Re: Planetside 2 is the most Claustrophobic MMO, needs more bigger facilies/Cover


I submitted a question to PSNO when the guy who designed Esamir was on. My question was "the original Esamir was a snowy continent but it also included trees so what was the thinking behind deciding not to include trees this time around", alas it was one of the questions that wasn't addressed.


ps I like Esamir and I had no axe to grind with the question, I just thought it would be interesting to hear the answer from a perspective of trying to understand the designers reasoning for the decisions they make.

Indeed, even Indar and Amerish could use some more trees to make actual forest instead of botanical garden arboretums...

Northern Indar does pretty good with dunes and various seabed fossils everywhere; sparse, but what is there is good for Infantry to hole up in to avoid enemy fire.

Esamir on the other hand could make do with more trenches, dunes, crevasse, and Crystal outcrops of various size
