View Full Version : As beta nears, I have a question that I've had for a while.

So I had a PCG key which I entered back in april, but afterwards I entered in a lower-tier twitter key because I thought they were higher priority due to the fact that less would be given out. Do I now get the twitter priority or do I retain the PCG priority? I'm pretty worried now.

Apparently they're equal priority

One of the devs tweeted that PCG and vets get higher priority

Pcg and ps1 vets are first priority, along with twitter and e3 keys. Basically if you have received a key prior to beta, or are a ps1 vet, you're first in. Vets are before everyone though. You just have more priority over random selections.

Pic or it didn't happen. No seriously, the twitter keys are considered "priority access" and the PCG keys have the same title. Therefore my assumption is that they are of equal priority.

Vets and any beta keys used on accounts are in the same priority pool as far as I know.

There are 100,000 PlanetSide 1 vets.
You don't need that many for beta.
The server is full at 6,000.
The set of PCG is probably smaller and there is money involved.
So my guess the priority is:
1) PCG
2) Twitter
3) PlanetSide 1 vets
Then again, maybe your chance of entering beta is needed / eligible = 6,000 / 100,000 = 6%.

From what i can tell there's just 2 "priority levels", i.e. priority beta access and regular beta access.
Everyone with a key now, regardless of where it's from (plus PS1 vets) has the "priority beta access" and will either be in when beta starts or randomly chosen from and let in in waves once it starts (not clear whether they just let everybody in as soon as it's on or they go with the random waves method).
Once beta's been going on for a while, they will start sending invites to other people that opted in via the PS2 site but did not have a key. These are the "regular beta access" folks that will be getting in later.
That's what I gathered so far based on available information anyway.

Ok, so:
1) PS1 vets / PC Gamer keys = Priority beta access
2) Twitter key / Event keys = Regular beta access
That what that looks like to me.... Neither of which have anything to do with Tech Test. As they've stated during Tech Test they are hand picking accounts based on hardware specs.

But this isn't answering my question, I was wondering if beta keys stack or overwrite eachother.
I'm guessing nobody knows? Maybe a dev can come in and clear this up?

I'm not convinced (I'm not saying the picture is faked).
As far as I know both people with PCG keys and Twitter keys have "priority beta access" written in their account.
In addition there was also a twitter post that said that they all have the same "priorty" access (all keys being issued now regardless of source).
I'll add it if i can find it.

All beta keys are equal. But some are more equal than others.

Nope, sorry stoof... No one knows that.... There's another thread asking the same questions already too... Can't remember which thread though... I'll link if I find it...

I have a question folks: Did you ever went to a doctor to check your brains? Because clearly, they dont work right.
It was said OVER A DOZEN TIMES NOW how this works.
Vets + PC Gamer keys first, Then Twitter/FB. There is no guessing here, no rumors or whatever, ITS A FACT!
Now, to the OP: Nobody knows what happens if you enter 2 different keys. Shoot a tweet to the devs, or ask in the actual beta thread. But dont expect you get an answer, your not the first with that question...
