, wherein everyone just ASSUMED the hackers were English and Sega added the No Gaijins rule to the terms of service.

[Shinamori]

I never played beta.

[Pugas87]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a xenophobic JP behind all the hacks.

This. It's not hard to type a single english word into chat. How is this proof that particular hacker is english, or from any particular country for that matter. It's not proof, its merely a conclusion without substantial evidence. I also agree this thread is just feeding the hackers ego. I suggest admin should end thread.

[Silver Crow]

it was me, I'm loving the attention. mwahaha, all your visiphones are belong to us!

[Rakurai]

Things like this make me glad I chose to not play on Ship 2.

[TaigaUC]

As if xenophobic JPs need to impersonate foreigners.
It's like watering the garden when it's already raining.

[K.O. Kazjivo]

considering the fact that the account was called PSO-HACKS.com, I'd say the hacker is broomop

[Shinamori]

That's the name of the bot they use.

[btw-Niji]

This^ hahaha
It's called being an American "troll"
You do realize this guy isn't American, right?

[Yamishi]

I've seen the guys behind this, chatting in the lobby. They're going by the logic that if Sega's not banning them, then it's fine.

Personally, I'm worried that it will result in a region lock, much like how China is blocked from PSO2 right now. Sure would suck if we all lost our progress because a few guys just HAD to send whispers to everyone and warp around the lobby.

[infiniteeverlasting]

You do realize this guy isn't American, right?

well the only type of person i can think of that does this is an american :-? i'm american myself so yea... a lot of us are pretty ignorant, doing stupid things for our own entertainment without thinking first about how others will be effected. ^^; i'm only speaking from a highschool/biased point of view, so dont mind me.

[the_importer_]

This is why we can't have nice things :(

[AkumaYouji]

Why not jump to either Ship 4 or 1? Both are good ships, but there's limited English-speaking players to talk to. There's like 10 International clans in Ship 1, dunno about 4.

I'm on ship 4, there are a few English teams over here, but every person I've talked too that spoke English was from japan and were very nice and helpful. The people I've met on ship 04 seem to have the "you're not being a jackass so you're alright with me" attitude.

[SammyKiller]

I really doubt there will be an IP block anytime soon, Gaijins give way too much money from AC scratching for clothing to justify banning them. Just sayin', sometimes the casual part of the community saves the rest 'cause that same community probably spends the most money (even if it is stupid things such as clothes).

I'm pretty sure they even made the es version for us to get premium/ac easier.

This. I've spent more on this game than ever because of how easy it is to get AC now...

[GHNeko]

Why is it that gaijin is so frequently used in this board lol.

[FerrickX]

because irony is always a thing in pso-w XD
