Will there be monthly patches every month? I know alot of Mmorpg have these monthly patches with new content every month, and I'm wondering if thats going to happen with PS? and if they do, what will the collest new continet you can think of ?MAybe in like 6 months or so they can introduce a new race like in earth and beyond (just an exapmle don't flame me)or something cool like that, then the game would stay fresh unlike other fps i think PS has alot of potentail with stuff like this..what do you guys think..



p.s Gee I hope this hasn't already been coverd

p.s.s:sorry about spelling content wrong

I can't see a new continent every month or in patches at all. Most likely that'd be for expansions. I don't think they'll need to release new things like most MMOGs. Many, especially E&B which sucked after about a month, because this is a changing style of gameplay with fighting rather than jsut going around and killing some monsters repeatedly to level to get new weapons to get to fight a differnt monster, etc. so they'll probably have less dramatic patches because there probably won't be as much as a need. Probably they'd introduce some new vehicles and certs in some of later(after a few months) patches.

new vehicle's and certs would be cool. Sput in your mind what would be the coolest thing possible? how about in like 4 months or so , when player start getting so advanced that they almost just can't advance anymore, they get a specail suit or something, you know so when they pass you by , everyone knows that guy is a bad mother f-er. Ill tell ya the trtuh im just afraid the game will get boring after so long. MAybe I'm just saying that because BF1942 is starting to bore the piss out of me and i thought I'd never get bored of that game..Guees it's time to buy "road to rome" .

On an after thought I was checking some sites and found a few pics of "pink " butt naked. She's got a kinda weird body don'tcha think????

Firstly, about the Pink pic, it's probably photoshopped. I think the "coolest" thing that could happen is a new sizing system tht allows forming of platoons into larger groups. Also, outfits being able to claim territory as theirs. I'm getting less bored with BF1942 and more annoyed. TKers are more common and idiots who don't know what they're doing are everywhere. "MUST USE ARTILLERY AS IF IT WAS A TANK!!!! THEN I CAN KILL EVERYONE AND BE GOOD!!! I WON'T JUST KILL THE GUNNER WHO WAS DEFENDING TWO FLAGS AT ALL!!!"

Yeah really, I always play on this certain server and it seems like a few dif peeps keep coming in and doing the same thing over and over again (shooting me down with aa even though were on the same team) but now i'm just getting plain bored of it, Running around on those maps over,and over,and over is just getting to me. Same thing happend with Mohaa ,and warcraft3. man I feel bad because i spent good dough on those and I never play them at all anymore, that goes triple with earth and beyond,Eq,andDaoc =(. What a waist of dough

In E&B joining an outift made me play for 3 new days, the halloween thing made me come on for an hour and I played 3 weeks of it jsut when I got it and just recently my payment ended. What a waste... Also, any Japanese map in BF1942 is just bad. As long as no one plane camps I love Market Garden, well, any or the europe maps are good. Battle of the Bulge is nearly impossible to win in conquest though but it's still fun.

Hey they should make a map called "hiroshima" and all you do is try to run out of the city before the bomb drops.j/k..lol

New aircraft in general (especially a bomber) would be nice. I think a common pool bomber, and then one or two empire specific aircraft would be a nice addition, but that might take a while.

It depends on what sniping is like, but maybe an advanced sniping cert that would allow you to get a better rifle, becuase only one rifle seems a bit low for an important role. Sniper rifles would actually be a good area for empire specific weaponry, and you could put it under the current cert (TR sniper rifle could have a clip for faster ROF for example).

Navies are another area which might be cool, but that would be a long ways in the future (1-2 years probably) if at all.

New implants should be pretty easy to come up.

All that stuff would be cool for extra content.

I would like to see new vehicles, and new forms of combat evolve. I doubt that we will ever see a new race (which would be lame imo). The devs have said they are looking into the navy thing and it is something they want to do - so we can probably count on that in the first six months. They also said they have strong support for GM events, which imo means they plan on screwing with us every month or so.

A new race would be weird. Maybe a new empire that's just a new one I guess that's another brek away of an empire.. BTW
4 entries found for imo.
imo

Thar \Thar\, n. (Zo["o]l.) A goatlike animal (Capra Jemlaica) native of the Himalayas. It has small, flattened horns, curved directly backward. The hair of the neck, shoulders, and chest of the male is very long, reaching to the knees. Called also serow, and imo. [Written also thaar, and tahr.]

The normal stuff, new weapons and vehicles. An urban expansion, maybe 1-3 cities per continant kinda like the Berlin and that one Russian map with the train yard.

Not sure what they have planed for GM events, hopefully they are better than the EQ ones I've been to, which usually ended in wholesale slaugther of newbies (not that that's a bad thing :twisted: ).

Sputty
2003-01-27, 11:04 AM
Oh, yeah, some cities would be great. Witht e base, maybe two in each, well within the city forcing urban combat..

Navaron
2003-01-27, 11:20 AM
You won't be seeing urban combat in this game. Dave said so himself.

Thats no where near funny.

new weapons!, someone told me that they heard that the first weapon they were going to add to the game was the flame thrower, I doubt it, but still!, I for one would enjoy running around shooting my fire everywhere as enemies run in terror. BUWHAHHAHAHAHHA! *comes back to reality*
yeaaaa, good ol' flamey

Navaron
2003-01-27, 11:29 AM
You won't be seeing flamethrowers or smoke nades either....

Bug fixes and balance changes is what i want to see every month hehe

Hamma

Flamethrower was in the game at early stages.

Hamma
2003-01-27, 12:15 PM
In fact - there was a model for it

Flamethrowers for the engineer class only would be cool since they would be spending there time mostly defending the base while deploying ACE defences. Speaking of which how about a class specific weapon?

Tobias
2003-01-29, 09:24 AM
Things I see for future Patchs:

New weapons
Empire Specific Planes
Empire Specific light tanks (maybe)
More Insignia later on


For Expansions:
New Maps (By this I mean new lands like the moon or another planet in the system. Possably the people on Araxius find a worm hole to another system, and they include a new world and space combat.)
New Empires: Prehaps factions of one of the three empires split off, or maybe an alien race in the other systems, or one comes to araxius.
New Graphics engines later on, proably 1.5-3 years from release.

continents dont just rise out of the sea, and adding a nother race would be gay the shuld leave it as it is for now

Frozen, why are you bumping month old posts?

Hamma
2003-02-27, 06:40 PM
I was wondering the same thing myself.

Adding new continents would be a HUGE Download, this it would probably be in an expansion pack.

Tolvy
2003-02-27, 06:46 PM
If more continents were added, the fighting would be spread out too much.

Only reply to threads that are on the first page plz. :mad:

I would like ruins of a city. And some caves. Also I would like to see limited swimming in standard and agile armor, maybe make your sta drain as you swim, and if it reachs 0 you run outa breath and sink? Navy would be cool.

I bump up a few 2 weeks old posts and I get banned....he bumps up a month old post and....nada.

I also forgot...

I cried the first time I heard they took the flamethrower out of the game. I really did, seriously, all over the keyboard.

Once the game gets big, people won't be able to fit on the existing continents...gotta remember, 3 of 'em are non-combat (at least until the devs tell us about that one situation they mentioned). So I think things might end up being so crowded people's PCs can't handle the load. That's why I think new continents and such will probably be added later, or more areas on old ones. I dunno, but there will definitely be more land added, it's just MMOG tradition.

Things I'd like to see later if they're not already in:
1.) Raindrop/snow effect on stealth things, footprints in snow.
2.) Customizable salutes for outfits along with the logos (frivolous but neat).
3.) The ability to cut power to the lighting in a base with a hack-attack (to make sneaking around easier). I assume that this could possibly happen when a generator is blown up, but I don't have concrete evidence to support that assumption.
4.) An implant that lets you crawl on walls and ceilings (imagine that with a stealth suit). Horribly unbalanced I bet, but still neat.

They could just make a new armor and call it Spiderman suit. :rolleyes:

Only if they made an .mp3 of the 70s spiderman TV series theme play when you used it. Annoy your enemies to their doom!

A long way down the road, the ability to do space combat. (http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2655&highlight=space+combat) That'd own so hard.

Destroyeron, you bumped 10 2-5 week old posts, and then kept on doing it after we told you to stop. Hellsife and I both warned you, but you claimed it was a free country and you could do it if you felt like it. That's why you were banned. Now let's just forget all that and be cool. Share the :love: man.
