Can't Connect to the Beta, Now Thinking of Skipping PSU Alto

[Z-man]

Well, I've been a fan of PSO since the Dreamcast days and I've played several versions since and loved all of them. I was so excited when I found out the beta was up this morning.

Then I tried connecting. Again and again and again. But I keep getting that damn interrupt request error message. I've tried resetting my settings on LIVE, plugging the modem directly into the 360...nothing works. I've tried for hours all day and I've finally given up.

I'm so disgusted by this and by the lack of a solution by Sega that I'm strongly considering skipping PSU altogether. If there are this many problems now, who's to say there won't be more throughout. And we get to pay $10 a month for that?

[mogshaz]

If you don't want to pay the game then skip it dude. I agree, why waste your money if your not sure a game will work?

[Kyuu]

... Well, if you're seriously considering skipping PSU because of this, when the Beta (keyword: Beta) has been up for all of one day, when they specifically mentioned that there will be a limit on the number of people who can be online at once, and when you didn't pay a dime for it... then all I can say is, you won't be missed.

Just for clarity, my aim isn't to mock your frustration. Frustration is understandable. Blind rage about something insignifanct like an inability to get onto a free demo version of a game really isn't. People who get so upset about things like this really need to reevaluate their priorities.

It has nothing to do with server load and everything to do with Sega's incompetance. I've scoured every message board looking to diagnose this connection problem and discovered that there are a portion of users that cannot connect regardless of the amount of time they've tried. It simply makes no sense.

I'm not compaining that I spent money on something here. I understand that the beta is obviously free. However, a problem this large-- a demo wholly unplayable by a large percentage of users for no discernable reason-- is just ridiculous. And it absolutely destroys my faith in Sega's ability to run decent servers.

Ouch, lay off the man. He's just ticked that he can't play Beta, you would be also if you were in his situation.

It's extremely unfortunate that some can't log into Beta even after downloading it. For that, I give you my condolences. Cool your head a little and give PSU another shot when it's released. You certainly won't regret it in the long run if you enjoyed PSO.

[Miyoko]

So, you're angry at Sega for being unable to play the game, and yet, you read the disclaimer that said you might not even get on in the first place...?

... Not to mention, this is something FREE, and you're bitching?

... Jeez, if that's the kind of person you are, then I hope you -do- decide to skip it.

I agree. If you think it will be a bad idea to pay for the game its tiem to man-up and make a big boy decision to not spend your money.

THIS IS A BETA.
There is going to be SERVER issues as with 100% of every other beta that made it to the Market. Some People can Connect, and Some can't.
The BETA hasn't even been up for 24hrs.

The Point of this BETA is to see how the Servers Handle, and to get Bug Reports. (Check #16)
Everyone Stay Calm, I got some koltova pie for everyone. Smile

I'd say that Sega has a lot to learn about they way they handle their business and that while I'm glad I got on, it's a long series of mistakes like the day one beta mess that has lead to Sega going from the top of the console business to a 7th-8th place third party developer.

yea aggreed, a boy who goes into a world class hissy fit because hes unable to play a game that had no guarentee that he would be able to play in the first place.

[Tomeeboy]

Chill with the flaming and aggression guys. Yes, not being able to connect is annoying, but that is the whole reason they are letting people play for FREE so that the servers can be stress tested. They are doing this so that these problems will hopefully not exist when you are actually paying for the game.

The beta only allows a certain number of player to on the server simultaneously. too bad you can't connect. Once the game goes retail, the server will not have that restriction. If you were paying for the game, I would agree with you but now I guess you are going to have to wait for a less busy time or october 26th.

So basically you're saying that Sega is the only MMO maker to ever have problems, or that only Sega's problems count, and we'll just delightfully ignore that pretty much every other MMO ever has had problems upon problems from start to finish?

Otherwise, I'm not sure I understand how you might reason that the comparison is invalid.

Right because your first post "don't let the door hit you on the way out" was just loaded with respect. You can't have it both ways. You want to be curt and dismissive, that's great. But don't come back in and play this false voice of reason thing. It doesn't work.

I really love this logic. Because in using it you can make arguments like this:

-Don't complain about gas prices until you can run an oil refinery yourself.

-Don't complain about someone in your family getting cancer unless you enroll in medical school to find a cure.

-Don't complain about cold temperatures until you can manipulate weather patterns on your own.

Thanks for the chuckle.

Mmm, no, my reading comprehension is dead on. You're just choosing to hear what you want to hear.

You said yourself that you read the note saying you might not be able to get on... Do I need to show it to you?

Every game has its launch problems, not to mention, this is a BETA. I'm pretty sure Sega doesn't give a shit weather you connect or not right now, because, you know, it's going to last for one week.

Not to mention, now you're only insulting everyone here, and acting egotistical like your epenis is the most important thing in the world. You're quickly making many enemies, and no friends at all.

Every online game ever has problems for the first couple of weeks to a month, it's not caused by incompetance, it's simply the development cycle of an online game.

Grow up and deal with it, if you dont like it, dont play, no-one will miss you.
Being a flaming swearing child on an internet forum isnt going to change anything.

look dude wer all sry that you couldn't connect but that means they'll fix the problem after beta i would be in blind rage to but dont worry the actual game is gonna be fine

[Sizzors]

Just to note: (haven't read so refrain from flaming if it has been said)

1. Connection problems are your problems, not the games problems
2. LAG is the games problem and not your fault
3. BETA, not OFFICIALY REALEASED GAME

PSU will be better, this is a demo.

If you were following the status of the JP release, youd know it was incompetence. At least in your timeframe. Even after a month of total hell they still managed to blotch something up recently. Although it's fixed, it still was a terrible amount of delay to live through. Also, you'd also know about how stupid the PC/PS2 beta tests were as well in terms of being a BETA TEST and how "great" their netcode is.

[Saigan]

This is better than "Passions" XD

Seriously though, I've seen hundreds more ONLINE than I've heard of people unable to get online. I had to spam the connection for about an hour after I got timed out. Also- there are tons of newbies to Phanta on there. (An example of this is one guy razzing me about "how the **** did you join my party you hacker!" when he didn't set a password.

>.< Half the people I've played with kept asking me how to jump or block. It may actually be more frustrating to have to play with these guys than not be able to connect.

[Yoiyami]

You have to keep in mind that you aren't really playing the game. This is for testing purposes only, not for enjoyment. Logging on to beta means that you're going to help find glitches and bugs. The bonus is getting an idea of what the game will be like. An IDEA of it since you're not playing the entire game.

So for anyone to review and judge the game now is unfair. But it's up to you. I'm sorry you're frustrated and disappointed.

Huh? Granted there was a lot of issues those first two weeks, but once World 2 was installed... well, it was just as bad, actually. But from that point forward, it got much better. The delay in content was a downer, I admit, but for the past month(?) or so it's been quite nice. Mistakes have happened, but more importantly, they've been corrected. I don't think anyone else, had they been in Sonic Team's place, would have responded much better than they in spite of what's occurred.

Edit: You guys (both sides) need to stop perpetuating this back and forth nonsense flaming. It's ridiculous.

awwwwwwwwww can widdle baby not get his fwee game awwwwwwwwwwwww


You self centered prick, what gives you the right to bitch about something you can fix yourself. Its been stated several times over on the OFFICIAL forums that its either the Server is overloaded from people downloading and playing the client, IF so then just let it slide you were too slow at getting it OR its your ISP's fault combined with your xbox's automated settings combined with the static DNS given out by segas server. If your not gonna take the time to even try and fix it yourself then what kind of man are you? Did you really think bitching about it in these forums would get you sympathy or get someone to fix it for you?

[krika]

There is almost always server issues when new online games is out. Just live with it, they will fix it.
And remember, just becouse you cant connect doesn't mean that it's something wrong on the servers. It could be your router as well.

Dude, Z-Man I used to play with ya. Don't know why you'd be a quitter like this. It's a beta it won't be perfect. When PSO first came out it had problems the first couple of days as well due to overwhelming traffic. We were both there, we both know.

Don't fucking play the game if you are just gonna bitch about it.

Holy shit people are dumb.

If you've played as many betas on the first day as I have, getting the servers working on the first day with a game as highly anticipated as this, is an amazing feat. Not the other way around.

I agree with Aberu. You're right. ^_^

Z-man, it's a beta. You can't let beta results determine the factors of the game. It's a demo that was downloaded from the system's international database. When you buy the actual game, which is a disc that has everything on it, it'll be different.

Discs are more realiable than dinky "preview" files.

If you were following the status of the JP release, youd know it was incompetence. At least in your timeframe. Even after a month of total hell they still managed to blotch something up recently. Although it's fixed, it still was a terrible amount of delay to live through. Also, you'd also know about how stupid the PC/PS2 beta tests were as well in terms of being a BETA TEST and how "great" their netcode is.


Huh? Granted there was a lot of issues those first two weeks, but once World 2 was installed... well, it was just as bad, actually. But from that point forward, it got much better. The delay in content was a downer, I admit, but for the past month(?) or so it's been quite nice. Mistakes have happened, but more importantly, they've been corrected. I don't think anyone else, had they been in Sonic Team's place, would have responded much better than they in spite of what's occurred.

Edit: You guys (both sides) need to stop perpetuating this back and forth nonsense flaming. It's ridiculous.

Mistakes on a similar scale do not need to be happening during full retail service. Which it is in now. I really wouldn't have minded that content delay were it during that beta test month.
