Do you remember a website called www.planetsideststats.net ? this was and awesome website for tracking daily stats etc which you failed miserably to support and the person who set up this awesome website had to finish it because of the lack of support he got from you guys . I would like to see a similar website where there will be daily leader-boards where players can check there kills and xp aswell as outfit xp . best outfit of the day etc , and what will you be doing to prevent another cyssorside on a daily basis , because if you had not of noticed from the original game , that's why a lot of people stopped playing

Please don't assume you speak for everyone when you when you in fact are speaking of yourself when you post this stuff. In fact, quite a lot of us do enjoy these stories as has been clearly stated in multiple threads.

As for your other stuff. The devs have already confirmed that there will be numerous and indepth stat tracking methods and hooks so as to reach as many mediums as possible as well as to track players usage of weapons, vehicles and actions so they can have a clear picture of how best to persue the future of Planetside2, and that there will be a whole new way to play PS2 in the form of capturing land, resources, and territory rather than just hopping from base to base. It's a whole new dynamic in fact. They have also stated that they will be telling us when the beta is coming so a little patience will go a long way. In regards to info on the JH, it has already been confirmed it is returning, and as no other info has been released on other Empires weapons..... well learn to wait.

Also out right blaming higs and his team for not supporting your favorite stat tracker and blaming them for past actions of a previous dev team seems a bit....idiotic eh? What with the whole fact they were not in charge of PS1 and what not.

I always wondered about that. I guess he also became more lazy than you could ever imagine?

I nominate Marsman.

The woman called again a month later. He had just been fired from his latest job and was desperate. He agreed to meet her. He was about to hang up when she asked, “Are you willing to travel?” He nodded yes. She continued. “Not for just an hour or two. A minimum of two years. Possibly three.”

Am I the only one who notices this genius nods on the phone?

Yeah, no. They are video phones:


"On February 18, 2631, Henry received a call from a woman looking for a dog walker. The vid-screen showed the scowling face of an older woman dressed in a very formal business suit."

Yes! I think a female voice actor would be better though, an airy one.

I personally think they should hire an actual editor/story writer and have a full time posting of new articles like this, I love sci-fi stories and really thinks that Planetside is lacking a story like this- TOR and other games even like BF3 have a backstory, usually through singleplayer... but it's still there ya know?

Although the writing kinda sucked for this last story, it seems like a cool story none the less and could definitely see it portrayed as a movie possibility.

I think they should launch sci-fi books based in this universe. I played MechWarrior because I wanted to experience what I was reading in the Battletech series.
