What did I miss? I can't watch something that long, even with the short cuts.

Vets and newbies talking about the game, then chats with the dev team. Was pretty sweet. Props to Hamma for getting it all together.

I think this interaction and this connection Hamma is fostering between the devs and the community through PSU is something really special. The more we can warm up to each other the more we can work as a team or casually hang out. I believe Planetside 2 will become great because of this.

Thank you PSU and SOE for making this happen!

Great first beacon. Fresh faced new to planetside people were good. Great having Smed and Co. Would be nice to have fresh Vets (i tend to skip that bit).

I enjoyed it. Not being able to play PS2 left me with too much free time this weekend :P

Hopefully gonna have another monitor up soon so I can actually watch while playing.

My outfit is new to Planetside and for the past month we ran a poll to decide what faction to go after trying them all out. It closed tonight and Vanu won. Sorry I'll be throwing my batteries at you.

I'm sad I missed question time. I am very sad no one asked about support class gadgets. We need more.

Well the plus side is that the NC got the least amount of votes. It was a tight race between TR and VS. It was kind of funny because people campaigning for TR or VS were trying to get NC votes to switch to bump up their own factions.

It is common knowledge that the NC got screwed in the weapons category.

However I have been NC since 03'.

It would be wrong to turn my back on my comrades at this point.

NC have fun weapons. I don't think they're that bad.

One thing I loved from this interview was Smedley denouncing unpracticed failure pilots.

I love a challenging flight model that has idiosyncrasy about it, and I'm glad to hear that will stay. It's so much more rewarding, and fun (long term especially) to really have to practice and figure it out.

A look at the bare weapons stats begins to illustrate the severe problems with the NC weapons.

Meh .. I feel like I get a lot of kills just running around with a pistol.

IMO - be smart about movement and flow of battle and you can cleanup with anything that goes pew pew. I played NC exclusively during beta and never had an issue with any class / weapon.

(not to suggest that gun stats don't matter, but if there is a 'severe' issue, I didn't notice it)

edit: Smeds 'open' development idea is amazing. I'm genuinely surprised that a company the size of SOE is pioneering in this ...

Is that Greywolves of Dark Skyes back in like 04 legacy in the vet panel? Man he got all grown up.

Completely agree with Hamma's concern about the new player experience.

Love the show.


So no water tubes to follow behind our Magriders? ;) I would love ride of the valkyries while my magrider dragged a squad of water skiers across a lake/large river.:lol:

In a more serious note i would also like to see a totally overgrown continent where your moving through the trees.

I've nearly watched the whole thing, thanks for posting the recording as I didn't catch it live. Agree with some stuff, have long rants on others. But! There is something that needs to be addressed NOW.

Higby said that he wanted to try porting a PS1 cont directly into PS2 and said that Oshur is the cont he wants to try it with.
THIS IS A HORRIBLE IDEA.
And here's why:
Back before Battle Islands replaced Oshur there was a poll of the players which cont was their least favorite. Ceryshen got first place but it was kept because the old devs wanted to keep it as Cery has radically different terrain. Oshur was number 2 and got the boot.
Porting old Oshur into PS2 as a test if it would work is a bad idea as its one of the worst PS1 conts.

(also please don't make the next cont a square and since water is in pull the out of bounds limits back a bit)

Higby! I remember Radiskull!
