for connectivity, I haven't been shut out of east1 at all yet.  As for population, the vanu always need more manpower.

Also, if anyone is looking to the official forums for updates... apparently the devs just aren't doing crap with them anymore, choosing reddit and other unofficial sources over the official forums... I admit they are a mess to have to deal with, but would it really be all that hard to drop a change log in the announcement forum for each patch? That's all I really was hoping for from them and apparently I won't even get that... now I have to deal with checking reddit.

Really? They've been posting updates since the 31st, just not on the beta forums? Arrgh.
(I don't reddit at all, and I quit reading PSU after I joined the beta, as PSU was just a horrible trolltastic speculatory mess)

Thanks to the awesome Rez, I am now able to join in on the fun. I cannot wait until I can get online tomorrow.

Remember... just submitting the key doesn't get you in. It actually gets you on a waitlist to get in (probably soon though if the rumors about a character wipe are true).

Took a matter of minutes to get the email.

So, any nominees for Esteemed Leader of the Members of the Bay12 Forums Who Play Planetside? (MBFWPP)

IIRC, the beta announcement forums do have update logs. I'm not sure why the public ones don't if they're posting this stuff to reddit but, eh.

They've stopped updating them... and even the last update is simply. "Hey, we're restarting the servers for an update." Without any explanation to what the update consists of.  They even stopped posting server availability on the forums and last night, just glancing at reddit, I noticed they said they were extending the normal hours by 2 (for overseas people). Apparently there are one or two specific devs still looking at the forums, but they're only focused on specific parts of the game. RadarX, the person who's been in charge of "community relations" and posted most of the announcement updates so far hasn't said a single thing in regards to the game since the 1st. Everything since then has just been him locking threads.

The rest of the forum is a mess, and there might have been most posts buried in there somewhere, but the announcement forum has just been neglected completely in favor of reddit, twitter, PSU and who knows what else.

[timferius]

On the bright side, Smedley said (on twitter, I know, I know) that they're pushing to get more devs on the forums. Plus, it's new forum software, so even the forum is currently in a beta state. Also, also, last annoucement post in the forums was saturday, all of 5 days ago? I think you need to go a bit longer before crying neglect, particularly since it was a long weekend.

Edit: oh, ya, the tweet "but we will always make sure to have people in our own forums. Soon that will increase greatly. "

[sluissa]

My only problem is they've had two or three significant updates since the last time they told us what was being updated. Reddit and PSU got info though.

[Sensei]

Come to think of it, I've just recently heard that B button does secondary fire modes for most weapons and the Galaxy/Prowler, AND that the Flash machinegun cert is now available. All through players mentioning it on the forums.

I'm in the beta! I've installed the game and made sure everything is working, but I won't get to seriously play until tonight.

[Sensei]

So, is anyone else interested in Outfit Leader position? There will be room for secondary leaders of course, especially when rank permissions become a thing. I think I may, tentatively, declare myself Glorious Leader tonight. If you guys want we could maybe start doing some informal outfit stuff before the wipe just to test the waters.

[Siquo]

If you're up to it. It'll mostly mean doing the administration and invites, and I'm not online enough for that responsibility...

[timferius]

That's my main problem too. With a full time job and kids, I don't have a ton of game time each night.

[Sensei]

I think I can be on often enough to invite people and set MOTD and such.

So assuming Y'all are willing to follow me, I'd say make US EAST 2 and 3 our primary/secondary servers respectively.

All that is left is to pick a faction! I'm personally leaning TR but I kinda like all of them. So I say, let's have a contest!

Write a short story about why your chosen faction is the best! (Or why the other two are godawful). Whichever faction gets the best story wins, we'll play as that. If you like maybe we can be one faction on the main server and another on the secondary. I reckon we can decide on Monday, so you have the weekend if you want. Of course if nobody bothers at all we'll just go TR I think.
