What's your role going to be?

[Sentrosi]

So what is your role going to be in Planetside?
I think I'm going for the full on Galaxy pilot. I loved filling that role in the original game. I'd love to pimp out the Galaxy with Dragonwolf graphics on the nose, much like the Flying Tigers did to their Warhawks.
The exhiliration of taking off just before an OS hits still sits in my brain as a great moment. Sure the loitering could get boring, but it's a role that needs to be filled sometimes.

But should a Galaxy pilot not be needed for a mission, then I'll go back to the full-on support role I loved as well. Advanced Medic, Engineer and Advanced Hacker. Blow the door, heal the outfit and fix their broken stuff. All the while pressing forward to obliterate the enemy.

What about you?

[basti]

What about we first learn what we can do, before we decide? :P

[Death2All]

I'm fairly certain I'll just run around as a grunt as I always did in the original PS. Outdoor MA fights were always my favorite and I'd love to have a pimped out Pulsar and destroy people. I'm really interested to see the kind of things you can increase in the talent tree system with your weapons/vehicles. Hopefully it doesn't give a veteran player too much of an advantage.


Destroying noobs is always great fun, but I don't want to deter people away from the game because I weapon stats are vastly superior to their default weapon.

[Logit]

What about we first learn what we can do, before we decide? :P

Speculation my friend.

I always play Medic in most every game I play. It's a fun play style to me.

IN SWG, I went Combat Medic. In EQ2 I was a Warden Druid, in WoW I played Resto Shaman.

I'm hoping they expand a lot more on support roles in PS2, and make the class trees very detailed so they can be super fun.

I think Adv Med was the only cert I always had.

[basti]

Speculation my friend.



Ah well, then: Commander. Someone needs to give your tarts directions. :D

[Zulthus]

OP's post made me think about how one has to specialize in flying to use a mosquito. So... Galaxy pilots will be useful once again as we won't be having mossie hot-dropping outfits/players anymore :D

[LordReaver]

I will be in the role of fucking your shit up. Whatever that may turn out to be. ;)

[Jownzorz]

I hope you're gonna roll TR. We need some gal pilots for our alliance plans.


As for me, I'll be filling the leadership/commander role. Gotta keep my guys buffed and in line.

[Vancha]

Probably sniper and leadership, though I've always loved mobility so those jump packs are looking mighty tempting.

[headcrab13]

Infiltrator. Snapping neckses and capping hexes.

-HC13

[Tigersmith]

My role is going to be leadership first and foremost then assualt. :D

Cant wait to see what leadership goodies they have!

[Baneblade]

I have yet to break my record for keeping a tank alive... think I gotten to seven and a half hours. So, I'll probably be doing more of that.

[Aractain]

A free kill.

[LZachariah]

Combat Demolitions. I love Medium Assault (the Pulsar, in my case) and LOTS of combat engineering. Bombs are my favorite. If the Talent Trees allow me to JUST focus on different kinds of explosives (anti-armor, anti-personnel, proximity, remote-detonated, etc) I will just become a MASTER of the Pulsar and of tactical explosives (none of that damn "hand grenade" nonsense). I wouldn't turn my nose up at sentry guns or other combat engineering toys, such as sensors and stealth-field generators, but if I could JUST play as an advanced combat demolitions commando, I will :D

[Infektion]

I took pride in my Lib bomber skills :) so... medium assault and agile... with hacking... cant forget that. I always had the full hack.

[Lonehunter]

Support Infiltrator: Deployables, Med/Repair, as far as I can get into Engi and hacking (or some equivalent of it)

or pure Pilot: Which ever craft will provide good air to ground support, and a Gal pilot as well.

I'm just not that into standard infantry vs infantry combat anymore, and I don't have to be in Planetside 2 : )

[Peacemaker]

Air Combat Specialist Focus Mainly on Air to Air but definatly a lot of ground support as well.

Secondary role of Sniper.

From what I've read though it seems that every time you respawn / hit equip term you can change your certs. IF you have the time invested in the skills to use those certs.

[Firefly]

Leading my outfit. All other distractions are secondary.

[Bags]

This, essentially. Though I don't think a noob will be able to tell that they're losing because of 20% more power. :x

[Traak]

Cloaker/support and AA.

I live to see our guys have spawn points up the enemies' noses, not 5000m away, to see them healthy, repaired, and ready, and to see our pilots rule the skies while the ground is littered with enemy airplanes bearing the charred remains of their pilots' faces contorted into dessicated masks of screaming agony.

More gunning, less running. If I notice that air is too prevalent, I might just take a short vacation and visit some friends in a poor country, set up a team that I pay good wages for their part of the world, but still affordable, and do nothing but rape every blamed enemy pilot out of the sky before he can get within 1000m of our forces.

However, I would hate to see the enemy factions shriek and gibber to the devs that because someone was actually using it correctly, as a TEAM< that AA was overpowered, and now our faction's AA had to be reduced to the effectiveness of Nerf guns shooting flavored Jell-O cubes.

Oh, and avoiding being in outfits led by little Hitlers who have to have it their stupid, inefficient, costly, no-tactical-smarts-whatsoever way or they will have a tantrum and fling their diaper around and kick you from the outfit.

[Malorn]

Straight up squad leader & commander tree(s), obviously. I will of course dabble in tank driver and light assault infantry. Depends on how easy it is to get some of the basic stuff. I might just build out some of the basic roles so I can fill what is needed then go balls deep into squad leader / commander.

[Raymac]

Tankbuster. Whether it's from the air, or an AV grunt. I love making an armor column do a 180 and run back to momma.

[Baneblade]

Tankbuster. Whether it's from the air, or an AV grunt. I love making an armor column do a 180 and run back to momma.

Well then, I hope we meet on the battlefield someday. I specialize in Patton.

[Hamma]

Still torn on this myself.. I really liked supporting via Galaxy also.

[Quovatis]

Magrider and Lib pilot FTW.

[Raymac]

Well then, I hope we meet on the battlefield someday. I specialize in Patton.

Then I'll be looking forward to your hate /tell. ;)

[Death2All]

This, essentially. Though I don't think a noob will be able to tell that they're losing because of 20% more power. :x

20% just seems like a pretty significant percentage. If they lowered it to 5-10% it wouldn't be quite as daunting to me.

[Kurtz]

Buzz killer.

[Bags]

20% just seems like a pretty significant percentage. If they lowered it to 5-10% it wouldn't be quite as daunting to me.

That's an extremely specialized vet versus a complete noob. I don't support it, but I don't think it will be very noticeable.

[Tigersmith]

20% just seems like a pretty significant percentage. If they lowered it to 5-10% it wouldn't be quite as daunting to me.

They could change it during beta. Its all about balance. You never know.

[Logit]

They could change it during beta. Its all about balance. You never know.

They seem pretty adamant about keeping skill is the deciding factor on who wins. So if during Beta it seems these "options," whatever they may be, are too much of an advantage I would have to assume they would scale them back somehow.

Clearly they don't want to chase everyone off before the game is even released.

[Bing]

I always loved getting a friend or two around or behind the enemy lines to unleash any kind of havoc we could. (Be it with engineering, hacking, infiltration or just well placed weapons fire.)

So I guess small quick transport combined with a versatile setup that adapts to whatever we find out there is my game.

[MgFalcon]

Already know- I'm listing my top three focuses

1. Commander
2. Gal Pilot
3. Medic

[Bags]

You can't be "adamant" about keeping skill the deciding factor and then give people +1 chaingun damage for playing longer.

[HELLFISH88]

If I don't have a place like global to run my mouth I'm going to go insane. Guess.


Also air cav.

[WarChimp130]

I am really leaning towards armor, though I gotta see the final product before I make a decision. Really want to go in an entirely different direction from PS1.

[Rbstr]

Didn't we have this thread already? :p

Probably light infantry(medic, if it has decent combat options). Then a combat vehicle of some kind.

[Robert089]

Long range tactical support (sniper :D) and medic so I can be useful in the indoor fights.

[Manitou]

I love to ground-pound. I love the smell of exploding ordnance and the acrid aroma of expended rounds. I love leading my troops into battle, hearing them confidently communicating between themselves knowing they know their jobs; knowing they will always have my back.

I will serve my troops by leading them from the pointy end of the spear, with my boots on the ground.

Honor, Valor, Victory! Tis good to be CDL...

[Baneblade]

Then I'll be looking forward to your hate /tell. ;)

Don't hold your breath, I never send them.

[Bags]

Not many grunts out here. :( Just me and D2A.

[Hezzy]

I'm looking forward to piloting air vehicles in Planetside. Also perhaps ships! I suppose I'd be in one of those roles

[kaffis]

I anticipate delving into the command tree on behalf of my outfit, as I sacrificed early BEP in favor of CEP in PS1.

I imagine I'll diversify enough to let me function comfortably as a MA grunt (/engineer, if the role armament options shake out the way I expect them to) and I hope to be driving transports again (long live the Sunderer!), too.

Perhaps, down the line I'll apply some aerial talent to something niche like Liberator pilot. But squad support in the form of driving and leadership are my first loves.

[Ranik Ortega]

I really have no certainty on what I plan to do since I want to see how the game works first.

But off the top of my head

1: MA/HA grunt ( Depending on how infantry battles stack up.

2: Engineer / Medi (depending on which has toys I like better)

3: Lightning driver. Seriously I fucked so many people over with lightnings and loved being able to be a one man nuisance army :D if not that then i'll probably tank it up.

[boblikesoup]

A lot of us commanders I see.

Also going to do some basic hacking, engineering and drive a mobile base

[Bags]

A lot of us commanders I see.

Also going to do some basic hacking, engineering and drive a mobile base

inb4 we have thousands of commanders and no grunts

:p

[Traak]

Hopefully whatever the enemy hates the most that makes it so our guys have an absolute minimum of distance to get from respawn back to battle.

Being able to deploy towers, as was said in the latest video. Yeah, now THAT would be AMS on steroids stuff.

[Azren]

You will find me in a tank or buggy 75% of the time. Engineer for the rest.

[Alox]

Heavy Assault grunt here, with adv. medic to help my squishy team mates get back on their feet. And then maxing vehicle gunning skills for the times I can't be on foot.

[SKYeXile]

SUPER AWESOME PILOT GUY!!

[LordReaver]

I have yet to break my record for keeping a tank alive... think I gotten to seven and a half hours. So, I'll probably be doing more of that.

Wouldn't that be true for everybody all the time? If you break your record, you still have a record you need to break. It's like how tomorrow never really comes, it's always today. :lol:

[Tikuto]

Leading.

[FastAndFree]

Aircraft armor stress test pilot

[Manitou]

Let me clarify...I will offer my leadership to my Outfit, but I am a grunt at heart.

[Sentrosi]

Let me clarify...I will offer my leadership to my Outfit, but I am a grunt at heart.
And that's why it's been an honor serving with you sir :salute:

And that's why it's been an honor serving with you sir :salute:
:love:

The honor is all mine. See you Monday! wooo :groovy:

[Eolin]

I want the biggest guns to blow everything in indoors fights ! I JUST want to BLOW THINGS . BLOOOOWW !

( I mean, Heavy assault, heavy armor, Max, Grenade Launcher, Rocket Launcher.... all the things that does a big BOOM when fired and can be used indoors. No, i don't have any problems with explosions, i'm just an NC. )

[Vancha]

I doubt they'll let us fire rexo suits, and even if they did, I can't imagine it going boom without having explosives strapped to it first. :p

[Coreldan]

As for the 20% vet bonus, it's really the wrong way to go. It's ok for a vet to have more options and all that, but the time you give vet a 20% more firepower cos they've played more, you are guaranteed to have doomed reviews and lots of bad word of mouth. It was seen in APB, even if the vet would've destroyed the new player just the same with stock gear (thus the question arise, why the need for extra firepower?), everybody used the upgrades as a scapegoat.

So once again, keep any veteran benefits as horizontal, never as pure power upgrades.

As for actually on topic, recently in Planetside I've been a deeply specced engineer for the most parts cos I couldnt get much done in 1v1 combat. Generally speaking "ground support", AMS & ANTs, repairs, CE&FDU. Looking forward to also be air support.

If/when the gunplay will be better in PS2, looking forward to simply just be a grunt more as well.

Never been fan of leading, I'm the type of person who's better at executing what somebody else tells me to do.

I can't say I've played APB, but keep in mind it'll take more than a year for people to fully spec out their role of choice, and that doesn't include the outfit and leadership benefits that would be needed for that 20% benefit, and then you have the fact that that benefit will only apply to that role. Someone who's trained nothing but reaver for a year will be worse off indoors than a newbie who's trained HA for an hour.

Someone who's trained nothing but reaver for a year will be worse off indoors than a newbie who's trained HA for an hour.

You are right though and I can to some extent agree with that model, although I would probably hope that the bonuses would be something else than dealing more damage, damage faster or taking less damage, but that is indeed more acceptable than the way it was in APB.

Was mainly thinking sort of that you could get some universal type thing that would boost all damage output and reduce damage intake, like it was in APB.

But yeah, I don't mind if it comes through deep specialisation, as long as it's not like "gratz, u got BR25, now you get this implant that makes you deal 10% more damage on all weapons!" :D

However, in long term, they did say that you can basically have all certs (given that you have the time), meaning that several years from the release we're gonna have vets that are deeply specialized in so many things that they will basically have that 20% boost in many things, effectively making them have that 20% extra performance no matter what they do and that really isn't fun for the new guy.

[Jownzorz]

There may be a lot of people who want to be commanders, but its probably going to take a decent amount of squad leading to get there. The weak ones will be weeded out, while the better commanders will rise to the top. All I know is its going to be lonely for me on top for a month or so... seeing as I'll be the first highest ranking commander for the TR on my server, probably even in the game.

If it takes over a year for a single vehicle, then even 7-8 year vets will still have plenty of things to train, but I see where you're going.

If they do decide to go with the EVE model and just keep upgrading the game then that could, eventually, become a problem, but I expect they'll figure something out if the system hasn't changed between now and release.

[Desoxy]

I am all for high risk / high reward in FPS (like low armor but high mobility) so I am really curious what they will do with those jumpjets and the vertical gameplay.. could see my role fitting into a specialist task force behind enemy lines / very mobile tank hunters or smuffins.. :cool:

[Canaris]

The mobile infantry made me the man I am today ;)

[ShowNoMercy]

They could change it during beta. Its all about balance. You never know.

I assume dmg increases happen pretty high up the skill tree, so people may not get there in beta unless they provide an accelerated skill gain for testing purposes.

[MgFalcon]

The mobile infantry made me the man I am today ;)

*Missing both legs and an arm*

[Rbstr]

This thread isn't about fucking damage upgrades.

Stop that.

[Sinj]

And back on topic...

I think I'll go with mechanized infantry and support. Hopefully join up with a tank division.
I always loved the multi-tank engagements.

[FastAndFree]

What makes you think the light assault class will get anti-vehicle weapons?

[robocpf1]

Super squad leader shooter person master squad leader of the shooter persons TO THE MAX.

In all seriousness? If I can get away with huge Outfit Leader stats and then like...one really awesome weapon. I might try that. I'm really interested in how they're going to implement the outfit skill tree, would love to see that leaked sometime soon.

[Bags]

What makes you think the light assault class will get anti-vehicle weapons?

Silly raven, that's what the gold ammo is for!

[stylus]

Something in the sky.

[Blackice]

I see myself doing support and possibly some form of flight.

[Desoxy]

What makes you think the light assault class will get anti-vehicle weapons?

Higby told me so via PM.. :lol:

No, but seriously, we are all just speculating here.

(Very light armored infantry with AV weapons would be pretty rad though.. if the tank so much as looks at you you're dead, but you got your jumpjets :cool:)

[Sirisian]

Liberator pilot and Medium Assault and whatever gets me AV. I like blowing up vehicles (not so much players). :P

No worries, he's going to have a hard time rising to the top with me sending him to the tube all the time.

[GTGD]

Probably gonna grunt it like I did in PS. Though I'll probably sacrifice a bit of combat versatility in exchange for the leadership skills. The most exciting parts of the game though, imo, were LLU runs. Nothing like speeding away in a skyguard while half an army is on your tail and friendlies are charging in.

[Senyu]

My role will be headshotting all the haters with my sniper

[Jownzorz]

http://www.alexross.com/whoareyoubenson.jpg

[SgtMAD]

what I am saying is that these ppl that don't have clue how things were during the first six months of PS are going to crap their pants when they see what hits them this time around
now we have the squad/platoon system trained into ppl so the time it took to find all those ppl in PS won't be a factor this time around,the ability to kick the crap out of other empires will manifest itsself very quickly as we get the weaps all figured out,a lot of that will occur in beta anyway.

there are too many unknowns at this point to worry about certs and skills,that crap will end up be changed around a few times in the beta so you really can't plan what you are going to be doing.

I hope the same ppl that played Markov NC play NC this time around,before the CN showed up we had an empire that never lost an event and they know how to follow orders LOL

[Baneblade]

Amen to that my Blue brother. NC Markov forever.

[Jownzorz]

http://www.alexross.com/whoareyoubenson.jpg

Yes, but who are you?

I mean, if you never played on Markov, you probably never heard of [KDL]. If you did play on Markov and you still don't know who we are, we were the guys pushing your faces in every night.

and the idea that this guy and his mystery outfit was pushing Ht's face in is comical.

like I said before the crying on the forums will be epic,I can't wait to taste those tears

I don't think you were around in the beginning. Back when everyone was scared of Dreamer. Consistently made him my bitch over and over again. As for HT - jokes.

P.S. I was there for the takeover of Emmy. Ever heard of TTA? The Terran Alliance? Yea. Best alliance to ever exist. TR ran Markov and every knows it.

[Baneblade]

Dreamer was funny. He could kill thirty people in a row in the ground, but as soon as he was airborne he was as likely to kill himself as someone else.

[Firefly]

Why will people be crying on the forum?
Because he thinks he's so 1337 that people will go to the Official Forums to whine about how he's gotta be cheating because he killed them so much. You know, standard armchair-warrior bullshit bragging which is usually backed up by one or two videos compiling best-kill-ever moments whilst failing to show the hundreds of fails that went along with it.

[SgtMAD]

well you keep thinking because it is truly entertaining reading the crap you invent,the idea that the TR were pushing anyone around is a joke.

if the TR were so good at beating on us then explain why the TR NEVER won an event on Markov,the NC swept every event held on the server,all the mono events, the run for guns events and the first rabbit events,your alliance got whipped every time.

I got my first cr5(NC) in july/03 in Ht,I then took over leadership of the outfit in sept/03 so I have been around since day one on Markov.

and if you were around for the takeover then you would know that I am the leader of that outfit too.

I have played this game with damn near every TR worth a shit on Markov and somehow none of these guys remember you.

as for Ht being a joke,I can't wait to show you who the joke is actually going to be on.

as for the crying, it will be just like the original,all you ppl will be on forums crying about crap that needs to nerfed or banned because it killed you and its not fair
its the same thing that happened the first time around,morons that want to rush a guy getting in a tank cried until the devs nerfed tank rounds so they wouldn't kill in one shot,now you want animations to help support that idiotic playstyle,this was done with two shot deci kills,surgile,jackhammer ammo boxes, the hotdrop animation and so many other things that I can't list them all.it was the same logic every time,it killed me so I want it nerfed,it was challenging so plz remove it SOE and this crap went on until the pops died

the end result was ppl quit playing, they got tired of watching the forum whiners and the devs destroy a game we all loved and moved on and left the game behind.

now i see the same type of thinking all over these forums before the game has even been played,the idea that the devs are reading this crap and might be paying attention is terrifying.

[Manitou]

Hey guys, let's save the discussion on who was the greatest outfit for another thread. :)

Bring it back on topic! ;)

Haters gonna hate. KDL had close to 200 members at one point when i played (KDL predated my play time by about 5 years). I know 200 members isnt dark skyes in size, but the organization was there. If you never heard of us it doesnt matter, you will when PS2 roles out if youre on our server. Im pretty sure confidence is a good leadership trait, and pyro def has the chutzpah to run a legit ps2 outfit as he did in ps1 for over 8 years.

well you keep thinking because it is truly entertaining reading the crap you invent,the idea that the TR were pushing anyone around is a joke.

if the TR were so good at beating on us then explain why the TR NEVER won an event on Markov,the NC swept every event held on the server,all the mono events, the run for guns events and the first rabbit events,your alliance got whipped every time.

I got my first cr5(NC) in july/03 in Ht,I then took over leadership of the outfit in sept/03 so I have been around since day one on Markov.

and if you were around for the takeover then you would know that I am the leader of that outfit too.

I have played this game with damn near every TR worth a shit on Markov and somehow none of these guys remember you.

as for Ht being a joke,I can't wait to show you who the joke is actually going to be on.

as for the crying, it will be just like the original,all you ppl will be on forums crying about crap that needs to nerfed or banned because it killed you and its not fair
its the same thing that happened the first time around,morons that want to rush a guy getting in a tank cried until the devs nerfed tank rounds so they wouldn't kill in one shot,now you want animations to help support that idiotic playstyle,this was done with two shot deci kills,surgile,jackhammer ammo boxes, the hotdrop animation and so many other things that I can't list them all.it was the same logic every time,it killed me so I want it nerfed,it was challenging so plz remove it SOE and this crap went on until the pops died

the end result was ppl quit playing, they got tired of watching the forum whiners and the devs destroy a game we all loved and moved on and left the game behind.

now i see the same type of thinking all over these forums before the game has even been played,the idea that the devs are reading this crap and might be paying attention is terrifying.

Maybe you could enlighten me on what empire sanc locked the other two first... OH MY GOD, IT WAS TR MARKOV.

Not one person in my outfit ever complained about things needing to be nerfed. We went toe to toe with you guys every time. While you were Reaver spamming and bailing out in agile, we were slamming bases four Galaxies deep with greater skill than you could ever hope for.

This back and forth bickering is getting us no where. Just prepare your anus for PS2. Hope to be the ones to slaughter your first hot drop attempt.

But like I said before, definitely going to spec in leadership.

I'm going to be a medic

This whole thread is off topic! shut it down!

Okay, I gotta ask now. Is there a chance my membership in Ht might be reinstated?

[Baron]

Without any knowledge of how things will actually be, I'd say I would spec the following:

1) Gunner (Mustardseed driving the skyguard / tank )

2) Support Pilot (Gal, Lib, whatever multi-crew flying things are out there)

[Khrusky]

I think I'm going to spec leadership and whatever the equivalent of a mosquito will be in this game (where VTOL > scout aircraft).
I'd ideally be commanding an air cav platoon, but I'll probably cut my teeth showing people how PlanetSide is different to other FPSs, then moving up to air support/ air recon squads.
If I have the time making use of the new outfit mechanics would be awesome :D

[Aractain]

I love to AA. Theres nothing so satisfying as being so weak, so useless and actually taking down someone that likes to fly.

They will probably make it so that air can kill AA again but as long as my AA is fun - not lockon crap then Ill be happy with a few dead veterans.

[Talek Krell]

I can't pick. I want to do all of the things. :(

Magrider and Lib pilot FTW.

But yeah, mostly those.

[Talon]

I will be in the role of fucking your shit up. Whatever that may turn out to be. ;)

Amen to that! haha, I will be a sniper or just a vehicle driver what ever comes first.

ExpendableCrewMember here,
I plan to continue my play style from ps1, MI (mobile infantry) and also a MAX user.

[exLupo]

Been thinking about it and if ground transport is something that you can actually specialize I may go that route. I always enjoyed hauling ass and dodging cannon fire.

If not that then part of me wants to do infil stuff again but the other part of me, the part that thinks they'll just screw infils up again, is going to go some sort of infrastructure support. Engi with all the bells and whistles. The hints and winks they gave when talking about towers makes me think engineers are going to be able to do some cool stuff out there.

This thread really got some dong waggling swagger for a while.

[FuzzyLogic]

Unsure of precisely how the class system will be working but aiming to be a combat medic, possibly with some engineering thrown in to repair armour also.

A support grunt basically.

Likewise, with the added exception of being a pilot just to see how the new flight physics in game play out and if they are truly genuine..

[exLupo]

Man, if the flight model is as "real" as they say I'll have to stay far away. Professional burning wreckage.
