You bumped a thread that had been posted in one minute earlier. Wow.

Seriously though, this thread is worth that kind of attention! Beta approaches!

I'm a PS vet and I don't give a flying fuck whether I get into beta or not as long as when the game goes live it is well populated with minimal bugs and solid gameplay. Planetside was revolutionary, offering a type of thoroughly addictive and satisfying gameplay previously unseen. I'm willing to wait that much longer for it to happen this time around as well.

Well, it's not EA doing the game, so things are already looking WAY up!

If the game is not fucked up at release I'm so gonna hire people to just point the face of a man responsible for BF3 patches at it. Point it so hard that his nose bleeds.

My highly tuned EMS-ESP has yet to fail me.

Conveniently I also had bouts of illness around the BC, WotLK, and Tribes: Ascend betas. Guess certain illnesses are directly linked to Beta Testing. Someone should do a study on that.

Go outside more, do your immune system a favour.

He's probably the same guy in charge of SWTOR updates.

So what about those of us who have played the past 8 years but don't have an active account this month because I'm about to move across the country?

I've been in PS1 beta (phase2 or 3, I forget which), and had a sub (soe all access) now and pretty much constantly since planetside came out.

Doesn't bother me at all that people who pick up this one magazine will get 'priority access' along with me, there is only one thing that worries me.

What if 'priority access' is not actual beta access, but instead a priority beta pool they pick from to invite in waves.

Pretty much I don't care of PCG people get in the same time as me, but if it is a 'pool' thing, and PSG people end up getting in earlier waves of invites than ps1 vets and current subscribers, I'd think that is BS.

Then you should get to beta, test it and if needed yell at everything thats not revolutionary, addictive and satisfying gameplay. If you ignore it there is chance that it wont be that what you expected as fps genre changed over that 8 years.

Sad to hear that resubbing for the last 7 months was a waste of money, but yay nonetheless.
