So it's not starting for the rest of us then?

Typherian · 2012-07-12, 01:28 PM

wait wait, am I reading this right.... beta will start for some PS1 vets in the next 24 hours......?

Vets and those who entered a beta key into their account get priority beta access. All other accounts that simply registered to beta, without a beta key, are invited after the priority access accounts. They will be inviting people in waves, even vets I think.

none will get in today anyway as you will have to download the game first

Sephirex · 2012-07-12, 01:31 PM

As a vet he'll get into beta, whether he jets over there or not tomorrow. Not a solid confirmation.

Poser · 2012-07-12, 01:30 PM

In before the lock.

There are TWO sticky threads. lol

Crator · 2012-07-12, 01:31 PM

Perhaps, not certain they lock tweet threads though... Could be wrong.

I'm going to be quite honest.. I don't think this is true. The technical test piece is first not every vet getting into beta. That would be a horrible beta for all of us because they haven't tested their infrastructure yet.

In short: don't get your hopes up of getting a beta invite tomorrow or today if you are a vet.

I agree. I wouldn't be surprised if the technical test starts today (or they at least send out the emails for the tech test), but I am very skeptical that beta would start today.

^^^ Is suppose that does hold some truth to it...

From PS2 Beta info thread:

So if I'm understanding this right, the Beta starts today July 12 Thursday as pwer the BETA DATE thread. If so then that might explain why TB is at SOE and probably means he will be in game on opening of the beta.

Time to shoot some devs and TB

*sigh*

I think this could have been posted in the thread you mentioned..

It's simple:

1) Beta starts when Higby gets a haircut.

Until you see his hair hit the floor, just assume that beta is still "Soon(TM)"

2) Planetside 1 vets, PCGamer key holders, and Fanfair/E3 key holders will be the first to get in. After that, twitter and facebook keys, along with every other beta key will be the next to get in. Finally, people who simply registered for beta but have no other priority access will get in.

Players who have ever paid any money at all to play Planetside 1 are definitely vets. Everyone else, we're not sure. You'll have to wait and see.

3) People will get into beta in waves.

Even if you have multiple top priority first access keys and vet status, you still may not get in right away, but you will get in sooner than others who aren't as high priority.

So it sounds like beta starts today, but we can't be 100% sure yet. But even if it does start today, still expect to wait a while before you get in, especially if you are in one of the lower priority groups.

But we will all be in soon enough, and having the beta process about to start is a lot closer than we've been before. So let's cut some goddamn hair.

From what I can tell, twitter keys are the same as vets and PC Gamer keys.
