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.

Any related questions you guys have goes in here.
