Gone? No. But they obviously won't be taking place on a locked continent. In fact, when a faction gets enough territory on a continent it will trigger an alert to lock it or prevent the lock.
Alerts will be changing significantly with continent locking. They are not going away so much as being repurposed. They will be tied to continent locking and they will no longer be random / quasi-random. If you see an alert post-continent lock, it will be because some players made it happen, and the win or loss of that alert will have a very significant consequence.
whoa, talking dev. Is he real? *pokes Malorn with stick* Its sounds like we'll finally have bit of strategy in this game, I just hope it wont be nerfed to cater to Iwannajustkillstuff crowd.
I still think certain facility alerts (amp station etc) should be kept on non-locked continents. Alerts are great fun and provide the best opportunities for organised platoons/factions.
If you are removing other, more normal alerts (continent, facillity) Put in the RABBIT alert from planetside 1 PLEASE!
Its SOE, they can nerf a nerfbat for nerfed nerfs. For example they can add some extra easy way to undo the lock,
sweet. i wonder what new types of alerts could come into place since it will be tied into continent locking, i guess we'll see when the more alert types thing on the roadmap comes along.
