I just wanna remind you guys that you're now Beta testers..
and that the NA Sonic Team department probably don't read these forums.. so yea, did they give you a place to report bugs and errors to?

I'm not saying don't let us know the stuff (heck, it's interesting~ I want it to keep comming). Just if you want these things fixed and refined and stuff, gotta let ST know, not just us. :]

This isn't a "beta". It's a demo, regardless of what Sega says it is. The game is finished, but Sega wants to build some excitement over the final release. Therefore, no, there's no bug reporting.

LOL, give us a place to report bugs? Thats a good one. heres a bit of a glitch for you:

If your talking to a shop keeper and someone walks up behind you and starts talking to the same shop keeper you won't see your own character on the side panel you will see there. I don't know if anything you will buy will go into their inventory or not (i was poor the whole time i played) but it was pretty irritating. Happened to me 3 seperate times.

It's not a "beta" in the traditional sense; the game is complete and no changes to gameplay will be made. This is more of a server stress test so that they can fine tune the servers and see what their limits are.

This is the 360 beta/ server do you think the PC ppl will run into the same things or cuz the PC beta was been over for a bit do you think they fixed things on the PC side?

Eh, that's probably accurate if they didn't even give somewhere in the Terms of Use statement. It is probably still abit of testing on their part though, checking server loads etc.

Well...most people see betas as trials anyways...they don't usually report bugs. Anyways, I think they should still report it so that it can be fixed...eventually...somehow. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

Yeah, except for right here http://phantasystaruniverse.com/news_beta.php where they have a bug reporting form for the 360 Beta.

Whatever, then. I stand by my original statement that this is a demo, however, as Sega can't really be serious about testing if it's only for five days.

Yea i'd say they just expect mostly reports on lag and other server issues.

It's for testing the servers!!! It's a BETA for the servers not a DEMO!!! There will probably be a single player "demo" later on, maybe even an online. This is a test to help get the servers working correctly!

They will need to update and improve the server for months and months after release. The BETA is to help the first week of the full release to run smoother. They explained all this for god sake!

So please report any bugs here - http://www.phantasystaruniverse.com/news_beta.php

It will help us all in the long run!

..Will character data carry over onto the full game?

No characters will be wipped.

"Beta Characters will not be available once the game releases. Since the Beta Servers are not 100% final, we will need to fully update them after the end of the Open Beta on the 18th."

Well as far as I can tell, it's open to North America.. (North America release~ I guess, aiming to set their servers up for their current market).
O_o I could be wrong, but it seems like all the connection issues are from the UK peoples.

A 5 day beta must mean that they pretty much have everything down, they just want to find and fix the small issues that're still hanging around. Refining it, in other words. And so far, all I've been seeing are small complaints and issues. So, so far so good.

Zolpner makes a good point. Don't forget to report any and all bugs no matter how small. ^_^
