If you're certain you're going to be playing and paying for PS2, then today is a good day to skip buying those fireworks and invest in some dead zebra skins instead.  |

Played some PS last night, sniped some people and zerged a tower a few times. I enjoyed it. I still really dig the sniping, bullet travel time, and reticle system. You really have to predict the target's reaction. I made an amazing shot on a MAX in run mode that was out of armor.
Might keep rocking this a bit....

I read it as paying subs set at the top of the list.
Yay for the nod to the PC Gamer promo, I sponsor that for the library's periodical room and yoinked the code when it came in.
Thanks for reminding me. I knew I had that issue of PC Gamer lying around somewhere. I found it and the code worked. |

Looks rad. Couple of system hangs, and it felt kinda empty, but those are expected.

Based on the pop-locks happening on PS1 NOW, don't worry, it won't be empty as soon as beta starts in earnest.

As if Higby even knows what the hell that even means. Now get out there and collect me some recon and prove me wrong about this farce of Planetside.  |

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.

Beta starts on my birthday? I don't know how I feel about this. I don't think the floating saunahouse I rented for the whole weekend has wifi.
Edit: Oh, hey, it's just a technical test. I can get relax and get pissdrunk at the same time after all.

Hey all!
First off, we're really all insanely excited about getting everyone in and playing the game as soon as possible. This has been a long road and it feels like we've all been in it together, having this next phase getting kicked off is a huge thrill for us.
I wanted to come by and give you guys some info about our beta plans and have there be one source of info from the dev team about what we're doing with beta rather than having a bunch of speculation based on tweets. Most of this info has been out there, but in various disconnected posts, so here it is all in one easy to reference spot.
Here is some general info about our current beta plans, what you should expect and when. I'll be sure to update this with more info and answers to more questions as I see them.
1 - Our external testing will be kicking off sometime this week (to be totally clear, I mean the week of July 9th - July 15th) with the technical test that we've been talking a lot about. This test will let us make sure the game runs across a variety of hardware configurations and the people invited will be hand picked based on the requirements in our hardware matrix. We're currently internally evaluating the build we expect to be used for this test and those players who have been selected will be receiving invites as soon as we're ready.
2 - We will be opening up the test in multiple phases or stages, inviting more and more players for each phase. Our priority invitees are those of you who are PlanetSide vets, and those who have priority beta keys (i.e. keys from the PC Gamer magazines), as well as those who received keys from members of the dev teams or at E3. Just so I'm 100% clear, we're not going to be opening the floodgates by inviting all of the thousands of PlanetSide veterans on day 1, but you are still the highest priority to get invites as we expand the testing circle out.
3 - Beta testing will begin with specific pre-determined times, and eventually will open up to being available more often. These testing times will be communicated through email to players who have been flagged for access.
4 - PlanetSide vets do not need a beta key, their accounts will be flagged for beta and they will receive an email letting them know – if you are a PlanetSide veteran, make sure your station account email is up to date.
5 - While we’re making every effort to communicate accurate times & dates to you guys, and get the beta going as soon as possible, if unforeseen circumstances occur and we’re forced to delay testing then we will.
6 - Beta testing is a critically important part of our development cycle on this project, we may be asking you to only play on tanks for a play session, or only play aircraft. We are doing true beta testing, not just a game demo and we implore those of you who are invited to understand and respect that. Things will break, the server will be unavailable sometimes, we will cancel scheduled tests when we find something that breaks before the test starts. All of this will help us make a better final game.
Looking forward to shooting you in the face and / or shooting other people in the face alongside you.

What is a planetside "veteran"? If I bought PS1 when it came out and haven't played it in forever does that count?

Supposedly if you have ever had a Planetside login and still have a station account. I don't even have the email used from back then or the CC I used or even the same bank account. Then again, I don't really want to revive anything to do with this. |

Source? I keep hearing that, but I don't even remotely believe it. There's no way they can extend an open ended beta invite to every tom dick and harry that once had a PS1 account. It has to be wishful thinking, and there's gonna be wailing and teeth gnashing when it hits everyone that to qualify as a 'vet' you had to have been a paying customer for a PS1 account in recent memory or you aren't a real vet.

Planetside 1 is still $15 a month, right? If that is so, I don't think re-subbing just for a beat key is worth it. But I am tempted nonetheless. I still think that PS1 in Beta was a better game than what went live,.

So did beta start? I am not asking for details, just want to know if it actually got off the ground. |

If beta started last Thursday, then we probably have another few days until Bloodworth stops talking about how awesome it's going to be.  |

Tech test first, closed beta to start after. Tech test started over the weekend. Length of tech test to be determined by issues that crop up.
