It worked! Thanks so much! Haha, spent 60 seconds in the Sanc. Can't wait for Monday!

That is their plan, LegioX.

Everything's such a confusing mess at this point though.

How in the world is this confusing?

@CDLHamma seriously the parsing is amazing. It's simple - active subs > anytime subbed > priority keys > normal signups

Hope this thing works =] so far this ps2 beta cost me 25$
They should have just sold the damn access from the start. Could have made nice profit.

That's the only clear cut part. What the **** does "if you bought it" from his more recent tweets pertain to exactly?

Good luck answering that one factually.

Reddit post:
"Vets are already in on the next wave. Day 1 access is for ANYONE currently subbed to PS1, according to what we've been told."

Smedley's reply:
"correct. What's going to happen is our Platform team will automatically enable anyone subbed to the game at 8am PST on Monday. What does subbed mean? In this case it means actually currently subscribed to Planetside."

That means they will just make a big list of anyone who is subbed (can actually login and play PS1) and give them access.

Thats pretty clear to me. I think folks will always (by nature) interpet things differently influenced by doubt, fears, and joys. So each their own :)

@DnaK210 you need to be an active sub. if you bought it you'll be in in the 2nd batch which won't be long.

https://twitter.com/j_smedley/status/232002820872749056

You would think it'd be pretty clear. You would think when he says "bought" he is referring to a new account. I think that is what he means, there are others that thought otherwise.

No guarantees either way. Seems like half his tweets are unintentionally vague.

Bought it means you have the game but no active subscription (meaning you cannot currently login and play PS1).

From what i understand, if your active; ie paying a monthly sub, then you don't have to install game. To them, you're an "active" player/payer and will get in tomorrow. Hope it helps.

The PS1 client is smallish (~1.6GB IIRC) so you can give it a try if you don't have a monthly bandwidth limit.

so wait....what do you need an active subscription for? Vets get in first....is it now vets that are subscribed then vets who aren't? And what about all those in the current tech test? Is this going to shuffle them back into masses? Or do they continue on along with the first round vets?

Not really understanding any of this other then "subscribe to a game so you can spend the time not playing that game"

Tech test people get in automatically. Current subscribers get in with them on day 1 and old PS1 players who aren't currently subscribed get in after that.

Been playing Vanu in PS 1, but man im getting owned. I have died about 30 times to about 3-4 kills. Sucks!!! LOL

Anyways, i don't know what faction i will be playing in PS 2. I'm a flyboy at heart and love the look of the Scythe. Going towards that, but will try out all factions to make a concrete decision before game hits. :)

Heh. I resubbed in March and have been playing PS1 since then. I was looking at PS2 stuff and decided to play PS1 again because I got excited about playing again and had a really good time the last 5 months. Getting into PS2 beta was just a bonus.

If people want to spend cash and buy into beta I have no problem with that.SOE probably needs the cash pretty bad with all the development going into PS2 and they still wont be getting a return on thier investment until they can open the PS2 cash shops.

You know, I've gotta say, even if I don't get in on the first wave (not sure why I wouldn't, but just in case I don't), I'm having fun playing Planetside 1.

Although, from all the talk of 'tactics' that'd been going around on this board I kinda expected something different. Been playing Vanu and it seems like 'tactics' means, "Zerg into a room with as many people as possible; don't worry if you die a lot or block other peoples' lines of fire. After wave after wave of your team manages to kill everyone, crouch behind some boxes in the basement and aim at doors in 'strategic' places to look like you're doing something important." :p

I think there is only so much you can do with the layout of the bases/facility's , the bases and facility's in PS2 will each have a different layout and be much larger with more room :)

Well, more of what I've noticed isn't with the layout (although PS1 does seem to be less open than what we've seen of PS2; PS1 is like "Hallways and Stairs: The Game,") but with people just pushing their way in without doing things like trying to clear with grenades, or open doors and fire in. Usually that means one or two enemies at the top of a staircase, or inside the door, can just cut people down and people outside can't fire in, because they risk grief points.

I've resigned to mostly standing outside with a BANK and repairing people. :)

Pretty much. There's a reason I always scoff at those bawling about how PS2 has lost it's strategic and tactical depth because of whatever mechanic they're upset with, when really, PS1 always ended up turning into a spam fest in the only place combat actually mattered: the base, and it gets even worse inside the base.

Fortunately, the hex grid and fairly open layouts should help maintain some level of decision making beyond, "do I rush in, or do I hang back?"

I remember ww2ol having the same problem. Always turned into a "zerg quick" to base walls and camp until we can cap it. Hopefully the Devs will put in more outpost around bases to defend, so it will not be a mad rush to the main base.

I've seen the graphics of it on a view streams/vods and to be honest it does look a little bit dated. I only ever play games with dated graphics for nostalgic reasons, which unfortunately are non-existant for me with regards to Planetside. I might dabble into it, but probably not. :p

Just an fyi, I took the hardware survey quite a while before I ever got an email to take it. Sometimes the emails go out slower than the actual features get activated.

You know when you get older and Christmas no longer has the same excitement like it used to when you were like 10?

I kind of have that excited feeling... kinda...

It's Christmas in Jul- I mean August!

Santa Clause is real, and he recently got his hair shaved. All hail Higby, and his team of awesomeness!

Hey, if beta proper begins today, I guess this means I've gotta finally work on getting a new sigpic. Shit. I guess I can work on it during hours of the day where I'm not engaged in things which I'm not at liberty to discuss.

It's worth attempting to download the client right now, even without the e-mail. If you get the "download now" button, obviously click it, and treat PS2 like the Fight Club from that point on. NDA's should be followed like a Terran soldier is holding a repeater to your head.

You are pretty giggity right now. Sadly I am work until 4 but beta doesn't start until 2pm so it's all gravy.

You will get to play...

Wait for it...

Sooon.

I don't even feel it needs a trademark this time. It's that fucking close!

You know, I've gotta say, even if I don't get in on the first wave (not sure why I wouldn't, but just in case I don't), I'm having fun playing Planetside 1.

Although, from all the talk of 'tactics' that'd been going around on this board I kinda expected something different. Been playing Vanu and it seems like 'tactics' means, "Zerg into a room with as many people as possible; don't worry if you die a lot or block other peoples' lines of fire. After wave after wave of your team manages to kill everyone, crouch behind some boxes in the basement and aim at doors in 'strategic' places to look like you're doing something important." :p

You are playing the current version. Not the original version, Damage has already been done with all the session based additions and thinking.

You are seeing the outcome, not the original.

You happen to be Terran. I'll envision you as my persecutor, to help keep me honest :)

Not that I necessarily have to be kept honest about anything, naturally.

Just an update: I didn't re-subscribe my PS1 account, but I am a PS1 vet and entered a PC Gamer key. Going to the " planetside2.com/download " link shows the "Download" button, but when I click it, it just says "This Account is Already Signed Up for Beta! No need to sign up again!"

Not griping or anything, just giving a status for somebody who didn't re-sub.

Oh, don't get me wrong Astrok. I'm quite fine with waiting. I was just letting everybody know that people who didn't re-sub or already had active subs didn't get in this round, as expected.

Anyway, I should get in on the 2nd round. :D

Does anyone know if I have an active sub and a priority key, should I take the key off?

Panche, people been getting that same thing since Tech Test started. It's not new. It just means your account is not flagged to get in yet.

If you did not have an active subscription then yes.
