Since Sunderers were mentionned (<3):

Q: Will PS2 vehicle interface to manage passengers be improved in PS2 ? (ex: "drop all passengers" key))

Q:Will sunderers finally get ejectable seats to aim & propel passengers above walls ? (ie. be the ground Galaxy)

-----
I'm really interested in that mounting explosive on vehicles part (and also about getting more details on vehicles hitboxes). I never played the recent BF games but from what I remember in BF2142, vehicles never had an important role like in PS.

I know all of you guys live for the intense large-scale infantry fights (I <3 <3 <3 them too) but my heart is one of vehicles crew ! I'm really curious to learn how vehicles will fit in a fight and how they can be balanced.

Vehicle wise, I found PS1 really fun; BF2142 not so much. I enjoyed both but PS definitely would be the winner for me if I had to choose.

With F2P allowing you to train on multiple accounts, do you worry/care about people farming characters to be sold on Ebay?

Will you share a list of voice macros with us, before you start recording? Afterwards it might be late to add stuff we need.

And thus the entire VS army was unexpectedly wiped out by a single cloaker... with a handheld mirror

Hey Basti,

Can you add these to the list if possible?

Q: When are we likely to see the official Planetside 2 Forums
Q: Will we be able to buy the game directly from SOE via a digital download

Cheers.

Here's one: is it the case that the present JH does NO damage to anyone but whoever the aimpoint is on, even if the pellets theoretically are spreading out and hitting others beside him?

If so, can we have a JH that damages more than one person at a time? If I shoot my JH at a crowd, I want to see all pellets doing damage, not just fewer doing damage to the primary target and the others mysteriously vanishing.

Keep em coming guys.
Im home in an hour, will then listen to the lunch thingy, and remove redundant questions.
From the few minutes I did listen yet, it seems like a good bunch of questions is now dealt with, but new ones are in the air. So listen to the rec. :-)

basti · 2011-09-16, 09:11 AM

Okay, done.

Go guys, need new input, only a few hours left! :P

Bags prepared a summary of the recording. It's a bit rushed, especially towards the end, but it's pretty solid and I'm pretty sure everything's in there:

Nice work removing the redundancy's basti - will make it easier to dish out the questions.

FIREk · 2011-09-16, 09:53 AM

Here's a good one, I think:
Will the mission system (sometimes?) send faction A to defend location X, BEFORE sending faction B to attack that location?

Hasn't this also been answered in that latest interview?

Yes! Ask this.

Also, I'd love to see some kind of reward mechanic that rewards defenders who are in place before attackers show up. My PS1 suggestion along these lines was bonus XP and CEP for kills made inside a friendly SOI for the first few minutes of an assault. I'm hoping missions can provide similar bonuses for people who take up pre-emptive defense missions that prove stategically valuable (i.e., an attack comes).

That way, it's not only automatically generated missions that can deliver this.

Will aircraft engine failure and crashing return? Please say yes

Will it be possible to dodge missiles this time? Chaff/flares/ECM?

Flight ceiling?

I think this was already mentioned and they said that there will be no ceiling.

I believe it's going to be BF style where you die of pressure overload if you get too high.
