Yea, I don't really care for the over nurturing donkey and carrot style pat on the back reinforcment, but then again I am over the age of 30 and accustom to being raised with the belt and the spoon style. Really achieving objectives is where I get my kicks, take a base, defend a base, or whatever we decide to do on a given night. This weekend 4 of us "camped" the Vanu Warpgate on Essamir for over and hour, eventually they sent (no joke) 3 fully loaded Gals, 4 tanks, 3 reavers to kill the 4 of us and be done with it, they must have though there were more than for of us because they typed "Only 4 of you rat bastards were out here in the chat" we replied "LOL, yep 4, thanks guys that was awesome" we got a good laugh out of it..you could probably find a vid of it somewhere..I would share it but it might offend some people as on of the guys NOT PLAYING in TS spoke a few controversial words.

So heres what they are trying to address:
Also, can anyone explain to me how ribbons are different than medals? I never cared much about the medals, but they seem to be tied to the same criteria (kill X with weapon Y). The reason I never cared much about the medals is that it does feel like, as someone pointed out, "kill X rats." Just fix the damn resource system (reason for battles, linking battles to a strategic goal, denial of resources leading to predictable locations of battles, etc.). That will add miles more "metagame" than whatever the hell this is. |

Remember PS1 events like the Rabbit or the home cont defense? Its like that only we can keep adding more types over time and don't need GMs to run them. This is the first event type, and the intent is that for off peak you have meaningful fights on Amerish and Esamir instead of always Indar. And you'll get more XP for doing it. And you have something new to show empire greatness. Haters gonna hate...TR gonna dominate! |

For now Indar has been the "way out" for the factions. When they were dominated everywhere else they just went there.
This wasn't a problem in Planetside 1 because people playing that game were hardcore dedicated veterans, with faction loyalty, outfits and all that jazz. But with the new demographics PS2 is targeted at, I only now realized that cross-continent capturing metagame might have demoralizing consequences to the people who play games like CoD or Battlefield. We've seen people leave a continent when they get warpgated. How will they react when they get pushed to their sanctuary? Quit the game? And for how long? (Until the others in their faction grab territory, or after some time?) I can see 4th Factioning becoming real bad as people will want to "play the winning side". I'm not quite sure how it will turn out. Remember, people need incentives for everything. Now back onto topic before we all go off the rails. |

correct me if i'm wrong but i do believe you made such arrangements while thinking at High populated Servers, but what of medium ones? because on Ceres there is Never battle on Amerish, not even on prime time, it would be awesome to fight there even if only for once, please test on us!

This all sounds great to me. I like ribbons in Battlefield 3. Gave me some goal to try to achieve. Goals are a good thing. The event system also sounds like it will be a good thing. I hope they have some events rolling during peak hours sometimes too.. not all the time, but maybe like 2-3 times a week just some event. Get people moving around the map more.

I am still waiting for the mythical vechile/flash launcher gun that they talked about on FNO.
Honestly, I think that the jokingly promised candy continent will really change things ^_- Happy April Fools Last edited by HelpLuperza; 2013-04-02 at 12:46 PM. |

Welp, with the server events they gave an example of indar, but HOPEFULLY a lot of these events will occur on places OTHER than Indar (can't wait for em on Amerish). I mean seriously, who here is their favorite continent Amerish?
