How does the pace of battle feel? Of learning certs or gaining/spending resources? Would you buy X item on the market or simply grind it out? Does this facility seem defensible? Is it conducive to combat on both a large, and small squad based scale?

So on etc. The only bad tester is one who gives useless feedback (hyperbole) or none at all.

Playing the game and giving feedback IS testing it.

I mean people who just want to play, which are quite a few, I'm sure.

They will be excellent test subjects for the testers.

I'm sure if anyone finds something they feel isn't right, they speak up... whether they were planning on helping or not.
If a person likes the game, they want it to work out and be fun in the end.

Besides, even people who don't actively try to test are helping test it when they interact with others.

*pictures a wave of TR Galaxy Gunships with 3-4 dual bursters locked down on top, facing each direction*

That would be awesome...you'd have to attack from the bottom of it, it would change entire angles of attack, and take some serious coordination to bring down.

edit - what if all 4 MAXes locked down back to back, and in the little square in between was a dude with an engineer kit? The MAX units would keep him from sliding off, and he could repair both the MAX units and the Galaxy...

Speaking of engineer kit...what if you had a sunderer with a max locked down on the rear, with an engineer in front of him using a deployed turret, along with the existing turrets on it?

Is there a difference between the E3 keys and the Twitter keys going out?

Nope they both put u in the beta player-pool as last, but still before people who don't have keys.

Uh, can I get a real answer?

I'm pretty sure PRIORITY ACCESS doesn't put you in last.

Last behind the PCGN beta keys who are also behind the PS1 vets. I myself utilized the PCGN key as well as my veteran status for optimal chances. This may not be the answer you're looking for but essentially, yes you will be last.

I'm a day 30 PS player, how does that affect my beta start date? Where is your information from? The guy at the booth was saying these are day 1 beta things but I didn't believe that.

From the various twitter and forums posts (most of which can be found on page one of this thread):

PS1Vets/PCGamer Keys>Twitter/FB/E3 Keys>Everyone else.

All the keys you obtain (or being a PS1 vet) give you priority access... Priority over those that just sign-up on the website. But within that priority access group, others are given priority.

Cheers,

GG

Yea, I get that. (Which is retarded as to why they gave us slips that literally read PRIORITY ACCESS)

What does my being a Vet and a CURRENT subscriber affect at all?

I'd say you'll most certainly get in. Never a guarantee though

Shot, I have two accounts (one vet and another with a PC Gamer key) and I may not get in. Ya just never know...
