I don't think you understand, they aren't even convinced that buying the new GPU was a good move. If I even suggest it I'll lose their trust forever. I guess I'll have to be patient.

If this announcement wasn't clear, external Beta is practically here. We aren't dating it, but it's out there now.

Lol we have 270 users now because of the announcement. I'll give it to you .

I'm just saying that I had no expectations for a beta this summer until Higby said "over the next few weeks".

I know you guys are super careful about what you say because folks like me may hold you to it. I'm glad to know its close, but also glad I didn't plan any vacations around it.

Again, good luck with beta.

Also, an FYI to the rest of you, I was able to take the survey in the US.

I play on a Dual Quad Core Mac Pro (8 cores) running w7 with a 5870 in it. Not exactly your typical gaming machine. Was able to cover it in the system specs but not entirely. I put down Quad series Intel for a chip even though it doesn't accurately describe my machine. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Yes sorry to add to the thread.

I liked the announcement, others i think got too attached to SOON and WEEKS. Just be happy they are making a planetside2.

Well done on the 30days free that's perfect as it reduces the chances of hackers, i know in a company such as SOE this 30days free will have been hard fought for (look at the work required for fish).

./logs into ps1 to farm some AT

thermal it's just an event put on by PS1 vets for PS1 vets.

let it go.. I myself won't be playing july 1st alot of my outfit will.. but it's no big deal.

PS2 game mechanics are alot different than PS1.. let the vets have their day together.

Don't push your parents.. save that for after PS2 is out and you want to buy some cosmetics etc.

Hamma knows what he is talking about though, in terms of forum behavior.

Yeah your right, i apologize, just don't want everyone thinking the negative comment's were just random trolling or anything

[Biohazard]

Two things:
1) This was an awesome little tidbit to wake up to. Even if I don't get in the first wave, I'm happy that closed beta "effectively started"
2) We need a check on the status of Higby's Hair!

There's a difference between being disappointed and being negative. People have the right to express disappointment and can do so without being a toddler about it, which many of us have.

This announcement is disappointing because it's more or less a 1000 word article amounting to just one: "soon." That word has been flaunted for the last few months, and I was hoping it would be left behind with this announcement. Unfortunately not.

nutz I'm still waiting for my nvidia 690 GTX to arrive, guess I'll have to use my lesser graphics card for the specs until the badboy gets here.

I really dont understand. What do you need from your parents? what stops you from taking your own cash and buying something via internet?

I just vent to the PS2 frontpage and signed up for the beta with my old SOE account (again).
Previously it would just inform me that I was already signed up, but this time it took me to a survey.

Living in Denmark, btw.

I really can't wait to see you all this weekend. Let's make this the best Planetside event ever
