10 Day War. Has it started?

[TalonClaw]

Today is suppose to be the day. I want to see if PS is worth coming back too.

Let us know if you hear anything.

TC

[SilverLord]

Hamma will put up a news post about it most likely. So don't worry about it, just keep checking PSU and the SOE site.

[AltaEgo]

I thought it was ages ago. Heheh. :p

[TalonClaw]

Yeah AlltaEgo it is like two weeks late now.

[OfaLoaf]

It began May 17th. Today is the 28th.

[FatalLight]

It began May 17th. Today is the 28th.
Began as in was working?

[Indecisive]

Hah. No. They forgot about it again.

[Henya]

They haven't had the 10 day war yet.......y are you guys saying it was two weeks ago because it wasn't - it hasn't begun yet - spork said it was going to happen the 28th which is today but no announcement yet.

[matty]

Must have had some "Timing" issues again :rolleyes:

[Kam]

(Admins were drunk)

[Lartnev]

Correction, Spork said maybe the 28th.

[OfaLoaf]

You mean they didn't go through with it? Ballocks, they kept on saying the 17th.

[Kam]

They had a hangover too.

[Cauldron Borne]

Those Dev/Frat parties get to them...

Bunch of pimply 18-32 yr old who can't hold their liquor :D

[Hezzy]

Yes.

EDIT: No.

EDIT2: Maybe.

[Henya]

'You do not have a PlanetSide subscription.'


BASTARDS.

[matty]

I made a post about it on the main PS forums on a friends account located here. (http://psforums.station.sony.com/ps/board/message?board.id=psdiscussion&message.id=90219)
Just bump it or bring it to the dev's attention so that we can get an answer on the issue.

[FraudulentBob]

I want to resubscribe because I used to love the massive battles, but I want to try out the new changes before I commit to another 3 months.

[Henya]

that's the problem though - people who want this to happen are not subscribers and therefore cannot post on the OF :mad:

the thread is at the bottom of the boards could some subscriber please bump it?

[Lartnev]

It's out of the dev teams hands I think. It's mainly in the hands of marketting and customer services (or whoever it is who takes our money and gives us our subscriptions)

[Henya]

well spork is community relations - im sure he has some input on this.

[Deathwatch]

Like with all things - the 10 day war thing will happen in the near future, only to be pushed back for later usage. :)

[Indecisive]

WTF WTF WTF WTF. Damn. Still abolutely NO news about this. What. The hell.

[Lartnev]

well spork is community relations - im sure he has some input on this.

Probably only to the point of requesting that it be sped up etc.

'You do not have a PlanetSide subscription.'

Thank you Lord, for fucking over Smiley. Thank you Lord, for denying this shit-eating pile of dung to play my beloved Planetside. Thank you Lord, for ensuring that today will not be the day that Smiley's reign of n00bspamming terror shall be reinstated. Amen

[TalonClaw]

I found my 7 day give a friend and never used it. Ok after a night of play the world is still underpopulated.

There are lots of new toys to play with though. Lag is still a problem.

Oh well. 6 more nights to play with it.

[FraudulentBob]

Thank you Lord, for fucking over Smiley. Thank you Lord, for denying this shit-eating pile of dung to play my beloved Planetside. Thank you Lord, for ensuring that today will not be the day that Smiley's reign of n00bspamming terror shall be reinstated. Amen
Just resubscribed, still have 203 Grief, letting it diminish to 0 and going to reign hell in Auraxis.

[Hezzy]

I don't think the 10 day war thing is ever coming.

[OfaLoaf]

Reign hell? You call an Agile suit and a repeater hell?

[Zosky]

I consider anything more powerful than a rock to have a "reigning hell" capability

[JetRaiden]

wow. :rolleyes:

I shall reign hell on you all with a slingshot! MUHAHAHA!!! TREMBLE IN FEAR!!!

[FraudulentBob]

No, I'm talking about camping my own Empire's spawn in a key battle, with an MCG.

[NoSurrender]

[OfaLoaf]

tking? Dishonorable in all regards.

[Diddy Mao]

They be doing other shtuff so, the once again neglected to re-activate teh accounts ><

[Zosky]

Fraud, why do you team kill?

[Madcow]

Fraud, why do you team kill?

Because reactions like this from people like you validate his very existence.

[Indecisive]

Hah. Well, you are just going to get banned. Again. Then we will all laugh.


And also, methinks that they fucked up the del varients so bad on purpose, to get our minds of this 10 day war, because it is NEVER coming.

[Madcow]

The 10 day war specifically isn't coming because of how bad I hear this patch is. The 10 day war is also the reason that the patch went in without proper testing. Think about it, people. They announce a 10 day war for all old subscribers to try to get them interested in playing the game again. They know they need some new hotness to actually suck people into the game again and get them to resubscribe, people aren't going to suddenly change their mind about a game which is essentially the same as it was when they cancelled their subscription. So they rush a patch through with new content to try to get it pushed into the game before the 10 day war starts. Then the patch (predictably) sucks due to lack of testing and they realize there is a potential fiasco on their hands. If they start the 10 day war as scheduled, everybody that comes back is quickly going to realize that nothing has changed and Sony has blown their marketing opportunity to bring old players back. So Sony pushes the war back hoping to smooth the patch over enough that it won't be a complete detriment to old players coming back to the game. In typical Sony fashion, they can't even think of a good lie to cover up their ineptitude so they just clam up and don't bother offering any explanation. How is this not really plain to people?

[Madcow]

:zzz:

I apologize if my assault of plain logic overwhelmed.

[Lartnev]

I completely agree Madcow, although I'm not sure that the patch is so horrible that it would put people off playing it, I agree that they wanted the deliveres in before the 10 day war to show off their new toys. The dev team I suppose can request to hold the 10 day war, but ultimately it's in the hands of SOE's PR division.

From what I heard, it's not that bad for everybody. But you could instantly cross every person off the list who has the issue with the ground disappearing, obviously none of them would end up resubscribing to the game. Why would Sony shoot themselves in the foot with that, regardless of how few might be impacted by it? In the meantime, those of us who were paying attention to the start of the 10 day war (and I'm not sure there are all that many of us) will have stopped paying attention by the time they get around to actually doing it. The 10 day war was a really good idea, but they've done a piss poor job of coordinating it.

[Lartnev]

I'm sure you'd be sent an email, that's what they do for EverQuest.

"Update" http://psforums.station.sony.com/ps/board/message?board.id=psdiscussion&message.id=98609#M98609
The reactivation is still pending. Unfortunately, things have changed slightly, in terms of scheduling. I wish I could give a better date, but I can't at this point due to certain marketing dependencies on the deal. I am expecting it to happen very shortly, however.
