i think you're up-playing the significance of spies, I can tell what an enemy is going to do before they do it, don't need to have another account to know where players are going to go, they're predictable. know that ill be there, waiting.

Even in Planetside 1, things generally happen too fast for you to stage an ambush on unwary opponents while they are enroute and requires time to prepare that is not present unless you already have people there. With the meta-game that's coming with resources it's going to be even more of a wasted effort to use a spy. You can already tell and predict most of what is going to happen by looking at your map. |

Also, in the real world (ancient and modern) spies were hardly used for the battle itself. Sure they could find plans and stuff blah blah blah. But when a neverending battle is ensuing and we all have access to a map and a metagame it's so easy to tell what is in danger just by looking. For spies to be effective you would need a devoted force on standby that's specifically ready for the outfit you're spying on. Like I said before, to avoid that is easy if you're force consists mostly of vets who know their drills. |

Hmmm free to play, i dont like this idea, number one, I hate all those games that say free to play and when you reach a certain lvl, bammm its like using a pay phone ( to continue leveling please insert a certain amount of coin). But i have heard that the only thing you have to pay for is the game initially and then for customization of vehicles or personal equipment (cosmetic only) this is cool but i would rather pay a monthly installment and have access to it all. To me this makes the most sence, I feel as a paying customer i have more rights. Say for instance security issues (hackers and stuff). With monthly installments users can feel safe knowing that this money is going toward keeping your info secure and toward keeping hackers out of the game, and out of the network. I dont like the free to play because i just feel that if you have a problem SOE now has an excuse as to why your account is hacked (deal with it, its not like your paying for the game), I just wonder who is being payed to keep our information secure and keeping the servers from getting hacked if no one is getting paid.
As far as paying for cosmetic, its somthing that will be hot at first, i mean riding around in a pink tank, with mud flaps with the silouetted chick on them is cool but that will get old quick. Then i ask again, were is the money coming from that is paying the guy to ensure information is secure and networks arent being attacked, and not to mention matinance. Most IT guys know that back up systems and network security cost money. I say make that monthly payment that way gamers can have the right to say : HEYYYYY why is the server down, and why cant i log in and get answers instead of : some underpaid admin guy saying what ever deal with it. Spies in the game LOL not alot you can do about that, all is fair in love and war. If a player wants to take the time and money for two account, just to see what the enemy is doing that day. Then so be it. The zerg can be an overwhelming force whether you know its coming or not. Last edited by Qwan; 2012-01-18 at 08:35 AM. |

Stuff you will purchase in the cash shop will include cosmetic items, as well as quicker access to certain weapons and equipment. Weapons and equipment are sidegrades, not upgrades, so you won't be seeing people purchasing win buttons. Also, you will be be able to unlock most if not all of the non cosmetic stuff if you play for long enough, people who purchase them will just get them a lot quicker. |

Spies can exist, big deal.
It's not like people haven't had two accounts to do the same thing in other games. What's needed is a mechanic for finding out who they are so you can hang them for treason, or something.

IMO i just prefer it to be P2P, or B2P, I just feel that the game is now turning into a, HEY I GOT THE MONEY, I CAN DO ALOT MORE THEN THAT GUY THAT DOESNT HAVE ANY MONEY. Type of game. I just think there is more to a life span of a game if you do the monthly installment. I mean me personally, I know ill initially play the game, but knowing that every time i log in im gonna just be used as connan fodder ill loose interest quick. Now i know its a contradiction to say id rather pay monthly than use a store (knowing ill spend money regardless). Id prefer that way for 2 reasons, 1. Level playing field. 2. Constant income to the game leads to better security, and maintenance, as well as expantions. |

Side-grade means you will be able to change stats that would give you more versatility in one area (such as longer scope vision range) but at the same time decreases effectiveness in another area. Also, side-grades (and any other thing in the cash shop) will be obtainable in-game, without having to make a purchase. You just get the side-grade faster if you purchase it, or pay a monthly fee already.

I can easily see players having 3 accounts to passively develop on the off-empire characters while they focus on their main empire.
If your comrades can't win without having someone on the other side giving away enemy positions in realtime, then espionage is a way to overcome a lack of talent. :P |

We´ll see. If someone really wants to spy, he will find a way regardless. |

with the lattice yea it made it pretty easy, but even with the lattice...they still when to the closest base even if they had no link... players will always take the shortest /path of least terrain resistance, they're like water. |

This. It's what makes movement in planetside 1 predictable. If the TR capture aja from wele, you know the vast majority of their population will go to bomazi. Only a small portion will even consider traveling across cont to chuku
