A message to SOE please take your time with the beta Plllllleeeeaaaaassseee, take all the time you need. I can wait I got BF3, Tera Online, and Diablo 3 to keep me busy. So please feel free to take as much time as you need to release the beta as well as the official game. I have both the beta key from PC gamer and Im a vet of PS so I know Ill be invited to beta, the only thing that will upset me is if you guys release a bug infested game that requires alot of patches.

Your faithful waiting fan

That is the point of beta. Release it early so you can find bugs. Also, Patches? Patches being a negative thing are so pre-2010. Now patches are released weekly and seen as a good thing. (Think League of Legends)

What I'm wondering is what is left to develop before the beta can be released.

Lots of stuff in the GDC demo were place holders, like animations, sounds, and explosions. But, usually games go into beta when its feature complete I think. Does not mean they can't fix, edit, or add things, just means everything they want in there is in there. Recently they added the 3D cockpits.

I am sure we are close. I mean one of the latest dates it could be would be E3 which is surprising in five weeks.

Few hours ago they had a playtest. That is always a good sign if anything.

Wow. I'm so like. Excited. XD

Not true, we know that it will be when Planetside2 enters the beta phase, it will be prior to its release, and will make grown men squeal like excited fan girls.

can anyone recall when the beta was first announced?

Top Sgt · 2012-04-28, 10:44 AM

i didn't mean it's overdue literally.... but right now would be the ripe market time to put it out etc.

People are hungry for a big PC fps shooter

BF3 dissapointed
Black ret was a joke

Hit the market now before MOH warfighter and Blops2 corners the market.

I honestly couldn't agree more. There is a lull in game releases atm. A big MMO FPS title if released now. Heck even the Beta would sweep the market at lightning speeds. I'm not saying this because I want to play beta. I do. I'm saying it because SOE could make a killing right now if they would just take advantage of this.

Ruffdog · 2012-04-28, 01:47 PM

They are different markets. PS2 will be free for peeps to evacuate. I doubt it'll be one or the other for gamers.
I suspect now they'll keep putting in new content right up to E3 and then have a high impact showing with greater numbers than GDC.
Could also be conceivable that beta has already started and participants have to keep completely quiet about it as per NDA.
