Devs toying with our emotions

[Mechzz]

Now they're just mocking us.....

Or am I missing something about "BETTA" - Basti posted something about this the other day?

Hmmm, I see the potential for a different, more positive message. Though, I tend to read between the lines a lot...

[Neurotoxin]

We pushed them into this.

We kept asking about Beta and Betta enough that someone (TRay I think) just started focusing on the Betta part. A few tweet jokes later, PurrfectStorm was starting to writing up a proposal for it.

And here we are now. Its PlanetSide 2 Betta time!!

[TerranTitan]

Miss Krohn can honk my BETTA any day!

I expect a live web cam pointed at the tank with a list of feeding times and milestones.

[Atheosim]

I honestly think it's hilarious and am so fucking happy that the devs are allowed to have so much fun while they're making this.

[Zenben]

Are they alluding to something? I THINK SOOOOOOO but it's probably just wishful thinking.

[stordito]

Screw PS2 Beta! i want betta!
give us betta already!

Speaking of which..... Possible inspiration for their Bio Lab design....?

Betta?

Is that the name of Higby's new cat?

[Kipper]

Yeah, a game (or any product) is betta when the people making it really believe in it.... and a betta product makes more money... So this new SoE that listens and interacts with its community is great for everyone :)

Higby once tweeted why people ask him constantly about Betta, while also linking to the Betta wiki article.

Blame him!

[Bluecewe]

Yeah, they're just being nasty now. :(

[Corax]

Time to go fishing for more information!

[Geist]

OMG, I think they're saying if we all get Betta fish and spam their twitters with our own hilarious Betta puns and pictures of Betta related items, they'll release Beta. It's BETTA than nothing. :p

[Hamma]

I think it's pretty funny :lol:

They aren't just mocking you, they're downright OWNING your emotions.

It's such a running riot.

[DayOne]

I BET a BETTA BETA will BEcome of the waiting. BETTA get ready for a BETTA BETA soon!

[Graywolves]

I don't like fish.

I'm pretty sure that is a goldfish.

I'm pretty sure that is a goldfish.

damn it... the tank i kidnapped it from said siamese fighting fish on it.. foiled, by your complete lack of sense of humor.

[duomaxwl]

Lucky fish. Gets to peer over dev's shoulders all day.

Brusi wins thread lol

[Xyntech]

Hey Higgs, don't make us wait.
Take the alpha, and make it beta.
Remember, to let us in at the start,
Then we'll take part, to test the beta

Beta, beta, beta, beta, BETA!

[Brusi]

You guys do realise, that if the devs take this joke to it's logical conclusion, that they are planning on purchasing 2000 red, blue and purple betta fish... and throwing them all in together in a big tank at E3!

Don't do it guys!!! Think of the fishes!!!

That would be AWESOME!!! DO IT, DO IT!!! 2000 fighting fish in one big tank! They will go apeshit over the sheer amount of targets...hey..wait a min..that's kinda what PS2 is going to be like huh? AWESOME!!!!! DO IT, DO IT!!!

[FPClark]

As long as the purple fish get lasers...

[That one noob]

I have a feeling that the Betta are organic timers, and beta will start when two of the three fish die, and the one who survives will give its faction a starting resource buff. But that's just me hoping anyway. :)

Bettas can live over 10 years...I hope not lol

[Hermes]

This is hilarious :D

Bravo devs. Bravo.

[Mechzz]

Purrfect Storm has bought 3 Bettas and they've got them in the office it would seem:

Now, I'm sure PETA would object, but shouldn't they be in the same bowl, not being fed so they get aggressive and fight each other?

Or do SOE need to be able to say "no animals were hurt in the making of this video game" so they can get a "12" certificate?

[Wargrim]

While Red and Blue proudly show their colours, the Purple one is hiding in the bushes. How fitting. :)

[Shogun]

lol

this shows we just got betar devs than any other game!

please make me a betar man!

it´s so great to see that our devs can be as funny as the rest of the community! you are funny evil gods!

[Kipper]

betar

I love how you've misspelt the misspelling of beta. Not sure if its comic genius or sheer stupidity, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt :-)

[SniperSteve]

I expect Betta Easter-eggs in PS2.

Those devs betta do it!

[NCLynx]

Bettas can live over 10 years...I hope not lol

Sounds about right for us to get the beta by that time.

That would actually be pretty cool lol, the betta fish that they bought are in one small puddle off the coast of who knows where on one continent only making it hard to find them.

Betta Fish Merit kinda like the monoliths lol

[Captain1nsaneo]

Need 24/7 fish webcam. I remember when I used to do homework with this hawk nest webcam that was setup on the east coast just running in the background. Was great because I could see the Sun come up several hours ahead of me while it was still dark. A useful warning.

[Luperza]

Aww! I hope you all like it. We thought it was pretty humorous as well. I just loved the idea. It's also a great way to interact with the PlanetSide 2 community. :)

BTW! I just fed them. Just want to note to the person saying the VS fish was hiding...Look at Pappa Smurf being all camera shy. They are definitely being more lively than the first day we got them.

[SniperSteve]

Mr. Elmo is all bold and stuff. Just like a true TR!

[Boogere]

Just wanted to pop in here and suggest this but what if the devs put in an aquarium in the biodomes and the color of the Bettas corresponded to either who controlled either the biodome it self or was dependent on who owns a number of control points on the map?

[Captain1nsaneo]

Mr. Elmo is all bold and stuff. Just like a true TR!

He's putting his head just right out there! Just right out there! No helmet or anything.

[Lorgarn]

I don't mind the interaction, it's fun to get a little insight of what your life at SOE looks like at times. :)

And yes, beautiful fish it beautiful. :)

[Malorn]

I'm glad they mocking us entertains them. That might bring about actual beta that much sooner. Look at me, I sound like an addict.

[Shogun]

I love how you've misspelt the misspelling of beta. Not sure if its comic genius or sheer stupidity, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt :-)

i couldn´t decide how to misspell it best ;-) and it took some time to decide between bettar or betar ;) i guess it was the right decision if you got it ;)

[Tikuto]

I'm depressed.

If living off of Planetside can be labeled(this spelling looks so awkward..) as an addiction....I don't want to rehab or ever withdrawal.

Thanks for dropping by Purrfect :love::love::love:

We love this idea, really, but we're just a bit fragile what with this sustained group hysteria we're going through waiting on b**a.

btw, the VS fish will actually grow up to be a great white shark and the other two will be bleating (bubbling?) for it to be nerfed just before it jumps out of its bowl and eats them :):)

[TheBladeRoden]

Forget betas or bettas, I want to play this beeta basti always talks about.

[Hamma]

:lol:
