It's just another bldg on a cont, just this time it is player owned.

Thats basically how it already is...

Endgame and resets are not for Planetside. How and why do these threads keep getting started???

I don't need the game to tell me that I kick ass.

I like the idea of the persistent non stop battles,but i think it would be nice if they add some medals(or something like that) for holding x amount of points for x amount of time.
And at the end of each month have a statistic about how well eah faction performed and what are the hardest medals it has.

It is all so very temporary and people just want more of it.

So whats the point of outfit bases anyway if they are going to be flipped anyway? Durr. Battles last days or weeks sometimes, so you can hold on to bases. Really, if you were really dedicated and really good, you could hold onto a base, forever basically. I can see this happening.

You wouldn't. The idea is similar to EVE's 0.0 space. Warpgates, or whatever, to pristine territory with nothing built on it waiting for the various factions to claim and conquer. How it would work, whether it would be outfits only or faction "commanders" build stuff from total faction resources etc is what the devs are paid to figure out.

How it can be claimed this doesn't fit into the idea of a persistant war, I do not know. It's just the same thing on a larger and more persistant scale, except that you could wipe your enemy off these continents and destroy everything they ever built. Which should be "end game" enough for anyone, at least until they mount a major counter offensive.

Maybe about 10 years in the future. But there is already a game like this, its called ARMA.

Space battles! If that happens then GOTC, game of the century! Also it better be high tech and not low ass tech like halo which space battles are like 16th century ship battles with lasers and tungsten slugs (which we use with depleted uranium on abrams) In 2500 we would of engaged at like 4 light seconds.

See I had this idea, you make all of the servers there own planets. Make a server that handles space in between, add in some space craft and relatively short travel times between the "planets" presto you have space wars.

ChargerCarl · 2012-06-18, 05:31 PM

I agree with the OP. An endgame would be desirable.

I don't understand why an MMO can't have an endgame scenario. Is that some ancient chinese law or something?
