Planetside Dev Interview!

Exactly Kaikou! It was something that came up in the disorder known as the PSI message boards... And it IS something I've been wondering as of late also. While it probably wouldn't affect gameplay horribly... it is something that would change the style of the game.

Maybe they'll combine both of the styles depending on weapon type?

This special is finally winding down, I will compile the question list Tuesday Afternoon

Question 1: Any chance of jetpacks? (please)

Question 2: Breast implants for the female players? (I didn't say that)

Question 3: Will this game be suitable for ladder or league play?

Question 4: How much will it cost me to purchase/play this game for 6 months?

Question 5: Make me want to play this game! (tell me why I want it)

Question 6: Will the physics in the initial release be final or will they be continuously tweaked along with bug fixes in patches?

Question1: Are Helmets seperate from suits/armor? (If I use the stealth suit do I need to use that ugly welding helmet?)

Question2: Can you Hack while in "stealth mode?"

1) Can the MAX carry more then one weapon?

2) Can you mix and match weapons with the MAX?

3) Will a player be able to buy the vechicle/armor of their dreams right from the gate, or will everyone start out as a grunt and have to work their way to up? Example: Will Hamma get his Masquito the first day, or will he have sweep and swab the hanger for a few weeks to get one?

4) Can we get some sort of nifty cool graphics to go with the Implant/Grenade information you gave us last time? Their sections of the site don't look as nifty and cool as the weapons section where we have the little pictures.

How could anyone get a vehicle on the first day, when certifications are required to purchase/use them?

[Unregistered]

So how do you earn a Piolets Cert if you've never flown anything? How do I get to be a tank driver if I can't drive a tank? I think it's a valid question since no ones really answered what it will be like when we start from scratch.

The question was mainly directed at the Armor classes. Can you get a MAX out the gate? What about the Stealth Suit?

There has to be some leway especially on the vechicales. I mean are we all going to be running around naked on foot for the first month? How fun does that sound?

I'm all for earning certs to fly/drive/use bigger and better things, but we need something other then our feet to get us to the action the day the game is released.

[RocketFodder]

Um, it HAS been covered, had you bothered looking, you'd know this. In fact, I believe it was covered quite nicely in the last developer chat.

If you don't have the cert, you can't use whatever is restricted. If everyone could magically use anything, anytime, how would this game be any more persistant than a huge TFC server?

[Hamma]

If I am not mistaken you can use vehicles in VR, he does have a point, how are you supposed to certify and know you like to drive the vehicle if they dont let u get in one beforehand

[Hamma]

The final Question list is being compiled and I will post it in a new thread when I send it
