PSO2 α2 - Bug Report and Feedback Translation/Submission Thread

[uhawww]

Translation/Submission requests are now closed.

Ground Rules:

• This is not a general tech support thread. This is NOT a discussion thread. For sake of clutter, I'd like to only see translation and submission requests for legitimate issues here. A bug request should only be submitted if the issue is deemed unresolvable by means of either troubleshooting for local problems, handling of local configurations, or upon research done via Sega's PSO2 troubleshooting FAQ. Please try to exhaust all options first. Your problem may have already been submitted, or your problem may already have a resolution.
• Translations will be sent to requester via PM. Bug Reports and feedback can be submitted using the REPORT option at the top of the PSO2 Players' Site. (Explanation below)
• Anyone wiling to provide assistance with translations is more than welcome. Simply post which report you will be translating and note when you have completed the translation and have sent it to the requester.
• I am livestreaming Alpha 2 footage during testing hours. As a result, I cannot promise that your issue will be translated, submitted, or responded to within the test period it was submitted. I will strive to have these completed before the start of the next test period.
• If you get personalized correspondence back from Sega requesting more information, or providing a solution, feel free to post it here for translating, same rules as above apply.
• An index of submitted reports, resolutions, and feedback will be amended below. If time allows, I will try to compile bugs and responses into something of our own little FAQ.
• Again, if anyone else wants to lend a hand, please do. I am but one man.

For Bug Reports, you will need:

• A detailed description of the issue
• Screenshot(s), if available.
• Your DirectX Diagnostic summary .txt file (Run: DxDiag > Save All Information...)
  (If, according to the DXDiag, your system does not meet the assigned minimum requirements of the game, it will have an adverse impact on Sega's ability to respond to your report.)

Edit: To conserve time, and because no contact information is required, for shorter feedback request, I'll go ahead and submit them on your behalf.

For Feedback:

• Provide a detailed explanation of your feedback and the reason why the change or modification would enrich the game or enhance a system already in place.
• Attachments are not accepted for Feedback
• Feedback requests have a lower priority than Bug Reports, and may take longer to complete. Feedback entries that do not deal with core gameplay may be translated, but have the lowest priority.
• Please refrain from discussing the merits/demerits of a feedback request in this thread. If it demands discussion, please take it to another thread.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to help out. It's nice to be lending a hand to the PSO-World community again.

Edit: Added notice about feedback for clarity. Translation requests are generally prioritized as follows: Bugs > Gameplay Feedback > System and Interface Feedback > Suggestions.

Reponses:

Game crashing at merchants:
Sega has responded to reports regarding game crashes when engaging merchants.
Current and future patches should reduce this incident. The problem seems to deal with the graphics adapter.
Recommended course of action:
1) Make sure your DirectX is up to date
2) Make sure your Graphics driver is stable. If you are using very new or beta drivers, consider downgrading to either the previous revision, or to WHQL signed versions.
3) If you are using a computer or laptop with an integrated graphics adapter, use a driver provided from the device manufacturer

Pretty generous and awesome of you doing this!

So here is some feedback:

Could I request that the Automatic screenshot function save in .PNG or maybe in .JPG? (Perhaps make it a choice?)
This would far better in saving space with minimal quality loss from the .BMPs that are currently be being used.
Currently at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 each screenshot is taking nearly 8MB!

Thanks.

How about a built-in video recording feature? It would be handy to have a video recording feature that has been optimized for this game (with several built-in presets for recording!) rather than use a 3rd party recording software.

I think SEGA wants gameplay feedback and bug reports, not...well this.

Thanks for doing this, here's a request for feedback translation.

Currently, leveling photon arts is done by finding them as drops. I believe this is an unfair and inneffective way of doing it. It makes it so that a player who has spent much time playing the game can be surpassed easily by someone who gets randomly lucky. No effort is required to gain skill, and our efforts go unrewarded with increases in skill. I am aware that the method in Phantasy Star Universe was not well regarded so I would like to suggest a compromise.

Why not use a skill tree? Simply allow players to gather experience in general pools towards Technic, Skill, or Bullet Photon Arts? They do so by using any photon art in one of those kinds. So using a skill will gain you skill experience, and using a technic will gain you technic experience. They can then use these general pools to gradually unlock higher level photon arts as they desire them. This way players hard work and effort is rewarded by guaranteed increases in skill and not random luck. No one ever gets better at something through random luck, they do so through hard work and determination. It should be no different for Photon Arts.

Thank you for your time and attention in this regard.

SEGA is accepting mainly gameplay feedback and bug reports from those that have PLAYED the game. This is not a wish list to completely change the game, just maybe make minor tweaks.

Do I really need to point this out?

Sega is accepting opinions and requests regarding PSO2. You might not be but Sega is.

So what you're proposing is PSU-style Photon Arts leveling except that you get to pick which Photon Arts to dump the leveling points into, right?
