WTH, TR controles the whole Amerish on the screenshot?

Not Possibrrrrreee!!!!

[Mordelicius]

The tricky part with Amerish is the road system. The original was not conducive to battleflow at all in any form

[War Barney]

Woo! so we can expect the servers to actually do down at 4pm GMT then go back up at 1am as per standard soe policy? =p

[Calista]

I hope they lower Indar pop limit to something like 100 :lol:

Meh.. the one reason to actually log in (i haven't had any urge to play for few weeks now) is delayed... oh well, see you when those are in game i guess.

I downloaded the 1.7gb patch, restarted my client and there was another 40mb patch.

Just managed to get online and noticed that the lattice lines have not appeared.

I haven't had time to check if Amerish itself has been updated and it's just the lattice lines missing from the map... I'll have to wait until tomoz now cos I'm off to beddybies :D

Edit:-

Just seen MH's latest tweet and it's just the lattice not showing, which they will fix without any further downtime, apparently

[Snoopy]

Yep, they've fixed it.

[bpostal]

I'm a fan of the new bases, the caves at the Ascent are pretty cool to fight through. Most every base I've seen has put obvious thought and concessions to better the flow of a fight. I also got killed multiple times because I was gawking at the new area and not paying attention; Damn those dirty Infils.

There's even an area south of Kwahtee Mountain someething or another that straight up gave me flashbacks of fighting in between the trees on Solsar. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I was playing Planetside.

[capiqu]

I love the new Amerish. I was very exited as I explored the test server and I wasn't dissapoint in live play. It feels so much like Planetside1. Especially fighting from tree to tree, it felt much like Forseral.
Also, whats with Matterson and the constant 40%+ VS pop?

[synkrotron]

I'm looking forward to my first outing to Amerish this afternoon then :D

Sounds like there's plenty of gawking to do, in which case I might cert up that stalker cloak so I'm at least invisible while in gawk mode haha

[ChipMHazard]

What I'm most interested in finding out is what people think of the new indoor areas. Here to stay and more please or not so much?

Absolutely, I love the new warehouse/garage type structures and the underground tunnel fights like the "A" point at Ascent or South Khawatee Mountain are a thrill to fight at.


Probably the most "interesting" of these underground infantry zones is the Subterranean Nanite facility on the eastern most lattice lane of Amerish. It's a facility with two shield generators protecting the core of the base, 3 levels below the surface - You have to nock out each generator to peel away another level of the facility.

This facility is absolutely awesome to fight around but extremely frustrating with how easily the enemy can get past attackers.

My squad was joined by just short of two platoons worth of pubs, 48+ TR, 87% of the facility population versus a single NC squad and we couldn't take it, at all. The NC kept pulling vehicles from Xelas and picking off our Sundys while all the troops were stuck pushing underground to A point. More or less we were probably really bad just focusing on exploring the new base rather then playing tactically, but even with such number differences you'd expect the defenders to have a little more of a struggle to defend... It was completely a one sided fight.


I'd love it if the defenders teleporters or elevators were disabled after the second generator is nocked out, or rather then a elevator/teleport straight to the surface perhaps a long tunnel from the spawn that exits out somewhere 100m away from the base to spread out the fighting from these 3 very small and cramped levels. Ideally something like what was done with Khawatee South Mountain.

Overall this facility is fun because it feels like a mini-main facility.

Nice looking notes but I hope they dont screw the purge up. I mean how old is old?

That sounds awesome! Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the heads up Hereticus!
