FSOD & Corruption FAQ

[Omar]

4.) Yes being legit does help stop corruption and im pretty sure the reason why is this: Say you have a 1304 mag, sometimes the game can get confused to exactly how the mag has exceeded its maximum lvl and tricks itself into thinking corruption has occured when really there isnt a faulty file. I think the being legit helping corruption/FSOD is only to do with mags/stacking items/exceeding maximum wepon percentage though, un-legit weapons shouldnt hurt as long as theyre not tampered with. I am legit myself and would reccomend it to others but if you want to do these things and run the risk its up to you.

No, that is incorrect. If you can actually offer proof for your theory, then I will reconsider.

6.) Yes there is a legit way to get the red ring, its a 1/80 chance for any section ID but whitill (which is 1/40 i think) off Ulti dark falz. if you see it after the battle it will be over the edge where you "cant get it". Yes you can get it, and no its not a glitch i think you were intended to do it this way to show initiative: if you have meseta on you, drop it in batches of one until it starts to be pushed over the edge. eventually it can push the red ring to the other side. That clears that up then.

No.

Red ring's drop is not activated. The drop rates are set to 0 and have been since launch. The only way to activate the Red Ring drop would be a new online quest or a new game disc.
If you are wondering how I know this, then take a look at the game data for yourself or ask any reputable PSO player.

With regards to your "method" to prevent item loss from FSOD. If you would care to read dec's opening post in this topic, then you will see it has already been posted. Many newcomers to PSO forums have lots of cool "methods"/"tricks" etc. that have been proved true or false on numerous occasions. I would suggest you do a search for the things you are going to post if you have any more you wish to share. Either that or just look for posts by Kef and I :wacko:
