GC players sometimes do appear in tiny little groups, but random players appear aswell, you can mention when you will be online (stating timezone) and maybe randoms will see your post and join aswell.
Welcome Btw.

If some are intersted, I'll ask my boyfriend to make somes vidéos of the game play on both consoles. That would be interesting, i have seen plenty of videos, from battle to challenge, to regular/normal gameplay and even unusual gameplay, but the videos you are sugesting aren't really a common sight...

The very 1st thing to do would be to find a way to backup your save, either by using server commands or by using tools or PSO itself to copy the save to another memory card. If things go well then you update the save before the next game, if things go bad and you lose something then you can easily r...

I think the hallo rappys are on strike this year, haven't managed to see a single one in over 100 runs. I know, it's not exactly what you wanted (if we get all technical about the picture), but i hope i can cheer you up a little. :wink: http://s11.postimg.org/s8jv9s7kx/pso_2014_10_18_01_27_06_17.png

I believe it was a game mechanic, not meant to really follow the story, it was a design decision probably.
But you are right, if rico entered ruins, then the door should have been open for you, the pillars were already activated.

I am getting mixed messages. All I want to do is play the game online with a friend, and not have to go through the levels alone and offline. I did that for 6 hours and I am either bad at the game (which could very well be the case) or the game was meant for a co-op experience because after 6 hours...

You said that certain things were allowed because they couldn't be detected, if they can't be detected, you can't judge that person gameplay no matter how non original it may be. The problem was the narrow view that included only 1 single thing while neglecting all the other mods/patches, some of wh...

Well technically it's allowed because it can't be detected and at the same time as you read it can't be used. There is also the information that you simply need to specify it to the other team members and if they accept then there isn't any worries, either that or lock the game. What should you do? ...

I guess it was a method to prevent cheating, sega also implemented a basic legit checker on the servers, but none of them were actually effective at preventing cheating and other annoyances. In a way it made sense to use something of the sort, but now it's something that only causes trouble, unlike ...

This seems to be a PSO v2 Dreamcast issue i suppose. If your vmu has gameshark codes or codebreaker codes alongside with the actual saves, then the game will detect the codes (doesn't matter what codes are or even if it's an options save file) and remove all rare drops and all items with 9 or +9 sta...

My most recent one, made it myself

Spoiler!

No, not really. If the majority of the players that didn't fsod played as a humar, then can i assume that beeing a humar ingame makes you more likely to avoid a fsod? no. It does seem that ppl are safe in an area as opposed to another, does it matter? no. Players simply record that "moment"...

Yes, but the problem was specifying an area as the culprit when that is not the case, areas cannot avoid FSOD, there is no safe area, pioneer will not prevent FSOD.

Why it happens on cd-r copies? no idea, i don't know and i don't pretend that i do.

like crashing any time someone loads into the game while you're not on Pioneer 2. Not true, according to reports dating years ago (around the time sylverant was appearing) testing was conducted to determine flaws or bugs in autoconnect disks (to resume ives wasn't interested in autoconnect disks, l...

Well, dc-talk already had issues with the entire PSO server thingy, it was brought up actually by a member i shall not mention (the hat will serve him i suppose) and i assume the explanations displayed here are not far off if compared with the ones that were given to the host at the time, the host d...

The "grinding" sound that many people complain about is just the head moving back and forth. That's not the lens reading, and it shouldn't hurt anything. That pretty much explains why i never had issues with the lens. The loadings will be faster and while it's usually to small for anyone ...

You might be mistaken blue, quests were done by sega and i'm not really sure about the "free", but even so, they never gave permission and that is not the same as "we can obviously use them". You can't use stuff and then defend yourself saying "you didn't say if it was allow...

Well for the most part everything seems fine and even if we ignore the hosting of a website that has the download for the game itself, there is something else.

The quests.

Do i care? not really and i believe others don't either.

The problem nyck, is that after the rules came out, some players defended and that is with the only way they can, they either play elsewhere or they lock games. Sometimes players complain that all they see is locked games, that added to the lvl requirement and quests sometimes creates the case where...
