Fake injury/sickness/death to get out of work and play for like 2 weeks straight.

I would be excited that it is out and I could play it. But somewhat annoyed that they did not take the time to properly test the game and stress test the servers along with receiving feedback from the players.

I'd be upset, but not because I didn't get to be "oooh look at me I'm in the beta". I'd be upset because I have a wedding to go to this weekend and I wouldn't get to play until Monday.

I swear to god people on the Internet are getting dumber. The question isn't asking if Sony could use magic to release a finished game today. He is asking your feelings on participating in he beta and help shaping the game. With a little bit of abstrac thinking, you could imagine playing today!

Agree... Why is this on the forums? Just ramble.

I did not participate in the pole.

I'd be upset, because there would have been no beta, meaning the game would be released without any fine tuning. This question just honestly isn't answerable

No, the poll is asking something impossible and obvious and silly all at the same time.

In essence if PS2 were full and complete there's nobody on these boards who would not want to play it and be happy about it. Thus the poll is obviously pointless.

The concept of the poll is that the game is miraculously through beta and done, right now. Obviously impossible.

It's simply poorly written and pointless. And a reason why I like official sites. (Polls aren't available to normal users.)

None of the options fit my opinion. I care more about balancing the game in beta than saying I was a part of it.

Re: If PS2 skipped beta and released today would you...


IF the game is fully finished and polished,than yes ofcourse i would like it to be released ASAP.
However that's the hole point of the beta:to get to the point where the game is properly balanced and the bugs are fixed.

So if you question were,would i like the game to be released now even if that means the balance and the bugs wont be fixed,than no.

Keep in mind though that the good thing about f2p games is that they always keep getting better and the developers are on a constant quest to improve the game.

It's not like bf3 for example which hole purpose was to make some cool looking trailers and than after you gave them the money and bought it,EA/DICE couldnt care less about the game quality itself.
And in tribes for example,the game is constantly improving,because you need to keep new players coming and since it's f2p,the only way you are gonna get money is if people like your game enought to actually buy from the store.

This is an mmo, it's never done with the development process. Beta or not you'll be a part of constantly evolving game.

Because mmo's don't use betas, right?

Chose "Happy"... Operating on the above paradigm, then there is no point to the beta, let slip the dogs of war...

Edit: Listen guys... he set the rules of his game, very succinctly. If he breaks out the monopoly board, dont fucking start reading the candyland rulebook...

Even if all the game mechanics were ready In a game like planetside 2 the scales and servers infrastructure need to ne tested and also with thats scales the weapons and vehicules balanced have to be tested badly !


SO its compleatly impossible and this theory canot even toutch my mind for a single second !

MMO always have beta and a MMO shooter need even more beta testing to ensure the fairness and the servers infrastructure the multiple comp build suport etc..etc..etc..

So i dont get the point of this tread

Ok, use a little bit of thinking to see what he's asking. How well written it is immaterial. The real question that's being asked is how much players care about adding to the testing, development and creation of the game through beta versus the opportunity to play it sooner. You sound just like a mediocre person aping he mannerisms of an intelligent one, but the one thing you can't ape is actual critical thinking ability.

^^^ This. I think I'd be a bit upset. Especially since the PS2 devs have been very involved with this community in discussing features and ideas for the game. If we weren't a part of molding the game we will have to hash all the crap out in a full time free-to-play environment <scary>. How do we know that player base input is required to make PS2 a solid gaming experience? Because we went through it in PS1.
