coffins

[OmnipotentKiwi]

Repeat after me....
THIS IS A GAME

I am sure they did it for technical reasons, in reality, you would leave your corpse, but that makes the healers think they can rez you, which confuses them. Also, gives you a COMPLETE distinction over the dead and the released. If we want reality 1 death and it is, otherwise let it be.

lol, it will be funny shooting down a fully loaded galaxy, and see like 13 or so coffins fall from the sky....

and waht happens if they land on you? lol.... AHHHHH We need back up!! Were getting killed by flying coffins!! Run for your life!!!! lolololol

[ABRAXAAS]

Yeah it would be funny to see a whole squad suicide and *pop* a shwackload of coffins strewn about......im sorry but im having hard time gettin passed the coffins

[Flameseeker]

I think after you die you become a body, then you wait for a medic to revive you. When you decide to stop waiting, you pick a spawn point, (ex: nearby AMS) then you turn into a coffin. It can be looted until you respawn. That's my guesstimate. I'm 75% sure I'm right.

they better look all awesomesweettightl33tness or they are gonne criticized like a female dog

[ABRAXAAS]

are the coffins gonna have a physical pressence,IE: can you run into them in vehicles or stand on em or hide behind em for cover ? .......so gay

[Hamma]

They are not big enough to be used for cover. And I dont think they have a "physical" presense

[SGDreyton]

They are very low the ground, so you couldn't hide under them.

From the GS video, it looks as if the guy just walks 'through' it. I would assume they do not effect vehicles or walking.

like fire_monkey said, it will not become a coffin. it will not be like AoC where they become a grave

[Deadlock]

the coffin thing could be worse, it could be some poor grunts job to go out and dig a hole for the coffins. sorta the equivalent to peelin potatoes for ur outfit, so count ur blessings

[Nydes]

nah its the future!! coffins are above ground you dont bury them =)

hehe well i think its a weird idea, but i dont really mind, walking around all of a sudden you come up to a HUGE field of coffins.. that'd be scary... big battle took place there recently...

[ABRAXAAS]

well ive just accepted it, i dont like it but its part of planetside,its like a really hot chick thats got this really anoying quirk but you do her anyways cause she's hot and deep down, you love her anyways so you just live with it ....and yah

Has anyone here who doesn't like coffins ever played another multiplayer FPS? Does you body stay around forever? No, it disapears and leaves something behind.

In TFC it left a backpack, in Counterstrike it leaves your gun and in BF 1942 it leaves your class kit. Many games leave something around for others to use when you die, this game is nice because it even allows you to wait until the timer runs out, or you choose to respawn. A coffin is just a different way of doing it.

In EQ they left bodies, but u could toggle whether or not u wanted to see the bodies. On big raids that go really bad there are so many bodies litering the floor...

The coffin thing for me isn't such a big deal. Think of em as nano coffins. Its a health issue.

coffins are stupid
