PSO2 JP: Password Warning

Ricardo 17 Comments

Sega is reminding all players not to reuse the same password for their SEGA ID Login and Email Address. They ask that you change your password immediately since this can allow unauthorized access to your account.

Risk Factors:

  • Using the same password between your SEGA ID and Email address associated with that account.
  • Using the same SEGA ID and Email Address password on other sites as well.
  • Using old passwords on other sites for your SEGA ID and Email Address.

They have received numerous reports of players having all their items sold away. It is believed that someone gained access to their email addresses which subsequently allowed them to log into the game.  They performed an internal investigation and could not confirm any user information and password leak on their end.

You can change passwords by visiting the "SEGA ID Management" page.

Alienware Promotional Item

m and a licht

Alienware Japan is distributing yet another promotional item with the purchase of their M14x Premium Laptop or Alienware X51 Premium Desktop.

The item to be distributed is called M＆Aヴァイス/リヒト or M&A Vice /Licht which appears to be based on the M&A 60 Vice weapon from PSO. This is also the first itemcode under the new "Licht" suffix.

 

Misc. Notes

  • Sakai and Kimura had a little chat about paying customers
  • Half of paying customers purchase the Premium Set
  • Implied most paying customers purchase the AC Scratch.
  • Out of all paying customers, only half of those who purchase AC scratch, would buy the Premium Set.
  • Since players can purchase specific features out of the Premium Set, perhaps they feel the set is of no value.

  • Corrected a bug where the uncharged Gi Megid technic would be abnormally strong.
  • Corrected a bug where the icons and play time did not display correctly when you're at the quest counter viewing the list of parties in other blocks.
  • Corrected a bug where nothing showed up in the tutorial window after accepting Koffee's Client Order to unlock Tundra.
  • For Light's Client Orders, when you either accepted them or cleared them, all of Light's dialogue would appears as "no_text"
  • Corrected a mistake in the description for Matter Board 3 C-3
  • Corrected a bug where Kressida's お手並み拝見しちゃおうかしら CO didn't show up even if you met the conditions for it to appear.
  • Corrected a bug where under certain conditions, Tranmizer and Transzexia would stop functioning.

  • Performed measures to correct the bug with the NPC skin tones and character graphics breaking apart, however, these bugs may reappear after maintenance. The first thing you should do is update your graphics driver and check to see if the bug still exists. Afterwards, send a bug report which should include your graphical settings and a detailed description of your symptoms.
  • Before the 11/28 maintenance, those who used a mag device to overwrite the auto-action and trigger action only to have it return back to normal once the mag leveled up will receive EXCubes for compensation in your storage box.

  • There's a bug with the accessory Chignon Decoration where the graphics may appear abnormally bright.
