Do you still plan on posting here after getting into Beta?

Sephirex · 2012-08-04, 10:30 PM

Beta's almost here, and during the next few weeks, a lot of us will be getting in.
Which means an NDA and a switch to the Beta Forums for all Beta discussions.

As much complaining as I hear about our community, I think the Beta forum community will be a definite downgrade and I'm definitely going to miss hearing the opinions of most, if not all of you.

So questions are,
Do you plan to keep in touch on these forums even with the NDA?
How much do you plan on interacting with the official Beta forums?
And do you think you'll be back as soon as NDA drops?

Yep.

I'll spend as little time as possible on official forums.. haha.

Stop acting like you're not in beta right now. Lol
Well I guess that's proof that you will.

Well what else am I going to do when servers are down?

In all seriousness, Tech Test has only increased the activity here. Lots of folks on these forums are already in tech test and posting here.

I would hope you'd all be on the official beta forums spamming topics begging for sanctuaries, and keeping the bad parts of 'modern shooters' out of this game.

Not just technical changes, and bug fixes occur during beta. Design overhauls can occur too, if there's enough demand for them.

This is true, the NDA must be driving them mad.

Nope. I have an unfriendly online attitude and a desire to do more then surf 300 forums. I'll stick to beta discussions and actually work to help balance the game and squash bugs.

Helps to actually participate in subjects that have some kind of meaning other then mindless arguments.

I'll be sticking to the main forums, battling back and forth with rampant stupidity and those grasping for the return of flawed or moot concepts from days of old. I've always preferred official forums to third-party forums, mostly because I've felt if there's any place the developers will be paying attention, it's there.

Electrofreak · 2012-08-04, 10:49 PM

Has never stopped me in the past.

It's just a matter of being careful what you say.

I think PSU is a little more closer to the development than the average third party forum.

You can see that many of the devs do use this place.

Yea.. flawed logic when it comes to what we have here on PSU. Have fun with TrollSide 2.

Oh, you're just being biased

It's one thing when MOST of the community is on a fansite simply because an official PS2 forum isn't open to the public (Guild Wars 2 doesn't even have an official forum, what choice is there?) It's a little different once the official forums of a game become open, but that's also entirely dependent on where a bulk of the forum base spends their time screaming at each other.

Honestly, I expect once those forums go public, most new users to Planetside will be going to the official forums for their information/complaints/trolling/drunken rants/soft-core porn postings at 2 a.m. in the morning just see if the mods are awake and paying attention.
