im proving a point dont bite my f**king head off

[Anti Hacker]

I'm not over reacting i played online for ages, I got corrupted 5 times and all of those times were on EU ships (although one time was an offline power cut or something). I wasn't in Altair either. I have a good offline community now, whats the point in risking that when I can just play BB which has more features and is a better game anyway IMO.

That was what I was trying to say, BB is safer than online gc PSO, but I was just saying that it was possible for it to be hacked.

Kindly explain to me how BB is a "better" game when you play the same episodes (so far) and you only have Hard mode at this point. Sounds to me like it's the SAME game with just less modes.

At the moment it's technically not as good, but it's a lot better because at the moment it's free and there's a bigger community. Imagine when it comes out for real, and we can play ep4! I can't wait!

And <snowfox>, no offense but those pictures we a bit unnecissary, I mean what's stopping you from getting those off the internet randomly? If not, then you didn't exactly have to pull in pics of your house and car just to prove a point...

Well, if PSO: BB does get completely hackable.... Then that means that all the hackers would go there..... Leaving the GC perfectly free of n00b haX0rs that are trying act l33t..... I'm not sure I'd really mind if BB started to get hacked....

Slightly refined graphics,

New section ID calculation add a wider variety of players,

Losing experience instead of meseta when you die adds tension,

No more randomly un-equipping items when you die,

I think mag feeding patterns have changed,

Team play options add fun new bonuses,

The new style of unlocking levels is better (no level cap),

The new quests are darn cool,

You can play offline quests online, even if it is on your own,

Less hacking for now,

Modes are acceptable for how long the game has been in existance - so no problems there,

-Later a new episode and items are to be added!

-This also means new enemies and boss monsters, possible mini bosses to,

Dont have to pay for the moment! Wahoo!

Forces can no longer use Force weapons to equip other force weapons making it more challenging and fairer, but unlike on PSO+ we can once again cast from behind doors!

New NPC characters,

New quick item/spell use menus along the bottom (num keys 1 through to 0),

New targeting colours on enemies telling you when and if a technique will hit once fired (not just displaying a lock on).

But yeah apart from that lot it's all the same...

o.0

I don't buy that either, no one is going to corrupt a hard drive because theyre not as unstable.

Never heard of viruses then, trojans, worms, it can be done amongst ovther things, and it will happen, I guarantee you that, like all these people who think they're safe behind an AV program, I got 7 and I still get hit, 1 was custom designed by myself, and 1 I kind of borrowed when I left the military.

And it's happened before with literally every game in history that connects to a mutual network, games like Quake, Doom, Unreal Tournament, all full of people who will fry your HD because they can't stand losing to you, because you're a better gamer than they are, and a more polite person too.

BB is safer than online gc PSO

No way, it's much worse on BB, what about all the bank details you may store on your computer, also:

Price of a memory card: £15.
Price of a decent sized HD with fast access: £150.

Now £150 is peanuts to me, but I'm willing to bet that every other person playing BB isn't as financially secure.

Because no one stays around Deneb or Vega if they're smart.

Of if they're really smart avoid all US ships.

And I agree, BB isn't really all that new, it's like when Windows bring out a new OS, we alll buy it, but then when it's installed we realise it's the same sh*t, just in a different wrapper.

And I think the cheaters and such will stay on GC because;

1. They wuv their witty bitty cutesy wutesy AR's.
2. They'll have to ask their boss at the local fast food restaurant for a raise so they can afford to buy the new BB.
3. They'll have to avoid the Server Side protocols and GM's.
4. It's require them learning how to do some real hacking instead of getting a lilttle black lump of plastic to do it for them.

If the hacking really becomes so widespread though, then the ways to do it would be posted all over and hackers wouldn't need to do any extra work. They also wouldn't need the raise because they'd stop playing GC.

Eventually GC hacking will loose the fun because everyone will head out to BB, and the hackers will follow. Then myself and whoever is just too lazy to restart on another console will be left to enjoy a hacker-free PSO. If nothing else, the ST GC servers will shut down, and everyone will go onto private servers.

Scott you are over reacting big time, I really think it is a better game, and whilst making some areas of PSO a bit less secure, it makes other areas far more secure (character data) and I dont think the details are really that un-secure or they wouldnt be allowed to store them under the DPA (personal Data Protection Act).
