I hope they don't go overboard and fuck planetside 2 up like every other game SoE has put out

SOE made Planetside 1.
That didn't get fucked up. Not really, at least. And besdies, it's the devs that have the power to fuck stuff up. The guys making PS2 didn't make all of SOE's other games, too.

I seem to recall big problems after BFRs and Core Combat.

Yeah I think we really should come to a consensus later on whether to

1) let the fights on this specific continent affect the stat, killcount, and ranking

or

2) let the constructs on this specific continent have destructible nature in it

or

3) let this specific continent to have special rule-set and flow like robocpf1 suggested..etc

or not.

What are player bases? I'm confused.

the reason planetside 1 didn't get fucked up was because SoE swept it under the rug the game hasn't seen a balance fix / update since 2009

im not saying SoE will mess up Planetside 2 but it does have a reputation for messing up good games

All publishers do. Publishers are bad.

...It's not like SOE is the only company in the world that mess up their games. And the only case SOE really, seriously messed up would be SWG. EQ1/2 and SOE's other mmos are still fun to play and have good quality(if not great).

Personally, can't wait for the Vanguard F2P.

Haven't read the entire thread so not sure if anyone mentioned this, but is anyone else afraid that custom bases and continents will become unspeakably ugly.

Where you say "Looks Ugly", I say "Has Character."

But more than likely there will be several preset base configurations with optional modules you can unlock.

Though, I'd love to see an SWG style free dropping of buildings.

Gugabalog · 2012-07-28, 02:58 AM

That would be interesting. Maybe give each faction/outfit a base area where each member can drop a building, or a certain number of members unlocks additional modules similar to swgs pop based town system.

I would truely NUT ALL OVER MY DESK in tribute of this mechanic should it ever be put in.

I.. I don't know of any better way to describe the sheer ecstasy that player placed, owned and upgradable bases would cause in me.

Klockan · 2012-07-28, 07:16 AM

Is it just me who thinks that it will work similar to the ANT system but instead of having to recharge your bases all the time you can use the resource to build modules on the site as well? So you can work to strengthen your position not just by killing enemies but also by building new stuff in your existing territories. Why are you all thinking about stuff that have nothing to do with the gameworld? Bases wont cost money, that would break the game, bases will be built with ingame resources and what ingame resource have to do with bases? NTU! Think of it as having all the engineer tools you can imagine instead of just building small spitfire and such, but that extra power means that it will take longer than just a click with a button to pull off.
