New changes comin up
Greetings Everyone,
Here is what we have going this week in development for PlanetSide: We are busy making plans for the next big update. Version 3.8 is currently planned for the 3rd week of August. It should include the following: * Training Mission System: We are working on adding the ability to skip forward and move backwards within the mission system. We are also tweaking some other functions to make the missions run smoother. The text for the old Training Mission help is being removed and we are adding a help entry for the Mission Status Window. Additional Missions are being added. We also still have plans in the works for the possibility of player created missions with this system. We will provide more details when we are ready for that option. * Battle Rank Increase: We are working on increasing the maximum Battle Rank to 25. Features of this increase will include new armor texture. We will provide more information regarding this change as the time draws closer. * Heavy Scout Rifle: The Heavy Scout Rifle that is available to soldiers reaching the 2 year mark, becomes available to anyone certified with sniping. * New Players Starting Certificates: We plan to remove the certificate point awarded at Battle rank 6, 12 and 18. The reward for making those ranks will be the Implant slot you receive. Those 3 certificate points will be granted at Battle Rank 1 instead. This makes new player starts off with 7 certificates. Note this change does not add new certificates to the characters so it does not affect existing characters. To view more on this change, you can visit the New Player Starting with More Certs thread. * In-Game and Out-of-Game Marketing: We are working on introducing an in-game marketing feature to the game. With this change, we are also investigating the possibility of having featured outfit and player Ads included in the marketing. More details on this will be made available at a later date. The team is also working on additional out-of-game marketing promotions. * Bug Fixes: We're working on more bugs that have been reported and verified by Quality Assurance. Below are bugs being fixed for 3.8: Note these are the description of the bugs placed in /bug reports. o Avatars can become invisible if they move too far from a vehicle pad before the vehicle is created o Deployables continue to display on overhead map if they are deleted while a player is respawning o OS waypoint sometimes remains visible until zoning o Empire can lose enemy vehicle benefits by capturing a base o Location of Flight Vehicle projectiles do not update while dead o MAX armor show on radar at Interlink facilities always, but not have Manned Turret auto fire while max is not in run mode o Caverns: Mosquito deconstructs on the flight pad if another vehicle is acquired afterwards o User will not be able to see 'Global' and 'Command' messages o Sometimes unable to respawn at valid available bases o BFRs: Do not become disabled when the Vehicle Status bar reaches 0 o Galaxy, Lodestar: Does not kick vehicles when cargo access changes. o Receive an "unknown error" message after adding a friend twice o The Switchblade takes an excessive amount of time to repair at a silo. This also affects the Flail and Router! o Enemy MAXes only appear on radar if they are running o Cannot deconstruct at an AMS you just jacked o Achievements: Date is sorting incorrectly o NC Max shield does not turn off when in Galaxy. o Amerish: Warping to the geogate will place you at a random location o Boomer sometimes does not damage generators o Boomer placed near Medical terminals will sometimes do no damage o Boomer placed near BFR terminals will sometimes do no damage o Boomers placed outside spawn tubes do no damage when the door is open o Boomers placed outside spawn tubes sometimes do no damage when the door is closed o Boomers placed inside spawn tubes do no damage when the door is open o Boomer placed near Certification Terminals do no damage o Boomers placed inside spawn tubes sometimes do no damage when the door is closed o Cannot respawn at a base if spawn tubes get repaired while zoning o Can sometimes get stuck at training mission steps (waypoint, delay trigger) The following is being planned for version 3.9 or later: * Looking For Squad: More work is being done on replacing the Looking For Squad (LFS) function. So far the concept behind the new version of LFS will allow players to seek a squad from anywhere and may possibly allow them to select particular roles they are seeking. This feature may also be used to form larger-scale forces. You can read more information about the Proposed Revisions to Looking for Squad here. We will be We will be posted an updated list of outstanding bugs and their status tomorrow after we have reviewed them. Please note that any of this information may change throughout the week depending on further discussion within the Development Team. |
