There was a developer AMA on Reddit. Here are the notes

No it isn't, the keyboard warriors just appear that way. Harmless IRL.

I'm excited for all the upcoming changes, but I'm far more patient than most people around here are. I'm willing to wait for things to get done right, I already enjoy the game as it is right now. Excited for that Amerish Revamp, maybe I'll finally get to see some good action on my favorite continent.

ZOE down.

I'm from the future 2014. here is the last year of ps2.

MLG failed
the US east server Merged
The EU server merged
LA became op for 6months
Ps2 have 2 streams with 3viewers daily
Flamethrowers were op for 2months
DA.dll didn't work
Vonic.exe DId
My KDR went up to 5.6
Daddy has a 75KDR and have earned 1200k certs
ESF update became a joke and all flyboys quit
amerish is still a ghost town
nexus has been empty for the last 6 months
Mission system turned into a huge zerg grind (like now but 95% more ghost capping)
NC maxs became op for 2 days before nerfed.
Marauder is still the best statpadding weapon after skilltube.


now brb screenshot and save on server and 1 USB to the bank vault!
i bet at least 50% will be right xD cya in 1 year thread

Hilarious that players have to repost notes from SOE on their own forums because they're too busy on Reddit.

You forgot to tell about ps4.

if you consider it calmly, then you will probably realize, that it will most probably be the option of spawning right into the AMS sundie, instead of spawning near it. i'm sure shield diffuser equipment will exclude any AMS capabilities
as for other vehicles (tanks) - that could be tricky

i honestly think its the worst idea ever



imagine the ANT from PS1 in PS2,


now think of the Nvidia particle effects

now think of the deployment animations

put it together and you have an awesome little deployable resource gatherer or transport that is seperate so sundys remain spawn stations while you refuel other bases

sunderers are just too dam big for it

no, not really, its more like


Anoymity + audience = azzholes who think they have a right to say whatever they want without consequence

guess what


REDDIT IS THE SAME DAM THING JUST A BIGGER AND MORE COMPLEX WEBSITE THERE ARE STILL ********

They said alot about the resource revamp also. Such as it being harder for the big zerg to maintain resources. And also for resources to be affected when fighting in drawn out battles. (i posted this idea myself. Good to see it going in.)

Also ZOE nerf It will recieve a mechanic similar to the HA shield and will have to recharge. Also it will be prevented in some way from being turned on and off instantly. This is to make up for the fact that both TR/NC have animations that have to play and right now ZOE is instant. ( Another thing I pointed out. Damn I'm good.).

Edit: They know that NC noobs have harder gear to use and are going to fix it. They said it is hard to balance cause veteran NC are good and buffing the weapons might make them too good but our noobs have it the worst.

He didn't say no, just unlikely.

...I want m' Scorpion.

- Vehicles spamming capture points is not intended. File a bug report if you see a place where it's possible and they will fix it.

I really doubt about that. Considering that I've seen a Reaver sticking its rotary inside the tower capture point window and murdering everyone inside once, I can understand it could be hard to imagine to the amount of crazy stuff the players can get to, but a simple circle around the base in an MBT should've shown them about 80% of the holes on any outpost.

EDIT: also, Boomer/Radiator hybrid for infiltrators to force tank crews out. Would go along nicely with vehicle hijack.

Is that Northern Hemishphere Summer or Southern Hemisphere summer?

"Rotor based VTOL flight felt archaic in the theme of PS2."

*screaming "this" for all eternity*

• Xander is spending more effort to create fun field fights

THIS SO MUCH MORE THIS. The only thing preventing this is the abundance of sunderer's and the lack of actual transportation vehicles. People don't pick others up in sunderer's as often because they can just rush a sunderer to a base where it was lost and stragglers can redeploy and teleport across the map to the sunderer.

I honestly stand by my statement of removing small out posts sans towers from lattice but requiring adjacency (hex connection) on top of making defunct spawn rooms some sort of garage for a sunderer spawn or removing the shields on it. Make terminals neutral and REQUIRE an infil hack to be usable. Make hacks on neutral terminals time limited so they only stay that way for a few mins.

• Vehicles spamming capture points is not intended. File a bug report if you see a place where it's possible and they will fix it.

ROGER. I WILL DO MORE THAN THIS. BRB

Please, no more Biolabs, they're already the worst piece of crap design I've ever seen in a game. No more, please. TELEPORTERS ARE LAZY GAME DESIGN.

More then likely squad deployment would be something that was an attachment to the sunderer, perhaps replacing gateshield.

OR

Perhaps it will work like the squad beacon, a 3+minute timer inbetween respawns per player, etc..

There are ways to balance it.

I do agree flight ceiling gals may be a problem tho.

Thank you for taking what must have been a pretty massive amount of time to read through and post this.

Exactly. Not having the AMA here, whilst professing more interest in the forums than Reddit (and attempting to clear up the forums) was one thing (and fortunately Luperza is now going to try to get us an AMA here for the forums ), but I do get that they were worried it would become toxic and require too much moderation.

On the other hand, simply having a locked+pinned thread with even 1/10th of those responses posted in it would have at least made us feel informed, even if still alienated and uninformed. It shouldn't be down to community members to spend their time trawling through the inanities of Reddit, Twitter and the like in order to disseminate that information to the wider community...

It took me less than 5 mintues, but no problem

Also, I wrote these up for reddit originally (I'm one of the mods over there, and was the one who suggested this to higby in the first place), but it was no trouble to cross post this to PSU and the Official Forums.

Thanks for posting these notes. Nice to know they have stuff in store still and the patch is still on schedule

They better reduce the resource cost, 400certs is much to wast when you can not equipt AMS.

You don‘t want dual wielding guns light assaults
on the other hand I DO WANT IVORY AND EBONY COMMISIONERS WOHA!

as for anything else I feel shame for each day that passes with Amerish still without lattice, it's embarassing to tell new players that they are still working on It, It was late one month ago.
