Title: PlanetSide 2 Test Weekend
Post by: PSNews on 12/03/2015, 18:30
Fellow Auraxians, the team has made a number of changes on PTS and we need your help!  Join us on the Test server this weekend to not only receive a vougish new helmet, but help make the game better for everyone!

All you'll need to do to get your helmet is log on to the Test Server between now and Sunday.  Make a new character and get them to BR 5 on Koltyr and fly any aircraft for 30 minutes.  

Please provide us your feedback specifically on your experience with Koltyr and new flight controls in the PTS feedback forum (https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/index.php?forums/planetside-2-test-server-discussion.70/).  Thanks and we'll see you on the server!

Let's organize a little op on Saturday or Sunday to do some ESF flying. Could be fun.

Nevermind, it's only the Analyst helmet again:

even if you already have the Analyst Helmet, you should still go to PTS and help testing

the more players for test, the better they can improve, just like in OMFG-times

So you know how small Koltyr is? IF all factions are going there the test will not be worth it. How many players do they expect to fight there on a live server?
Not 2 Platoons at each faction. But okay, you can send one platoon to the bio lab and one for the rest. :D

Flight should not be tested on Koltyr - that would lead to an air traffic jam. :D

I've been idling my galaxy for about 25 mins now. Only 5 more to go. That's not the way to do the testing, but hey, at least I'm about to receive a new helmet.

why not? have a big stresstest to check how performance goes, doesn't matter on which map, it just needs to happen

when they did OMFG, we had like 3-4 platoons of each faction in just one biolab, and it was crazy as hell
Koltyr has one of each major facility, and two sub-bases to every one of them, so big enough for big fights

that's the reason why many players want the Battle Islands, the maps are smaller and the fights are more packed

I made my BR5 as TR this evening on Koltyr. Strangest thing ever. Enemy sundy 100 m away from the own sundy. Everybody farming not killing the sundy... Again and agin.
But I did encounter severe lag/ loose of mouse input. Not sure if this was related to the fix or to anything else but only thing that changed obviously, was the patch.
Anybodyelse with that experience?

well not killing the sundis is part of testing, keep the fights alive and help stress-testing, that is normal on PTS, though mostly they have more distance between them

and since the PTS is in the US, you surely have some lag when many people are playing ;)
