We have some face time this morning with the Lead Dev, then coming up at 10AM is the live panel where the entire Fan Faire can participate.

AWESOME! GO HAMMA GO!


And make sure to ask about the "Jetpacks".

And if its not on your list yet: ask if there are any kind of Bots/AI in the game.

Hamma could you try and squeeze more info about the "class" system? Can you say still have HA and use a med app to heall yourself or do you need a med class that doesn't have HA to do that?

I do find the missions interesting. If I not mistaken MAG has a missions to help make people go throughout the map (not one giant zerg). Yet, I hear people ignore them and everyone is clustered in one area fighting lol.

That question should be answered with: Only in the practice range.... Otherwise that'd be 100% against the Planetside philosophy Well, I'll allow some AI for automatic turrets and such ^^

[basti]

Yes, i agree. And thats why i want to know if they just fucked it up and added bots, or if they got a clue and kept them out for good.

Its unlikley that they have bots. After all, everyone understands that creating a useful bot is impossible.

Is there going to be a live stream of the dev panel Q & A? -edit- doh, nevermind, it's on the front page :facepalm:

I hope the territories idea will be as grand as many of us suggested. If it is, then I see it as a replacement of the lattice system and we'll be able to carve our own way from facility to facility. Looking forward to this now

Regarding bots, I can imagine that SOE have learnt that variety is important. Hopefully there will be many pure PvP areas (i.e 80% of combat is PvP) and there is a small section of OPTIONAL play versus bots. This would be a small scale combat system where the first team to defeat the bots get something special. Think Core Cambat locations, but with more to do.

In addition to my number one concern about marketing-marketing-marketing... I'm curious about the stuff they've brought up. All in all, a fair amount of posters on this forum have really gotten some good questions together - even some of the people I fucking despise.

Don't worry, I'm sure TB will cover the game at some point. Love him or hate him, he will get this game more attention than any other source.

Who the fuck is TB?

Yes, I live under a rock.

[p0intman]

any info on the command system?

Level playing field! Give me BR5 vs BR25 combat where the underdog has a chance! or give me ... I dunno, something else but level playing field is definitely preferable.

At first i was very hesitant to accept the idea of classes and constant skill training, but this post has helped ease my suffering. but how much faster could it go, as to keep to the level playing field for people who cant log on much (or who dont care and raid-log)

Maybe the Virtual Reality to train/test weapons against people with different certs/armor types... Thumbs up for that
