That's kinda lame. I'd rather see permanent implants.

I agree entirely, but I suppose they needed to add more gold sinks to the game.

These new implants don't really seem to resemble the old ones; I wonder if any of those will be making a return? (Adv.Targeting and Audio Amp?)

At least call them drugs or stimulants or something that actually is consumable.

To me implant means surgically implanted device. I would hope that something that required a chunk of my body to be removed before being stuck in would stay put.

My guess would be that a "Scythe Specialist" would get a discount on their Scythe purchase cost during the 12/24 hour period that the implant was active. Like 25% off or something like that, so that they would be able to stay in the air more consistently with slightly fewer resources or something.

it looks like a free cert

SKYeXile · 2012-06-04, 08:29 PM

sure these are available ingame for purchase with certs or resources.

I belive this is the case. It's like somethink you'd want, but it only gives natural advantage - having more certs is something old players will always have over fresh newcomers.

If I'm mistaken, and implants will be consumables boosting stats for limited time... I hate to even think about it.

Thermal Cloaking sounds cool! Especially if it is a way to beat the IR scopes that every freaken person will have!

Consumable :/
But like they've said I guess they need their gold mines

Mechzz · 2012-06-05, 02:03 AM

Hopefully the gold mine will be a bit more friendly than this one:

Edit: Oops, that's what I get for not refreshing the page before posting. Wondering if Hamma is right or if it's otherwise.

I think the way it's designed is that you have implants that give you statistical bonuses, and if you're using a boost, your boost is going to take up an implant slot that would have otherwise given you a performance increase.

you mean and not --- if you wanted to fly the scythe you need the Sythe Specialist implanted inb one of your implant slots? At which point the timer would start to count-down?

I honestly am getting bad vibes from this.

+X damage from Certs
+X damage from perks
+X damage from Implants.

This isn't sounding like the Planetside I knew, where "Every soldier holding a gun, holds it the same"

Are vet's now supposed to rofl-stomp newbs with better everything now?

There is no Flash Specialist implant on the list

I noticed. Maybe every character get Flash on creation, meaning everyone has some kind of transport.
