JP Japan Home Discussion Thread

I think you should be able to FF, get the Bar Key and invite your JP account over. You should be able to play Bell Ringer and Trigger Happy in-a-box and earn those rewards, maybe even Big Bang if you have enough prize points to unlock it. I was able to a while back, and seeing how Faga mentioned Midway might be making its way to JP Home soon, they shouldn't be region locked for any reason.

 

Yeah the first midway item all work in japan. Midway 2 items do not! Dont asked me how i know i just tell you a birdy told me . Btw adding item not get rid of pop up error. Only thing do that is remove the whole reward list and and add the items back. SCEJ is trying to fix this problem have to wait until then. Or do it by other means which isn't too easy and maybe against the ToS

 

Thanks Kane!

I have neptune and pirate ship covered. But I can invite you if you need those. But howw about Darla's Den? I never bought a ticket. And my jp acct don't have any of those rewards. If you can get those, there's alot there, right?


edit... can't seem to get my JP acct to Neptune appt... did they block that?

 

Yeah Neptune is blocked sadly from japan users getting to. My japanese friend wanted me to invite to my neptune and i couldn't

 

aww rats. Thanks yoshikawakun

 

I believe this doesn't apply to anyone on this board, but for those that are donating, please do not donate to "Japan Committee for UNICEFF". Although they have a relation with UNICEFF, they are just borrowing the name and is not a subdivision of UNICEFF. They only pass along 75% of the donation to UNICEFF and use the other 25% for their own good.

Where do you think the other 25% goes to?

Here's one example
The so called "Ambassador for the Japan Committee" Agnes Chan's Home



Another thing to note,
Google Translate

They are saying that if they get a certain amount that exceeds the funding that they think is needed for Japan, they will be using it for other countries. In other words, most of it will be put in their pockets.

 

I gave to the Red Cross through the PSN Store, seems safer

 

Faga, there is a donation section in the PSN Store (EU and NA) to the Red Cross for Japan Relief. You can pay in increments from $2 til $50.

I chose that for my donation.

 

Ouch..I heard RedCross lead chairman own 3 mansions and do you wonder if any of these donation organization really do it just for the sake of giving money to the needy VS stuffing whatever is left in to their pocket as their own "personal donation". I digress to donate, but seeing this kind of thing just disgust me. Isn't a wonder that a piece of paper with color ink and numeric denomination really make the world go round. **sigh**

 

"See Where Your Money is Going
Be wary of the organization that assures you that 100 percent of your donation goes to help the victims or particular effort. They are likely not being truthful. Every organization, even charitable non-profits, have some overhead expenses. To make sure that you get the most bang for your buck, you’ll want to be sure that you avoid middlemen. Some groups may simply collect the money and then pass it on to more hands-on charities. Avoid diluting your dollars by giving directly to groups that are already on the ground and helping the victims in Japan."

Aslo "Be Skeptical of Offers that Promise to Donate Money for Things You Buy
Lady Gaga’s heart might be in the right place with the new bracelet she has launched, with all profits going to help the victims in Japan, but you’re really not helping as much as you could. If your goal is to help and not score some cool gear, you’re better off giving directly to the charity yourself. The entire cost of that $5 item isn’t going to Japan, only the profits are, and what the company might deem to be “profit” can be kind of sketchy. From that five dollars, subtract the cost to produce the item, to market it, etc. If you’re going to spend anyways though, by all means, spend away – at least a portion will go to help."

Like with many things be careful with your money make smart decision. It good thing that you want to help japan just want to make sure that money really going there

 

Don't know about RedCross, but at least they're an official organization. The one that I stated isn't. They're an organization that has ties to UNICEFF, so in other words it's basically a different organization. But they themselves treat as if they are, and lie to the public they are official in their announcements.

In 2007, they got 17.6 billion yen (about 176 million dollars if 100yen=$1) in donation. That makes 44 million dollars to their organization, and they claim they use it to run their own campaigns. They only have about 50 people. Wonder what they really using it for?

 

there's one former Red Cross chairman in switzerland I believe that was indicted for stealing a million dollars from the Red Cross...

 

See, a piece of paper with some color ink on it does make the world go round..LOL..Everyone loves money, but when comes to greed, it certainly show the true color of that one person.

yeah

this totally bites!!!

I'm saddened about this. But it's understandable.

 

Hey Yoshikun, I got rid of my item pop up error.

I had to add enough items to replace the 21 items lost with Winter Wonderland in JP. As soon as I earned them, it went away.

I don't think adding them by "unauthorized" means will work. And if you earn them by playing a non-Home game like Pachipara will work against you.

When I played an game that gives Home rewards, instead of giving me items, it created a large loss of items since january. I played the old namco arcade game demo. I earned some items. When I went into Home I saw I got them, BUT it deleted all my recent Macross items!!!! I lost my headbands and my VF25!!!! I also lost Sodium items and a few others too.

The best way to get rid of the error is to avoid playing games that gives Home rewards and to earn them within Home. You can earn them from visiting friends in NA or EU and playing games in their private spaces that give rewards. But you have to win 21 rewards the old fashioned way. Otherwise your inventory will stay unstable. And you can lose rewards.



Hopefully Home 1.5 will fix this. But there's no quarantee....



btw, it's MUCH safer if you can get those 21 rewards while in HOME in one trip. If you can stay logged the entire time while earning all those rewards, you don't have to worry about some disappearing while you are trying to ADD rewards. That can be one step forward, two steps back when they disappear.

 

Maybe now the Resistance rewards will be stable enough for me to grab then. Maybe that's why the bug took them away when it was still able to mess up the rewards list more and skip the rewards at times.

 

Hopefully you can still get them. I suck at it. But the overheating guns make it impossible for me to get very far....
