I really really hope the UI stuuff gives a way for color blind people to tell squad mates from enemies.

The Sundy AMS changes are the one single thing that makes Planetside 2 feel more like Planetside than anything since tech-test.

That said, i really kinda hope they bring back deployed galaxies again... although not so useful, it was a pretty cool idea

You can embed tweets?
Just like that? Wow.

Yay for S-AMS deployment radius indicator!

Yep just post the link to the tweet and it auto embeds.

Looks like some good stuff coming down the pipes.

More useful map elements: ground vehicle ammo stations going to show up on the map?

Still haven't memorized them all or figured out what type of base has them.

Hopefully the map stuff includes toning down the red and blue and purple control indicators massively so we can actually see the map, its annoying having to constantly turn it on and off to see anything. First time i saw the map without it on there was only a few weeks ago and i thought i was looking at a new cont at first.

Also the indicators for size enemy forces attacking a base (similar to the red/yellow alerts in ps1), base status, and the time left til capture are majorly needed as well.

I thought that feature was already in game showing large platoons and such with color coding.

I hope those "map UI elements" give us a little more information on the status of an outpost/base.

Levente · 2012-11-06, 02:38 AM

i too liked the idea of deployed galaxy. bring it back but in a more balanced way.

Edit: 15 days is a very short time away. I love Planetside, I am passionate and most certainly bi-polar these last few days about this game. I just hope they have their ducks in a row.

I've done all the bitching I can do now and I have to admit, I play Planetside 2 daily... But I sure hope they add some fundemental elements with these patches that adhere to the game's longevity.

10days is even shorter.

The game has 0 depth, is buggy as hell, runs like a dog.

Gah.

So this next patch the NC will be literally nerfed this time and have their weapons replaced with nerf guns so that they cannot harm the whiney bitches of the TR and VS at all. We will all spawn inside out and upside down. AA will be NERFed further too so that the soft fluffy projectiles do not scratch ESF paintwork and disrupt their farming of all the ants running around the floor.

Hmm. I think Higby put in some secret NC code into those tweets that only NC can understand because I don't see anything about nerfs to AA or NC.

We need to get some Vanu scientists on this ASAP. We need to know the full extent of these changes!
