Voted twice (phone and laptop go!)

Xyntech · 2011-12-19, 12:55 PM

Don't forget to vote EVERY DAY.

You can only vote once a day, unlike the previous tentonhammer poll where you could vote twice a minute, so you don't need to worry about people voting against us all day.

Just make sure to vote once, every single day, to maximize your contribution.

Really? They all have their own independent Internet IP address?

Hamma · 2011-12-19, 01:52 PM

Holy Shit

I haven't seen a config with all public IP's since the late 90's. Duke, you are the reason we are running out of IPv4 addresses..

If yall really want this shit to take off. I could make it so every computer here voted once a day haha.

Wait, isn't this over?

If you see PS2 suddenly jump from 3rd to 1st...you'll know why.

I say it is still within the rules. I mean, anybody for the other games that has a work computer and a home computer is voting on each. If they wanted to make it so only each individual person could vote once per day, they would make you log in to vote much like the MMORPG Hype vote system. So to be extra fair, you should "persuade" the person whose computer it is that their most anticipated game is Planetside 2. You can always make them an offer they can't refuse, if you catch my meaning.

So, it's not botting especially if the different users all anticipate Planetside 2.

Aaron · 2011-12-19, 02:55 PM

Although, I gotta say, 3rd place is impressive for the amount of coverage Planetside 2 has so far. Planetside's key attributes have only been communicated through words - the trailer doesn't tell you much.

Looks like we made it on G4's most anticipated also.

Good stuff

These lines worry me about their research department:

The open-world battles are back, and this time can feature up to 2000 simultaneous players duking it out in large-scale PVP maps.

I remember hearing 1000 for a 333v333v333 (+1?). But I like how this will get more people intrigued by the massive scale/epic-ness of PS2.

The game will also feature certain pay-to-play aspects and will include a cash shop to sell things for customization.

I constantly hear F2P, the micro-transactions aren't required to play the game, they're just there for SOE to make money, and more importantly to make players to look good. This sentence is just confusing and might scare people away.

Just my thoughts though! I love the publicity!

Both the actual max player number and the business model are TBA. And the player number can only be known for sure during beta. After all they have to make sure that everything is still smooth if we all just fight at the same area.

mbarrett · 2011-12-19, 05:39 PM

i'm getting rather tired now of even following this game . how about just give us a beta date and confirm its release for 2012 next year , all of a sudden this has gone quiet on PSU and your giving us like one screen shot a mth now . i don't know why people are even getting excited because if this game is going to be released for next yr , why is it not yet confirmed , wheres the trailers of ingame footage , i just think your miss leading people now and i'm not interested in this game untill something solid is confirmed

they should be able to test how many players the server can support reasonably accurite with bots.

With proper coding the server could easily take advantage of a OctaCore with a lot of Ram. But clients are the issue. If the game starts to lag with 2000 players all in the same area, then theres just not much else to do than limiting the player number.
Remember, when the original launched in 2003, Dual Cores didnt exist.

Besides, with bots you cant simulate the crazy stuff players would do, especialy with the AI they seem to have right now (running around and shooting each other, nothing else).
