Re: Nexus Battle Island Revealed
If you are to leave the lattice, boat around enemy lines, redeploy someplace and start fighting up towards someone's rear... you have to have the ability to get yourself resupply, which ideally means getting a base... which means LLUs or something to that effect. I would like to note that LLUs are confirmed as being a thing... according to people I tend to listen to, that listened to more of the MLG casts than I did. But, the sticking point will be player input. If they are some kind of alert style random event, I think it'll kill it, unless the way to initiate the whole thing, is player action, and the only objective given is: "Okay, you have lowered the base to 0 resource, here is a computer core from the warpgate, get it to the base in question and we're golden". |

Re: Nexus Battle Island Revealed Their performance on making previous continents has probably lead them to decide on working something with less commitment on the smaller scale so they can figure out what works in that area quicker. Or to move towards things that they can pull more knowledge off of something else. |

Re: Nexus Battle Island Revealed If Nexus has 11 outposts on it does that mean it has a lattice?

Re: Nexus Battle Island Revealed Doesn't really say but if you watch this from the MLG stream and start watching at the 3:53:00 mark (the interview runs to 4:28:00) you can see Xanderclauss talk about Nexus... http://www.twitch.tv/planetside2/b/423548947 |

Re: Nexus Battle Island Revealed Doesn't this just mean the population will be spread out over loads of instances of these and the rest of the islands will become dead? This is basically like instances killing world PVP. |

Re: Nexus Battle Island Revealed i don´t wanna watch a single mlg related video because i have zero interest in all of this. so have i missed a dev saying anything about instancing anything in the full game? i always assumed the battle islands will just be smaller continents with a smaller player cap than the main conts. i don´t care what they will be in mlg matches because those don´t affect the mainservers in any way. but if the battle islands are planned to be implemented as instanced shit, so everybody can open up their own nexus, ps2 just lost the last little bit of credibility and i consider it dead. |

Re: Nexus Battle Island Revealed My thoughts exactly. Made me cringe when i saw that on the trailer. Looking at the outlook of the game now and how it's progressed/progressing.... i'd say they want it to be cod/bf rather than planetside. |

Re: Nexus Battle Island Revealed That's why I put the time references to the pertinent info in my post. It's a 30 minute interview starting at 3:53:00 or so and goes to 4:28:00 |

Re: Nexus Battle Island Revealed I'm fairly certain someone said Nexus has a lattice while I was out at MLG but I don't remember whom. |

Re: Nexus Battle Island Revealed Yes in the interview with Maggie, Xander said there is and the max. number of links to any facility is 3 so most of the time you are just going straight through from one to another. |
