Nice play Higby, and Zulthus also I usually remove those replies but it's just to well placed.

Dude, so no fair. That means VS all get 1337 epics by default.

Will there be Battlegrounds, or just open-world and instanced PvE? Also, I'm a bit shy around people - are all quests (besides raids) soloable, or do I have to play with others?

That's how it was implemented and used in the original, to the poit that I was usually told to just bail out of the galaxy after dropping the squad off. I'd like that to change.

Well, now your Gal will act as a transport, and perhaps a cloakable AMS after landing.

Even if the latter is not the case, being able to respawn those squadmates that have fallen to base defenses or mines will be a good enough reason to keep your Gal airborne for a few minutes at least.

That being said, PlanetSide vehicles (and everything else) are made by/from nanites spread across the world, which makes them ridiculously expendable. So in terms of "realism" it made sense for you to abandon your transport the moment it became useless.

Also, I obviously wanted to type in "Transport", not "Support"... Edited for correctness. I work at customer support and today is the last day of my vacation, so I seem to be thinking work already... :P

[Talek Krell]

Yeah. The idea is that I would like transports to be less useless. Gal spawning is an good move for that, since now there will be reason to keep and protect a gal instead of immediately abandon it.

1. where do Velociraptor Mounts drop?

2. Do we need to do a quest to unlock Death Knight?

There would be actually some epicness in a planetside themed MMORPG.

But more important right now: If we may suggest the theme for next weeks QnA and stuff: The World! We want to know what continents stay, what bases, and possible screenshots/concept arts of them, especialy of the map!

[Hamma]

I want next weeks theme to be "Not on Twitter"

[Crator]

I'm assuming they are using Twitter for free advertising. My question is, can you setup IRC to feed to Twitter? That way they could do the chat session through IRC but still get the benefit of Twitter.

That was mean...

[Grimster]

This thread and Higbys replies made my Monday.


Thank you for bringing me a smile that will probably last me the whole day.

THIS. Auto-tag everything with #Planetside2, maybe let folks associate their twitter & IRC channels, so the tweets can come from the right people.

That would \mm/!!

Yes, you can setup IRC to feed twitter. But 140 characters remain to be 140 characters, means most stuff will be cut off. On top of that, if you dont mark manually what is ment to be send to twitter, you will have a lot of crappy tweets.
