OK after another full day of run around I finally got a beta key! All of them are easy to get a response from as long as you are not asking for a key. Here are some tips that could save lots of time and frustration. If possible avoid these people, not ssaying you cant get a key but they are random, and like to string you along. This info is coming from 3 days straight of observation.

Wudi : He likes fan art even if its simple that seems to loosen the key strings on him. very stingy on the gives.

Bob : He likes role playing and is ruthless. Instead of ignoring he will respond to what he does not like. Begging or cheesy jokes will get you snubbed. Had not seen him give one key BEWARE

Nightcrawler : He likes role playing will make you do a freeking essay on everything about the game then snub you. Beware this guy will jerk you around for hours. He does give keys and it seems random, so butt kissing, or just a generic request, will have random results.

Everyone else I dont know, but after making sure none of these three were there, one simple tweet and I got a key. It was something like this:
How can you expect honest feedback when only butt kissing yes men are allowed in the beta?

FYI According to JSmedley the beta is in ~1 week. Also, I was in the technical test so if you have any questions, ask away. It's looking and feeling good so far Smile

8GB ish, performance very good in general. Most issues were with the actual mechanics (like slightly quirky feeling tanks to drive and scythe to fly for instance)

Thanks! It said it worked, but I can't see anywhere that it did. It only said that I got Beta Early Access or something like that.

If you check in Account Management --> Membership Info

It shoud say: Planetside 2 Account: ACTIVE (in green).

Don't pay attention to the "No PlanetSide 2 Membership" below that.

I played this over the weekend for a bit using a friends account. It's got some issues for sure.

Graphics are good, but still "appear" simple, which is probably good for performance sake. The actual FX (heat emission for example) are really nice looking. The day/night cycle is awesome for sure.

My main gripes are controls. They feel, rough or stiff. There's a delay in movement/commands it seems like. I don't believe it's intentional or at least I hope not.

I also experienced a "hitching" periodically. I'm not sure if it was caching stuff or not, but it was definitely annoying. They gotta work on that for sure. My system is pretty decent so I think they should be able to fix that up at some point.

As long as they can refine the controls and fix up some odds and ends it should be great. The vastness was quite a sight to behold.

Apparently the hitching thing is hard drive related, didnt occur on my system (RAID SSD).

I'm pretty sure the graphics stuff isn't all in. Including high res textures

I agree controls / handling needs to improve. Also i hated how 'blue' night was.

I thought I'd read somewhere that it was going to be a session based test process rather than 24/7.. I recall being pretty irritated by it..
