Veigar Mordekaiser Royal Uhlans Amarr Empire 676	Posted - 2012.09.22 03:44:00 - [1] - Quote "New build due end of the month" "New PS3 Slim to launch September 25th with Dust 514 bonus content" "Dust 514 at TGS" "Open beta 2012" "AUR changes September 24th". If you connect all the dots, you'll realize something big is coming SOONGäó, something involving a new build, an open beta, an influx of new players, and a big shiny announcement to glue it all together. However, the announcement should come first, not the event. My question, is where is the announcement? You've only got three more days til the 25th CCP, you choking? My point is, we need news. We as beta testers, need to prepare for what's coming. Also, you as a company have to create some new hype, because honestly, there is very little hype about Dust 514 right now. If you announce your big event on the same day that it happens, how many people do you think will attend? If I told you I today, that I was going to throw a party yesterday, do you think you would come? News CCP, it's good for the community, and it's good for your wallet. *Edit #1:* Good job CCP, you released some news! Unfortunately those of us that are playing for free are completely unaffected by it. I hope this doesn't mean you're planning on the next wave of users playing on Precursor, because quite plainly, it's unimpressive and not much fun after about half an hour. *Edit #2:* Forum activity is quite low, possibly due to lack of interest in the game? Maybe the lack of information provided has something to do with this? hint, hint Don't get me wrong CCP, I like surprises, but being completely left in the dark leaves very little room for excitement. *Edit #3:* A point made by Gnaar Amarr, which I have expanded upon. The new PS3 Super Slim is set to launch with Dust 514 bonus content, so it's a simple task to infer that it will also include beta access. Now, there have been tons upon tons of reports of system crashes, hard freezes, soft freeze, infinite load screens, various other possibly system damaging bugs, all of these made in times of both E3, and Precursor. There have even been reports of people having to physically unplug their PS3 because the hard shutdown (hold the button for 30 seconds) didn't work, and as well there have been reports of outright system failures ("My PS3 is BORKED man!"). This is all important, because if the new PS3 Super Slim does launch with access to Precursor, tons of people are going to be reporting all over the web "My PS3 came with the game that broke it!" "I got the YLOD from Dust 514!" and various things of the like. Launching the new PS3 with Precursor would be terrible for CCP and Sony because competitors would say "Hey look, Sony can't deliver a sturdy product, and CCP breaks your system right out of the box!" It would be terrible marketing for both companies. *Edit #4:* With only -20- hours left on the clock, can CCP push out a decent build for the incoming beta testers? Can they prove to the community that $30 of bonus Dust 514 content made the new PS3 Super Slim a worthy investment? No one knows just yet! Find out tomorrow on the next episode of Terrible Marketing Skills (Level 1)! Edit #5: In only 3 and a half hours it will be September 25th in Iceland, and it will be 7(eastern)/8(central)/9(mountain)/10(pacific) and a half hours in the U.S. So CCP, are you ready for all the new-comers with PS3 Super Slims to play for an hour and leave due to crashes, freezes, and "Server Is Full"?

There's no reason to ruin the surprise, suspense, and whatever awesomeness they have tucked away for everyone. If this new build is supposed to dramatically improve the game, then all those that have given up with Precursor/E3 wont know something big is coming, because CCP has said nothing. We as beta testers are supposed to test the game, find the bugs, and suggest the fixes, that is our primary function. However, we also create the hype, we tell our friends about this epic game we are testing (within the bounds of the NDA) and give them our extra beta keys. We are as much an advertising group as we are a testing group.
Veigar Mordekaiser Royal Uhlans Amarr Empire 676	Posted - 2012.09.22 04:59:00 - [4] - Quote Yet CCP has given no news, statements, patchnotes, or tidbits to the community. Where are people saying it's playable at TGS? Are there any videos?
Veigar Mordekaiser Royal Uhlans Amarr Empire 676	Posted - 2012.09.22 05:08:00 - [5] - Quote Don't know, but they need to learn how to post news on the forums, as not all of us use twitter, and not all of us can watch the IRC like eagles.

I just watched a video from TGS, don't know if the footage was prerecorded or not, but it was definitely Precursor. If they're showing that at TGS they are going to have a lot of unimpressed gamers.
