PSO Blue Burst Info, All your PSOBB goodies here. Options

[donkeybeatz]

Ok ok I'm putting all the info I gather from PSOBB Beta here. Hurray for organization!

-Beta is entirely in Japanese =\
-Server-side Saving! w00t! Keep your stuff even if your comp explodes.
-Minor graphical updates and NPC remodeling.
-Section ID's are now calculated differently.
-Lv30 required for Hard Mode. More on higher difficulty requirements later.
-Actions can now be assigned to the number keys.
-In order to unlock areas, you have to complete the required quests.. in order no less.
Be careful as there are many many enemies spawning.
-Though there is no offline mode, you can still do the "offline" quests online in Quest Mode. It seems that only the 1st tier of quests are available. So it doesn't look like you can convert enemy parts in the Beta.


-Team system: Basically a clan system. Chat with members of the team in a separate chat window to see whats going on. Earn points to purchase items like team flags. Any additional stuff I'm still trying to find out.
Name of the team appears on top of your character in the lobby.


Sonic Team team flag =)


-Looks like they rank teams according to points.

-I recently did caves a few minutes ago and found out something interesting. I encountered a Pan Arms and waited for it to split. As I was hacking away at Hidoom and Migium, one of them casted Resta! WTF? Healed 85HP each time.
-Check this: You can now join a team in a middle of a quest provided that theres an open spot and you're up to that particular area.



Additional NPC pics.

-PSO BB Section ID Calculations & More
Character class now affect your section ID.
-On a team related note: there's this option called "Warehouse" where the team members can add items in. I'm not sure if you could add actual in-game items or team related items (like team flags).
-It seems that you need points to add more members to your team. I think default is 20. I guess that's not really a problem for us =)
-Logs, logs, logs. Chat logs and in-game logs are automatically saved in the PSO BB folder.
Check up on gossip in the lobbies and what areas you visited (with a simple "LOAD_forest" text no less).
Now you can keep track of all the PSO cybering chats. J/K lol.
-Official download from the official site.

I'll add to this as I find out more stuff.
Any related questions you guys have goes in here.

Okay, I finally got mine downloaded...thanks to GetRight.

Here is some additional info that you might need also.
I did the signup this morning and it took a few minutes to register my username/password with SEGA.

First, download this file from:
http://dl.segaonline.jp/psobb/psobb_ver13_official.exe

This is the installation file.
The download is about 386MB and downloaded at about 6.00k/sec. Slow.

After you get the file you need to register a username.
Go to this web page:
https://ipas.isao.net/signup_pso/psobb/signup_index.htm

Click the button below...the accept button (the lower left button).
On the next page enter your email address two times...to confirm.

You will then receive an email in a few moments.
Open up the email and follow the link provided.

This next part is the fun one. Please see picture below:
(mmm...maximum upload size is 40 K...and my image is 77K in size! that bites..I have to resize the image. I hope it is still readable)
You MUST type Japanese these fields or it will not be accepted.

For a name you can make one up or simply use something like this below.
Copy and paste if you wish.
Use this for both the upper and lower name fields.
Name Last: ドウ
Name First: ジョン
(John Doe)

For the address and phone numbers feel free to type in some numbers there.
For the street/city address line it is a little more complex.
You can just type something like this:
東京都八王子市寺田町

Choose a user name between 6 and 8 characters long.
You can put the same name in for all 3 choices, but they must be filled out.
After this is done and your data is accepted you will get another email from SEGA with your password. Start BlueBurst and choose the second to last option. Enter your userID and password and you are set.

That's it. The rest of PSO you should know. The menus should not be too difficult.
Enjoy~ I will be playing with PSOBB later today.
