Help me Beta Test the GT Game?

so I will install this patch and skip the previous patch you posted.

edit: Ok, it works after beating TheSoviet. (funny though that his house is now called CharlieSheen's house)
oh man the NPC's have hilarious dialogue.

edit: I see you fixed the water in Wii town, very nice.

one of Darji8114's dialogue boxes has his name looking like this:
/n<Darji8114> and it's the line where he says "Take your time in exploring every inch of the village" and so on.
In case you want to know how I was able to walk to the topright most part above the town, there is a place I can walk through the wall at the very bottomright part of the town. (the bottom right of the town there is a lake, and the bottom right of that lake has a spot I can walk through the wall)
Actually it's no wonder I can walk through there, there doesn't even appear to be a wall there.

The mayor asked me to try the water but now I don't know what to do. Pressing the well doesn't do anything. I'm giving up on this town until later. You need to go to the well. I will edit the dialogue to make this more clear.

edit: found Faction Mansion
There is a pentagram in the middle. Pressing it makes it flash for a second but otherwise does nothing.
During the faction meeting, Mazer mentions Paul. I think he meant to say Luke? (because I am Luke) Who is Paul?
Anyway, after hearing the conversation with Mazer, my party has SUPER SPEED. (This was possibly triggered by having my party move out of the way to let Mazer through?)
If I hold down shift key, it makes me run normally. There is no way to walk.
Entering and exiting the ship seems to turn it back to normal.
It's actually not a big deal.

More harmless craziness: I can go through the table they were having the meeting on. I can also go through the fireplace and therefore walk inside all of the walls in the building.

edit: In the PC section, the 2 people in front of screens do not have any dialogue. The person in the room to the very right has no dialogue either. (edit: One of the people in front of screens has dialogue now "Central computer? Why would you be looking for such a thing?" So I guess he has dialogue only after you trigger the search for the central computer.)
After talking to the PC mayor, Archangel's first dialogue box has his name with a /n in the front, just like the Wii mayor did before. This is the line where he says "What's wrong?"

Archangel's dialogue doesn't fit the screen in his comments after watching the conversion feed. It's the same problem Charliesheen has all the time but I don't recall Archangel having this problem until now.

edit: PC Master Control boss KO's my entire party in one hit with his blue screen attack. I'm trying to level up in the grid but it doesn't seem like a likely cause.[b] I altered the damage scaling by half for this. I didn't realize it was so powerful.

edit: Is it just me or does Burger refill 100 HP and all MP? I think it says 100 HP and 10 MP but it just refilled all of that character's MP. (or maybe it refills 100 of each) I actually like this version of Burger.

edit:
If I choose "yes" to buy a gold membership when I don't have enough GTP, nothing happens. I don't get a membership and the NPC doesn't even say I don't have enough money. I still have all my GTP.
600 is a lot, I might suggest lowering the amount.
EDIT: When I buy it, it says I don't have enough GTP! xD
Despite that it works. I have a gold membership in my inventory, and I lost 600 GTP. So the "you dont have enough money" part, although wrong, doesn't affect anything.

edit: Oh wow, Politics. I didn't even know this town existed.
An NPC near the bottom right of this town has no dialogue. (non-interactive)

edit: CementHead boss battle has normal battle music, even though it's a boss. This game has great boss music, why not re-use one of the boss themes here.

Also when the guy says Planet Moon, maybe Archangel tries to point out the moon is not a planet "First of all, that makes no sense. Second, the moon is not a planet!" and the guy responds with "well excuse me! I am not a nerd who watches star trek" or something to that effect. Can you tell me where this is again? I am having a hard time finding this character.

edit: None of the 4 shops in Xbox 360 town work. Same exact problem as before, it hasn't been fixed at all. The mansion in the center of the town does the same thing. Seems I paid 600 GTP for nothing. o.O
So my remaining choices are to:
a) go to the Sony island
b) Find GG. (never found GG yet, dunno if it's even possible)
c) level up for the PC boss in an attempt to beat it.

Thing is I don't know where I can go to get better gear.
I'm not allowed to go the underground city in GD anymore.
TheSoviet's town doesn't sell gear.
Xbox 360 shops don't work.
PC and Wii doesn't sell gear.
Does Creativity Town sell gear? I'm guessing it doesn't. I'm stuck with the gear I have.
Fortunately PC town sells Mountain Dews and Chips for crazy low price. That will help a lot.
On that note, Chips are being sold for 8 at PC island, but PS3 island is selling them for 100. That's a disproportionately good price! I will buy like a gazillion chips. (edit: I have 99 chips! Apparently that's the most you can carry of a single item) -- "Sale" will now end after the Master Control has been beaten:D



edit: If I get into a random battle on XBox 360 island, an error dialogue comes up:
"Unable to find file:
Graphics/Battlebacks1/Dirt"
pressing OK closes the game
image:

basically, if you get into a battle here, game over

I need to find a place to level up (edit: Sports forum is a great place.)

For the record, there is nothing to do on the Sony island. It's the same as before the patch. The mayor just tells me she is busy and for me to leave. There are 2 guys fighting in the left side of the castle but there is no way to interact with them. I notice Mazer outside the castle, but it doesn't change anything.
So both the Wii town and PS3 have nothing for me to do.
I am going to Shane to see if it triggers anything regarding Faction Mansion. (edit: Nope. Shane just says "hmm. General Gaming.. I think this may be the last time I see you alive.")

I keep finding non-interactive beds. Considering it's one of the toughest parts in the game, I suggest putting something in the cottage (in General Discussion) to let player know that bed is interactive. For example maybe Archangel should say "we should rest in that bed to restore our HP" or something to that effect.

edit: Dunno if this sounds dumb.. but I wasn't sure at first whether Bean Bags was a normal item or not. The first you get it in the same dungeon you get a Tent. Plus a bean bag sounds like a chair rather than something you eat. This makes you think Bean Bags is the same as a Sleeping Bag from Final Fantasy games and therefore can only be used the same place as a tent. Maybe Bean Bags could be renamed to something that sounds like food/drink.

PC boss used Blue Screen of Death and 2 of my party members survived! But then he used it again killng everyone. -_-

edit:
Wow that battle took a long time. The PC boss ran out of MP apparently since it stopped doing everything except normal attacks. No ignore, no poison, no blue screen of death for the last 2/3rd of the battle. That was awesome. I finally beat it.
By the way, there is a typo in the dialogue afterwards. Archangel says "Genuis!". It would be a shame to spoil such a funny part with a typo like this.

edit:
Major bug.
After defeating the PC boss, you cannot leave the PC town. (this is after Archangel asks you whether they did the right thing) You cannot enter the overworld and are therefore trapped.

Wow, I had no idea there was a way to enter General Gaming island. This thing is surrounded with rocks! I didn't notice the opening until I saw the map on page 2 of this thread.

edit:
I talk to the king/mayor of General Gaming, and he says "have you taken care of the problem?" but I have never talked to him before. But suddenly we're talking about factions. I guess this was the person I was supposed to go to about factions getting shut down or not.
By the way, many NPCs in General Gaming are non-interative (no dialogue)
Same with a number of the NPCs in PC forum after defeating the PC boss in the grid.
One of the buildings in General Gaming cannot be entered. The door opens but all I can do is walk in the doorway.

The first issue is because you accidentally triggered the switch for the Faction Fight. This was my bad.

I will add more dialogue to the NPCs Asap

Ok, that's funny. After finishing talking to the king of General Gaming, I talk to him again, and he says "Well if it isn't Luke! I heard of your exploits you have been doing a fantastic job" etc.
I assume that's what he was supposed to say in the first place. xD
I wonder what happens now if I go to to Faction Mansion.
Come to think of it, when he gives me the Ban Hammer, he doesn't say who are the users I have to ban. He doesn't even tell me where to go.

edit: When I go to the Faction Mansion. They say "We need to stop Paul"
Don't they mean Luke?
For that matter doesn't the game let you choose your name? So really...
edit: The king just called me Staff Member Paul. lol

edit:
When confronting Shane in the Halls of Valhalla, after the flashbacks of me killing the rioters, TheSoviet, and the faction leaders, the screen goes black. This is just like what happened after killing TheSoviet, before you provided the patch to fix it.
- music is still playing (empire music from FF6)
- Pressing ESC accesses the menu
- screen is black and press keys does nothing (escept ESC)

Welp, that's just about everything, I think I've exhausted the entire game up to this point.
One last tidbit. After defeating the faction leaders, all battles in the overworld seem to use the same music as the faction leader battle. Just thought I'd let you know.
Regarding the PC boss, I might recommend letting the player exit the Grid. (and if they are up to the grid boss they should be able to return to the previous room, just in case they saved at the boss before realizing they are woefully underleveled) I might also consider making the boss weaker and quadrupling the amount of EXP the enemies give you. (You cannot leave the grid and can never return to the grid.. so it's not like the player can use this place to level grind)

I also have to wonder how boss scaling is handled. It doesn't seem like they are scaled which would mean that the player is supposed to do the game in a certain order. (unless all the bosses are equally difficult to the PC boss) It might be beneficial if the order was outlined to the player in advance. (with a map provided to help the player locate each forum section) The map can just be an item and work the same way as a blog page or tutorial. (i.e. an image that can be accessed from the inventory)
