Beta

z4kz · 2002-12-13, 03:13 AM

I know right now that PlanetSide is in internal Beta, but is there a website to sign up for the general Beta so that when it opens you can be notified if you are selected. If so can somone post a link?

I believe the beta sign ups ended quite awhile ago. they were open a very brief time and then vanished. you could hit the official site if you like. there may be some more or other info there.

Official Planetside Website

sorry

Beta signups were November 1 - 7 dunno if they will open it again..

Well considering they only want 1000 peeps if i remember correctly and they got something like 30k i doubt they will open again. They have propably already selected the lucky few.

You can always wait a few weeks after the exclusive beta starts for the open beta, myself i don't mind not getting into exclusive beta since open beta is only a few weeks later and is much more fun (exclusive beta = finding bugs, open beta = playing game)

Yeah. The exclusive beta for Earth and Beyond was annoying with all the bugs and the wipings. The open was actually playing the game to stress test basically and fix a few minor bugs.

Well, nobody really knows what the beta schedual will look like until something is announced. For all we know, they could skip the open or closed periods all together. who knows....

Skip it? I would sue if they skipped beta...

No there have never been any signup for open beta. The signup in the first week of nov was for closed external beta.

yea stress tests as well as balance issues only found when massive amounts of people play. ex: a squad with certain weap combos absolutely own everyone. this mixed with tactics that are empire specific=unfair. tada.

Actually, you're wrong

When you signed up you could choose closed or open.

Actually you are kinda right, yes you had the choice of what beta you would prefer to help on, but it also stated after you submitted it,(if you would have read it) that even if you didn't get picked for the one you wanted to help on they would keep your app on file for any other beta tests they might need help on. Meaning if you weren't part of the internal/closed beta, (yes the internal and closed beta are one in the same for all those that don't realize this) then you might be selected for the open beta testing. There most likely won't be another app for the open beta do to how many people they had submit apps on the first sign up, but I could be wrong and they might do one more app process. Hope this helps a little.

Ok, I thought the whole point of open beta testing was that it was open and that anyone could get in. I think what they meant by still keeping you on file is that they might choose you for the next phases of closed testing after the first phase. Let me know if I'm horribly wrong though, I don't want to sound like a moron.
