Very excited about this game....now if I would just get that email with a beta invite I would be even more excited.

What about those who can not play that first day? Will we still be able to access the game at a later date? If it does indeed start Monday that is.

I'm going on vacation Saturday and wont be back till next week

AFAIK Your invite gives you access permanently unless the servers are down or you break the NDA.

Later tweets he jokingly hints at the beta being mostly bug free - intended anyway, as never will every bug ever be squashed in any game... except maybe pong, and even then I wouldn't make any bets.

I really do believe they intend for us to just play the game like normal for the sake of balance testing, sticking to whatever killing implements they want us to use when they ask us to use them. Again, that would be for balancing data.

Out of topic but just curious. I knew a littleman from the good old days of pre-launch of TERA. Are you that very same person, and if so : Hey man, how have you been?

Xyntech · 2012-08-02, 11:39 PM

2PM, eh? Wow, starting to get more specific. Maybe we should bump beta up from Soon™ to Very Soon™.

Hi, Liwen, thought that was you. Never seen anyone else take the name before anyway. TERA is... soulless. Waiting on PS2, obviously

And having played PS1, I'm freaking stoked. Terran Republic for the win baby! See y'all bitches sometime next week!

Let the domination of the TR and VS begin.

Sad about TERA. I played it for about 3 weeks then the student strike (Yes, in the crazy country that is Canada, students can go on strikes) ended and the semester resumed, but in double time since we had to condense 2 months worth of study in one. When RL says it's time to get shit done, you get shit done, so I didn't get to play any game at all for pretty much all of June. After that I just did felt like picking it up again. Tribes : Ascend however is loads of fun and revived my interest in the FPS genre, but it lacks the feel of persistent gameplay I've had with MMOs like EVE. Logical conclusions lead me here for Planetside 2. I hope I can find in it an MMO that's gonna be fun to play for more than a month or so.

Have to say those 3 weeks of TERA were the best fun I had with a MMORPG in year. It's a great game, but I'm not feeling RPGs right now it seems.

Anyway rambling aside I'm glad to see a familiar face, well username... You know what I mean :P. I only have a regular registration for PS2 beta so I doubt I'll get my chance to get in until at least early September, right in time for the new semester to begin! Who will win, college or PS2... tough question

See you in game soon mate!

Coreldan · 2012-08-03, 01:04 AM

Ok.. It's midnight in finnish time, so hopefully I dont get any sleep on that night then cos I'd be too busy playing Planetside 2.

I've been an active subber for a long time ONLY for this, gonna be really sad if I wont be in the first waves for whatever reason

It feels too good to be true to think we're just a few days away from PS2.. I hope there wont be more letdowns and delays.

GOGO SOE!

Okay i got Holidays on Monday and Tuesday

Smed said in AMA the Beta will start on Monday 99.9% Lolz

Hunterzen · 2012-08-03, 02:03 AM

"Yeah, most in fact won't get in Monday." Do you think all the PS1 veterans will have access on monday?

Edit: it would be great if we could start downloading the client over the weekend

You should probably put a phone call into your ISP and upgrade from 512kbps DSL before Monday. If you need a weekend to download any game chances are good that you'll be complaining about lag as well.
