New patch FLB's + other stuff

[Trebor95]

http://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/planetside/Forum8/HTML/018287.html


We are releasing a patch shortly that will include the following items:

1) Facility Link Benefits have been implemented. There is more information on these benefits in our online manual.
2) The Enemy Density Warning System has been implemented. When a large number of enemy units invades a facility's SOI, all friendly troops on the continent will receive a message alerting them to the buildup.
3) Vehicle access will no longer be reverted to Empire-wide access when an owner is killed.
4) Fixed a bug where players would be invisible for several seconds after they respawn. This also fixes the issues that caused a delay in accessing equipment terminals after respawning and vehicles trunks after getting out of them.
5) Changed Decimator's secondary mode rate of fire to match primary mode.
6) Certain Framerate optimizations were made for higher end machines. Lower end machines will also notice some improvement.

Servers will need to come down briefly for this update. We will try to keep the downtime as short as possible. Players are currently being notified to finish any captures they have in progress and log out.

Any rumors on what these are?

2) The Enemy Density Warning System has been implemented. When a large number of enemy units invades a facility's SOI, all friendly troops on the continent will receive a message alerting them to the buildup.Hmm...this could be good or bad. I guess it depends on what they define "large" as.
3) Vehicle access will no longer be reverted to Empire-wide access when an owner is killed.Thank fucking god!
4) Fixed a bug where players would be invisible for several seconds after they respawn. This also fixes the issues that caused a delay in accessing equipment terminals after respawning and vehicles trunks after getting out of them.Cool if it works :)
5) Changed Decimator's secondary mode rate of fire to match primary mode.See comment on #3. I was starting to get sick of rapid fire Decis blowing my Lightning to hell :p
6) Certain Framerate optimizations were made for higher end machines. Lower end machines will also notice some improvement.Cool for people with good computers ;)

Stop trying to play the game on a P 3 1 Gig 256 Ram Geforce MX computer.

Can any infil tell me if the FLB are hurting the cloakers too bad? Reading about the radar enhancements that come with capturing an Interlink Facility make it sound pretty crippling for anybody who spends a lot of time as an infil and I won't get a chance to test it out for a little while.

They also added the ability to not use boomers, anywhere. Isn't that nice? Thank you SOE :thumbsup:

[00AgentDuck]

Yeah my magrider seems to bob up and down. Before it didn't seem to do that, but maybe just the framerate change made it look like that. Also my gunner said it was alittle more jerky then normal. So hopefully if the patch messed this up they'll fix it.

I haven't checked to see if I can still place boomers or not, I'll probably check that out today.

[WildEagle]

what no boom booms fuck SOE

[SmokeJumper]

WildEagle...I just went onto Werner and tried using a Boomer. It worked no problem.

What are you seeing happening? I can lay it down, get the switch in hand, and detonate it easily, just like always.

[WildEagle]

yay I take back.

[Vis Armata]

Well, the FLBs are great additions to the game; I haven't been this excited about PS since beta. As far as any framerate problems, I've had none so far, and my computer isn't a speed demon.

[SmokeJumper]

Actually...dont' take it back yet. I've seen reports of flakiness on Boomers with other people also. We're checking into it now.

[WildEagle]

Booooooo*wish I had a pic*

[ChewyLSB]

It seems that you cannot lay deployables near walls anymore, including boomers. Actually... i haven't tried laying a boomer ON a wall yet, but I haven't been able to lay them near walls on the ground.

how about you give me about a thousand bucks or so to spend on a top-of-the-line computer so I can buy it specifically to play this game.

i know you weren't talking to me, but your comment was completely uncalled for.

some of us don't have an excess of money here, and we can't afford to blow all our Bill Money on a super-computer just to play Planetside. My meager little POS computer (Intel Celeron 1.3ghz, 512 RAM, GeForceMX420) does everything I need and want it to do, and before this patch I had NO PROBLEMS playing Planetside. none. BARELY any lag at all.

after i downloaded the patch, my first hour or so playing was LAGFEST. it started to stable out after a while, but I still had lag issues and graphic bugs that I did not have to deal with before the patch.

[CraZy]

huh
Athlon XP 1200 256 RAM DDR and GeForce2 MX400 32Mgb and game runs ok for me...not on high settings but its playable.....i think after i will get GeForce4 MX440 AGP8x 64mgb + TV out and tweak it good the game will run better then on Radeon 9800 :) learn to tweak you PC`s guys
