View Full Version : Beta date confirmed
So T-Ray tweeted today that they have set a beta date.
http://twitter.com/#!/ps_tray (make sure to follow him while you're there, we get major info when he hits 1000)
However he didn't disclose what the date was.
Anyway, I'm guessing that they have had a date for some time, they just kept quiet about it until now. I can understand this because with this rabid fanbase, they would certainly be overwhelmed with fans demanding to know the date.
With that said I think I speak for all of us when I say:
:groovy:WE DEMAND TO KNOW THE DATE:groovy:
EDIT: T-Ray will release the date once he has 1000 followers on Twitter. Follow him now slackass!

What a tease.
That's the second time I needed to quote you today...
I stand by my captivating title. I saw this tweet 9 hours ago on my lunch break. Anyone fooled by it clearly isn't following T-Ray on twitter and thus deserves the disappointment.
Get T-Ray to 1k and let's get some goodies people.

I just got a tweet alert from him. Apparently if he gets to 1k followers, he'll give us the date that marketing wants him to give us.

A date might help the current games population, conditions or beta entry would be nice as a U.S and Canada only BETA would suck ass and be a real own goal.

Notice that his tweet dropped minutes after I created this thread. Coincidence? I think not.
Where's your gratitude?

All I know is, I logged in and saw him say they had a release date. I tweeted and asked if it was legit. He replied with the quote I posted (I'm @freektrain).

you think they will go for a May 20th or 21st release with beta starting soon then?

That's what one of the working theories was when Mr.Smedley announced "something big" almost a year ago.

So does anyone actually know how beta invites to vets are going to work?
Do I need to continue and maintain an active sub or what?
With myself being in college, I'm having to count every penny and wasting on a game I don't play anymore seems ridiculous.

they have said planetside subs will get first acces, SOE all access always gets into bets, im told...
Know the right people? :)

Have they? I've only heard the latest official word, which was something along the lines of "we will take care of loyal subscribers" or something very similar to that. Whilst one could intuit any number of things, it does not out-and-out specifically state "If you have a PS subscription in good standing/active PS sub/PS sub, you will get into beta". And considering the amount of erroneous or ill-timed information that's come out in the last year, I'm not willing to bet money.
The bottom line though, to the person who asked (was it xSquirtle? too lazy to scroll up), there has not been definitive word. Nothing concrete or absolutely clear. So nobody knows if it's a non-banned PS account, an active sub, or just having a PS account in general. My advice would be, maintain an active sub. That's about the only surefire way if one uses logic.
My 2 cents is that for load testing, they'll need the current PS subscriber base and then some. It might be small at first but eventually it has to be huge.
Plus the game is free, beta is marketing. The more, the merrier.

Well, he didn't actually SAY Beta, so if that's not the case, most of you will be sorely disappointed. It could mean anything.

If for what ever reason, that might be true. I think it might be a last ditch effort to pass higby in subscribers.

I am equally thrilled and angered about new people tuning into T-Ray's tweet after hearing this.
Why does it make me angry?
Why didn't you do it when it was for the VS pics? No solidarity huh?
/rant
So is there a wild mass guess about the beta date yet?
We could start a betting pool :D
I never subed to PS, but i swear i'll pay at least 5 mounth of premium! Plus i'll be a good boy, AND i'll advertise!
please take into beta...

Now he's denying it? CMON T-RAY. Unless he's just saying he's not releasing the RELEASE date but the BETA date is still on?

Whats the fuss about a release date anyway? Its unimportant, in fact it is stupid to even think about it or set a release date in the first place.
Release is once the game is ready. And you dont know if it is ready till deep into beta.
The beta date is the only important one. Thats the date the devs have influence on.

I think he also said in one of his tweets that we would be disappointed in the beta date, which is kind of a hint that it is a long way off. I'm sure they have a schedule, and I think if the beta date was firm and soon they might have told us already. I'm beginning to wonder if we'll have beta before the next Fan Faire.
Seems the only thing we have confirmed at this time is that launch will be before the end of the world. (12/21/12)
Firefly
2011-11-15, 12:50 PM
I think the key word was "that marketing wants me to give" which is probably something vague and generally generic like "sometime in 2012". Which is why he said we'd be disappointed.
I'm tempted to make a witty quip about SOE marketing, and draw reference to their non-existent billing of Planetside. And how there can't possibly be a marketing department.
But I won't.
Because I'm choosing optimism this time around.

Instead of everyone waiting for a beta date and yes as good as it sounds , we're getting planetside 2 , why don't you all play some other games to pass the time , like BF3 MW3 SKyrim and there is plenty of new games out there . The game i really wan't is planetside 2 but something tells me that we're not getting it anytime soon . Forget about planetside 2 and enjoy some other games and hey before you know it we get a ps2 beta invite
