What we know about Beta. - Page 36

I dont believe any keys are more priority than others. I got a PC Gamer US Key and my PS2 subscription is listed as "active" so Im in. Also everyone will feel cheated who BOUGHT priority acces and doesnt get in in the first wave. Thats a shitstorm nobody wants. So I guess all the keys handed out right now are all priority access beta keys. The vets wont get "keys with even more priority" because thats not really possible, so I guess most vets will just get their keys with the first wave... if SOE lives up to their promises.
Bottom line: If you get a key you are in, if you dont, you wait. Just like in every other beta that happened in the history of mankind.

It says my PS2 is inactive, and yours is active, so nope, not in.

they havent, they have been giving out free first-come-first-serve beta keys all day on FB every hour for a few hours. Next batch of 10 is in 20 minutes. Ive been a vet since '02 and even signed up for the beta. And now they are handing out free beta keys to who ever before those who have been on the list for months, and veterans. Pisses me right the fuck off

Just so we're clear, we're talking about this being "Active / Inactive" right?

"PlanetSide 2 Account : ACTIVE

No PlanetSide 2 Membership "

Also this is there as well

PlanetSide™ : PENDING

Details

CURRENT GAME PASS PLAN:
45 Day Non-Recurring

However I've never purchased Ps1 / subbed to it, so I'm a bit confused.

Its just that those of us who used PCgamer keys got to enter them so we show as active, while the veterans haven't had their keys mailed to them yet.

I'm sure we'll all be on equal footing when that mail goes out to the PS1 vets and they get keys.

They've stated several times that the FB keys are E3 promo keys and that ps1 vets will get in the beta automatically when it's time... So what's the prob?

alphalegend · 2012-06-05, 06:06 PM

just read that the UK PC Gamer july issue will have beta keys...does that the beta is not even this month?

Goku · 2012-06-05, 07:59 PM

Thats what need is a actual time period. Not just "soon". Good find.

DerFurst · 2012-06-05, 08:50 PM

After hours of pandering, I finally got one. That was possibly the stupidest way they could have gone about this. Oh well.

Not PS1 vet I take it? Or do facebook/twitter beta keys have greater priority? or are you just increasing your chances.
And yes, the amount of groveling on FB/twitter was embarrassing.

As per reliable sources, facebook/twitter are equal to PCGamer/vet status.

Prior to finding out that it wouldn't ensure getting in quicker, I did a bit of groveling myself. But there is no point for people who have a PCGamer key or are prior Planetside subscribers.

Someguy on twitter:
Can you confirm that keys you're giving away are a higher priority than the priority keys from PC Gamer/being a PS1 veteran?

Danicia:
They do not have priority access! Vets/PC Gamer do! [Danicia]

Interesting that the key I got through twitter that I attached to my second account said "Priority Access" when redeemed.

This is seriously fucking hilarious how every single statement contradicts with each other. The FB-keys also said that exact same thing "Priority access", and they were said to be better keys than the PCGamer keys.
