there shouldn't be, if SOE holds to their word, all vets are in today, it had to be expected that the accounts wouldn't be flagged all at the same time.

He's using firefox as well. And he believes it looks exactly the same as the main page after he clicks download

Hmm ok. Try using another browser? Other than that, I don't know what to suggest :/
andehh
2012-08-20, 04:28 AM
Make sure he is doing it without any plugins on (adblocker, nnscript etc) or Anti Virus software on. Some times they can block links or pictures that they deem suspicious.
Can he not try via a Windows PC, maybe via his phone? If all else fails, its Karma coming round to kick him for supporting Apple! :p
ReContraDog
2012-08-20, 04:28 AM
Nope, he just tried Safari as well, and it display the same thing. Maybe someone could say/not say the if you get redirected to a new page/ website or if it just redirects you back to the main page and the download appears as a pop up?
Hmm, I'll tell him to give it a try

I er...oh NDA. Er....er....oh...er..NDA. Bah!
Anyway, will suggest something that's been suggested before and is reasonable enough advice. Stay away from the official forums till you've logged, to you, what feels like a sufficient amount of time to form a well rounded opinion of what you've experienced.
Test it without reading what's being discussed on the official forums before you wade into 'em, perhaps, or not as you feel. :groovy:
Oh EDIT. Apart from, obviously, to find information on server availability on the official forums. Er...don't think that bit of rather obvious advice is shaking the NDA to its core. :p

I seem to remember Smed saying that we'd all be in today. If there are thousands of veteran subscriptions, it may take some time for them all to be flagged as active. I'd imagine they're probably staggering all the database changes they're having to make, rather than doing one giant update.

True, although we dont know exactly what activating any one account actually takes. There is most likely more to it we don't know.

Updating the data should only take a few seconds. The thing is that we got no idea how the databases look like in terms of redundancy, failover mechanics, dividing into game-based Server Database Clusters etc. We don't even know how many updates they would need as we dont know how many vets registered for beta are out there.

of course am not gonna type out my entire name/email/account names but if we can figure out witch accounts are being flaged may be done by alphabetical order or something.
so C D C N C.... N being the farthest seems unlikely that thats how its being done though. I think there messing with us.

Same.
However I did become a 'vet' just a week ago, it might have something to do with how old your subscription is, but I think I've read people with old accounts also aren't in.
So far no correlation has been found. It might just be random.

I think you might be able to get in..applying the Twitter Key to your account should make the beta account "Active" but under membership it will show "No PS2 membership". Subscribing to PS recently should make your PS 2 beta account "Inactive" but under membership should read "PlanetSide 2 Unlimited Play". Taken together you should be able to play..dunno.

Some people have suggested:
EU people are in before US today.
(From UK, I am not in)
The original start date of your subscription to PS1 matters.
(I bought the game on the week it was released)
Your last date of subscription to PS1 matters.
(I was subscribed earlier in 2012, and now)
The duration of time spent playing PS1 matters.
(I think I clocked 31 months over 8 or 9 years off and on since PS1 release, not huge but still a fair while)
The date you signed up to beta matters.
(Like most PS1 vets I signed up as soon as it was available)
God hates us all.
(Real possiblity)
- Hearing Higby say in one of this videos that he really wanted vets in the game, or the assurances that they would get some kind of priority is really not showing to be true.
- There's no measuring stick they have for the amount of people you'd managed to convince to subscribe to the original game, or for drumming up interest in Planetside 2, which I've done a fair amount of.
- I have a week off work starting today.
- I built my machine FOR Planetside.
- Only later was it revealed that you have to have an Nvidia card for the 'full graphical/performance experience' (my AMD GPU crushes most Nvidia cards with pure muscle, but if this proves to be accurate I will end up with a couple of 680s, gg Nvidia).
It's a combination of these things which make me considerably disappointed and disenchanted.
Possibilities I've not heard confirmed:
Perhaps having to upload your specs for the beta, they only allow people with Nvidia GPUs to get in as part of Nvidias involvement with the project.
Perhaps if you add a PC Gamer key on top of your account when you are a vet, it relegates your status to that group.
If you actively show interest in playing TR like the majority of the mainstream internets and they want to balance factions.
Hopefully some of the above clears up a few questions for others.
As for the complaining, I realise it's a beta, that vet invites are most likely in waves as I think was hinted at - but I'm 30 years old now and feel entitled to rant like an old man.
Let me in SOE, I'm not getting any younger!

While I've read the tweet from smedley a hundred times, they DID say that those who have active subs to PS1 are going to get invited eventually this wave right?
Anybody who ever subbed to the game is considered a "vet" for this wave right? Not saying I want in NAO, just wishing to be pat on the head and to be told "Yes, you're in, just wait for it."
I've registered on the site for beta (long before I subbed to Ps1), receive the same "You're already signed up!" Message and all that and have applied no key from any source to my SoE account. My PS1 sub reads ACTIVE and I'm still in my free month though the sub is scheduled for some time in September.
I filled out a pc spec questionnaire when I signed up for the beta.
Its almost 8 AM Here (Yeah I live in Cali...my luck right?) so I'm sure there is plenty of time for me to stop being nervous but that doesn't help! ;p

Thank you for signing up for the PlanetSide 2 Beta game testing. Beta testing is a very important part of each and every game launch. As with any Beta, the more participants the better, and with the size and scope of PlanetSide 2, this aspect will be even more important. Thank you for your offer to help us make PlanetSide 2 amazing.
When we are ready to begin allowing people into the PlanetSide 2 Beta, if you are selected by SOE to participate, an acceptance email will be sent to this email address, and you will be asked to read and accept a Beta Testing Agreement. If your email address changes, be sure to update your Station Account with your new address to ensure that you receive any future emails about the Beta testing.
Should you be selected and choose to participate in the Beta testing, everything associated with this game testing will be considered confidential information, and you may not discuss it with anyone except other players through the PlanetSide 2 Beta game testing forum only.

I can log in at SOE and have applied to the PS 2 beta. I had no subscription for PS1 in years, but I had some.
Under Gamepass I find different statuses Planetside: Pending, actual game pass plan 45 days (whatever that means). Everquest II: active (I never played this). Under Planetside 2: both inactive.

Those of you who are making it in, can you let the rest of us know when the emails was received?
Might give us some hope that they haven't finished sending out the emails.... :(

Yeah, he did. It was one of my accounts I gave to him years ago. I know I at least paid for a month. Though I don't think he did. The account is many years old.
Yes, it is a vet account. Either:
1. "Flagged" doesn't mean your account can access the beta and we'll get in at a staggered rate.
OR
2. Smedley tweeted (at least partially) false info and we'll get in at a staggered rate.
OR
3. Something went wrong and the team is (hopefully) trying to figure out why some of us aren't getting into the beta at this time.

Never got an email, I just hit up the DL link directly...
been checking my inbox since 6:00 am, nothing yet.
i have an active PS 1 account, but im still in my 30 day free play period (yea i bought it to get it to beta, sue me)
my ps2 status says active as i have a PCGamer key.
and it has been confirmed by smed that it goes on your vet status rather that your key.
so i wonder if i'll be in

just gonna post smeds tweets about today as much as i can find
17 Aug John Smedley John Smedley @j_smedley
I do not have a specific date yet for the priority keys. best GUESS would be 1-2 weeks before we start letting priority keys in.
17 Aug John Smedley John Smedley @j_smedley
note - this is NOT the priority keys from PC Gamer or from twitter. those are in the wave following the PS1 vets and before regular beta
17 Aug John Smedley John Smedley @j_smedley
to be very, very, very, extra clear - a "Vet" is someone who EVER subscribed to Planetside 1. doesn't matter how long ago or how briefly.
17 Aug John Smedley John Smedley @j_smedley
good version up for beta now. PS1 vets - for sure in Monday! make SURE you are registered for the beta or you aren't in.
12 Aug John Smedley John Smedley @j_smedley
no more "when am I getting in questions" till after the 20th please. I've been very blunt and you can go re-read my twitter stream.

@sandmankim no. just registered for the beta.
12 Aug John Smedley John Smedley @j_smedley
@sandmankim seriously just go to http://www.planetside2.com and register for the beta.
Gona re quote this since it was done so well.
hmm i wonder if the people who are able to download could perhaps tell us what web browser they are using.
im using firefox but i seem to remember not being able to complete the spec survey unless i used IE, would be annoying if something like that was stopping me from downloading.

Well, I figured out what my problem was - apparently I had an older Station account when I played PS1, and I never signed up with that one. I just did now, but unlikely I'll get in this wave. :(
Guess I'm screwed until general beta.

Amusingly using IE, clearing cache, turning it off and on again, formatting the hard drive and divorcing the wife have had no positive or negative effect with regards to this download yet.

"I do see that your account does have Veteran Status for PlanetSide 1. I will need to escalate this ticket to our management team to see what is going on with your account. They will contact you through email once they have looked over your ticket and your account."
So, im a Vet that cant get in (yet).

Same here. I was a PS1 subscriber years ago but forgot account info and don't even have that email address anymore so I bought the PCGamer for the key.
Then after that, I bought an All Access pass to get into the Planetside 2 Beta once I found out PCGamer keys would have to wait a week or two after the vets.
I think it's probably seeing that my PCGamer key is registered to the account rather than the vet status. I hope not. Looking forward to this game forever.

Actually. Im just checking to see if im considered a vet. So i know if i should spend my one day off (work the next 8) waiting. If i need to wait i will gladly do so, but if im not getting in today i have things i would rather be doing. :)
Wait 20 minutes for chat or wait all day for something that may or may not happen. When you work two jobs, one full time one part time you tend to not want to waste your days off. :) I don't consider myself to be jumping the gun, being irrational or being rude. I am being very polite to support. I just don't like uncertainty.

Smedley said all vet accounts were flagged, does this mean they should say "active" because mine still says inactive, no ability to download etc yet.
PlanetSide 2 It means that they have been noted, Paul. Hang tight, your time to play is nearly here! ^TinyQueen

When you're from Europe (that's middle european time) do not expect to be able to launch the game today - the download servers are not the final ones yet and will probably be at their maximum capacity very soon. It might take a while to finish the download. I also hope it does not turn out that way, but the past has shown otherwise on every single occasion. :evil:

PS1 Vet with PC Gamer Beta Key. On my Games Account Page:
PlanetSide 2 Account : ACTIVE
No PlanetSide 2 Membership
But I do have access to the free PS1 time they gave to vets.
No e-mail, and going to the download link just gives me the "You're already signed up for beta!" message. /sadpanda
