PSO2 JP: Ship 2′s Misbehavior (7/20/2012)

Posted by Ricardo

On the early morning of July 20th, 2012, the staff has confirmed that once again on Ship 2, the NPC positions in the Arks Lobby were moved around. Additionally they have confirmed the use of technics in the Arks Lobby. It is likely the suspect is using a different method than the last time to move the NPC locations, and the staff is currently investigating it. 

The suspect isn’t hacking nor cracking the server, they are making use of exploits, therefore it has no affect on your personal data. They will increase monitoring and continue to suspend the accounts of wicked users. They are very sorry for the inconvenience. If you happen to notice the NPCs are in the wrong locations, please change to another block immediately. They will try to address this exploit as soon as possible.

Its children like Failmop that feck things like this up for the rest of us. If that is the child's true address I may take a drive down as thats only an hour or so away from me and do the PSO community a favour and drop him in a crusher.

I might join you dude, this is getting bad, either play the game or dont play the game. If things continue like this we will get ip banned…

I am really fucking sick of idiots like him ruining stuff for the rest of us. You know he's only going to be worse on the NA servers, right? He's going to continually fuck things up for us, and considering SoA's VERY slow response to hacking, yeah. It's gonna be bad. I think I'll join both of you in sending him to the afterlife.

And then people wonder why some of the Japanese see Westerners as a plague on their servers and don't want to do anything with us.

No offense to the person posting the address, but I don't think we can handle that kind of attention. Maybe somewhere else?

Broomop, please stop. You are on the verge of getting us IP banned…please stop.

I fail to understand the logic behind trolls like this. they're causing other people a problem because they don't have what they're going to have early next year anyway? do they honestly think anyone is impressed by scriddies?

I'm actually starting believe that it's not even Broomop anymore, and just posers trying to get attention and be interweb famous.

This is really rustling my jimmies :T, and not to be supportive, but I like it sometimes, like when the quest counter lady is close to the campship, it saves me time (only a few secs, but w/e).

The healing/buffing is the main problem, it causes TERRIBLE lag in the lobby, I have already crashed once from it.

This will be the third time I'm probably responsible for them even finding out. Every time I see Broomop or whoever's pretending to be Broomop, I send in a report with a detailed description.

Considering the trouble Broomop made for PSO years ago, I would not be surprised if someone was impersonating him, giving his address to the community, simply to try to get him physically hurt from a grudge.

And if it is the real deal, then IP banning the West is in fact Broomop's goal so that he has an undying legion of haters to give him attention for months to come. The sooner we are banned, the better he would like it. IMNSHO.

Man, i'm glad that I was busy this morning and unable to play anyway. Things like this do upset me, because while we can speculate all we want about the hackers intentions, the reality to me is that it still interrupts everyone else game play and gaming experience. It isn't fun for me when I go and try to turn in a client order, and the NPC is floating in the sky, or behind the glass. It hinders the time that i do get to play, so the bottom line is it isn't doing any good for any of the players, and only hurting the game.

Didn't Broomop like, said he wasn't doing anything? hell, I though he retired.

And for fucks sake, even if he is responsible, which I kinda doubt giving the fact that he actually like/d PSO at some point, he's not the only bloody anarchist on the internet, a small search on the googles showed a lot of results relating to this exploit.

I know it sounds weird for someone to defend a griefer at this point, but the man was responsible for years of PSOpc and PSOBB fun for me, but if he's the one doing for shits and giggles, well… torches and pitchforks maybe?

I know it sounds terrible but I sort of want to go pay for an alt on ship 2 just so I can see this trainwreck for myself as it happens.

After hearing the interview from expfull.com, it seems to me like they are just trying to get SEGA to tighten up on their implementation of countering exploits so that these future problems won't happen in the future by the time the western version hits.

It's one thing for broomop to be doing stuff like this, and be done making his point. But if broomop is giving these idiots who have been moving npcs and such the tools to do so, shame on broomop.

pso2love

July 20th, 2012 at 6:45 pm

I did hear them mention that SEGA needs to use something other than gameguard.

Anon

July 20th, 2012 at 7:47 pm

lol broomop can't "give tools" because he never made any. He just get stuff already done and use it to cheat in game.

Apparently I got banned from POS for hacking. I left my character afk for a while in block 20 and when I got back, and saw that I got a 630(d/c), after that when I tried to log-in I recieved a 618 error.

My ingame name was Gerhard.

What I wonder is if there any way to get my account back? I was really getting the hang of the game and had a few good items(not to mention prizes from prior tests).

I don't have much time to play, due to study. I really would hate to start over.

GameGuard

Sega are banning innocent players that these clowns put outside the lobby window.

GameGuard

July 20th, 2012 at 9:04 pm

I like how the title of this article implies that everyone on ship 2 is a bad egg. Nice job.

Plant

July 20th, 2012 at 10:10 pm

Well, if you need to go AFK, go get a quest and AFK on Campship.

I'm not on Ship 2, but I'm really angry at these kids ruining the fun for the rest of us, I just hope PSO staff doesn't ban all of us non-Japanese for an individual's misbehavior…

good thing I've moved from ship2 already

It just goes to show that a few immature children like failmop and others ruin a perfectly fine game for the rest of us. Granted FailGuard is about as much use as a rubber in a monastery and it should be changed but even so mop and the rest of the children should be IP and MAC banned, Traced back to their homes and actually had some law enforcement action taken against them. This wont happen though Sega never got a hold on the whole hacking even back on the DC with PSO ver 1 and that was over 10 years ago and they still have not learned anything.

@pso2love

Mop never had any tools to start with. He begs,borrows and steals other's work claims it as his own and then hands it out for a small paypal fee ofc. So not only is this a$$ ruining this version of PSO for the entire West he is also going to be making money from other's work this shows you what mind set this child has. He did it with pso and psu and he'l do it again with pso2.

Iv just started again (Only had a lvl 9 humar on ship2) but I refuse to be on the same ship as these children. Atleast when the jp's hack they dnt mess it up for the rest of us.

Thing is you shouldn't have to have a room to BE in to not get banned for being an innocent bystander. The lobby is where everyone meets, and may meet new people to start quests. I don't want to give up the opportunity of meeting new people just so sega won't ban me by accident.

I'm considering going to a friends room but that just annoys me. Also keep in mind we have to go to the lobby at some point to get quests.

Guys don't give in to this kid Broomop(if this really is Broomop doing this crap), he's a fake, a fraud, and steals everything he claims to use. I did some research on this little kid, and all he does is steals this other guy's programming and codes, like many people have said don't give in to his pathetic cry's for attention, just leave him alone:)

This is exactly why after I knew which ship the majority of english players would be on I'd make a my character on a different one – I'll sacrifice a few friends to not have to deal with this nonsense – then again, Ship 10 is getting pretty crappy, as well…

"English players have chosen ship 2" *avoids*.

Best decision yet.

Actually started this game yesterday, haven't played a Phantasy Star game in ages, but now I hear about this.

I joined on ship 8, not knowing which ship was the English one, I was hoping to make a new character for ship 2, but err..after reading this. Yeah. Probably gonna stick on ship 8 ;_;

same here, except i didn't intentionally avoided. Fate just made me avoid it.

Is there a ship other than ship 2 that has a decent English player base? I don't want to deal with silly kids like this.

Guys the NPC moving crap happens like once in a blue moon for maybe an hour tops… It really isn't that bad.

Ricardo

July 22nd, 2012 at 6:36 am

It's not just NPC moving, it's our characters being moved and us getting falsely reported.

While I'm at it if anyone has been banned I believe this is the page you need to visit to appeal: https://ssl.pso2.jp/players/support/inquiry/ I'm not sure if anyone has been successful in getting their ban removed. Sega may well ignore appeals from foreign players.
