Alphasquad now gives +50%

[Ghoest9]

Nice move on SOEs part since we were not able to use the aplha squad implant along with a 50% one.

yes and now we have to lobby support for our Alpha Squad back again as we replaced it with the 50% XP boost a while back :)

(also it's not just 50% XP boost with Alpha, it's +50% XP AND RESOURCE boost)

(that's huge)

Makes me feel a better about not playing during the holiday double xp, as well as rerolling. Thanks SOE dudes.

[Assist]

Wishing I didn't buy those exp boosts when they were on sale :P

[MaxDamage]

This isssss
aaaaaawwwweeesssssssooommeeeee

[DeceptiveAlarm]

About time. I felt handicapped for buying the thing.

[HiroshiChugi]

And we still have yet to see any kind of bonus to the beta testers. Only a friggin decal -__-"

[SternLX]

Left my Alpha Squad Boost in on my Main this whole time. This makes me soooo friggen happy. Actually I bought 5 50% Boosts when they were on sale. That stack is just sitting there waiting for the Alpha Squad boost to expire.

With Premium and Alpha Squad boost in I default to a minimum of 85% right now. Playing earlier on Amerish with a Pub Squad I was seeing 120 to 125% Exp Boost the whole time. :)

[SixShooter]

That's pretty damn cool. It will be nice to get it back and save all the boosts I bought for further down the road.
:cheers:

[MyOdessa]

I have to say - Thank you, SOE.

[QuantumMechanic]

I wasn't expecting this, it's a nice surprise. By the way if you lost your Alpha Squad boost, then submit a support ticket for it. I did that, and got mine back in like 2 days.

You already got the privilege of playing in Beta.

Yes but we should have morthan just a little decal that says, "Hey look! I played in Beta and all I got was this lousy decal!" we should get at the least an exsclusive camo pattern that we can use infinitely or maybe even a certain weapon? I'd be happy with the decal and camo. It no weapon,that's fine. I'm just asking for something more than just a little decal that hardly anyone pays attention to :/ after all, I've seen where in other games, beta testers get bonus things that no one else can get. For instance, World of Tanks beta testers got an exclusive tank that no one else could get. Maybe in Planetside 2 we can get an exclusive camo pattern? :/

[Sifer2]

Seems like it would be way too late for most people. Though I kind of lucked out I guess as I lost mine due to that preview bug the first week an got a replacement from a CS guy. And have kept it in inventory all this time just as a souvenir since it was so useless lol.

[Sonny]

Yeah this was a nice surprise when I logged in!

Why? Unless WoT beta testers had to pay for something exclusive then the two situations aren't at all comparable.

What you're suggesting wouldn't be fair for those who paid money for the exclusive items that you're suggesting other beta testers should get for free. Even if it's different camo or whatever, it still wouldn't be right for those who paid for alpha. At any rate, it's only camo not worth worrying over.

[Dougnifico]

Here's a thought. Make more money by selling those boosts. It would cost $130 to keep buying the one week boosters. Sell the six month ones for like $50-$60. The people who but them are basically buying the game again every six months, plus possible $15 a month on a sub, plus more on station cash.

[Timey]

That's amazing value if you think how expensive 7d boosters are.. grats to anyone who has alpha! I feel sad for not buying it now :(

I personally just enjoyed being in beta.
I really dont see why beta players need an actual bonus.

I got an golden pistol, but I don't know if I got that because I played in the tech test/beta, or for some kind of other reason...

Anyway really happy with this of course :) I get minimum +100% XP right now, not counting empire bonuses.

[Sturmhardt]

Good news because I really felt fucked over by SOE because they made the 10% boost an implant that has to be overwritten if you want to use another one. I guess the 50% will make it up to me again.

[Mastachief]

Fantastic move

[Shamrock]

Extremely happy with this change even though id bought a few boots i was waiting for Alpha to expire before using them.

[Hamma]

Beta testers don't need anything more than they already got.

[HiroshiChugi]

Well I know a lot of people feel this way but I'm just saying,add a special camo for us? Or weapon skin? Hell,even special armor.but only one of these things,not all of them.wouldmbe nice :P and as always, the alpha team will get it as well

[Hamma]

Got the decal :)

[HiroshiChugi]

I know but it's only significant on aircraft really,because that's the only time when people actually see them

[Sledgecrushr]

Yeah I had that alpha boost just sitting there and I never was going to use it since 10% is kind of worthless, Six months with 50% xp AND resources is going to make me spoiled.

[Twasta]

This was a nice move, indeed. :)

Those tanks were a pre-order deal.... the decent ones cost you 90$+ so yeah... we got that its called Alpha Squad came with a unique camo and an AWESOME implant :D
