Station Admin Registered: Sep 2001 posted 11-18-2002 04:16 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beta emails have *not* been sent. They won't be sent for a while yet. Just FYI. We'll post more info when it's available. Until we post, any reports you hear of receiving beta emails are fabrications. http://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/p...ML/000123.html ____ Altered this to be my Official PS Forum Dev/Mod response thread. I will start including links to the actual threads. If you see my name as the one to update this, then you know there is new info here, I will NOT post on this thread unless there is a change.

Station Admin Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-18-2002 04:31 PM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As SmokeJumperPS pointed out, unless you hear it from us, it is not legitimate. We will notify the community with updates on when acceptance letters are being circulated, so we can best avoid these hoax situations. With the closing of this thread, hopefully everyone will know that I'm the last word on this. Danny Han Community Relations Manager

Station Admin Registered: Sep 2001 posted 11-18-2002 04:18 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We're still discussing this, but we're leaning toward including only north american testers simply because Planetside is sensitive to lag/latency issues (because it's an FPS) and the gap from England to California is pretty extreme when testing on the beta servers. That would be the only reason though. We'll see. http://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/p...ML/000073.html

No decision has been made and I hear your points about latency. Thanks for the info. ************* The above two posts were in reguards to Europeans in the BETA.

********** Reguarding Drop ships **********************
SmokeJumperPS Station Admin Registered: Sep 2001 posted 11-18-2002 02:39 PM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The pods are big enough for a single soldier, however, we set things up so that it's easy to coordinate a squad to drop together. The drop zone selection interface shows all squad mate positions on the map, so you can easily see where to go if others have dropped before you. As for orbital stations...we've decided to remove those for now. They're still up our sleeves for later, but we're removing those due to a lack of entertaining things to do up in space at the moment. Instead, the Shuttle achieves near-orbit and drops the pods down without needing a stop at the Station. Basically, we are speeding up the return-to-planet cycle after boarding the Shuttle. Just FYI. The actual drop pod mechanics, special effects, etc. are all still in the game...you just don't have to run through a mostly-empty orbital station to get to them now.

******** REGUARDING LARGE SHIPS ****************
BlackbirdPS Station Admin Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-18-2002 04:15 PM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that would truly be a massive ship if you could walk around inside while it was being piloted! So don't get your hopes up for a Ten Forward lounge Danny

************ REGUARDING PRICING *************
BlackbirdPS Station Admin Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-18-2002 04:11 PM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Still no official word from us, but in reality it shouldn't be very different from current pricing models.

*** Question and Answer ***
SSimmerson Station Member Registered: Dec 2001 posted 11-18-2002 05:44 PM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is about Beta but will Legends EQ players have a better chance to get into the beta? Im mainly asking because on the Legends Server we players deal with alot of CS staff. I know this is a weird kinda question but from what i remember is i know Legends get into the EQ2 beta but does it also apply to PS? Cuz ive been following PS since i ever heard about it and that was like along time ago. Legend players are true dedicated players. We go the extra mile to get something done. Heck we pay 40 a month and im willing to pay anything for PS. IF there have been any posts about this. I havent seen them im sorry. But please give me a answer. I want PS to be a great game it has the potential to be new and oringnal which i love. BlackbirdPS Station Admin Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-18-2002 06:00 PM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This really should go in the PlanetSide Questions forum, but ... truthfully, we are really doing our best to make sure that -everyone- gets a fair shot at beta. But we thank you for your support of EQ Legends Danny http://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/p...ML/000142.html
