That said, I would have prefered to see Idealab-esq stuff go in first. I don't want more, I want deeper.

I agree. balance will be the biggest challege. especcially with such collosal weaponry.

Easy thing to fix, balance-wise.

1 BFR = 70% NTU drain.

Rolling out multiple BFR's from one base would require massive teamwork for the obtaining of NTU's, and open the base to attack on grounds of attrition.

I've said it before and it bears repeating, i whould rather they had redesigned bases to be more defensable, but that whouldnt generate press.

Who wants to bet that the tr mech will be like this?

BUGGER · 2004-07-19, 12:27 AM

Dude it hast to be redneck like, with a garbge can around its torso.

How the hell do they come out of the vehicle station?
How wide?
How will they sustane water damage?

And the biggest question, how the hell do the driver/gunners get into their damn spots?

I didn't read the whole thread, did the dev's comment in this thread? Has anyone mentioned it to the OF?

My only fear about this is it'll be really over protected. For anyone who's played shifter mod and used the herc, thats is what i fear.

The devs are trying to figure out what they are allowed to say, and are writing up some info.

lolol. I absolutely love how no one give a shit about the tr fixes now.

Indecisive · 2004-07-19, 01:22 AM

Someone in the OF posted what they are more then likely gonna do.

Mod (maybe mulitple mods.. You need all the mods?) in order to spawn them.

Im going to delay my subsrciption for Planetside until I see how these turn out on the battlefield. I have a bad feeling about the balancing issues with these.

The last thing I wanna see is every fucking soldier armed with a Rocket weapon.

THIS IS THE DEATH OF MA WEAPONS FOLKS!!! Not to mention Transport vehicles will be used less.

negative.

destroy their medical facilities.

I personally think that this upgrade, along with some kind of towable artillery and deployable manned Anti-armor and anti-infantry weaponry would make it so that transports and MA would be just as useful..

fact is, not everyone can drive one of those puppies, and also, you get enough infantry you can really take 'em down. BUT, you need infantry to defend 'em as well. MA goes apeshit. 1337 squad warfare and Midrange combat.

Also, the deployables mean more locations around the map that need assaulted/destroyed/overtaken. I don't know if they'll include that with this Mech upgrade as well, but they should. It's the only true way to balance the new PS secenario out. IMO

yes, that's a double post, and this here's a triple post.

if anyone says anything then they're automatically a loser face doofus head.

slytiger · 2004-07-19, 01:43 AM

With all of these comments about "MA weapons are gonna be dead" and "infantry will be useless". I ask you how do you capture a facility in planetside? You have to hack it dont you? Who hacks it? Infantry, thats right infantry. So infantry are really gonna be useless arnt they? Will the weapons status change? Outside they may, but not inside. At this point you really cant say anything about something you havent recieved official conformation on by the devs.

Possibly one of the most, interesting PSU threads I have read about Planetside.
As soon as those things come out I'm resubscribing!

Spee · 2004-07-19, 02:08 AM

90% Im gonna join CDL....Only active Clan I really know people from.

And Ill probably stay over a month this time, guys!

OMG start teh presses. Anyways i think that people are taken back, so thats why they don't care. This is a PR's dream if you think about it. People taken up and totally ignore the blemishes of other things.
