Let me restart my stupid thought

[fishirboy]

I was thinking of a new world that had the 3 factions still war-ing over aria but there would be a 4th type of animal or something that just wanted to eat people so it would go around and attack CC's because that is were the most people are, they could become more active at night and have larger numbers. Ti would make it so that maybe in the middle of a fight between TR and NC there starting to get over run and turn there attention to the animals instead of each other to survive.

No. Just...no.

No. Just...no.

i know lots of people just want to kill each other, its a stupid idea i got of zombie things were if you wanted to surviv or valued your life in PS2 you would like to stop some other thing from kill you so you just team up with your enemy to kill a greater one haha :lol:

It has been talked about before. PS1 almost had animals but it was only in an alpha build.

I would like to see some form of wild life AI in the game. If it's is going to be part of the war however it needs to be scripted well imo.

Here's a starter thread with link to big thread for u: http://www.planetside-universe.com/showthread.php?t=40735&highlight=NPC

thank you just an idea that probably will be hated on. :groovy:

AI in Planetside is a dumb idea. Wild life (outside of maybe insects or birds for strictly environmental purposes) is a dumb idea. If you want to kill NPCs, go play any of the many other MMOs out there. I don't understand why this keeps coming up. This idea and probably the rehashing of BFRs are the two worst ideas.

I totally understand wanting something AI so that you can fill the down times or just for a change go out and fight something other than the base battles.

I think that the huge downside to that is that everyone fighting AI is not fighting people. PS2 is going to be successful as long as there's enough population to make it exciting. Splitting of any decent portion takes away from the conflict can only hurt the game.

If the vision of an MMOFPS PvP is valid then I think they should stay true to the vision. At least until it's either shown to be strong enough to survive this kind of thing, or until it's shown that it needs something else to survive.

I'm against any kind of tournament thing, like outfit vs outfit for the same reason, but I'd rather see that over AI.

PS2 is pvp game. No pve please.

Peeps would just abuse that "4th faction" to grind xp and resources without engaging in real combat. Bad stuff.

[kaffis]

Firefall and Defiance are duking it out over the PvE MMOFPS space. Let them, and focus instead on PvP.

[ringring]

Lovely.

I agree, some wildlife would be nice but as you say purely for environmental purposes, making it feel more like a living world beyond the eternal war. But they should play no part in gameplay beyond getting caught in the crossfire occasionally and give no xp etc when they do. As a result this would obviously be a long way down the devs list of priorities if its on there at all.
