The Water Cop Out.

Well got a replied from one of the Devs about the water (or lack there of).

Turns out just Like Esamir is not the same one from Planetside 1 Amerish will suffer the same fate.

We will have water on Amerish. It won't be deep lakes with underwater play, but it will help add a significant element to the environment which is missing from extremes like desert and arctic settings.

So basicly we will have shallow streems and puddles (like blood gulch in Halo) and no real lakes or bridges to fight over. My response to that is to simply Add the New Conglomerate Light Assault (the mascot of Planetside 2) to this comic.

I think they are referring to the fact that there's nothing so deep that you can fight underneath it. I'm just hoping there's enough to give mags their advantage back.

I wonder what types of issues they're having with water and why they havn't put any in.

I'm guessing they are still working on it. Looked kind of like lava with a water tint on it in the video.

Speaking of lava, they better have this system figured out by the time they get to Searhus which is supposed to be released after Amerish, right?

Not sure on that one bullet. Sorry.

How did you get from no "deep lakes with underwater play" to "no lakes and bridges"? Am I missing some context here?

bridges wer mainly used to cross water. but with that no longer being needed we are stuck with these clif bridge battle. and he said there are no lakes.

MAg well considering it is the flying tank and OP in the eyes of most PS2 players don't think it needs any more advantage otehr than the broken gameplay.

Amerish does have at least one bridge over water that kills you if you fall into it. Higby showed it on the preview.

they have always said water will be in when they are happy with it. im in no rush so let them work on it and get it how they want it.

Ruffdog · 2012-11-01, 02:46 AM

Let conts 4,5 and 6 have water. They have enough shit to fix in front of this IMO.

Not important right now.

And I'm pretty sure water or not, the fall would have killed you.

Any expanse of water will favour the VS and their Magmowers, I don't think the devs are ready for that fight yet.

No doubt will be sorted in due course, theres bigger problems to look at - Frames Per Second & player retention.

Oh. Yeah. That's just what magriders need... MORE advantages.
