Thanks for this, can't get my head around reddit.

Also, lol:

So that is what happened. You guys thought the other guys reply was smeds.

Here is smeds reply...

Where do you see PS2 in 5 years?

Why isn't there 1S1K melee in PS2? NC get a 1S1K sniper, but a cloaker that does work getting in the right spot can't backstab a guy?

How can a CS grad get hired? What skills would be looked for? I did see a hiring position for a scaleform developer....

With Sony's declining status in the worlds markets, how protected is SOE(And PS2) from being taken down with it?

hmm. not sure on the 1S1K stuff

getting hired starts with applying and making it clear by all possible means that you want a job

Sony is still very dominant in the world and we have some bright stuff coming in the future. I really think we are doing cool stuff that will make a difference in the near term future.

Eh, they could rollback the servers to PRE CU and the population still wouldn't come back.

I'm just happy to see the President of SOE acknowledge that mistakes were made.

I would however cry if they used SWG's class system in some other project, maybe EQ Next or something. MMO's need a class system these days that moves away from the old stuff, and SWG's system was the right way to do it.

Thank you for this. Lots of great information.

Thanks Smed!

Q: I'm in Europe and already have a bunch of Station Cash sitting on my account ready for PlanetSide2. Europe players are now having to use Pro7, what happens to all our Station Cash? can we still use it for PlanetSide2?
A: no. Pro7 cash sorry.

I really hope this isnt true, I've got a load of station cash ready to go for PS2 and it sucks if I can't use it on the EU servers, it would have been nice to know this before they did all the station cash sales

Majordopehead · 2012-08-03, 11:07 AM

for the love of all things tactical in ps....can someone PLEASE ASK THEM ABOUT COMMAND CHAT and the C&C system, how do we work together beyond OUTFIT LEVEL????? Zerg goes A to B not A to C without being pushed on coms and inter outfit chat on a command and control system, without some form of command chat this game goes zerg and for the non outfit players this means the NEAREST BASE...ask any cr5 and they will tell you im right on the zerg just goto the nearest base without thinking...FACT!

"The Zerg is a slang term referring to a large group of soldiers that make up the primary attack front of an empire. Most of the time the Zerg are unorganized, but there are so many soldiers that they are able to effectively push the front via sheer force."

Q: Will there be a way of transferring my station cash to my Pro7 account?
A: if it's for the same game yes.

Wow, he is really committed to making sure that Planetside 2 kicks as much ass as possible. Great to see.

How can you have a MAC version and not a Linux version?

They are both written in unix. It wouldnt seem to be that big of a issue to this layman.

It irritates me that Twitter keys are getting in at the same time as PCG keys, and I am distressed at the "2-3 week" start time for them, but I shall be patient.
