Than I think we know what question to tweet.

"I'm sure you're great at your job, and as a PS2 player I appreciate your hard work...but wtf do you do exactly?"

His linkedin seems to indicate that he is a map designer mainly.

Usually the term Level Design has to do with the map.

So he designs continents then? Because I thought Arclegger does bases?

Ah, cheers! So the perfect question would be what are they looking at doing to improve the combat flow across a given continent.

Clegg joined the weapon design team.

I dont think we have enough trees on the three continents we have now. How do you feel about trees and are we going to see more trees in the future.

My question is, how overall has the level design team coped with making Planetside 2 from beginning to now and what's in store for the future, dish the dirt!

bpostal · 2013-04-03, 03:50 PM

Don't forget, we gotta tweet this shit. That's where they'll be looking for questions!

ChipMHazard · 2013-04-03, 03:50 PM

Aye, posting them here won't help unless some friendly soul tweets them all.

Canaris · 2013-04-03, 03:52 PM

well one of you has the job, I'm usually asleep when these go live

I got your back, and with 5 min to spare. Can't promise they'll pick it though.
Provided I didn't fuck it up. That's just about my 4th ever twit (twat? tweet? whatever)
