I'm sure that these people are a minority. I'm also sure that pretty much all vets will be in the beta very shortly (i.e. within a couple of weeks).

Edit: FYI, I'm no vet

I wouldnt call this complaining, its actually not that hard to understand why someone would be upset.

Spending thousands only to be shoved behind someone who purchased the game yesterday for $10..

"Beta" doesn't start until 2pm PST. Until that time, you might still receive the email you so desire.

Perhaps wait until then before flying off the handle.

You are entitled to nothing.

Just read this on Reddit..

Is this a joke SOE?

People have been a PS1 player for a few hours and they are gaining access over veterans to beta..

Most of those "vets":rofl: probably have never even played PS1!

Yet myself, a vet since 2004, that has payed countless months of 15$ subscriptions and IS a current PS1 subscriber hasn't received an invite?

I am happy for the people who got in but this is ridiculous.

And you can ignore your loyal fan base (which might I add is really stupid:doh:) but I think almost everyone can agree this is not right.

Everyone knew this was happening. Why the hell are you always flaming here?

You people should be happy, these brand new vets' money is going to keep ps1 alive when whiny people like you get salty and run back after hating ps2.

You got your period ladyboy?

Sit your ass down and wait. You'll be in the beta when SOE decides so. SOE didn't sort players according to subscription time, kill to death ratio or favourite tutu colour because they're busy developing the game. Assuming you're a vet you'll get in soon enough.

ps1 vet and i have an active subscription, so yes im entitled

and regardless if i had a subscription i think vets should have been in first, real vets you know that have actually logged into a PS1 server

and its funny everyone who is talking s*** above me was invited.

you would be equally pissed if you spent as much money on the game as i did

So here we are THE TRUE VETS who played PS1 for years.

And not one person on this world gives a damn how much money you put into planetside except for SOE shareholders.

You could have resubbed and had the same opportunity they did. Thus, this is all a moot point.

This whole system was set up to reward the vets who are actively playing first, the vets who aren't next. If some "newbies" are going to pay money to work the system, SOE gets more money for it anyhow and PS2 development benefits.

So really, crying about it is pointless. You could have done the same thing for the same result, and you still would have gotten in sooner if neither of you paid a dime.

Seriously, people will whine about anything.

I'm a original PS1 vet too, and no, I'm not a current subscriber. If I have to wait, I'll wait.

PS - On top of things, the motherboard in my gaming rig bit the dust recently. It'll probably be a week at least before I can get a replacement. What do you think, should I start a thread complaining about the unfairness of it all?

From what I understand anyone subscribed right now, that is classified as active is automatically flagged for beta.

Anyone that is a vet "i.e. subscribed at anytime since game first came out" they still have to sign up for the beta, and then they will be automatically flagged.

I tried to tweet as well

my case is that im a vet since 2004 and I have an active account right now

So i should be flagged but for some reason im not.

As I have said before I am just disappointed, I was promised access and that didnt happen.

Its not the end of the world, but a company that I have given so much money to and brought so many people into the game just to be ignored isnt the greatest feeling. But whatever ill live just wondering whats going on

Why are there so many people creating threads like this?

These people are not Vets. Not in Smeds eyes, not in SOE’s eyes. None of them have ever said that. They are “active subscribers”. And yes, an “active subscriber” (someone who purchases PS1 & gets an active subscription) will get priority over people who haven’t played the game in years.

Get over it. You should have spent the £7.50 to reactivate your PS1 sub for 1 month. I did. I spend more than that on coffee most days... Jees people are tight!

2012-08-06, 12:59 PM
so is the actual gamepass status of "Active" mean you can DL at 2:00?

Ooh, but what if I want to rage that I'm a vet with no current sub, but I do have a PC Gamer Key? I mean WTH? I paid cash for the key, not just beggin on twitter (although I did that too...thx @PurrfectStorm, not my kiddo can eventually play too). Same as someone paying $15 bucks yesterday for a spot in beta.

Or do I decide not to rage and sit back and wait as its been over a year and a half since PS Next was rumored to be coming so what's a few days when compared to that length of time that I've been waiting. I mean my patience is tempered as it's been a damn long time, not just some fanboi who saw it at ChinaJoy or E3. I mean imagine the rage every day of wait is such a long time when compared to the short time they've been waiting.

They aren't vets. They are active subscribers.

There is a difference, I would hope people could see that.

Hopefully you payed the hundreds of pounds to play PS1 happily over 10 years. The money you paid was to play PS1. "2 day vets" as you call them missed out on a decade of MMOFPS.

This is BETA. That means they dont really give a damn about anyone as an individual right now. They care only about the development of their product. Am I one of the only few who understand this? If you cared about PS2 as a game more than your individual access then you would be happy to be a little more patient.

I am a 9yr TOS vet and Im not in yet. You dont see me going apeshit.

Dev team avoided a massive ball-ache by prioritising access like they did to their unfinished product that doesnt even make any money yet. ITS NOTHING PERSONAL.

I am a current subscriber as well as being a vet

Just read this on Reddit..

Is this a joke SOE?

People have been a PS1 player for a few hours and they are gaining access over veterans to beta..

Most of those "vets":rofl: probably have never even played PS1!

Yet myself, a vet since 2004, that has payed countless months of 15$ subscriptions and IS a current PS1 subscriber hasn't received an invite?

I am happy for the people who got in but this is ridiculous.

And you can ignore your loyal fan base (which might I add is really stupid:doh:) but I think almost everyone can agree this is not right.

UPDATE:

After talking to customer support, apparently my account was "bugged" (their exact words) and my account wasnt showing active even though I had game time and was playing the game. It is too late now to help my cause. I will still be flagged as a veteran but missed out on this wave because of an error on their part.

So yes I was screwed because of SOE.

Glad we can agree your title is stupid.

Now let’s look at your post.



Why are you calling active subscribers vets? You’re confused.

im using their words from reddit hence the quotation marks. I dont call them vets. quit making stupid post

It's not fair, but its not worth an over-reaction.

I bet we're talking small numbers of people here and I'm almost sure we're talking the difference of 24-48 hours in between active subs and veterans.

They probably just don't want to crash the server immediately.

Hey The Krush, experiencing the exact same thing you are, contacted support to find my account was never flagged for veterans priority. Got that fixed up but no invite. So you emailed Smed?

Hunterzen
2012-08-06, 09:33 PM
You don't receive an email. Your account is just flagged. Check Planetside.com/download if you can DL the game you're flagged.
My account was never flagged even though I am a veteran who paid and played Planetside for years so I decided to find a twitter key, but then I read a tweet from Smed I think it was that if you are a veteran your account would be flagged when beta went live and that your status would get priority and supersede any key you entered, so my question is if that is true why can't I still download the launcher?
