News: What would you like to see?

Hamma · 2013-02-14, 11:26 AM

Every so often I do up one of these threads to gauge the communities usage of PlanetSide Universe. We have been around over 10 years and done many different things in those years. Times have changed quite a bit since we first fired up the site way back in the day.

What would you like to see us provide in the future? We already provide some very popular features and have in my opinion the best PlanetSide 2 Discussion on the Internet.

So what say you community?

A short list but.

1. Definitely more meta-game
2. Collect some reader suggestions and allow voting for one of them on the roadmap.

Site is great Hamma, go pwn some n00bs, you provide enough already.

Thanks man.

Firstly you do and have always done a great job. PSU is the only place really to discuss planetside where the operator doesn't force their own agenda or run it like a police state(looking at you Soe mods)

Features wise its pretty much all you need, i'm sure the stats stuff will expand as the api does and gryphons time/effort allows.

Social media wise, i think the balance is fine, facebook isnt spammy.

Just continue to provide a forum for open discussion with a dash of sillyness and it will only lead to another 10years.

Oh less basti on AGN.

Yeah website is great Hamma,

I would perhaps get rid of some of the sub forums people never use. Like the Media section only needs 1 Forum.

Also adding the Lounge up the top of the page. So people post there more instead of the PS2 section.

And Finally. More AGN's with the community. Should do them weekly :P You have an awesome set up that should be utilised more. And getting outfits / players on them will be great for the community.

1 More thing. Server Forums! Please. You would get loads of people from community that way.

The one.

The only.

The Return of Hamma Time.

I personally am fine with the site the way it is, I check it every morning and afternoon for updates, and watch the videos for info about patches.

I haven't been on the forums in a while, but that's because I've stopped playing, I'm waiting for my new PC (This one's 4 or so years old) so that I can get minimal lag.

Keep on keeping on!

I would be interesting to see a hosted metagame system here on PSU. Think grassroots esports. PSU could organize a challenge, perhaps even cross-server ... Invasions of low pop servers over a weekend, or over Esamir/Amerish. Races across all three continents, first to get their entire team to the finish line wins.
Or possibly an API to show outfit 'progession' - population, avg BR, daily xp gain, daily caps, kills et. Metrics to actually compare outfits performance.

Mietz · 2013-02-14, 05:56 PM

I would like to see more features like in Battlefield 3, like scopes on signatures or rank-ups.

Lonehunter · 2013-02-14, 06:55 PM

Hot girls thread?

Edit: Seriously though lol, PSU is great and you all ready provide quite a lot. But I'll keep trying to think of something else I need.

DirtyBird · 2013-02-14, 07:01 PM

There is so much here that I dont use it all as it is, I dont think you need to add much more.

I guess if you have a political debate forums it couldnt hurt to have server forums as well.

Wish I had the skills to help with the API work for you, you seem to be struggling to get any assistance with that.

Bunk · 2013-02-14, 07:19 PM

I'd like the stats to be more detailed if that's possible. For Example I'd like to look on how much enemies I killed with different weapons/vehicles etc.

Gonefshn · 2013-02-14, 08:44 PM

More cowbell.

I'd like to see fresh faces on the AGN I know you always say you want to do that but it doesn't really work out as well as it could IMO. seeing the same people (nothing wrong with the people) gets old!

Great job though Hamma

The trouble with the official forum site, threads in the General discussion get buried rather quickly.

In PSU, the General Forum is right at the cusp of bursting and crossing over to the "threads-always-buried-in-avalanche" domain.

I believe I made a suggestion about faction specific sub-forum months ago. So, either that or server-specific sub-forum that's being talked about lately.

If there are too many servers, then PSU can make them, region specific, like, West Coast, East Coast, EU etc and we can just tag each thread with server name.
