Tech testers granted automatic beta access - Page 3

It is annoying though that some people think the problem is that people do not feel entitled. The problem (with me at least) is that SOE said that Vets would have the highest priority for beta, but are letting in non-vets at the same time. Even as a non-vet, who thinks that I should not be let in before or even at the same time as the vets, even though I have a key, pisses me off for the simple reason that they lied to the community. Simple as that.

I have no problem with the current vets participating in the tech test getting rolled over into the first phases of beta. Those with no record of PS1 on their account should not get rolled over, however.

Also on thats statements it is not exact

1: They never said first the Ps1 vets will have the first place before anyones

2:At first the fanfest 2011 att was the only ones to get in before everyones else in the priority list

3:After thats the PC gamers keys come out there and at this time no confirmation as been made about Ps1 vets acess

4: later on they annonces that the PS1 vets will be directly fill in the same Q as PC gamers keys and Fanfest att ...

5: they also states that even if you have a priority acess keys or if you have a pc games , ps1 vets or fanfest att you have more chance to get in before others but still do not have 100 % chance to get in before everyones

What is the fucking problem? Vets have highest prio for beta, not the tech test... in the tech test they choose random people based on specs (it would seem), and removing them from the besta just because, is an incredibly stupid thing to do, with regards to making the game better. You can't really measure the quality of the tester you choose, but it adds an aweful lot of more work for the devs, work that could be focused on stomping bugs and improving the game instead.

Personally, I think it's great that players who never even bothered to put forth any effort to obtain a key of any kind will be able to play in the beta before those who DO have keys, or vet status.

Only have one thing to say about this....

It really dosnt matter!!

Everyone close up shop, Planetside 2 is over, beta is clearly ruined.

What would the current tech test invitees think about SOE when they actually withdraw the access tech test invitees have in order to let the 'vets' be among the first who enter the real beta? Yeah, now that would be bad marketing.

I will not be surprised if SOE opens beta with a total of 4 or more servers and they invite large batches of people throughout the first few days. Then we would get some arguments that the batches are too large and the 'vets' did not really get into the beta 'before anyone else'. These threads only make the 'vets' look ridiculous, even though it is a vocal minority. I love vets because they are largely responsible for the new iteration of Planetside, but please put an end to these threads.

Also, in before lock.

I don't mind if I get invited to the beta first or last, but I wanted to pop in here and say that a lot of people make it sound as if the tech test people are entitled to be in the beta
