Another expansion? The only one so far is Core COmbat, they didn't ahve anything like that in that one.

They shouldn't make that an expansion, I wouldn't pay for another one unless it was REALLY good.

It's probably just a rumor and you wouldn't see anything like that on the website because they just released Core Combat they aren't going to release another expansion after like 3 months.

ya, probably just a rumor....but it is a really widespread one nonetheless

They have said that they will not be increasing BR and CR. However they are working on a system of maybe earning other rewards beyond BR20 and CR5. And there has been no news of a new expansion any time soon at all.

It's called money, and Sony loves it.

Hello Ogge.

SOE have shot themselves in the foot, destroying any chance of future addons with the total failure of CoreComat. No-one will trust them again to shell out another �30.
UNLESS...
They get more resources working on the game. It COULD get bigger, better, and more profitable, and if they do it properly another addon COULD make it. Rewarding those who took the time to get to BR20 CR5 by offering them the chance to pay more to get higher abilities is downright blackmail. Of course we'll pay. We stayed this long didn't we?

I think such a move would see alot of folk give SOE the finger and ditch planetside.

In the case of CC I was pissed at first. Then I used the flail, router, and of course the mighty Maelstrom. all and all I'm very upset anymore. but if they were to make another expansion. I think it should first be given a 7 day trial with it then they put it on the shelves.

Yeah, cause they didn't bother to balance any of the CC stuff. They're going to get mad complaints if they introduce this force dome thing that will virtually require the use of many flails. Flails are way over powered, but nobody has complained about them yet because you almost never see them. When this force dome thing hits the live servers, they will be a big problem.

They would never do that. Sony (like most other publishers) relys on hype to sell their products. Quality is just an accidental side effect that occurs now and then. Letting people find out how worthless it is before they've paid for it is not something they want to do.

They the developers. They have mentioned it multiple times, there is no single link, it's all from memory and putting devs responses together. They don't want there to be an increased BR because they want people to have diverse certs and if they increased BR then people could just have every cert.

Here are a couple threads.

If they come out with an expansion for, say, surface vessels and related aquatics (like SCUBA cert and Advanced SCUBA), then they could increase the BR a little more. Because I doubt you're going to fit boats into "Ground Transportation" or "Air Suport".
