News: Planetside 2 beta plans - Page 37

They will have multiple servers to get as many people in as possible. Everyone will have different experiences of the beta. One person may not get the same problems as another. That's why Guild wars 2 as a recent example had around 30 servers all togeather. Anyone who suggests only 1 server must not have taken part in tests before.

Has nothing to do with beta. You're under a NDA anyways... And, there's plenty of info online for your friends to look at right now.

You wouldn't even tell your friends about your experience in the game because of the nda? Geez... And I thought I was the German here...

I tend to keep stuff under NDA in my walls like work lists and stuff. I donno i think that most ppl that visit my home can see them. Thank god noone hasent busted me yet!

That's an NDA breach all the same. That said, some companies do allow giving some little positive hype about the game, but the NDA is there to protect the game being killed by stuff that is still in the works, much like games like Brink were slaughtered by it being reviewed on a non-finished build on a console with no multiplayer...

Ya, well, not that I won't tell them some things... He made it sounds like he had to get into beta to say anything about the game friends though, and that's not what beta is for plus there's plenty of great info and media out there already you can share with your friends.

Sorry but the first thing I will say to all my friends is "Check your emails guys!"

Ah okay... but I can understand him to some extent, although we have seen some footage we can only be sure that it really IS awesome if we experienced it ourselves.

Another thing: Do you guys know what annoys me? It annoys me that it is not clear if invites went out or not. I just wanna know if there are already ppl playing the beta already or if I still have a chance to get into the techtest... and this state of uncertainty sucks

^^^ I feel ya on that one, and wished I knew myself!

Sturmhardt · 2012-07-14, 08:19 AM

Hehe...yeah there is some truth to that, imma get some beers and enjoy the free saturday

Pillar of Armor · 2012-07-14, 09:00 AM

Would be nice with some news how/when EU will be transferred to pro7 and how everything will work etc

General M · 2012-07-14, 09:32 AM

If we haven't sent off our specs can we still get in? It won't even let me send off my specs, it just says "dw it's cool, you're already in beta" even though I'm clearly not yet. Also, is it even worth EU players waiting or is this just a NA thing? Any clarification would be nice

Crator · 2012-07-14, 09:41 AM

Hamma said in the AGN thread he just made that beta has not started. I guess he was given the go ahead by SOE to tell us that.... So, don't fret! As for the tech specs. Perhaps they stopped taking them?
