Yes, well done Goku, removing our Borat pictures are sure ways to keep things from escalating.
I think people just handle it better because this isn't the Call of Duty/Heroes of Newerth/Battlefield 3 forums, but maybe I am just flattering us as a community.

Well this is kind of how it always goes with Beta's. Pretty much every Beta I have seen starts by inviting Guilds/Clans, and testers they know have experience or were useful in the past. Well them, and the Press. Press get in first like Totalbiscuit the lucky bastard.
![]() At least we know Vets an key holders will be in the early waves. Which basically means anyone can get in if they go buy PS1 or PCgamer though lol. |

You still dont understand mate. First Platoon and Vets get in at the same time, but just not all of them. Thats the way it is, and i would be rather angry if im not in the very first wave, but i do have to deal with it, no matter what. In the end, i know one thing for sure: If im not in the first or second wave, i will be in the third or 4th. I will be there, just as you, because we both are vets. ![]() |

Edit: Wow I just read that you knew about this for a week - so they had a week to give us a heads up about it and avoid panic. Disappointing. Last edited by Malorn; 2012-06-13 at 02:42 PM. |

And this is by no means a beta invite or an announcement, and vets still get preemptively butthurt over it. Last edited by ArmedZealot; 2012-06-13 at 02:41 PM. |

Maybe because they knew they would be spammed with mails from outfits to get in the thing? ![]() |

I will say though that SOE have an unfortunate history in terms of actions and communication throughout their game portfolio that has earned a level of distrust amongst many gamers. I have been quite vocal in saying that I believe they have approached PS2 correctly and that a new approach seemed to have been adopted which is certainly an improved way forward for them. Unfortunately, the manner in which they have undertaken this particular step is a somewhat backwards step in that they haven't been open to their existing customers. If SOE had approached this First Platoon program by actually saying on Twitter/PSU/Facebook that they were looking to engage clans with no history in PS and they wished to keep that interaction separate from veterans to allow them a clear voice in putting forward their ideas then this post would not exist. Unfortunately it now appears that this interaction took place in a rather secretive and exclusive fashion which has appeared like they are back tracking on their promises to their current loyal customer base. I do not believe this is a positive interaction for the company. |

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the purpose of the first platoon thing. If it's for developer feedback, isn't that what PSU is for? Why wouldn't they want more veteran outfits in there? Most PS outfits have played many other games and MMOs since PlanetSide, giving them a diverse and unique perspective.
