Major pts (for those who missed it)
- 10 minutes of gameplay = 1 cert point. Cert pts earned offline as well (not sure how that works) - No need to restart certs, it's possible to get every cert in game - To prevent "boosting" like in CoD, there is 24/7 game master actively looking for cheaters. In addition, each player has a cheater rating in the backend and repetitive action increases the cheater rating. - XP accelerators in the cash store - Resources from capturing towers/hexagons are used to purchase vehicles from terminals - Even when you throw a grenade purchased from a weapon bay uses up resources - There's a cooldown on MAXes and vehicles, like in PS1. - Footage of Sunderer, Magrider, Prowler, Reaver and Scythe shown - Can switch seats in vehicles without leaving vehicle - No lodestar, no transportation of vehicles but some plan on mobile vehicle spawn points - One customization of galaxy is a cloaking ability - Resources are not general, they are specific for certain things. Your empire may have a resource in surplus of one thing, but lacking resources in one area. - Currently, attachments on vehicles/weapons do not affect the resource consumption. This might change - Outposts outside of main bases. Strategy to take these before you go for the base, because it gives you a spawn point and decreases time to capture the base - 4km draw distance, 1000m max air height - Out of bound region enforced unlike in PS1, main reason to prevent idlers on the edges of map near ocean. - Difficult for a one-man show. The game prevents trolls who go in mosquitos and capture one base by himself by the hex-territory system, it takes forever to capture that base if surrounding hexes is not owned by your empire. However, the game welcomes outfits who may want to take a random base but it has to be organized - Customization of design: No ridiculous designs like Hello Kitty. Camo patterns available (i.e. Zebra skin). These camos actually have functionality to them (White camo for Esamir continent (snowy)) - Two customizable weapons for MAX, one on the left and one on the right. Can both be anti-infantry if you want, mix-and-match - No customizable feature to make you look like another empire color - Silhouettes of each infantry unit, MAX, vehicles are very distinct from each empire - No difference between male/female MAX suits - Signature heavy assault weapons (i.e. Lasher, Chaingun) not yet in game - Reaver for NC only, Mosquito for TR only, Scythe for VS only. Each has strengths/weaknesses - No hijacking of vehicles (mainly due to customizations), but it possibly might be implemented in the future. - Infiltrator cloaks are temporary. There are certs to increase this time, but the downside is that you can't equip bigger weapons. Cloak is essentially a camo, anyone can see outlines of the infiltrator. - One shot-One kill rifles possible in this game, mostly possible against infiltrators/light assault units - Bullet speeds enabled, bullets do drop as distance increases - Continents aren't exclusive to one type of biome. One part of a continent can be desolate and arid, while another part can be grassy and tropical. - Post launch: Weather will be added. i.e. Thunderstorms, and smoke from bases can affect visibility - Air vehicle resupplies at air towers

One problem that occurred in PS1 is the fact that BR40 players had access to all certs. Even though they could not gear up each item simultaneously, it still gave them arguably a too big of an advantage.
The fact that in PS2 players have to limit with regards to earning certs, is concerning to me. I'm worried that we are going to have jack-of-all-traits players in PS2 again... |

Thanks TB and Higby.
TB, great questions, thanks for asking to take a look at the ceiling and inside the tower, also travel time from a to b. Boomer runs behind enemy lines. The question is, without generators, what will we blow up? awesome stuff. |

Well... That was quite an awesome streaming session... Many thanks to Higby, Kevin, TB and other dev guest appearances.
I was so mesmerized by the way the game looks that I had trouble thinking about what I would have liked to hear about next. Only remembered about outfit menus at the end. I really enjoyed this and look forward for more. Gonna show this footage to all my gamer friends ASAP ! Edit: I can't help but feel slightly... disturbed ? by how PS2 tank gameplay works. It feels wrong to me. Waiting for beta to have a final opinion. Last edited by sylphaen; 2012-05-31 at 08:44 PM. |

Chat is subscriber only, so you can't ask Qs unless you're a TB subscriber.
VOD will be up on youtube in high quality and without lag, so it looks like that's the way to go. I will say, I don't know what they changed, but I'm so glad Twitch.TV finally works again. Hasn't streamed properly for me in months, lol. EDIT: Never mind, there's the lag. I don't get why even at 720+ Twitch is giving me 30Kbps down half the time... Ofc it still lags at 240.
