I dont like the idea of the CR3 comming under a CR5 list just because he's in a CR5's platoon. Also, including all ranks will make the list massive. I'm CR1 and it only took me 1 day to get it. 3 major victories for my squad. Commanding things took surprisingly little work. It would have been nice to write things on the map for my squad though. Does that come with a higher CR level or something? Come to think of it, has anyone got a list of enhancements that come with CR levels?

[EarlyDawn]

Map writing is CR 3.

And the list is only five rows at first. You have to manually expand each one. That way, your screen dosen't get flooded. And I'm sure they'll have a toggle like "LFS" that lets you decide wether you want to be considered commanding at the moment.

This "concept" is a fucking slap in the face to all commanders. I can't believe it's taken this long to even acknowledge that communication can be improved on. It is next to impossible to organize amongst commanders right now, and it should have been improved months ago. All I want is a common way for commanders and squad leaders to communicate on a continent. Nothing fancy like this concept is needed, although it's cool. Why is that so hard to get? *sigh*

Where's the damned lodestar!? All they give us is little chat improvements, platoons and other tiny little features.

[EarlyDawn]

Yeah, to be honest I would have rather seen the Lodestar IC first, considering the new conceptual changes to the LodeStar that Dave alluded to.

[SkunkPunk]

NOTE: they said that this isnt green-lighted yet, meaning they are not actually building this into the game or even physically working on it, it might never get into the game. its just an idea they had floating around. so dont worry your loadstar will come

[Ait'al]

I think in concept means things they have only had in concept. the loadstar is almost finished from what i heard and i would imagine that means its to far ahead to be in this category. IE this is a post for ideas there just begining to think about adding to the game in detail. Er, i mean finnally far enough to be in veiw on there list.

[Jagd]

By the end of the year != almost finished.

[Biohazzard56]

Lodestar im guessing would be implemented around mid-december since Smoke said it was entering production and just finished pre-production (concept and 3d art)

[Acaila]

Sporkfire is not part of a squad, so there is no number displayed by his name. He doesn't need a squad because he is the best player in PlanetSide ever.
haha

[EarlyDawn]

Gotta love that, haha.

[ZjinPS]

It'll cost ya an additional $29. :rolleyes:

[Biohazzard56]

*goes to EB Games to buy Lodestar for 29 bucks* [Biohazzard56 is a PS consumer whore]

[Hamma]

This feature is ownage. Pure, utter ownage.

Oh yeah, adding the caverns were such a tiny improvement. Merging three squads together with a new chat box and the specific amount of lines it takes on the top no matter how many members were in each squad is a tiny improvement. Fixing numerous bugs were just tiny improvements.

God damn, you're acting like it's the easiest thing in the world, being a programmer. All I ever fucking hear from you is "Oh man does PlanetSide suck, the Devs suck, SoE sucks, I don't know why I even play anymore". Then you know what? SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LEAVE. JESUS CHRIST. I'll I ever hear from you is bitching and moaning about various aspects of the game. Leave. I'm sure SoE is going to cry theirselves to sleep when you leave the game.

[Hezzy]

*dons flameproof suit and flees*

[Jagd]

Platoons are a rehash of squad code. The caverns, I'd like to inform you, are a paid expansion that came separate from the main game and was not included with our subscriptions. Also, bug fixes are not features, no matter how long it takes for them to be released.

The sad part is, you seem to be labouring under the delusion that I actually care if I offend you. Perhaps instead of telling me to quit the game if I have a complaint, you could instead quit reading my posts so that you don't upset yourself so much. Or maybe, Mom will bring you a nice glass of warm milk so you can go to beddie-bye.

Sweet dreams!

[Hamma]

If you had listened to our dev interview you would know that the Lodestar is coming before the end of the year. Which gives them just over a month, we should also be seeing concept art soon.

[Jagd]

I'm waiting for the transcript. Don't have 2 hours to spend sitting at my computer, unless it's to play PS. :D
