Planetside 2 twitter died

the planetside 2 twitter seemed to have died. Says the channel no longer exists.

It's there for me.

NCLynx · 2012-06-08, 11:12 PM

There for me as well.

Greeniegriz · 2012-06-08, 11:21 PM

There for me also. It starting to get kind of spammy with them splitting up the Beta keys. lol

Cheers,

Well lets hope they are making the game ready for beta instead of wasting time on social sites!

Those keys are still flooding my feed

mirwalk · 2012-06-08, 11:50 PM

think I hit refresh one to many times.
Giving up on the beta keys now. I see them pop in, but give it about ten seconds and it then adds a full 15 seconds on the time since it was tweeted. So I don't really see the keys for probably 10-15 seconds later then the people closer to the server. They are always used up. I am a little too proud to go begging a key.

I got lucky with one DM'd to me. After that I tried to do the copy/paste thing for my third account but it got old really really fast.

Cheers,

Because the programmers double as the PR people

I have yet to work for a company that has made THAT mistake.

Twitter employs rate limits on how fast you can query their platform. Current GET requests are limited to 150/hour...

I know it is tempting to keep hitting refresh but your best bet is to interact with them and hope for a DM at this point.

tweet a pic of you representing in other games or irl, i got one cause i was able to do my Charr up in Vanu colours in Guildwars2

Hai, new to the forums, just wanted to ask a few questions..
How do ya manage to get blocked?
Are you actually trying to F5 the page for the keys?
Wouldn't using a direct stream feed be better? ( Thats how I gotz me a beta key

)

Just trying to help a bit..

mirwalk · 2012-06-09, 08:36 AM

I had set up a follow, but found that if I did the F5 usually I would see it quicker. So after awhile twitter would show the PS2 channel as being gone. since I was refreshing so hardcore.
If I let the feed pop in as a new tweet usually it was 30secs or so after the tweet went out, so the key had been used before I ever saw it.
I spent about 4-5 hours on Thursday and 6 hours Friday watching and waiting. Split my screen to two windows and resized to give the quickest possible copy paste setup. Think I had 30 tries in that time. A few I thought I was close, but station.sony.com kicked me out at the last second.

Posted this on the twitter feed.

Trying to capture a Beta Key
Like trying to take out an infiltrator
You watch, you wait, for one moment
There it is! off to the side
You act, you move, you shoot
Smoke and fire clouds your sight
It clears, the key has vanished again
Woe to your Empire
it has lost a soldier

Thought this one was decent. Mostly driven by some boredom waiting for the next one to come out while watching snippets Day 3 live feed.

My beta hopes, crashing like a scythe
Crushed like a galaxy under a drop pod
Quick to the spawn tubes!
