That's what I was thinking. Everything DICE did wrong with BF3 in terms of team tools, SOE are doing right. Well, if this interview is anything to go by.

Thanks Hamma!

[Hamma]

Oh and also the aimpoint was slightly off when firing so you would tend to miss when you think you should be hitting

Next interview will be tomorrow afternoon or evening.

[CommandoCarl]

And promptly kills his attacker in half a second.

Thanks for the awesome interview. I can't wait to see the next one.

[Hyiero]

at 12:25 was that max suit capping a point?? Dunno if I like that if he was...

[Meecrob]

Awesome job! Good to hear platoons are "definitly probably" in

Just past 7 minutes in Jon states that you collect resources from the territory that you own on that continent. Would that decrease the incentive to fight on another continent that your empire currently has less land on? Why fight on Esamir w/ its 15% captured rate when I could fight on Indar with its 45% capture rate?

Continent population caps.

They were just running around on the dev server off playtest times, some people have invuln on, they're testing animations, sound effects, etc. That server isn't remotely a valid gameplay example.

Aww, got my hopes up.

[waldizzo]

Nice interview. There were many reassuring things revealed such as platoons and way points.

Not sure how I feel about the "Entire Foothold VOIP" channel that was mentioned. Hopefully they let us pick and choose what VOIP channels we want to hear, if at all.

Actually, I suspect people will want to fight on the continent where you own the least land. I keep hearing people talking about you get resources for capturing land, and so, it might be easier to sneak around the enemy and capture more land when you only own 15%, and yet if you own 55%, it will be more difficult because the enemy is dug in. Just a theory.

So how much invuln cost in the cash shop? (j/k)
