I started my attempt to listen to the audio.... not gonna happen, I'll read thank you. The opening "Music" drove me insane after 10 seconds of the singing

Nothing we really haven't heard before.

"Pside 2 wil b comin out but idk when xDDD"

Basic impression I'm getting from the devs in regards to the beta. Even an estimate, it could be completely made up and not at all accurate, I still think that would appease most of the community.

I would be happy with that, you would be happy with that. However, you know damn well that everyone else will scream from the rooftops about how they've lied to us and it's vapourware, etc. There is no point them giving us a date if they don't think they can make it.

There was quite a lot of people mad at SOE for cluing everyone into thinking something was happening with PS2 around March. Be it a release or closed beta. SOE is just better off saying nothing in my opinion due to that. The whens its ready is really the best way to do development for games.

TL/DR: On Planetside Beta.. it’ll be up sooner than people think, but I cant give a date yet.. we’re hard at work on it right now

Yeah, I wouldn't say anything about it being playable until people will be playing it in a week. If you even make an announcement before sending beta/alpha emails out.

But in the meantime, keep the tricking about the gameplay and stuff going.

... this isn't news.

Sovereign · 2011-07-28, 08:51 PM

...and sooner then people expect can be perceived by Smed as being as 'soon' as spring 2012...

Food for thought.

Crazyduckling · 2011-07-28, 09:00 PM

at least from what i've gathered, a lot of people think beta will be here by the end of the year.

so, definitely sooner than the end of the year...?

like late december?

Last minute attempt to squeeze a few more subs

Thoreaux · 2011-07-29, 01:12 AM

They deserve props for being honest. If they don't know they don't know. I'd rather they not make promises they can't deliver on.

if they WANTED last minute subs.... for WHATEVER REASON... they would show a ton more footage that is not yet complete, increase the hype 100%... spend 3500 dollars on a TV spot at 6pm nationally on NBC and get 15 thousand people easily.... prolonging it 3 months being equal to 15 x 15 x 3 equalling nearly 700 thousand dollars......

If they wanted to fuck you, they could.... they havent..... relax.

I like how though the entire post it read rage, then you get all the way down to the vary end "they could..... they haven't.... Relax.." sound like at this point you was counting down in your head to claim down.... but i tease as for what you said.

regarding the subscribtions theres still 26 days left on my free 45days, and Ill resub when theres 1day left. but i was thinking they don't want to announce anything till the 45 free days are up.
