Do you still plan on posting here after getting into Beta?

Sephirex · 2012-08-04, 09:30 PM

Beta's almost here, and during the next few weeks, a lot of us will be getting in.
Which means an NDA and a switch to the Beta Forums for all Beta discussions.

As much complaining as I hear about our community, I think the Beta forum community will be a definite downgrade and I'm definitely going to miss hearing the opinions of most, if not all of you.

So questions are,
Do you plan to keep in touch on these forums even with the NDA?
How much do you plan on interacting with the official Beta forums?
And do you think you'll be back as soon as NDA drops?

I'll spend as little time as possible on official forums.. haha.

Stop acting like you're not in beta right now. Lol
Well I guess that's proof that you will.

Well what else am I going to do when servers are down?

Trying not to die from withdrawal Symptom's and praying that a Medic is near to revive you.

In all seriousness, Tech Test has only increased the activity here. Lots of folks on these forums are already in tech test and posting here.

This is true, the NDA must be driving them mad.

Nope. I have an unfriendly online attitude and a desire to do more then surf 300 forums. I'll stick to beta discussions and actually work to help balance the game and squash bugs.

Helps to actually participate in subjects that have some kind of meaning other then mindless arguments.

i dont, i like having places liek that, jsut liek CoD and WoW, they are like filters. they take the majority of things i dont want to deal with, and keep them there.

the official forums, like ps1, are just going to be full of complainers, ragers and trolls.

i hope that this place keeps what we have, maybe lose some of the extra weight.

If there are multiple named servers like in PS1 and most MMO's I'm hoping for official server forums but that's about it. From my experience, General Discussion is to be avoided unless you feel like getting angry, while Server forums we're generally better off because communities form and you actually have a reputation to think of.

Where is that thread again?

Thanks for re-enforcing my point.

I'm not so sure I would like that option myself. I like what we have now independent from SOE, totally community run and supported. Be on the lookout for a short donation drive

Honestly for reasons I probably shouldn't go into PSU is still the best place to talk about Planetside on the interweb!

Oh and if you see one of my threads in there during beta, be sure to hop in and lend me your support too!

Thanks for the kind words Dart! Hope you and your guys stick around PSU after the official forums open I've enjoyed your contributions.

I would hope you'd all be on the official beta forums spamming topics begging for sanctuaries, and keeping the bad parts of 'modern shooters' out of this game.

Not just technical changes, and bug fixes occur during beta. Design overhauls can occur too, if there's enough demand for them.
