Planetside 1.5
I had a brainstorm the other day, though it hurt an interesting idea came forth.
We all know about the merit system. But instead of having certs, players should be able to acquire new skills through experience only. For example, a soldier who repairs equipment and troops would be more advanced than someone who just repairs their stuff (more ntu's spent=more experience). The same can be applied to medics. Hopefully there would be more than just the two current levels of engineering, hacking, and medic; maybe players could customize their equipment to heal and repair when they reach a high enought level. Also, the entire empire aspect should be destroyed. Instead outfits must form alliances (can do so with outfits from each of the former empire) to capture and hold territory instead of focusing on bases. Each character would be deleted, but the names would stay with their accounts. In the beginning there would be nothing but chaos but players would eventually form alliances and a much more orderly chain of command.

Could be interesting . But I also like the different empires and the battles that come from them.
I do like the idea of the repairers and engineers.

One of the aspects I found intruiging about Linegae 2 was the player created factions. We look at all the fighting that the Cr5's do in chat, plus there would be need for diplomats...a former area I had expertise when I was one of Osp420more's top henchmen (I started the merger between RP and SL) > I like that action and etc but this could add a whole new demention to the game.

I think they should keep Certs BUT make you take a Test to get them (maby only for vehicals) because you dont just go buy a Certifiction in real life, they make you take a test so you know how to do things.

Ya but its also a MMPG not a RPG. Some stuff sounds too much like a RPG and it wouldn't be the same if they changed it that much. Unless they could figure a way to for it to work.
Sure ya do your cert is your drivers license . |

Sporkfire posted this today:
Someday, down the line, some combination of merits may lead to new abilities/certs, but that's just kind of in concept at the moment. |
