Cuz last week's was the best one so far! It was great of Higby to give us a teaser-peek at what was coming (with the Terran image). Everyone, keep us posted on whatever tidbits come up about what we'll be learning next week!

w000000!

I am hoping the next two theme weeks are NC and VS. I am TR all the way but we need to see more of the other empires.

Bags · 2011-11-02, 11:30 AM

But the other empires aren't very finished, judging by what we've seen. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

BorisBlade · 2011-11-02, 11:34 AM

Yeah i highly doubt it would be the other two empires in the next two features. Most likely another aspect will be highlighted.

I'm definitely in Hamma's camp in terms of what I'm hoping comes next, though like some of the other posters, I'm not sure if the other two factions are ready enough for them to be showcased to us. And I mean, if you think about it, the information on the Terrans (while amazing) was still pretty surface-level. We saw 3-4 types of armor, a sidearm, and a vehicle. That's about 5-8% of the digital renderings of the TR. Now, the Q&A was fucking awesome, we learned a ton. But yeah, I dunno if we're gonna get to check out the NC or my beloved Vanu just yet.

But hey, here's hopin'

I'm firmly in TR camp too , but you can't tell me T-Ray isn't itching to show off his Vanu disco suit

We have already started to see more about the NC, so I could see them surprising us with an NC week.

We saw the NC pistol for the first time ever in some of the TR week pictures last week. Also, while we had already seen the Planetside Next picture of the Vanguard, last weeks awesome base picture showed us the first images of the Vanguard since Planetside 2 was announced. Sure they were tiny and hard to make out in the picture, but it still wouldn't surprise me if that is an indication that the vanguard is close to being ready to be revealed.

The VS we have still seen very little on though, so I'm not sure how much longer it will take on that front.

Here's how the timeline will probably play out:

Next week: Something else
(off week)
Week after that: NC WEEK! YAY!
(off week)
Week after that: Something else
(off week)
Week after that: VS WEEK! FINALLY! The good stuff!

That's almost two months of time for them to get enough VS stuff to show us. Hopefully by that time we will be getting close to beta, so they better have most of that shit ready.

With any luck, they will start increasing it to new information being posted every week instead of every two weeks.

bah who cares about Vanoobs and the New Clownites, I say we keep only talking about how kewl the Terran Republic is, on that note here's another reveal, TR ditch knives in favour for a new mêlée weapon

Xyntech · 2011-11-02, 12:36 PM

I thought that the NC were the ones with the boot spork, given the Chex Quest guys signature blue and yellow armor.

btw- Gone With the Blastwave is an AMAZINGLY well-drawn and hysterical comic. Well played, Canaris.

Tikuto · 2011-11-02, 02:23 PM

Apparently when we take a dump the Nanite Systems remove the mess according to Higgles.

If they are already thinking about equilibrating the game and showing us some vehicles and stuff, on a project management point of view, i d find it very strange if the NC and VS development is not as advanced as the TR.
Plus they keep on saying the beta will come "sooner than we think" (jan 2012? please !)
So i would back Xyntech on his schedule :

Next week: Something else
(off week)
Week after that: NC WEEK! YAY!
(off week)
Week after that: Something else
(off week)
Week after that: VS WEEK! FINALLY! The good stuff!

And then... THEN I CAN FINALLY CHOOSE WHICH SIDE I LL PLAY !
