News: PlanetSide Universe visits SOE Next Week!

[DirtyBird]

Mine is a simple question, will release be in 2012 or 2013+ ?
Need to know if I have to save up my annual leave or not.

[Purple]

I would like to know that if i buy something with station cash in game, will i be able to use it if i decide to switch servers , or will i have to rebuy it?

[MacXXcaM]

Now that we have more info on the fog effect, what other kind of weather effects can we expect to see?

This

Keep your eyes open while hands-on-ing for any information about how missions are currently implemented. Use that to inform questions for Higby about where they're going pre- and post-launch with the mission system and how it plays into the command structure.

And this.

Can you maybe ask if there are any plans on flying bases / flying islands (post release maybe) ?



This shit got me excited

Personally I'd like to have some more details about Command/Squad/Recon tools you can use. Specifically for communication, leading, coordinating with team.

[Mechzz]

Gratz guys, you both deserve this for all the time and effort you both put in.

Questions
What forms of hand-held Anti-Aircraft weapons for infantry will be in the game?
If there are any, will there be ES variants and which class can carry them?

Thanks!

@Hamma, while you guys are there stretch your ears & eyes to gather info about (btw, you could also try to directly ask the devs ):

1) Hit-registration (responsiveness, hit-boxes etc)
2) Model animation (movement, any "parkour" stuff like BF3, gun sway under fire, reloads)
3) Gun design (something to stop and watch or just a tool throwing bullets)
4) Sound quality (footsteps, echo, deafening from nearby explosions, ambient sounds)
5) Graphics quality (volumetric clouds/dust, fauna details, line of sight, explosion effects)
6) Gameplay (destructive environments/stuff, structure/map design, weather conditions, kit layout)
7) PS2 out of game (events driven from SOE, clan tools, empire tools, patch support etc)
8) Development phase (alpha/beta, bugs encountered etc)

Well, i think that's all, i'll update the post if anything else comes in mind

Will "Clegged-Up" be an Achievment you get when you land a galaxy sideways/upside down?

Double check to make sure it doesn't say Betta instead.

Anyways congratz! ^^

[TerminatorUK]

Brilliant opportunity - hope you two enjoy your day

Some things I'd like to see reported on / pictured:

- MAX units / different weapons configs (if ready)
- Heavy Assault AV weapons - what are the like?
- Ask T-Ray why the vanu HA model is so silver and make sure he changes it to mostly purple before you leave
- Screenshot of Lighting AA cannon in action
- Ask devs again about boarding / exiting animations and do they feel 'guilty' for not having them in yet?
- First person screenshots of every weapon in the game

[SteinB]

Congrats on the honor.

Any new information in the areas of outfits and missions would be awesome.

[SoNaR]

Here are my questions:

Apart from knives, pistols, and shotguns... Will infiltrators get any other types of close quarter weapons (preferably those of the automatic kind)?

Will there be prone, and if not, why?

Will aircraft fly like they did in the alpha footage at launch, or will their engine physics be changed? Tell them to fly the 2142 gunships if they are looking for inspiration!

Can we get more aircraft gameplay footage? (Galaxies and Liberators in particular)

Will a player be able to change seats within a vehicle or will they have to get out before entering that seat?

How many camera views will a player have, in vehicles and as a soldier, and at what angles (no-hud, 3rd person, rear-view, fly-by, free-look, etc)? Will you be able to cycle through these camera views with a keyboard or mouse binding (c button perhaps)?

Deploy-able Shields, how will they work, what will they look like?

[The Admiral]

Ask if the Galaxy can do (slow motion) barrel rolls :P

[The Kush]

Congrats! This is awesome for the community. I will think of some questions.

In the meantime please ask about how many players max can be in one hex? IE how many players could I potentially see in one screen? What is the desired number?

Oh yes, you mean like manteling over walls? That'd be great.
