So tonight is the much anticipated IRC chat with Dave G., and I was wondering what the burning questions on everyones minds were?

Here's a few of the things that have kept me up at night....

1) How will the Tech Trees work for learning new skills? Will there be even be Tech Trees?

2) How far in advance should a player start planning the type of charecter they want to play? Will I need to make that decision the first day, or will I get the chance to try a variety of things in the lower ranks, and then persue what interests me when I want to specialize?

3) Let's say that I want to be a Heavy Armor guy. How soon would I be able to get the suit? Will It take time to accuire one? If so does that mean that Initially there will be no Heavy Armor Units, and they will only become available after players achive suffient rank?

4) How's it feel to start the season 0-5? (for the St. Louis Dev's from a 49ers season ticket holder :D)

So as you can tell most of my thoughts have to do with the mysterious BEP & CEP systems sice little has been revield about how they will work.

Anyway, now you know what's on my mind, what are you thinking about?

That it has... too quiet, if you ask me... This either means PlanetSide will be the uberist uber game in the whole damn uber world... or it'll never make it through an Electronics Boutique doorway... I pray that's not the case.... I'd hope they're much too far in development to scrap it, but it HAS been awfully quiet...

But I didn't know the Devs were gonna be on IRC!!! DAMN! I gotta be there. :D

I haven't seen any screen shots of soldiers going prone, I thought I'd raise this issue in the dev chat (it may lead to a more slow paced game, but it'd be cool IMO :p) and guess what? I completely forgot :rolleyes:

I had a question about the implants, that didn't quite make it into the chat. I was wondering if Implants could "Stack" and become more powerful. Such as the "Darklight Vision", can you get this implant multiple times, and if so will the range it allows you to see cloaked players in be increased?

For Reference
Darklight Vision: Greatly reduces your normal visibility while simultaneously shifting your perceptions to allow you to see cloaked enemies in an area around you.

Makes sense when Dave puts it that way, amazing what a simple search on the PSI forum can come up with. I didn't think it'd be in game or we'd have seen it already, no biggie. Thanks for digging that up Incompetent :cool:
