Hamma,

After going through the lack of info and customer unfriendly ringer with EA/DICE over BF3 believe me I will glady wait for the PS2 beta, the SOE team has been a million times more transparent and customer aware than DICE/EA could ever hope to be in their most explosive wet dream.

My problem isn't the lack of beta, it's the lack of PR-skills from Smedley and SOE.

Oh quit it you. They have never made a single promise about anything and you should be grateful that they have been this open from the start. They've got no "lack of PR-skill", they've just been open about their work when they did not need to be and for that we should thank them.

Now I'm as sad about this as you guys are, maybe even more than a few guys because I start school again on the 9th, but we should seriously just accept that this is going to take a while and that they could've launched beta today but because they are not doing it we'll hopefully receive a better product.

Breaking news!

The beta is not actually going to start "later this week". It will be delayed to next week, and then again after that.

Brace yourselves.

[Zulthus]

There aren't even that many ragers and whiners. Of course some people are going to be slightly upset and that's perfectly fine.

Just let people say what they have to say, as long as it isn't a rage rant or a boo hoo thread.

[Hmr85]

Well said Hamma and I agree.

Well SOE sure couldn't have gotten any worse so there was only way for them to go.

I actually fully expect you to be right. A one-of-a-kind undertaking like Planetside 2 will undoubtedly run into delays, and delays on top of delays. We'll all be playing someday. It's not like we are talking about Duke Nukem Forever type delays...oh shit, I just jinxed it.

Yeah I LOL'ed when I found my thread locked and Hamma made one afterwards with the same thing in mind. Apparently me and Hamma have been reading the same posts, idk what Basti is reading. Great work

Yes we know you aren't in beta and deserve to be.

Look guys - let's take a few steps back and look at this. You all are raging hard about beta of a game and how SOE and Smed are breaking promises. Posting dumbass images and attacking eachother over a game that every single one of us will end up playing eventually.

Step back and look at the big picture and start acting like the community I know and have had the pleasure of being a part of for the past 10 years. Quit raging in the forums and at the devs via Twitter and let them do their jobs.

Releasing an MMO is a massive undertaking, thousands of man hours, personnel from the devs all the way down to the systems and servers, networking, APIs and all sorts of fun stuff.

This shit is complicated give them a break and relax a bit.

Easy for you to say, you're in the tech test.

JK. Even if he is, I still agree.

To be clear, i saw this coming. Forgelight is a new engine, its bound to have bugs that screw plans. And theres no point to let a crapload of people in if all of them will tell you exactly what you already know: The game crashes / has terrible performance / has annoying Bugs that make it impossible to actually play / has no kittens / whatever. Should smed have said nothing about a date? Maybe, but we would have kept asking regardless, and would have raged about no reply. It propably looked good for today or tommorow at some point, but it seems something popped up that screwed the plan. Happens. Been there, done that, plenty of times. Chill, relax, enjoy the fact that you have at least one more week of your life.

Just trying to get people to use the thread thats ment to be used, rather than having a whole page full of threads about the exact same topic.



Anyway, Ray, enjoy your Ban.

[RSphil]

well said Hamma.
i have been involved with alot of betas and a few alphas and nothing runs smooth or on time. people have to realize how lucky they are they get any info from the dev team at all.

be patient. they have things to do to make it work. and when you do get in beta please dont post stupid threads saying this is crap it dosent work or this is wrong. that is what beta's are for. we are here to break the game not play it. any problems in beta please let the dev team know by what ever means they implement.

lets make this game legendary and be proud to say we helped with that and we where here from the start.
