News: Planetside 2 beta plans

[Crator]

I'm thinking everyone either logged into PS1 or passed out over too much excitement. Not sure which....

[PoisonTaco]

Meh I figure that there's no stressing out over it. Beta's starting but I probably won't get in right away, even with a PC Gamer key. I'll get in when I get in but in the meantime I've got a campaign in Shogun 2 to win.

thanks higby along with the rest of the devs. you guys are awesome. and the haircutmageddon was hilarious to watch. good times. take care guys see you in beta soon

[Hydra]

Since Beta is FINALLY starting, all of the inane arguments and trolls trolling trolls will calm down a bit, what you are experiencing now is a "peace" until the Planetside is ready for everyone to play, then we can have new things to argue about!

Hooray!

My guess would be now that everyone has the dates (kind of) they are either satisfied or pissed about not getting more details... because honestly we didn't get much of anything at all in terms of new information.

We already knew Beta was coming.

I feel like everyone must be out playing PS2..

[Kashis]

Squirrel!

Well, confirmation is nice. Thank you Higby.

I think some people understood Higby wrong. "External testing will kick off this week with the technical test." Beta isn't starting this week, tech test is (even though the lines between tech test and "beta" are blurred enough to where some people still consider it beta testing)

At any rate, can't wait to get in! Should prove to be an amazing time, and thanks to the community for sticking with it for so many years!

My body is ready!

And by contemplating which steam sale/s to jump in on, he means refreshing our email.
