We do not need people on the forum making topics informing developers of NDA violations. All you are doing is brining attention to this and causing others to look this up. If you see anything PM Hamma and he will forward this to the proper people.

Yeah, this dude is the poster child for why there is going to need to be harsh TK penalties. I don't want to imagine a world full of clowns TKing "because they can" and not caring because it's a F2P game.

At the end of the day, I won't be blaming anyone but the devs if tk'ing is a big problem.

Would be funny if they banned him from the game entirely.

If anything, I think this video shows the game needs to set up a very good tutorial to help people acclimate to the game. This guy had no idea what he was doing.

All the same, I'm not really that concerned about his team killing, as it's pre-beta and lots of people are screwing around, and no real penalty system has been built in yet.

It's one guy who is new and excited. I don't think he deserves to be banned for this unless he is a repeat offender. I will admit that I'm a bit peeved that he got in before me though.

Sorry for the strong title but Physorac posted a video on youtube with planetside 2 beta. I just wanted to inform the Devs incase he does not have authorization to do so.

He does not seem to be an informed reviewer by any stretch of the imagination. He does not even know what kind of game it is. Also spending most of the time team killing is not helpful for the game.

Thanks, Hope he is banned if he is breaching NDA.

I bet you brought apples to the teacher every day?

Well he certainly didn't leave thumb tacks and other sharp, pointy objects on her chair at least.

...In past companies used to screen their testers. Betas aren't the same as they use to be.

I have checked out the video in question and he highlights something interesting.

This guy as we can see if compleatly new and does not know what to do. This is what a large ammount of people will be like when the game releases.

I wonder what the devs will do to ease a new player into the game.

Did he just spend 20m tking his own faction ... ?

Maybe he's going to help the devs fine tune the griefing system at least :P

He was rather clueless, alright. Quests? What quests? And NEGATIVE props for the repeated TKing.

Wow seriously they should have made people fill out a questionnaire on PS2 along with the system specs one.

OP, you just informed people on where to find material that violates the NDA. Great job!

I definitely agree that there needs to be some sort of tutorial to show new players what to do, maybe even a guided video of some sort that they can have access to. I think that tribes does something similar to this and it helps for all the visual learners or as I call them.. lazy :)

Lol I am a little tattle tell :) It is only to make the teachers think that I a good boy.

That's kinda disappointing. Seems like he thinks it's some sort of PvE oriented game from an FPS perspective.

As for the easing of new people into the game, that opening splash screen, right after character creation, attempted to explain how to pull a vehicle, open your map, set waypoints, and what bases to head towards to actually see some combat.

Personally, this sort of video is why, at least at the extremely early stages, such as the tech test, I think there should be a slightly more advanced screening process than just your specs. I understand the tech test is primarily to see how the game runs on a multitude of different systems, and while there's some minor benefit to the data collected just standing around in the faction warpgates, you miss out on a lot of the arguably more important data from the high stress combat portions.

Not necessarily that important in the grand scheme of things with closed beta approaching, but still...this guy seems much closer to being a waste of an invite than even mildly helpful.

Of course, I may be biased because of how worried I got after I saw him choose my faction...
