About 30 minutes and in my country, but soon everywhere else, Today is the Day for the third time.

Enjoy here you last thoughts, while you wash your brains staring at youtube streams and twitter, meanwhile spamming f5 on your mail browser.

For the Third time Today is the Day.

Iek.

PS: (Third means Soon)

-we left plenty of bugs for players to report. We thought that was only fair
-We are go for beta at 2pm. Flagging has started. This is for current PS1 subscribers and All Access members. PS1 vets later.

If it gets delayed a 3rd time for whatever reason I'll request Hamma to perma-ban this topic. That should prevent #4 from ruining it for everyone again.

Honestly not trying to bring down the mood BUT, am I the only one who believes that with all the recent people buying/subscribing to the game to get in on day 1 are going to cause SOE to break the invites up over a few days/weeks?

If current subscribers was 500-1000 thats completely do-able but I've seen nothing but people posting about how they bought/resub'd these last few days following smeds statement.

Lets just say the # doubled and there are now 2000 current sub's (This number could be even higher I have no clue). Do you believe SOE will invite all of them on day 1?

Discuss.

EDIT: this is still based on the fact i'm assuming there is still only 1 US and 1 EU testing servers. (6000 people max)

Wouldn't bother me a bit. If beta needs to be delayed for a specific reason, then it just has to be delayed. I'll resub again if it gdoes get delayed..

If they delay it a week nothing has changed for these people. They still get day 1 access.

Soe would only be cheating people if they delayed it a full month.

selmu
2012-08-05, 07:22 PM

No news, words or client, proably another delay or a very shitty beta with very small number of players.

Happen to have access to PS1's player database do you Minigun?

IMO I doubt that the number of people paying and not playing is larger than the number of people paying and playing this weekend. So double the amount of peak users this weekend and you have a ballpark number of people subbed to PS1 currently.

Minigun
2012-08-05, 07:29 PM

I do not unfortunately. It's just something that's been hanging in the back of my mind.

In all honesty you could be absolutely right. I was just curious about how each of you felt on the subject.

I would imagine there will be more servers, because they'll be wanting to test hardware they'll be using at launch?

Moreover, even if there are 2000 people due to be let in based purely on the active subs (I suspect it'll be much higher than that) apart from an initial big attempt to log in, not everyone will be online 24/7?

To fill a 6k server, which I imagine they want to try and do to really stress test it, they'll need a lot of potential people. Some folks might be getting an email but have no interest in beta testing as well.

All kinds of things. However, I don't see them staggering the initial wave, I suspect they have capacity and then some to fit us all in.

This post is unusually optimistic for me, wondering if I'm coming down with something. :(

The subscription cut-off is in about 15.5 hours.

Beta starts 6 hours after that.

The wait is about 21.5 hours.

Keep busy or go crazy.

Beta Key isn't instant access. If you aren't a current or former PS1 subscriber, or used a Key from PCgamer magazine it will probably be at least a week before you get in.

Edit: From Smedley AMA
Q: How long do you think it will take (if everything goes as planned) for everyone who has twitter/PC gamer keys to get in the beta?
A maybe as long as 2-3 weeks but it depends on how smoothly things go

Well everyone that doesn't get in will think it will be a beta server that is up 24/7 and that all of those who did get in are just having a great time.

Then I'll continue my rants stating "it's beta, not a demo" and the such... probably with more anger as I keep repeating myself. But yeah!

I hope everyone on PSU gets in. But that's just unrealistic. Those who do get in will MAYBE get a few hours of gameplay more than those who haven't gotten in yet.. and that time will be spent listening to devs and sorting out potential or known bugs.

True, I seen a tweet saying server times were like 2pm10pm mon through fri and 9am-10pm saturday.

As for the part about listening to the devs...That will be really hard for me being that i'm ADD, the whole time they are talking I'll be wanting to jump the flash over some shit or something lol

i had that problem when i had the early shift, you can do this a few days of the week : go to bed even earlyer and get up a couple hours sooner and get an hour or 2 in before work :)

On edge of seat. Been keeping busy today not thinking about it much. Thanks for fun on PS earlier Duke!

As Hamma said, no invites tomorrow then /RAGEON! :lol: Oh wait, Hamma said not to. Oh well, prob will happen anyways :P

You are probably thinking of a different session, but I saw you around defending Ran on Esamir a few days back :D Duke even hailed me when he saw me :D

It's so great when people you know from PSU sorta "come to life" when u run into them in-game :D

Same here :( By the time I get the game downloaded and installed I'll only have enough time to create a character and maybe play for a few minutes. (Assuming server stability) Because I need to be in bed by 8pm EST since I work the early shift.

But at least I have wednsday off.

It's called crunch time in the industry. It's when you got a bunch of weird-looking all running around like headless chickens in an office, none of which slept for the last day or three, but still you're getting 8 days of work done in 20 manhours every day. Everybody is super-focused, no normal conversations are taking place - what you'd hear sounds like moonspeak but is in essence the purest possible distillation of industry, tech and project terms. Everybody looks kind of absent, even when taking to each other maintain no eye contact, staring into the distance or into computer screens/whiteboards/notes, all minds being in the flow and fixated solely on the project. The office may or may not have a smell of red bull, nootropics or medical-grade amphetamine sulfate.

Also of note is that during this period the combination of extreme focus on the project, sleep deprivation and stuff that prevents you from falling unconscious on your desk makes people say truly bizarre things. Nobody pays any attention at the time but after you've handed the project over and are recouperating, at some random point downing a beer on your hammock you'll recall what you heard in the office and do a flat WTF.

I'll just go with whatever is needed instead of pigeonholing myself into something specific. Naturally I'll probably have something I'll end up preferring over others, but we'll see.

As for preloading client.. I got a 1mbit net, but luckily I have most of the client on my computer due to a friend coming by over a weekend and playing the test on my computer.. So it will only take me maybe a few gigabytes at max depending how much new thing is implemented before I get to play.

According to the Wiki here the Spitfire turret (automated one in PS1) makes a return, haven't seen any being used in the videos thus far though.

My interest levels in the classes go er...

Engie.
Infil. (non sniper variant)
CM. Tied with Infil' really.
LA.
MAX.
HA.

The later two really not enthusing me much so far at least on paper. If there were a pilot class and more dedicated driving/piloting vehicles without gun slots that might be fairly high up the list, but there isn't so er.....

The first day always sucks, its a law of nature. Look at blizzard with d3.

Just make sure you arnt found by the local authorities in a basement playing PS2 :D

Found that man reported missing,
He wandered in his home.
It don't seem to bad if you consider
Just what he's been through.

Seems he met up with a gang of thieves,
Who mistook him for a man of means,
They locked him up then found he had no money,
So they let him go again.
Now he's back at home and happy
Just to see the kids.

I wish that I could really tell you
All the things that happened to me
And all that I have seen.
A world full of people their hearts full of joy,
Cities of light with no fear of war,
And thousands of creatures with happier lives,
And dreams of a future with meaning and no need to hide.

Oh, keep it dark.

FYI unless you subbed you aren't getting in tonight, or tomorrow.
We were told that the people with keys would get in anywhere from 2-4 weeks from today.

Could take longer. Sure, I hope to get in, but I doubt it will be soon.

if you say there is a delay now... well thats just mean :P

no delay.

When is the client going to be available for download? I'm so psyched you have no idea. Well, maybe you do. You're getting paid.

not sure yet. It honestly could be as late as 2pm. Not ideal but the guys are working even now.

Yesterday a mate of me told me something that made me a bit jealous :cry:

He never played PS1 - He got a Beta-Key from Twitter.
His Planetside2 Account is Active since yesterday.

I was Closed-Beta PS1 player and played PS1 for years. Last time i subscribed PS1 for 3 Single Months was in Spring this year.
My Planstside2 Account is flagged inactive.

That really sucks. :mad:

Should I fill it out again or is everyone getting that?

I am a 2003 vet, and while I only just resubscribed last week (after not having subscribed in years), everything looks good on my end.

Vets should be fine. Hopefully it's just a flagging delay that wont last long.

They may just be flagging them starting with the most recent. So older members will get the invite later, but will still get it.

PS1 Vet from beta, only stopped on 4/6/11. No E-mail, no invite, no active sub.

They stated that active subs will come before inactive vets many times. Once invites for active subscribed players are done, vets will come next. Should be very shortly after active subs is done. hang tight.

I'm a 'vet' and by vet, I mean someone who bought PS1 last night and subbed up. I genuinely feel sorry for the actual veterans who can't download, it shouldn't be like that but I'm going to take advantage of it I guess.
