Yeah thats what we were running. Anything that wasn’t pso2 would crash or lock up.
I don’t think that has anything to do with pso2 though, but more to do with that shitty gameguard program.
Does it work if you run the game in window mode?
Edit : Awwww yeah in the user_beta.pso2 file changing
VirtualFullScreen = false,
to
VirtualFullScreen = true,
gives you borderleess window mode.
Seeing the beta in motion makes me want to play this game. It’s still going to suck though.
Yes, a man who constantly slams PSO got into the beta. Be jealous.
Awww, you can only assign a few options to the extra mouse buttons 
this makes me sad as hell. I wanted to bind weapon action to one of the extra mouse buttons but I can’t.
Also you can’t change the keys you can use for 1-9 either (other than changing the whole set of hotkeys to something else)?
To the people getting invites, just to let you guys know that most of the English speaking players are on Ship 2, well at least those from PSO World, but the people from the P4A forums are there as well.
Hmmm, so are rangers and force stupidly good again?
Have only tried a hunter and a ranger to level 3 and the ranger’s mobility makes everything easy mode. Having to stay still while attacking with hunters is lame as hell in comparison 
. Rangers have that run and gun gameplay going on. Also, bazookas are slow but uh… AoE each hit makes killing stuff super easy and properly timed attacks = goodbye reloading. I know that level 3 is by no means an indicative of anything but if this carries on to the later levels… Going to make a force next.
any word on challenge mode being in this game? mode from pso dreamcast
does anyone here know how to turn off this weird 3d coloring effect i’m having? it doesn’t show up in screenshots and it’s driving me nuts
EDIT: found it. how do you add other people? or is that not an option? people in the game won’t tell me and act like ass wipes (on the english ship 02)
If it hasn’t been pasted here before: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9259868/pso2_closed_beta/translation/pso2_closedbeta_text.rar
Only notice is that it will reset back to JP after every patch. Be sure to paste these files back when you’re done patching. PSO2 folder -> data -> win32 folder.
So that why the patch never worked. Hopefully I can play now without having to guess.
Yeah would love an invite as well!! Playing PSO like 24/7 then having dreams of still playing, and waking up while still on my chair in front of my T.V. with pso still on. Had some crazy weeks with PSO O_O
Playing for the last few days…this game. Oh my god. This game. Welcome back, Phantasy Star. We missed you.
When this test ends on the 28th, is there going to be any more testing?
Broomop up to his bullshit already on the beta. He’s got some videos showcasing some stuff he’s already found that I wont bother to link.
The discussion of it is being talked about on pso2 official forums where players are asking for “region IP blocking” saying that we are ruining their game.
Theres some more discussion of it on pso-world if you want to bother to look.
If sega can’t stop these guys then I’m done with pso/psu franchise.
Does this game have quick weapon switch, the best thing they added from v.2 and was sorely lacking in zero
Yeah, there’s a quick swap weapon palette a la PSU.
Some things will never reach the magic that they once did… I miss pso…
This game is amazing.
The only gripes I have right now are a lack of character outfits and a serious lacking of weapon types (for hunters). PSU had 12, PSO2 has about 4 so far. Really not cool, I hope they add more. I want daggers back.
And let me use magic with hunter weapons! I want my Wartecher status back, too.
Day late edit: Oh, and the bosses are insane. Love them. One of, if not, the best things I got to experience in the beta. They’re challenging and actually take up a nice chunk of time (was fighting an infected giant dagon spider in Caves Exploration for about 10-15 minutes yesterday)
