A Change in My Opinion

[UK Jester]

As I am fairly new to online PSO I, II & III I've recently been evaluating my views on cheating, hacking and duping - and the reason for my re-evaluation - FSOD!

I still don't use AR, Hacking or Duping - and being in my 30's I'm so far above using FSOD because I'm here to have fun and meet like minded individuals not act like a teenager proving about my superiority (sic) over everyone because I can read a random cheat website, after all you're safe behind your keyboard (yawn) etc etc ad nauseaum (bored now).

I have no problem with anyone who uses AR to replace a lvl x char that has been corrupted by FSODX or a dodgy memory card. I have no problem with the replacement equipment either.

I have no problem with duping of rares if your reasons are for the backup of a rare item, if you are unlucky and get FSOD when the item is on you but not equiped because you need it for the level but not just yet.

I've played some games with people who have hacked to get a Mag or weapon. So long as this has not unbalanced my play experience and they have been honest with me I've had no problem with them. But I wont accept items from them or trade with them because I still wish to get my stuff legitimately - it's nothing personal, it's just the way I want to play the game.

I love the hackers that appear as Sonic and Tails in the lobbies.

As for FSOD, well I've had my fair share perpetrated against me, it's annoying but I wont let it stop me playing a thoroughly enjoyable game. Besides, most FSODers will soon bugger off to a new game to beat their chests (and some of them might even have hairs on them).

So I'm still legit 100%, I'm just expanding my views on this little part of life. Remeber people, it's not worth the effort of spending ages online arguing with cheats, dupers, hackers, FSODers or Neo-Legits (eg: I'm legit so everyone who isn't should get the electric chair along with his/her parents). If you disagree with the way someone wants to play then just don't play with them, the arguements will just degenerate in the end 9 times out of 10. And if you get a good group of online buddies you can always lock your game to avoid the FSODers.

Freeze Screen of Death

Actually its Frozen screen of death (god im picky today )
Check out the Sticky as stated, you may find some ways to help stop FSOD there (i have posted one myself which has been feircely attacked by Omar, lol, i think it works better)

:S

Also there shouldnt be any FSODers NOLers BSODers etc. on ep 1&2 (GC and XBOX). That only really seemed to happen on DC version. If you get an FSOD its a glitch or server fault probably not an FSODer.

Fiercely attacked or just someone else also being picky today?

There are people who can FSOD you easily enough on Ep1&2, but avoiding Vega1/Deneb9 usually avoids them.

I don't understand how people can FSOD you. It's a sad fact that can ruin people's fun.. -.-

i have never been FSOD but my brother has twice in a week! luckly he never carries around a second weapon, so all he lost is his Diamtes, ect....

[Anti Hacker]

I kew youd reply to that Omar! lol

As i dont tend to lose anything from FSOD anymore, and have muchly money to replace dimates etc. with (which usually arent lost either) I still play on Vega 1 but not Deneb B 9. Theres not enough players anywhere else!!!

I got FSOD 3 times yesterday, there goes 20+ minutes of my life just saving my stuff! ggrrrr!
