How do the Japanese feel...

[Arika]

Well all I see in this thread is that people are worry too much to the small stuff.


First of all, did anybody ever read Bakuman? every high population country in the world is the same. Chinese, Japanese, America.. etc. You always have a small group of people complain about something all the time. And you most likely not even care anything about that. Same here, majority of JP don't care about us. Only a few that care and those who care are the one that posted. Naturally, the one that not care will not post at all, which is why u don't see much positive comment on it. It will just be left ignored like how the thread now get push down into 2nd page of the forum. No longer on top anymore. You should stop worry about that, because SEGA doesn't come out to post anything at all. I think they know that our connection isn't the reason of problem, obviously.

Another note is that, 70% of the post in gaijin thread is about Chinese and RMT. and also some other bad manner one.
If you don't be RMT or bad manner then you should not care.
If you have bad manner then you should fix it. Because JP community kidda care of how guest act. When we play on their server, they expect us to be a good guest and as polite as them.

That, I find, is a much more acceptable reason for being against us/our presence and ask for an IP ban. Our presence does kind of go against the purpose of a beta, since many of us cannot properly report (or report at all) on the issues we find.

But yeah, the Japanese not being happy about non-JP players sneaking in, nothing new...

That is incredibly stupid to think.

First of all, Most people don't have a clue on how to report bugs and glitches so it doesn't really matter because they aren't going to get a proper report from anyone in specific.

Secondly, even when the few people that do know how to beta test do get those invites they, like everyone else goes through a department that reads through all the reports, organizes them, and tries to assign importance while doing the same thing with the in house finds, and then those bugs found by the players have to be found and then figured out by the in house testers and then a proper report has to be written up.

Thirdly, Given that both of those are the case, and PSO-W is actually the biggest PSO fanbase, at leas in the US, out there it is likely that those PR people are checking up on this site. It would be such a faux pas to not have people looking on this site and whatever the biggest site is over there that if I were the head of Sega and found out my PR department wasn't checking up on them i'd probably be firing some people or at least giving some people a talking down.

Above post summarized the point. Few days ago on Ship 2 Block 20, few players simply left after the quest is completed without a single message of thank you.
Changing the manner and behaviour will greatly help. I think later night I will play with japanese party despite my limited kana.

It's kind of funny that they blame us for the lag when the lag only really occurs during the Japanese peak times (4-10pm JST I've noticed). The servers are pretty stable from midnight their time, so I hardly think it's our fault.

I've partied with some nice Japanese players, and some absolutely awful ones who insulted me purely for having my name in English! You get all types, there's not much you can do about it at the end of the day.

Some are like that. Not all.
I still remember back on FFXI when I was dead in a zone and an elvaan (stupid me almost said newman) was passing by and I used the auto chat to ask them for a raise.

They knew very well I was asking for a raise but all they would say is "Sorry, I don't understand."
But of course when I finally started typing to them in japanese asking for some help for a raise, they got so friendly that they literally raised me AND escorted me back to town and gave me some gil/money before going back to business.

That is not possible at all. Japanese name their own char as English to for majority. At least 65%-70% they use English name. So the same guy would blame everyone he met then? there must be other reason that he insulted you. However, do that care that kind of people. I already said that there are always the side that will dislike anything. You just met that one. (but make sure always polite first)

ingame all japanese people i meet are very nice, when i usualy say hi or ask some questions they answer in english as wel and they ask where i come from and such. had some great co-op groups already. i dont understand where the lag comes from though. mostly from 8 am to 12-14ish pm europe time the servers start lagging. the rest of the day its perfect. not a single bit of lag ever.

Funny you mention this!

One of the top threads on the Japanese Closed Beta BBS is actually about Foreigners being on the game...and its not very positive
Some are even saying we are causing the servers to lag and even go down, as was the case of Block 20...these people also proposed IP blocking to keep us out. Overall pretty negative stuff about us being on this beta...
The odd clever person added positive comments such as overseas markets being full of SEGA fans who would like to take part in these types of pre-release tests and frankly i can only agree...both on our behalf but also from a marketing perspective.

Enh, I don't care.:P Not like they're not like this in other games anyways, even with official unified servers.

Plus, the whiners of the milk rise to the top like the cream de la creme of whiners. I imagine it's just like the official BBS on any other MMO in any country(whine whine whine moan moan moan whine!). It's like going to the official World of Warcraft forums or anything else really.:P

And, the purpose of beta is also stress testing. BETA IS BETA. It's something people here are complaining about with the Diablo III and Mists of Pandaria beta, as well as the upcoming Guild Wars 2 Closed Beta Test Weekend #1 on April 27th(surely, this is going to happen- "I PRE-PURCHASED NOW GIVE ME A FULLY WORKING DEMO!"). People act entitled to a full-game experience while something is under testing. Emergency maintenance happens, bugs happen, and especially login issues and lag issues ALWAYS happen. It's a test for a reason, someone should really tell the Japanese whining community minority that. Pretttty darn entitlted, in my humblest opinion. Especially since the lag is occurring during peak hours in Japan, when a lot of the miniscule international community is asleep.

Just goes to show you have jacks in every region, and decent people. You just pray that you find the latter!

Personally, I have not encountered a single problem thus far, and I have a working knowledge of Japanese(but I just usually stay quiet anyhow, it's my style in any online game I play).

i mainly bene soloing and ran into some one named SARAH in ship 2 forgot what block though. debateing on what could be good idea or what should be told to sega in feedback stage

[BIG OLAF]

I've yet to even talk to a Japanese person on the Beta. I've mostly been in Block 20, talking with everyone from here and/or other English locales.

I'm not outwardly social anyway, and only engage in conversation once someone else projects one towards me (unless I know the 'targeted' individual). So, the JP community wouldn't have to worry about me being 'annoying.'

...unless I'm yukking it up with some friends. But, hey, if they get all stuffy because I'm having fun with some pals, then up theirs.
