What the heck is this big Dome thing? (Pic Included)

Anyone?

I saw the corner of a structure simliar to this in other screenshots and thought that it might be how the game handles load zones, but this is far to small to simply be a new zone to load. What is it? A forcefield around a base? Some sort of protective cover?

Please help!

And if you want to know about the PC version of halo, look at my most recent post in This thread (http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3990)

[LiquidThunder]

OMG EVERYONE'S A FRIGGIN NEWB THE GAME ISN'T OUT YET

..moron.


Sorry if I haven't read EVERY freaking peice of info out there. I've read the official faq and the faq on this website and I don't remember anything about a warp gate, maybe I missed it?

Anyway, what does a warp gate do?

And please, if you're just going to call me a lame internet insult, refrain from posting.

Culkid your an idiot. Hes a recruit, get over it.

Its a warp gate, and actually yes, that is how planetside handles zoning. These will take you to other continents. And nice pic, havnt seen that one.

[culkid]

OMG WHAT DOES A *"WARP"* gate do?? i aint even gonna answer... dude if u have looked at pics, u would know it is a warpgate because in the caption it says it

[LiquidThunder]

ahh ok, so you step in that and can choose which continent to go to or something like that?

Neat, thanks for the info man
-LT

edit: obviously I understand that it WARPS you somewhere dumbass, I was interested in SPECIFICS, such as "does it warp you between contients, bases, zones, etc"

Uggghhhhh I hate the internet. You get a cookie if you can tell me what the weather is like outside today without going and checking after me asking.

[MooKoo]

ya i haven't found that pic either where you get it

[culkid]

i am still laughing at, "what does a *!@#WARP#@!* gate do

[culkid]

i have seen that before,, came out some time this week

[Tobias]

It is indeed a warp gate.
Warpgates game function: To transport you from one cont to another faster then drop pods. You can also take vehicles though warp gates.
You can not fire weapons in warp gates and there is no collision so while in one you cant be hurt.
Warp gates power vehicles.

They also look spiffy.

Thats it for now.

Your caps lock key is on the left, And dont flame people if you like using these forums

:banplz:

[Hurtya]

hmmm... i wonder if it was modeled off of the EQ wizard spires at all?? :confused:

[culkid]

sorry bout that admin, but isnt it common sense at what does a warp gate do?

[Tobias]

No, its not.
He did not know, he asked a question, and we should do our best to answer it in a correct and friendly mannor, not flame him and call him a newbie.

[Hurtya]

amen tobias.

[LiquidThunder]

thanks guys

I'm no stranger to message boards so I'm used to the requisite 12 yr old addicted to his caps lock key. I can deal with it, doesn't bother me.

One day he'll learn that he doesn't have to put people down to feel better about himself, or at the very least he'll realize that doing so when relating to VIDEO games on a MESSAGE BOARD is pretty much the lowest of the low. Like I said though, doesn't bother me.

Thanks anyway though :), and thanks for the info on warp gates.

Next time make an effort to explain to the newbie what it is, I didnt know a warp gate when i first heard of it, So make an effort, And dont flame

[LiquidThunder]

Indeed, most people would hardly consider the function of a planetside warp gate to be known as "common sense".

Flaming someone for askig a question politely is, however, an exemplory antonym for said "common sense"

[culkid]

YOU DONT THINK IT IS COMMON SENSE TO KNOW WHAT A WARP GATE IS!!! GOD DAMMIT..... the keyword is warp.. now i wonder... r u people stupid.. cant wait to own u all

[Flameseeker]

Culkid, you have posted the most retarded questions of anyone I have ever seen on this site. DO NOT FLAME NEW PEOPLE. Some people might have a reason to, but you were/are the clueless newb most of the time. If it's common sense, go ask your mom or dad what a Planetside warpgate is. Heck even let them read as much info as they can without using Message boards first. The dome is a safe-zone where you appear after using the gate. Did you know that culkid? Warpgates link up with corresponding gates on other continents. The "Jimbo" warpgate on Forestor will warp you to the "Jimbo" warpgate on NC Sanct. I don't think you get to choose. You have to hop from continent to continent. I'm calling for a culkid ban. :banplz:

[Camping Carl]

I concur, culkid should be banned.

Culkid, I've asked you once in this SAME thread. DO NOT FLAME! I cant gurantee you will be able to use these forums much longer if you continue your antics

[Hellsfire123]

Why does this sound familiar? I seem to remember another thread that turned out much like this one......

[Pilgrim]

wanna have fun go back and search on culkid and look at all the billiant little gems of questions he came up with..


such as

"one of the weapons looks like it has a grenade launcher attached to it.. has my dream come true?"

and let's not forget

"i think this is the supposed to be 4th empire
http://www.planetside-universe.com/....php?img_id=183

it cant be terran because that person is brown"


And then the wonderful

"why cant 1 empire use another empires weapons?? you mean to tell me that the one empire cant pull the trigger from another empires weapon? i think that is ridiculous"

So it seems that WAYYYY back three weeks ago Culkid knew next to nothing, heck I knew the answer to all these.

So anyone feeling bad because CulKid things they're dumb... hehehe

[Hellsfire123]

I knew this sounded familiar.....

Culkid you and I need to have a talk on AIM, our outfit doesn't need a member banned for acting crazy... Is something wrong with you today I haven't ever seen you act like this?

[Cuthulhu]

Little Question about the warp gates since were on the topic.
Do you have to enter the very center to use the gate or can you just enter anywhere along the dome and it auto sends you.
Basicly im asking exactly how they work in game.
I also know what they are for so no need for the explaination with it.

[korezero]

Nope, I believe you can fly anyway into it and it will warp you to another continent... :)

[Hellsfire123]

Actually i believe you have to enter the center. Its fairly big, so dont worry about crashing. I say this becuase weapons are locked inside warpgates, so you have to get into them. Also, someone said fly to the center of the gate to travel, caption on a SS from awhile back. Also in the new screens you can see the message Leaving Warpgate Field, weapons are now live.

Edit: i say also alot....

To anyone confused about what i said, my information came from Screen shots only. Either by ingame messages or captions for the shot itself.

[korezero]

Oh, Okay.. New info to me

Culkid, you are acting like an immature kid. When you were a recruit, not too long ago. I remember you asking similar questions. And as Hellsfire said, you are the one posting that "omg there are caskets in this game!!".

I will continue to report all of your flames, and hope that you are banned, and that the forums will be more newb friendly.

[Hellsfire123]

:stupid: as always

[�io]

:nod:

And man those warpgates are pretty. :D

[korezero]

Enormous too :D

Thx for the Info Hellsfire

Gentlemen,

Warpgates are huge indeed, and inside the bubble all weapons are safed. So you can use a warpgate bubble as a rally point for defeated troops or assault forces prior to advancing into a new continent. Each warpgate will go to only one continent. Each continent as 4 warpgates except for Searhus which has three, and the Sanctuaries which also have three. The arrangement of warpgates actually makes an easily understandable diagram of two nested hexagons. Warpgate lock can be accomplished by conquering all the facilities on a continent and this has apparently been made easier by lowering the number of facilities to 9 or 10. Warpgate lock means that all warpgates become the property of that particular empire and enemy forces cannot use the warpgates to enter the locked continent, although they _can_ use them to exit the continent.

Warpgate lock can be accomplished without conquering all of the gun, watch, and vehicle towers. Some of those same towers, of course, could be used as rally points by enemy droppod forces in an attempt to "unlock" the continent.

culkid chill out bro.

Unless you have somthing to post which actually helps the thread instead of being counter-productive. Dont bother posting at all
