PlanetSide Day Events Tomorrow

[Hamma]

For PlanetSide day Sunday no scripted events no black ops. Reset conts to neutral at 12am and let us duke it out old school. Who’s with me?

[Marsgrim]

Yes please - no events!

[p0intman]

No events, at all. Damn good idea there.

[Geist]

I'm for it. :D

[Gholan]

Yes!

[MyMeatStick]

No Black ops or other random events during our Streaming operations please! :)

[elementHTTP]

Live stream on twitch ? And when ? (timezone pls :D)

[Higby]

Yeah, we're not planning on running anything on Sunday, just participating in what is sure to be a complete NC dominion. We were thinking about doing something on old Oshur, but it ended up not being in the cards =|

[Hamma]

yay thanks Higby :D Good to hear. Most returning for this event want some old school fights. :)

[MasterCalaelen]

:(

I love old Oshur, my favorite continent in the game and it's been years and years and years since I've stepped foot on it.

[Hobbes148]

Awesome, Im for some old school 3 way fights... think that would be better to events.
Played since beta and for the first year but off and on since then...

Hobbes256 with the TR of course :P

[JeffBeefjaw]

Vanilla Planetside please, this is the communities event remember ;)

Would love to see the devs out there tho, on non BO toons...

concidering we had 4 (FOUR!) poplocks for vanu just right now after ceryshen defence ended, you may want to figure something out for tommorow quick.

We have way to much people online. Even i cant figure out what to do, and i made it my hobby to direct large forces and find the best possible target, and that since 2005.

Yet, with 5 poplocks, you end up with whole new problems. And its awesome :D

Yet, this was today. Tommorow is planetside day, and i expect a CRAPLOAD more people, to the point that the server may be actually 100% full. I have no idea if the server can even in theory hold that amount of people, but in case it gets to the point that any empire got more people online than bases to attack: sanc force everybody, then neutral every continent, then let people go to those conts.

This would be the ultimate battle, the ultimate test for all empires. Whoever ends up with more bases in the end shall be declared the one true winner of the war of auraxis, for all eternity.

But for the love of god, speak with Nobel/francko/me/kytten/morto before you do it, and dont just spam a scripted event when a player event is coming up. as much fun Ceryshen was, i wanted more air battle. :/

Good to hear, no event's. About the complete NC dominion, will only happen if you degrade all NC CR5's to 4.

[StumpyTheOzzie]

I like the idea of resetting it all to neutral. And give everyone a free re-cert too :)

[Graywolves]

Yeah pop locks are getting intense. My outfit and I ended up leaving the 'Take Forseral for tech we've condemned' event because we had guys waiting in queue forever.

[Rago]

What made Higby such a Dreamer ?
The Gemini Effect ? :p

[MaxoramaUSMC]

I just witnessed 9 full TR gals in the Sanc. Brought a tear to my eye and made blood rush to the dick

[Baneblade]

Burn the cards and bring out a new deck.

Not all of us are bad.

So much for that. BREWKO drained Amerish, so it looks like you guys don't communicate or he supercedes you. I'd like to think this isn't foreshadowing for PS2 =p.

[Higby]

That was a specific request from the community organizers of the event (i.e. Morto). We were just trying to solve problems and help things run smoothly, the continent was poplocked and people couldn't get ANTs so we spawned a few of those too.

[Hamma]

Damn that Morto always up to shenanigans!!

[Meatball Mobeus]

Highlight of my night? When I Osed Higby :D

[Aaron]

When will the official parade video be uploaded?

[Ailos]

When will the official parade video be uploaded?

All 2 minutes of it?

[Bravix]

I Pulsar'd him :p and then sent him a twitter pic of it but no reply :'(

[MooK]

I saw a lot of angst, which I think may have contributed negatively to the later event ("stop messing with our battles!")

I would have liked to have seen a lot more love for the people who basically got us all a free thirty day send off. I ended up missing out on a lot of fun due to the pop locks. Although, when I ran into ~150 TR during the "parade," it was crazy.

To be honest, wasn't the cleverest of ideas... Should have done it on a cont that DIDN'T have population on it, then you know - people could have brought ANTs...

[Higby]

We didn't choose the cont, the time or anything else. Populations were heavy everywhere and Amerish was picked for the event at the last minute. Morto asked on the stream for us to zero out the cont, it was his event, so we did it. Today was 100% community driven and it was amazing and fun, we only were facilitating as requested and only very limitedly.

Haters gonna hate, whiners gonna whine. It was AWESOME!

[I SandRock]

This.

Cant believe people bitch and moan when there's some unique fun to be had rather than the same old same old. Oh noes you mess with our fight which we've had for 9 years in a row..

Stuff a sock in it.

[JeffBeefjaw]

As nice as the parade was i don't think it was a patch on what the tr and then vs did in their own sanctuaries. BRTD rolled out all thier vehicles and BMC conga'd about 50 gals, in the end we all conga'd togehter was quite a site to behold. Great night all and amazing defence by the TR to be the ones holding Verica by the end of the 2 hours :)

[Ambient]

So many poplocks.

[Captain1nsaneo]

VS had 4 poplocks at one point and enough pop spread about for another 1 and a half. I would LOVE to see the total pop numbers for July 1st as I'm betting it's around 2000 people if the poplocks are still at 133 apiece.

IU think pop lock is still at 200 per empire per cont (increased a couple of days ago).

I also heard at one time that that 2,300 were in game and I'm betting that wasn't the high point.

[GhettoPrince]

I actually had a fun time with it, even the stupid parade was fun once it started getting OS'd.

Sometimes, in this crazy land of Auraxis... You've got to be FREE. FREE to make the right decision. When times are tough, and the odds are against you, look toward the NC, for FREEdom over oppression.

[Crator]

They really needed to have two, or even three, conts with the same event due to populations! I waited about 30 minutes in the queue to get to the cont that you guys were doing the event on. I know Higby was on the NC egging us on in cont global. Did the other empires have DEVs doing the same?

[SGTalon]

I kill Higby Yesterday. So did a LOT of other people.

It was pretty cool to be playing PS with the Devs. I am going to enjoy my month of Planetside for sure. I was pretty happy to see that most of my old clan was still active. I actually had forgotten that i was still in one!

Great weekend of gaming, Great idea for the Planetside Day (weekend... month?)

And thank you very much SOE and PS Devs for making this happen.

[LexTalionis]

Yea, SOE and all the folks there who are paying attention to the PS community, Thank you. I had such a blast this weekend, and haven't gotten to play with many of the people that I saw online in yeeaaarrss. It's absolutely fantastic to see the game get resuscitated in this way before the release of the next one. Good job fellas. You won my loyalty as a customer and as a fan long ago, but this weekend definitely reinforced that position. Keep up the great work.

Guys you done a great job, people keep saying just fight as normal, well you all do that 24 hours a day 7 days a week, its nice to see things changed up a little. Also its hard to show the world what Planetside is all about, I think we done a great job.

Guys this was a nightmare to organise and stream, so sorry if we didn't hit every button you all wanted to be hit. But from my point of view and many others it was a massive success, and I would like to thank the devs for making the cont neutral. Of course we don't think we will have pop lock issues in Planetside 2, and events like this will be much easier to manage.

If you have any feedback for our events then you should post ideas and feedback on our forums @ PlanetsideTV.

Also remember this was a first! And it was all ran from 1 PC by 1 guy (and 2 cool commentators Meaty and Clegg) The devs helped out a ton, and to be honest for every 1 negative person I think there are hundreds of positive folks!

Stop giving these cool game designers grief, you don't know how lucky you guys are.

Again thanks to the devs for being super cool with all of it, it made the day that much sweeter!!!

Morto.

[Tulka]

this was the BEST day of gaming i have ever had, and i made sure to clear my LIFE for this one day so i could be on for the very most of it as my image shows
(im a little disgusted and somehow proud of myself for this)

thank you PS-U organizers and thank you PS devs for making all of this happen (even though i didn't get to SEE let alone shoot higby)

on behalf of C22, thank you everyone and we'll see you in PS2!

[SonjaBlade]

It was a great weekend, thanks for all that everyone did to make it fun. Players, Devs, PSTV, etc....

Good times, old friends. It's all fun and good!

[ComerEste]

Who ever was leading the Hossin parade was an idiot. Let's drive big ass vehicles through a tiny ass ravine UPHILL, all while the game was experience heavy rubber banding action. I got weapons lock in under 10 minutes from all the GD bumper car action.

Besides that mess, the highlight for me was killing Higby in my Reaver on Hossin, just north of the Interlink Facility Hurakan. I couldn't get a screen shot of it due to being under fire as soon as I started firing at him. :rofl:

[Zclipse]

Please do something about grief atm, there are so many people that it rises at a much faster rate than it decreases. No fun when you're in a crowded base and you get hit by a prowler for 50 grief and only lose 200 of it when you log back in the next day.

[Gonefshn]

We had a HUGE storm and the power at my house went out yesterday! :cry:

I seriously was so upset I was looking forward to the event and I couldn't get in. Very very unfortunate.

Glad to see it went well though! Looks like the parade was awesome!

I always did find it kind of unfair that the grief escalation system worked the same when getting hit by vehicles. And it does take too long imo for grief to go away....

[Wahooo]

Grief system is fine, stop throwing plasma and camping tower doors.

[Captain1nsaneo]

Grief system is fine, stop throwing plasma and camping tower doors.

Grief is based on damage done, grief level, and how recently your last hit was. (or at least those seem to be the major factors) They didn't get grief lock from throwing plasma or camping doors. They got it by being in a laggy environment and having friendly vehicles constantly bumping around into each other so that it was probably around +150 grief a paint nick. Really easy to get grief locked that way. It's a simple problem that the grief system wasn't built with this in mind and that's fine because this isn't normal operations and you are correct in your statement that the grief system is fine. But there's no real need for the insinuation in your post.

As for the time it takes grief to go away, it's fast to go away at grief level 0 (0-99) and goes more slowly beyond that (I think grief level 1 is 100-499 not sure though). Accidents do happen and crazy go nuts base fights can end up giving you lock if circumstance conspire properly. But back when we had multiple servers you could just change servers and your grief wouldn't follow you and you could continue playing although laggily.

There is one flaw in the PS grief system and it's that you basically get no grief for killing friendlies if you do it in one shot. A friendly OS on Vpad nets you about 10 grief if you hadn't gotten any recently. All systems have flaws and as far as what the goals of the grief system are I agree that it works quite well.
