View Full Version : Do you still plan on posting here after getting into Beta?

Beta's almost here, and during the next few weeks, a lot of us will be getting in.
Which means an NDA and a switch to the Beta Forums for all Beta discussions.
As much complaining as I hear about our community, I think the Beta forum community will be a definite downgrade and I'm definitely going to miss hearing the opinions of most, if not all of you.
So questions are,
Do you plan to keep in touch on these forums even with the NDA?
How much do you plan on interacting with the official Beta forums?
And do you think you'll be back as soon as NDA drops?

In all seriousness, Tech Test has only increased the activity here. Lots of folks on these forums are already in tech test and posting here.

I would hope you'd all be on the official beta forums spamming topics begging for sanctuaries, and keeping the bad parts of 'modern shooters' out of this game.
Not just technical changes, and bug fixes occur during beta. Design overhauls can occur too, if there's enough demand for them.

Nope. I have an unfriendly online attitude and a desire to do more then surf 300 forums. I'll stick to beta discussions and actually work to help balance the game and squash bugs.
Helps to actually participate in subjects that have some kind of meaning other then mindless arguments.

I'll be sticking to the main forums, battling back and forth with rampant stupidity and those grasping for the return of flawed or moot concepts from days of old. I've always preferred official forums to third-party forums, mostly because I've felt if there's any place the developers will be paying attention, it's there.

I think PSU is a little more closer to the development than the average third party forum.
You can see that many of the devs do use this place.

Oh, you're just being biased :p
It's one thing when MOST of the community is on a fansite simply because an official PS2 forum isn't open to the public (Guild Wars 2 doesn't even have an official forum, what choice is there?) It's a little different once the official forums of a game become open, but that's also entirely dependent on where a bulk of the forum base spends their time screaming at each other.
Honestly, I expect once those forums go public, most new users to Planetside will be going to the official forums for their information/complaints/trolling/drunken rants/soft-core porn postings at 2 a.m. in the morning just see if the mods are awake and paying attention.

The thing is, official forums, much like the PS1 forums (shudder) are very loosely moderated and generally full of the dregs of the community.
At least in places like this they can be a little more intimately moderated.

I'll probably lurk here for a while and gradually transfer over, and then in time, be on no forums. Pre-release and server down time are the only time most forums interest me at all.
Serotriptomine
2012-08-04, 11:32 PM
Probably won't for the day to day. I usually just check this to see if there's any news. If I have problems or the servers are down and I'm waiting for word when they will be back up, sure.

Can't say I'm surprised.
Honestly the opening of the official forums will make it so the majority of new folks and attention whores will go there and PSU will be more used by seasoned involved community members just like its always been.
Not to worried about it :)

Even though I'm pretty new to this community, this is where I will go for all of my PS2 ranting needs. I will of course post on the official beta forums while the game is in beta, but I will still be here posting away. This forum has a great community with lots of intelligent posters.

There is an inherent awkwardness in trying to post on a public forum when you are restricted by an NDA.

I am really looking forward to this. SOE forums can be really awful at times, regardless of how great a job the mods are doing. So much useless hate people have... Anyhow, I'll reply to dev threads where appropriate, but that's all the forumside2 that I am interested in.
The PSU core community is solid and enjoyable. Why leave that?

This is my home. I spend more time on this site than any other site. I have PSU on my fav lists on every computer that I use at work. I feel like this site is where the real discussion happens.
There is still tons of stuff to be able to discuss here even while under the NDA and I hope to see a huge PSU presence on the beta forums while the NDA is in place as well. I generally dislike official forums but I really think that all the PSU vets need to make themselves heard there to hopfully influence the gameplay for the better.
At the same time, there will always be great stuff to discuss here that wouldn't violate the NDA and the devs still hang out here too.

But when the time is right it should be business as usual.
Piper
2012-08-05, 05:54 AM
It's a good question. I intend to respect the NDA. Once in Beta anyone is then posting from a position of experience rather than speculation fueled by whatever information can be gleaned from other sources.
That said, depending on what is actually in the NDA when we read it, should one be careful with ones language and continue to post as if we're just speculating what the game will be like at launch....
....hmm, will see. But can still post about other stuff, in the off topic boards as well. :p

Official forums tend to degenerate into flame wars, useless squabbling and whining.
People go onto official forums when they're angry about something, to post how indignant they are at how X other faction is OP and how their Y faction is underpowered, because they think the game developers will see their post, experience a moment of enlightenment, and rush out a patch to buff Y and nerf X.
Fan forums seem to tend to be populated by people more interested in the game itself, not just their own motives within that game.
Hamma
2012-08-05, 01:38 PM

Humbug! :p
But I know where you're coming from. Nothing seems to raise the blood pressure in some folks like their empire weapon being 0.0001 of second slower to kill someone at the exact same range than another empires.
When the NDA gets lifted, uuuurgh. I was never a balance nutter in PS1. Difference will always have imbalance, just got to accept it and get on and enjoy gaming.
However, I expect we've all got visions about how we'd like PS2 to be. Weapon balance or otherwise, best thing to do about that is be open and admit that we're all coming at it from a position of bias. Perhaps a way to find the compromises when the time comes. :)

The issue is that until the NDA expires we can't discuss beta on PSU.
As with any development process, be it gaming or otherwise, respect is the key. Respect other ideas and other posters and in the plainest, least judgemental way possible try to raise not only the problems as you see them, but crucially the solutions you feel would be appropriate.
I would advise everyone to log at least 10 hours playtime before you make any constructive posts however.

If there are multiple named servers like in PS1 and most MMO's I'm hoping for official server forums but that's about it. From my experience, General Discussion is to be avoided unless you feel like getting angry, while Server forums we're generally better off because communities form and you actually have a reputation to think of.

I will likely only use the Official forums while the NDA is in effect, and only to discuss gameplay/balance/ideas.
If I want to have an actual conversation with people, PSU or my outfit's forum are the places i'll be going.
You haven't seen that PS1 official forum man... it's a dangerous world out there. Makes you appreciate the effort Basti... errr I mean Hamma puts into moderating this place. :D
JoeDragon
2012-08-06, 05:09 AM
I hate to say it about SOE because they are doing an awesome job this go-around but I would MUCH rather SOE give hamma some kind of contract and let him host a private section on his website for beta communications. I fucking HATE SOE's forum layout with a burning passion.
But I suppose that's just a tiny pipe dream and I'll have to use the hmtl1 looking SOE forums :(
Why would you wanna do that to Hamma? Remember, any official forum is going to be overrun by Nerdragers and trolls. I doubt Hamma wants to spend Beta moderating a forum 24/7.
Kran De Loy
2012-08-06, 05:51 AM
The official forum will, as all official forums have and must, be full of people that can not tell their own ass from their nose.
This is a physical law of nature akin to gravity.
So yes. Yes I will be posting here still after getting into Betas.
Xyntech
2012-08-06, 07:34 AM
I may not post much here while the NDA is in effect, but that will be due to spending as much time as possible playing the game. But I'll still post here, as it's the best large scale Planetside community center. Tech test isn't 24/7 for the time being :D
Smed said that they want to lift the NDA as soon as possible though, so I tend to think any lull here will be relatively short, assuming he wasn't having one of his Smedley moments when he said that ;)
Kipper
2012-08-06, 09:52 AM
I'm only interested in the official forums for writing about bugs and supporting feature inclusion/removal during NDA / Beta time.
I've not posted much here recently because there's so many topics and not a single one can be anything other than speculation, most of what can be speculated on has been ... so there's nothing to say until we get our hands on the game; and for a while - we won't be able to say it here.
When it comes to looking for information about a game not under NDA, the highest quality of information tends to come from 3rd party sites/forums, very rarely from official ones in my experience.
That said, I hope most people will be doing their talking on Auraxis :)
NewSith
2012-08-06, 09:57 AM
Hamma, you should try asking SOE staff to lift up NDA for open discussion of balance issues, current bugs and stuff, while keeping the NDA on the actual footage and screenshots.
Because just as people said here, Tech Test forums are a mess, I would very much like to discuss the issues in the cradle of constructiverness, named PSU, rather than having to listen how "PS2 should not be BF3".
Here's to give you an idea of what it is (I don't think it breaks NDA in any way, there's nothing about the game balance, and forum design is not a subject of NDA):

this is the goto place for planetside for a decade..
Will i post over there? Sure. Will PSU remain, like it has been, one of my homepages, you better believe it will. I think of here like a Union vs Management kinda thing. The official planetside forums I'm sure will be pretty, and whatever, but here is totally independent and fan run, and there's something to be said for that. And it's why i support it with my posts, my money, and my pimping it to everyone i see to log in and learn about planetside.

Everything on the testing forum is almost certainly under the NDA.

Concerning the screenshot I won't quote. Isn't that exactly what Beta is all about anyway?
Getting to the bowl of porridge that is just right?*
*For any given value of "right".

There's a difference in finding what's right and banging against the wall. I mean it's really easy to imagine what's going on there without even looking into these threads...

Indeed, gamers will be gamers. But game developers are old hands at sorting the wheat from the chaff in terms of feedback? Maybe it doesn't present a good image of us as a community but er....
...it's going to happen in beta and it's sure as hell is going to happen after launch.
Difference in game mechanics per side=imbalance. It is unavoidable, at some point got to let it go and crack on.
It would be silly to stop posting this is a great forum :)

Don't they decide final balance by looking at what kills what and how often in the data?
That's what I'd do.

Depends what they're aiming for. Forgive this but I'm going to have a little mini-ode to the PS1 Radiator.
As a weapon it got next to no kills, plenty of assists I guess, but as tool it was hugely fun/useful. By your criteria it would hugely underpowered, but in the right hands (seldom few were used because it got next to no kills) it had game value.
Trouble is, we don't know if they want weapons like that in game. Will see. (should macro that last bit :p)

I'll post here less frequently, since your only suppose to discuss beta on the beta forums.
Cheers,

What we really need is some new stuff to talk about. Pics and vids from Amerish and Esamir, ES HA weapons, post launch plans for content and then the big one - the new SOON...
Now that SOON has come and gone, it's time to start looking forward to open beta and then LAUNCH.:groovy:
Here's to the new SOON my friends:cheers:

Why is there a NDA on beta stuff? What can they do really? This is an independant forum.

I've made myself quite home here, hell, even the devs are prolly more here than over at their official forums :)
Too many awesome people here and as said previously, PSU will be the haven for quality, not quantity (no offense to the official forums though)
I'll prolly venture over from time to time when I'm feeling like taking the long walk to bring the law to the lawless, just don't close the gate behind me, won't be gone for long.
EDIT: Oh and yeah, during beta I'll be on the officials to discuss beta stuff and such offcourse, can't really do that here now can we :)

It'll be tough reading all the wild speculation threads when you know what the real truth is :cool:
This becomes an excellent IQ test to see who in Beta leaks what.
And there will be much :rofl:

It'll be difficult. I'm the kind of person who finds it difficult to not blab to somebody what I bought them for Christmas, and I *know* I'll suffer the overwhelming urge to start dropping broad hints when I see complaints or suggestions on this forum.... so I'll likely confine myself to the beta forums. All the other vets will be there anyway.
