You guys are already doing an amazing job! People can go crazy over assumptions made over the smallest bit of information, I think it got a bit out of hand this time because of the population boom PSU has seen recently and the number of people that were apparently available to post on these forums for the last eleven hours.

By the way, I hope PG are on that list...

Other than the sour grapes in this thread, it's gone surprisingly well. I expected to hear my outfit get dragged through the mud about how we are nobodies etc etc. Well, that did happen in a couple posts, but only people with entitlement problems ("If I don't know them, they were not important or respected").

The Archangels were a large outfit in game for awhile (100+ members). We were in the beta very early. And while we haven't been playing for awhile now, we absolutely LOVE Planetside, and are scratching at the walls to get into PS2.

Hell, I wasn't even invited into First Platoon and I'm the actual leader of the outfit . I trust Snipefrag's opinion though, and he did lead the PS1 group.

Let's hope this entitlement syndrome doesn't manifest during beta invites.

Oh yeah, I'm not writing myself off. I intend to be a valuable tester and give as much feedback as is humanly possible. I just also understand why some of these close knit outfits would be valuable to have as the earliest entrants. Their organization will even help other testers as they trickle in.

I'd still rather get in sooner than later to help out, as I'm sure many others would. But I just don't really feel hurt or anything that I don't meet their criteria for absolute first entrants. I'll get my chance to help when the game is ready for my contributions to be valuable, as we all will.

I don't know that the actual "outfit leaders" are the ones who have to be involved anyway. I make the assumption that we're not the only outfit that has multiple competent leaders. As long as someone who is experienced and respected is the one being included from an outfit, it should be good enough. (Besides, as you noted, he led in PS1.)

I agree, which is why I didn't rage when he posted that on our forums. It's no biggie. Snipefrag played PS1 a hell of a lot longer than I did, so he's definitely earned the right to represent the Archangels in First Platoon.

How can this be bad news?
For all intents and purposes this means beta is here, and now, and eventually people en-mass will be invited in.

Props.

Thanks Matt, I appreciate your replies here. I apologize for being a bit overzealous. You all have been great to us, and though this thread may not be typical of it, we appreciate you taking the time to keep tabs on the community.

Sane, logical, mature... a self moderated attitude to be respected.

We're all getting in, and it's happening soon. Flying off the handle isn't the way to deal, and it's apparent that at least some people know it.

Agreed, especially given his somewhat unique position, and take on it.
