Recent adhocParty Issues; Sony Contacted

I feel babies are more appropriate because people suck

Edit: Sony customer service

Am I really the only one sensible enough to recommend third party software?

Ad Hoc Party is obviously not being fixed any time soon. We need to look at the alternatives in the mean time.

So...they're not willing to fix the problem, huh. Ah well. Anyone up for some Brokensidia Final Fantasy?

Well...yeah, you could always do that. If that doesn't work, then like I said; might as well play something else, I guess.

[Zodiark]

Anybody up for Soul Calibur Broken Destiny?

Not everyone is able to use Xlink Kai and I know CFW is very popular but not everyone has it and we don't even know if that Adhoc CFW is really going to work out since its somewhat unstable with Duodecim.

How delightfully ironic. Right when I'm about to get a PS3, this happens. Well looks like I'll have to rebuy the first game...

If only DFF didn't lag. Even RDF's wondrous connection won't save you completely. It's like playing an EU person in DDFF.

Not to mention DFF is terrible compared to DDFF. There, I said it.

So I took the liberty calling both Sony and Square Enix technical/customer support on behalf of the forum and my experience rated from bad to worse.

After explaining to the support staff what Ad-Hoc Party Application is and how it is different from Ad-Hoc feature on PSP twice over (what confused them was that "Ad-Hoc for Playstation Portable" is a ps3 thing?) Sony was unable to provide me with any support and said no one reported any issues and I should get in touch with Square Enix. They had a very hard time understanding what the issue was, but I think the two techs I spoke with got it and were very "sorry". Anyway, after a lengthy conversation-- they were unable to provide contact information to Sony developers who worked on this application or a way to report this problem directly to them. I asked for games that are supported by Ad-Hoc Party and they had no such list. They suggested I ask on official Sony forums. I guess they are hoping the Sony Playstation Community users will find that official list for them. If this was Modern Warfare or something we would probably have a different conversation. Anyway moving on.

So then I called Square Enix and they claimed only Dissidia was supported for Ad-Hoc Party and could not confirm if Duodecim is supported since their list was bit outdated. Anyway, here is the worst part: they refused to escalate this issue and will not do anything unless it is officially supported by Ad-Hoc Party which Sony failed to provide. Square Enix wont send a simple email to SCEJ (the developers of Ad-Hoc Party) even as a courtesy. I think the expression was: "That's not how it works."

So a big fuck you in the face from both Sony and Square Enix.

So what I ask is please call Sony and write to them:

Phone Number: 800-345-SONY (7669) 7 Days a Week 6:00AM - 10:00PM Pacific
Email Form: http://us.playstation.com/support/ask/


And post in this thread as well (Sony rep told me they read the forum):
http://community.us.playstation.com/...9307#U37449307

I found it but no one seems to care in the community.

P.S. They did mention that the update does effect "some games."

Amazing that Sony cant check Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...Portable_games
wither this is official or not, Dissdia 012 is listed under adhoc able games among with KHBBS as well(which is said not to work) but I think they are just trying to look over this little problem to be honest just so they don't have to work on it but them saying Dissdia 012 is not AHP compatible is either a bald face lie or they are idiots (I would not be surprise if the later was the case) I guess all we can hope is they will see the post in the Sony community forums and see that the community cares enough and use the program enough to give them reason to update or atleast fix the problems created by the crap firmware

Oi mate, listen up, you really need to work out this whole Ad Hoc Party (name of the app, not an actual party involving people playing ad hoc) thing for Square Enix's Dissidia [duodecim] 012: Final Fantasy for PSP, because you just made a lot of people sad. And lots of people sad means I'm sad. And if I'm sad, I won't buy your products. You don't want me to not buy your products, right? Then it's settled.

Do you reckon I'll get a reply?

(I haven't bought a Sony product in so long)

After reading all this and getting the info about the PS3 Update, I'm seeing Sony is EXTREMELY LACKING in their field of support. I mean, AHP was the thing that kept the world GOING like this guy:

Attachment 5034

But then he had to blow up. Now, we're stuck without AHP. We're not at the end of our rope, but we've lost something invaluable.

Here's what happens when you take away AHP from DDFF:

Stage 1
Attachment 5035

People realize AHP doesn't work with DDFF anymore after the 4.2 PS3 Update.

Stage 2
Attachment 5036

People start getting mad over it all.

Stage 3


Rage Mode.
