Today is the last day... what happens now?
Any estimate on the release date for the full version?
What was everyone's overall opinion of the beta?

Rumor going around was that if the beta went well, 1.0 would be soon to follow. I give it a month at the max. But it sucks cause I want to play pr but there is no way in hell I'm going back 0.98.

Yeah, no one is going to go back to .98. The game will die until 1.0 is released.

Indeed – I did mention this earlier in the official PR: BETA thread that ".98" (v0.981) is both outdated and lack several key components compared to the current BETA and that going back to the previous version is out of the question.

I think the 1.0 beta servers should continue to run until the release, if not to allow continuous feedback, then just to give us a taste of the latest version.

I've been playing most of 3 days and the 100p servers didn't crash once, and mumble only crashed once. It's bliss!

It's all about hype and surprise and the PR team are experts when it comes to that.

I haven't been playing all that much of 0.98 and couple days ago I tapered off the 1.0 beta because of the disorganized horseshit on the servers. When it gets released server admins can **** the ban hammer and then be able to really enjoy it. I for one will not play any 0.98, I'm done with it.

I say they keep the servers up, but only release everything when its ready.
I can't play old PR anymore...

+1. The Beta servers are pretty garbage. Its like playing Vanilla again. 0 teamwork and 0 cooperation. And with the "first come, first served" rule for assets, you can't reliably get an asset and you're stuck having things stolen from you. Once real admins get control the gameplay will increase.

Some people I know to be ok teamplayers acted like jack-offs. I can't imagine other servers letting that kind of mayhem ensue for 8 day's like that. I got a stack of names of people who will never be allowed in my squad.

No point playing 0.98.. Will be back for 1.0 if the community is still alive when that happens :/

Is 0.98 really that bad?

What exactly is so terrible about it? I stopped playing when I spent most my evenings trying to find a half-full server to play (lack of community). Unless 0.98 is bad for some particular reason, we should all be riding a hype-wave ahead of 1.0's release?

Otherwise I'll just play CoH2 until 1.0 comes?

Hosting a server isn't cheap and funding is not as constant as it should be. Don't believe DEVs aren't keeping the server running just out of fun.

Oh god, please, that garbage. Almost every single COH mod is better than that. Just sayin' :D

Well, okay, so we can keep the servers down.

But what about everyone whining about how "nooby" and "no teamwork" the servers are?

Hate to break it to you buddy, but I'm a PR player of a few years and I've been having so much fun in the beta servers, with people, even guys from fucking Planetside 2, communicating and working together.
Anyone whining, I'm sorry, but you're an asset whore, and a shit teamplayer.

Of course, I have not visited all servers at all times, so there is bound to be some ****.
But it is not anywhere as bad as players say. They just suck at the whole teamwork concept.

Any idea how much it costs? Could be an investment venture for me in the future.

lol @ people complaining about no teamwork or coordination.

I've gotta say that the last few days have been filled with teamwork.

In fact, it's been quite a while since I've seen this sort of infantry teamwork and such.

Tho assets are still a pain in the *** when it comes to working with the infantry, most just seem to enjoy jacking off somewhere on the other side of the map.

I feel the same way. As per my SQL thread, I've had some cracking rounds of teamwork this week with other pubbies.

Just had my best experience on Ramiel INS as US Army. God damn, my bf2 crashed leaving me wondering whether US Army will achieve its first victory on Ramiel. Best moment was when my squad got to the second known cache faster than Insurgencies, blew it up and and retreated just right when insurgencies arrived at the cache position. Falling back after successful mission under smoke cover and mg, ar and grenadier suppressing enemy was damn awesome!!!!! Cheers to you guys from ENG INF and squad leader 2LT Sloan [EEF].

I've played 3 matches and all of them were full of organized warfare, squads cooperating with each other and assets, CAS doing its job and commander doing great job organizing this chaos.

In short, no way I will play 0.981 again with THAT deviation and FOB knifing.
