| A [[team]] is a group of players organized in-game who come together for one purpose or another. Common reasons for creating or joining a team include having a reliable group to hunt items and level up with, being able to play [[Point of Disaster]], or just having a pretty icon next to your name. Team creation is unrestricted on Ephinea, but certain team functions (team flag, dressing room, additional members, and team quests) aren't available until they've been unlocked by spending [[#Team Points|Team Points]]. A player can only belong to one team at a time.
| |
|
| |
|
| Teams are distinct from ''parties'', which are the standard four-player games in ''PSO''. | | "[[Teams]] are groups that hunters can make, where they band together to strengthen themselves, share like-minded goals, and form their own communities. |
| | Put simply, if you're on a Team, you can chat with fellow members anywhere, you can easily get together to do things, as well as have access to other fun features. |
| | Anyone can be on a Team. There are two ways to become part of a Team: the first is to create a Team, and the other is to be invited into a Team." |
|
| |
|
| ==Team organization==
| | [[Teams]] are features exclusive to ''Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst'', and should not be confused with "Parties", which refers to people who are in the same "room". |
| Teams are made up of Team Masters, Team Leaders, and common team members. | |
|
| |
|
| <span style="color: #FF6D46">'''Team Masters'''</span> have access to all aspects of a team, including the Master Menu. Team Masters can appoint other members to the position of Team Leader. By default, a team's creator is also the Team Master, but the Team Master can transfer the rank to another player. A team is limited to one Team Master.
| | ==Team Organization== |
| | "Teams are comprised of Masters, Leaders, and Common members. |
| | Masters handle Team management and appoint other members to the position of Leader. The person who first creates a Team will be the Master. They also have access to the Master Menu of special Team commands." |
|
| |
|
| <span style="color: #5EB1FF">'''Team Leaders'''</span> are tasked with inviting new members to a team. Other than that, they don't have access to any special team functions. The number of Leaders on a team is limited by the team's maximum member number - more Leaders can be appointed if the member cap is raised by spending Team Points.
| | "Serving as assistants to Masters, Leaders have access to some portion of special commands that Common members do not. There is a fixed number of Leaders that a Team can have, and the position is appointed by a Master." |
|
| |
|
| <span style="color: #8AFFA3">'''Former Team Masters'''</span> have no special access to team functions. They are denoted with a special color in the team member list and in their team name in the lobby. This rank is automatically granted to a Team Master who transfers the role of Team Master to another player. The current Team Master can demote a player from this rank.
| | "The majority of the players on a Team will be Common members. They do not get any special access, other than normal Team benefits. Members begin as "Common" when they first are brought onto a team." |
|
| |
|
| The rest of a team is made up of regular members (also called Common Class). Common members of a team have access to the team chat, the member list, and any benefits the team has unlocked. When a new member is invited to a team, they're designated as a Common member by default.
| | =Establishing a Team= |
|
| |
|
| Team members have their team name shown in the lobby if the Tab key is pressed. If a team has their flag unlocked and set up, the flag is displayed next to the player's name as well.
| | "Any player who is not currently already part of a Team may create one." |
|
| |
|
| ==Establishing a team== | | =Team Names= |
| Anyone can create a team as long as they aren't already part of one. Team creation is done at the Information Counter in the Visual Lobby by selecting the "Team" option and then selecting "Create Team". Creating a team has no associated costs. Team names cannot be longer than 12 characters and spaces are automatically removed; additionally, a team name can't be a duplicate of one already in use.
| | "You cannot create a Team with a name that is already in use by another Team. You will have to choose a different name for your Team, or try to get invited onto the Team that has the name you like." (Not sure if this works on Ephinea.) |
|
| |
|
| ===Inviting members===
| | =Inviting= |
| Team Masters and Team Leaders can invite players to their team with the "Invite Members" function in the Team section of the in-game menu. Players who are already part of a team can't be invited to another; they must first leave their current team using the Team function at the lobby counter.
| | "Masters and Leaders can invite other players to join their Teams. Common members cannot send invites." |
|
| |
|
| ==Team Points==
| | "You can only belong to one Team at a time." |
|
| |
|
| ===Acquiring Team Points===
| | "Players who belong to a Team will have that Team's name displayed above their heads in the Lobby. Your Team name is also automatically inscribed onto your Guild Card." (Really?) |
|
| |
|
| Team Points are acquired using the "Point Register" function in the Team section of the in-game menu. Rare items can be traded for Team Points, and '''the item is consumed in the process.''' The item's rarity determines how many Team Points are earned by trading it in, with a few exceptions.
| | "Press the 'Tab' key to change the display in order to see the Team names listed above other players' heads." |
|
| |
|
| {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
| | "Your Team name will automatically be entered onto your Guild Card in the 'Comment' column." (Again, really?) |

| "Team Points" items are another method to accrue spendable Team Points below. These can be accredited into usable points via the "Point Register" menu, identically to how rare items can be converted to points. Team Points 500, Team Points 1000, Team Points 5000, or Team Points 10000 items can be purchased as described below, and transferred between players via the Trade Window like any other item.
| | =Team Name Color= |
|
| |
|
| Points accrued via Team Point items will not affect the player's or team's Team Ranking standing.
| | "Team Masters will have the Team name listed in red; Leaders are in blue, and Common members are shown in white." |
|
| |
|
| ===Spending Team Points===
| | Ex-team masters are shown in pale green. |
|
| |
|
| Team points can be spent to purchase the below privileges or items only by the current Team Master via the lobby counter's Team menu. Select Team, Master Menu, then Buying Privileges to see the available options. | | ==Team Points== |

| =====Team Flag=====
| |
| A team's '''flag''' is an emblem displayed next to every team member's name in the [[Visual Lobby|lobby]], as well as on [[Union Guard]]s and [[Union Field]]s. A team flag is a 32x32 bmp image saved as <code>flag.bmp</code> in the <code>teamflag</code> folder in the Ephinea directory. If a flag is larger than 32x32, ''PSO'' will automatically resize it. Any black (<span style="color: black">#000000</span>) pixels in the image become transparent when the flag is displayed in game.
| |
| | |
| To upload and update the team flag, first place the file correctly and purchase the Team Flag privilege. Then, access the lobby counter's Team menu and navigate to Master Menu followed by Team Flag Records and accept the option to load the <code>flag.bmp</code>.
| |
| | |
| ====Team items====
| |
| Any Team item purchased will be placed into the Team Master's current character's bank. If there is no space for an item there, Team items will be temporarily omitted from the Buying Privileges menu.
| |
| * Master's {{Sword|rare|Commander Blade}} - 5000 Team Points | |
| ** Only one Commander Blade can be purchased per team.
| |
| * [[Union Guard]] - 100 Team Points
| |

| |
| * Team Points 5000 - 5000 Team Points
| |
| * Team Points 10000 - 10000 Team Points
| |
| ** The primary function of these "Team Points" items is to be traded to players outside of a team, but they can also be used for a head start if the Team Master wishes to create a new team.
