Yeah, I just claimed my main character.

Can I claim more than one character? I have three.

Ghryphen · 2012-11-26, 03:16 PM

You can claim 2 at the moment, will probably expand that once we see its not being abused.

Beerbeer · 2012-11-26, 03:18 PM

Cool thanks.

11,396 characters have been looked up on PSU

This just makes me wonder what happened to the Planetside Players site.

Hamma · 2012-11-27, 12:30 PM

Nothing has "Happened" to it, it's coming.

The API will be public when it launches because of the way it consumes the data so I'm sure kinks are being worked out.

It would be cool to have a live view of the maps, continents, for each of the servers. Could this be a possibility?

Hamma · 2012-11-27, 12:39 PM

That will be on the Players site as well.

My plan was to make a live android wallpaper that'd show each of the continents in turn and who was owning them at the time.

But it does involve me getting my big book of programming code out, so it'll probably be done soon after I finish those Planetside-inspired levels I was getting done for Little Big Planet (i.e. Soon™ =P)

Happened, as in, it was supposed to be around for launch. We had videos of it working months ago.

There is no grand conspiracy going on..

I just had a conversation with the guys working on it, they are still doing some optimizations on the amount of data they are receiving. Just like the game, the API once it's in the wild is a new set of issues they are dealing with.

Along those same lines we are seeing stale character data in the API right now and that is expected. Things are a bit delayed - and for those who asked all character stats are saved each time you logout.

I never said there was. But I don't think they have said squat about it since the videos months ago included it.

Its part of the package after all, looked rather functional to me. IIRCC it was also a pitch point. Also waiting on that APP.

In Hamma's last video he asked Smed who said they would be out after launch.
