But not every vet has received invites yet.

Will all vets get in today, or just "the lucky ones" ?

Some people have suggested:

EU people are in before US today.
(From UK, I am not in)
The original start date of your subscription to PS1 matters.
(I bought the game on the week it was released)
Your last date of subscription to PS1 matters.
(I was subscribed earlier in 2012, and now)
The duration of time spent playing PS1 matters.
(I think I clocked 31 months over 8 or 9 years off and on since PS1 release, not huge but still a fair while)
The date you signed up to beta matters.
(Like most PS1 vets I signed up as soon as it was available)
God hates us all.
(Real possiblity)

- Hearing Higby say in one of this videos that he really wanted vets in the game, or the assurances that they would get some kind of priority is really not showing to be true.
- There's no measuring stick they have for the amount of people you'd managed to convince to subscribe to the original game, or for drumming up interest in Planetside 2, which I've done a fair amount of.
- I have a week off work starting today.
- I built my machine FOR Planetside.
- Only later was it revealed that you have to have an Nvidia card for the 'full graphical/performance experience' (my AMD GPU crushes most Nvidia cards with pure muscle, but if this proves to be accurate I will end up with a couple of 680s, gg Nvidia).

It's a combination of these things which make me considerably disappointed and disenchanted.

Possibilities I've not heard confirmed:
Perhaps having to upload your specs for the beta, they only allow people with Nvidia GPUs to get in as part of Nvidias involvement with the project.
Perhaps if you add a PC Gamer key on top of your account when you are a vet, it relegates your status to that group.
If you actively show interest in playing TR like the majority of the mainstream internets and they want to balance factions.

Hopefully some of the above clears up a few questions for others.

As for the complaining, I realise it's a beta, that vet invites are most likely in waves as I think was hinted at - but I'm 30 years old now and feel entitled to rant like an old man.

Let me in SOE, I'm not getting any younger!

All vets are supposed to get in this wave, but the invite process could extend beyond today for this "wave".

That's what I thought... but I haven't been able to find the actual 'quote' for that... can anyone link where Smedley or someone else said that all vets would get in this wave?

"if you are a vet you are in on the 20th (as long as you registered for the beta)"

I hope it does not matter that I changed my email last week. I hope they take the stuff right out of the database and don't rely on some logged stuff, because the 6+ years old mail box is not available anymore.

thats what i was wondering..... and thats a very probable possibility

I wouldnt get bent out of shape just yet, as what others said.. its only 7am over there and im sure just like the "1st wave" a couple of weeks ago, they will not be flagging everyone at once to not kill the download server..

So now that im dressed.. time to stop hawking PSUniverse and be a productive member of society
