Will there be an ingame CCG?

[BronzeElemental]

Anyone who recently played SWG will know what I'm talking about.

It would be really cool if you could pay money to play a card game while waiting for some action in PS2. They should also allow buying decks/boosters to activate random unlockable rewards for your character or account like super-powered weapons and vehicles or maybe even funny hats and beards.

Magic: The Gathering is ----------------------> way (ALT-F4 is the secret passcode to get into the game)

Seriously, if you're sitting around playing cards in a FPS, you're doing it wrong.

DEVS, I implore you to ignore this thread as it has no relevance to Planetside 2.

The devs specifically said in the panels that they plan PS2 to be very intense: You get into the action fast and basically have non-stop fast-paced fighting (at least that is their intention).

I do not have the exact number but in the public panel video John Smedley specifically stated that you would play in shorter play sessions and simply quit the game to take a break rather than HAVING to wait ingame because nothing is happening.

That vision for PS2 is very fine with me tbh.. replaying PS1 in the last days showed me how much downtime that game really has (which was fine when I had all day to play; not so these days).

I agree with you 100% Desoxy, and I like where the devs are going with this. However, they also stated that capping a base in the middle of enemy territory could take 30 minutes. We've all been part of THAT SQUAD that wants to divide the enemy's attention by taking a random base somewhere, and you end up sitting there for a solid 20 minutes before anyone rolls up in a Mossie to check things out.

Even though the OP is probably being trollololorific, I would like to see some sort of amusing minigame built in to pass the time. It could be something simple like a rock-paper-scissors emote or an arm-wrestling emote, but something like that would be fast to design and make the world more believable. We've all seen plenty of war movies -- past, present, and future where soldiers are chilling out between battles and joking around, and I feel it would fit right into PlanetSide's universe.

I'm glad someone else can see what I'm getting at. In the downtime it would be great if we could play some kind of other game, just to mix it up and since the card-game and unlockable mounts etc. were so well loved in SWG it just makes sense to me to bring it over to PS2.

Merchandising! When Planetside 2 is a huge success with millions of subscribers, and after we have Planetside: The Lunch Box, Planetside: The Cereal, and Planetside: The Flame Thrower (the kids will love this one), then and only then should we even think about Planetside: The CCG.

They're trying to get us into the action faster already.

Well, at least you aren't a bird. That much is confirmed. Many of them HAVE to look up to swallow.
