Edit: guy I was responding to had his post removed.

That tweet from smedley is alot more reassuring, plus I don't mind waiting a tad longer if it means getting to play with low ping.

This EU topic has been brought up and forgotten about a dozen times in this thread...Always saying the same things...

It's like stepping back in time 6 months.

And with all the whining it's like most of the posters stepped back in time to when they were 6 months.

Thanks!

1. Sorry if I have sounded hostile or whatnot, I'm just hoping to get in this game asap as are you all.

2. Mayhaps the current info regarding EU players should be stickied somewhere, because me and the few others will not be the only ones worried about this in the near future?

We are doing true beta testing, not just a game demo and we implore those of you who are invited to understand and respect that. Things will break, the server will be unavailable sometimes, we will cancel scheduled tests when we find something that breaks before the test starts. All of this will help us make a better final game.

This is the part I'm looking forward to most during the beta. When PS2 finally goes live, the only bugs I wanna see are on public test build servers. Effective beta testing will mean everyone setting aside factional differences to attack bugs and perform testing with full coordinated force, so we can track and report every issue we find to the PS2 team.

That doesn't mean we can't enjoy it too, though.

Indeed. We definitely need some idiot bashing from Firefly again in this thread

What I find amazing is what the developers have done in 6 months so far. It's quite breathtaking yet people still can't just wait a few more weeks.

I often wonder if people realize what beta is for, I get the impression many just look at this as a free demo, which it isn't.

Well there are some true betatesters around don't worry.

At the community event we were talking with devs about things like intuitiveness of the UI, the 'feel' of vehicles interacting with terrain, weapon balance etc.

And the devs were all really great about getting the feedback. They told us to give as much as we could, not to hold back on anything. We also got insight as to why certain things were done they way they were and the back and forth the elements went through to get were they are now.

Phenom II X6 would be the best option.

Not even. We Euros were just a bit worried. Sorry, I guess. Also, I do think Firefly is a pretty intellectual person; he would be burning you rather than us panicing Euros :]

John Smedly posting on random people's reddit. Nice. This show alot of dedication and commitment to the game. Makes me want to become an avid fanboy.

Always nice when the Developers and President of Soe talk with their fans about the game instead of spinning Pr agents like Erling Ellingsen from funcom's age of conan.
