| 5s | you |
| 12s | hello there see so much shorter get you |
| 17s | the other chain no no hello there |
| 20s | everybody |
| 21s | just gonna kick back hello everybody and |
| 24s | welcome to another planetside 2 dev |
| 26s | stream it's been a little while since |
| 28s | we've we've done a stream but we feel |
| 31s | like it's time and we've got some really |
| 32s | cool stuff to share with you so what are |
| 35s | we gonna be covering today we're going |
| 37s | to talk a little bit about the |
| 37s | performance that we've been working on |
| 39s | for a while where we are now and where |
| 41s | we're headed we're gonna talk a little |
| 43s | bit the status of the TKO server the |
| 45s | Tokyo server that has been talked about |
| 47s | quite a bit for quite a while we're |
| 50s | gonna go over some of the recent squad |
| 51s | changes that have come to life and then |
| 54s | we're gonna reveal some new stuff to you |
| 56s | guys new stuff oh yeah as always we're |
| 59s | gonna be doing giveaways you have to be |
| 61s | active and chat to make yourself |
| 62s | eligible for those giveaways and I will |
| 64s | call out whenever those are going to |
| 66s | happen the winner will also announce |
| 69s | each of the winners as their chosen then |
| 72s | at the very end we're going to take some |
| 73s | questions and that'll pretty much wrap |
| 75s | it up for this for this stream so why |
| 79s | don't we kick it off by talking a little |
| 80s | bit about what we've been doing for |
| 82s | performance kick back and sure yeah are |
| 87s | we gonna take questions throughout this |
| 88s | new yeah sure we can do it throughout |
| 91s | the stream yeah okay so uh yeah |
| 94s | Roxie's on the moderator ship so be nice |
| 98s | and and we'll get their questions and |
| 100s | answer music um look somehow more |
| 103s | uncomfortable I I am because this desk |
| 105s | is so sharp it's like digging into |
| 107s | different parts of my my body okay so |
| 111s | how are you guys doing so since our last |
| 114s | update we've had some performance issues |
| 116s | that have come up for some reason |
| 118s | they've just kind of multiple issues |
| 120s | sprung up at us like the malevolent will |
| 123s | of some sort of tech god I don't know we |
| 126s | yeah we've done some techno exorcists |
| 129s | exorcisms but yeah so we've been working |
| 132s | on some performance fixes you i encode |
| 135s | have been working hand in hand to |
| 137s | address some of the issues with the UI |
| 140s | showing up and |
| 142s | like continually bringing up what caused |
| 144s | worse and worse performance degradation |
| 147s | things like alerts maps the HUD for the |
| 151s | cockpits for various vehicles and the |
| 153s | killcam and so we've we've addressed a |
| 156s | couple those issues most of those and |
| 158s | we're still working to work on that a |
| 161s | vehicle deaths in particular I've been |
| 162s | called out as something that compounds |
| 166s | performance problems as we go so we're |
| 169s | still looking into that from the more |
| 172s | engine and server side of things we've |
| 175s | looked at the way that our scripts are |
| 178s | being handled and you know previously |
| 180s | with some of the alerts we were using |
| 183s | NPCs to direct the behavior and then |
| 186s | control how the the flow of that goes |
| 189s | but we've since switched over to using |
| 191s | looool exclusively for that we managed |
| 193s | to figure out the issues we were having |
| 194s | with that that should be all good to go |
| 196s | for that we're still looking into stuff |
| 199s | in particular there we recently |
| 202s | discovered a old vestigial system that's |
| 206s | running on the server that we're not |
| 207s | actually using and is eating up some |
| 209s | frames so or not some frames with some |
| 211s | cycles rather so we're gonna be removing |
| 214s | that and that should give us a bit of a |
| 216s | performance increase on the server we |
| 219s | also have are still looking into the |
| 222s | spike in network traffic that we've had |
| 225s | we've got core tech kind of working on |
| 227s | that a bit |
| 229s | some of our top engineers as it were top |
| 233s | man top top looking into that it wasn't |
| 238s | really privy to the fact that our |
| 241s | network bandwidth got increased but but |
| 243s | there was it was something that's just |
| 244s | kind of been in the background for us |
| 246s | you don't really notice it but outside |
| 249s | of that we know that there are some |
| 250s | server issues right now that's there |
| 252s | prevalent on on all the servers and not |
| 254s | just uh and not just with certain ISPs |
| 257s | like it had been in the past yeah that's |
| 259s | right we also had worked one of the |
| 262s | European ISPs we were having trouble |
| 265s | connecting with them and our players |
| 266s | were connecting with them and we had |
| 268s | since worked out most of those issues |
| 273s | we're also I'm happy to say working on a |
| 276s | massive technical undertaking that will |
| 278s | have some performance gains that's all |
| 283s | you get that's all I can't wait to might |
| 285s | drop that stuff I know I'm gonna |
| 287s | literally bring a microphone nice thanks |
| 289s | I just have it in giant quotes here |
| 291s | because that's literally all we can say |
| 294s | but that's that's kind of where we've |
| 296s | been at for for performance we've still |
| 298s | been working on features and such but |
| 301s | it's it's taken away it's it's taken our |
| 303s | focus and you know it's important to |
| 305s | work on so yeah it's it's we've if you |
| 308s | haven't noticed it slowed down our |
| 309s | feature delivery of content to the to |
| 312s | the game and while we can still add a |
| 314s | lot of stuff on the design side from a |
| 316s | programming perspective we've been |
| 318s | dedicating most of our resources to |
| 319s | programming or to performance in that's |
| 323s | yeah let's load us down a little bit all |
| 325s | right no I mean just created general |
| 326s | instability to an uneven performance |
| 329s | like we we were kind of reeling from |
| 330s | some integrations that we did and I mean |
| 333s | we've gotten a lot of benefits out of it |
| 335s | like on I mean our early web pipeline |
| 336s | it's just like so much larger you know |
| 338s | how that it was so we can do all sorts |
| 340s | of cool stuff in the future and there is |
| 342s | just a bunch of other code optimizations |
| 344s | and and all sorts of things so just |
| 347s | stuff that's happening in the background |
| 348s | that you know it's kind of rough now and |
| 352s | like Nick said it slowed us down but |
| 353s | there's no second light at the end of |
| 355s | the tunnel and it'll be better for it |
| 356s | starting to see that light at the end of |
| 358s | the day yeah and it's all in the |
| 359s | interest of doing cool things and |
| 360s | presenting the best possible game we can |
| 362s | to you guys it for us as well so what |
| 365s | that's enough about performance yeah now |
| 366s | let's get on to the status update on the |
| 369s | TKO server so that's something that |
| 371s | we've allowed to fall into the |
| 373s | background a couple times as different |
| 375s | priorities of shift or shift it around |
| 377s | but we've made it a priority again and |
| 379s | I'm happy to say that we're standing up |
| 381s | the TKO server right now it's going to |
| 383s | be called Sol tech and we're just |
| 385s | starting to run tests on it internally |
| 387s | now but it is set up for the live |
| 390s | environment and we're also running tests |
| 393s | that to allow characters to be |
| 394s | transferred between servers this I just |
| 398s | want to make it clear though to everyone |
| 399s | that's listening that this is going to |
| 401s | be tech that server transfer technology |
| 403s | that is to allow characters |
| 406s | move between the Connery and Seoul tech |
| 408s | servers and and back and forth and at |
| 410s | some point we would shut that off that's |
| 412s | the plan right now there's a lot of ifs |
| 416s | and and what-ifs that are involved with |
| 418s | testing that right now but there's a |
| 421s | plan that we're putting in a place for |
| 423s | it that mostly doesn't allow a ton of |
| 426s | work to be done by like a customer |
| 428s | service department because they just |
| 429s | they wouldn't have the amount of |
| 430s | bandwidth that's necessary to like take |
| 432s | tickets for for doing server transfers |
| 434s | so but yeah I'm happy to announce that |
| 436s | and hopefully there's a lot of players |
| 440s | in the Asia area that are going to be |
| 442s | excited about being able to play |
| 444s | planetside with a much higher ping much |
| 449s | much higher performance yeah so that |
| 453s | they'll be having a lot better time |
| 454s | playing the game and they'll hopefully |
| 456s | attract a lot of their friends to play |
| 457s | the game and we're excited to bring |
| 460s | planets that plan aside of that part of |
| 462s | the world again but into in a stronger |
| 466s | fashion than we did before yes yes so |
| 469s | yeah I hope everybody's happy with that |
| 472s | announcement with that let's let's bring |
| 475s | Garrett on sounds good thank you Paul |
| 477s | you have we have a giveaway that we can |
| 480s | do as well oh yeah yeah so yeah if you |
| 485s | guys was an ice transition yes yes if |
| 488s | you guys are participating in chat then |
| 491s | it makes you eligible for a raffle you |
| 494s | can type anything bang raffle is one of |
| 496s | the things people like the type hey you |
| 498s | guys later nice things about rel about |
| 500s | Roxy all of these things make you |
| 502s | eligible might even improve your chances |
| 505s | it doesn't literally I think I think it |
| 510s | does hello hello Garrett how's everybody |
| 515s | doing it and Garrett's just naturally |
| 517s | taller than everyone else so this is |
| 518s | sorry I'm slouching I'm trying to give |
| 522s | you a little bit there I mean this chair |
| 524s | is a little bit taller that |
| 527s | I'm fine so Garrett you've been working |
| 533s | a lot on the squad system that we just |
| 536s | put out - yeah so a lot of the stuff |
| 540s | that I've been working on in the |
| 540s | background that's been sitting on our |
| 543s | main environment a lot of improvements |
| 545s | on the squad side including working on I |
| 549s | guess making fire teams more robust by |
| 551s | tracking leaders and adding all new |
| 553s | options for auto balancing the squad |
| 556s | squad beacon access changing you know |
| 558s | the way points around just all new |
| 562s | controls for like mentor squads and all |
| 566s | sorts of cool stuff but yeah yeah it's a |
| 568s | there's a lot of quality of life |
| 570s | improvements yeah they came came across |
| 572s | in the squad update and also we are |
| 575s | trying to we're trying to build out this |
| 576s | the system like intentionally we wanted |
| 579s | to more with squads in the future so |
| 582s | it's I the the squad system whether it |
| 585s | was kind of unwieldy to like yeah fire |
| 589s | teams are yeah all right yeah they were |
| 591s | kind of an afterthought and actually was |
| 593s | kind of interesting is that if you look |
| 595s | back in the history of fire teams were a |
| 596s | much desired feature lightweight way |
| 601s | back we're talking about a couple of |
| 603s | years few years few years so it was they |
| 606s | were added somewhat hastily I believe |
| 609s | based on the and but then nobody used |
| 612s | them like how would you use fire teams |
| 613s | so we're trying to build it out to give |
| 616s | you a reason to use it make it easier |
| 617s | make just just give more more power to |
| 621s | two squads in general both in being able |
| 623s | to lead your squad I mean we put out the |
| 625s | mentor system yeah that last update as |
| 626s | well and the mentor system it's just |
| 628s | very it's kind of cut and dry like you |
| 631s | have a stripped-down squad and new |
| 634s | players kind of filter into that that's |
| 637s | system much more or into the squad's as |
| 639s | a priority and it's it's mostly for for |
| 643s | people people who have an interest in |
| 645s | helping new players learn the game it |
| 648s | makes it easier for them to do that and |
| 650s | there's also features that we wanted to |
| 651s | build into two mentors moving on to but |
| 654s | yeah you want to go to gameplay footage |
| 656s | yeah let's let's show a little bit |
| 659s | left pc lessons yours o me okay I'm dig |
| 663s | that weapon alright so one of the |
| 666s | features that we had added actually this |
| 669s | one is not oh hold on |
| 672s | I can't mmm I can't make umm far too |
| 675s | later oh yeah two of us |
| 677s | no no that's still sitting on my machine |
| 679s | at the moment okay |
| 681s | so well then fine but next next update |
| 685s | we're gonna have the ability to to also |
| 686s | show who the fireteam leader is and the |
| 689s | and the ability to to change your |
| 693s | fireteam leader so they'll have a nice |
| 695s | little icon of the suits next to the |
| 696s | name and yeah so fire teams there's now |
| 700s | no such thing as as not not having a |
| 703s | fireteam that makes sense in my head |
| 707s | yeah it's yeah so you're always filtered |
| 709s | into a fireteam now used to like that |
| 712s | used to not happen so when new players |
| 714s | enter squad squads will be filtered into |
| 716s | a fireteam based on which squads need to |
| 719s | the population is divided up and now |
| 721s | just as of the last topics we added the |
| 724s | ability to lock a fireteam so if you |
| 725s | don't enjoy the the auto filling feature |
| 727s | players will just filter into not those |
| 730s | fireteam so kind of a harken back to |
| 732s | what we had before the update but just |
| 734s | in terms of giving you more power we |
| 736s | also did fireteam beacons |
| 739s | for for all players like all players can |
| 741s | have a squad beacon now and there's just |
| 747s | so much yeah yeah I knew what new squad |
| 751s | waypoints hey Nick actually and I kinda |
| 754s | throw in a space here can you put down |
| 757s | the new Waypoint sure I was pointing to |
| 761s | my screen and I have it up on you yeah |
| 766s | gotta be better human beings here we go |
| 768s | well there might I'm not gonna talk |
| 770s | about everything I just said again okay |
| 772s | drop it dropping it like it's hot |
| 775s | okay so you'll see a chroma keyed okay |
| 781s | it's green on our screens oh you can see |
| 786s | what it is oh yeah as you can see on the |
| 788s | screen at fireteam |
| 790s | leaders can in place prior to my points |
| 793s | now and that's just like I can place a |
| 797s | squad way playing I switch it over you |
| 799s | sure why not let's let's show them the |
| 802s | map screen so y-you could place multiple |
| 804s | the fireteam you know I'm gonna hide |
| 807s | these fire teams waypoints when you |
| 808s | don't actually have a fireteam leader |
| 809s | we'll probably do that in the next |
| 811s | update revamped all the icons so that |
| 813s | they're they're easier to distinguish we |
| 816s | should probably do some four four |
| 818s | platoons as well to kind of give alpha |
| 820s | alpha Bravo Charlie Delta some |
| 823s | uniqueness for people who are color |
| 825s | blind to make it easier to to decipher |
| 827s | actually yeah yes yes you I struggled it |
| 830s | to so a lot of these the color options |
| 834s | we have in the game are they are helpful |
| 835s | but also sometimes detrimental yeah okay |
| 838s | well now I feel bad about not having |
| 841s | this change earlier I fine as you can |
| 843s | see on a mixed screen here we have a |
| 845s | little pip which shows the facing |
| 846s | direction of the of your your squad |
| 849s | mates which never used to be a thing you |
| 851s | just used to have a sort goal and kind |
| 853s | of had to guess so a little bit of just |
| 857s | kind of just kind of beefing out squads |
| 859s | in general and in the future we'd like |
| 860s | squad leaders and platoon leaders to |
| 862s | create missions for people to go |
| 865s | participate and I and also like creating |
| 869s | defensive markers and such well we'll |
| 872s | use like sitrep commands and and all |
| 876s | sorts of fun stuff yeah and to get a lot |
| 879s | of that stuff working we have to change |
| 881s | a lot of the backend for how squads and |
| 884s | you know those structures work because a |
| 887s | lot of it was it seemingly when I |
| 889s | seemingly but it's it's somewhat of a |
| 891s | mess in ways like fire teams were a sort |
| 894s | of afterthought and so having to you |
| 898s | know flush out some of those systems and |
| 899s | bring some of them to be parallel on |
| 902s | different sides of the code requires |
| 905s | quite a bit more work for me but today |
| 908s | it's all fun but you know we're really |
| 912s | hoping to flesh out a lot of that system |
| 914s | and really give powers to you guys to |
| 916s | you just help your faction help |
| 919s | yourselves and have fun I mean really |
| 921s | what's it's more fun when you're playing |
| 923s | with people and have a goal |
| 924s | yeah and like legitimate powers that's |
| 927s | that's gonna be a thing just yeah |
| 929s | calling in like recon drones and |
| 931s | blackout areas and maybe some larger |
| 935s | elements and like there will be more |
| 937s | reward for playing in a in a squad and |
| 941s | yeah that's what we're shooting for in |
| 943s | the future |
| 943s | mm-hmm all right what else we got did |
| 946s | you want to talk a little bit more about |
| 948s | anything else that you're gonna add the |
| 949s | squads or is that surgery but that was |
| 951s | that was most of it okay yeah yeah I was |
| 953s | kind of yeah |
| 954s | squad powers go for it yeah we're moving |
| 956s | that direction that's I it is a quite |
| 958s | the process yeah what do you just drop |
| 962s | down don't don't do the map drop down |
| 963s | okay do not do the math okay okay so |
| 968s | anyways let's do another giveaway my |
| 970s | screen now yeah okay so Simon UK won the |
| 978s | giveaway oh yeah sorry about that yeah |
| 981s | um I meant announced that before but |
| 983s | yeah let's do another raffle another |
| 985s | another so yeah just like before make |
| 988s | yourself eligible by typing something to |
| 991s | chat all right so I'm gonna I'm gonna |
| 993s | address something while we're waiting |
| 995s | waiting orders chat people miss miss |
| 1000s | orders chat and unfortunately so we we |
| 1003s | had added a sitrep command like you |
| 1005s | could type slash that's it wrap and it's |
| 1007s | not gonna work now but um actually I'm |
| 1008s | not the leader but I the sitrep came in |
| 1013s | but you have to be it to be at a base |
| 1015s | that's actually contestant so go there |
| 1018s | okay well there's no bases that are |
| 1021s | contested all right well now you should |
| 1023s | just be able to define okay i but the |
| 1033s | the sitter of command was i was added in |
| 1036s | place of orders and orders chant it was |
| 1037s | something that it's it's an unfortunate |
| 1040s | case of the few ruining for the many |
| 1044s | basically the ability to to give any |
| 1047s | sort of person and the ability to speak |
| 1050s | to an entire server is a very like that |
| 1053s | that's a lot of power and unfortunately |
| 1055s | people were abusing that power and so |
| 1057s | we decided to to pull that back and |
| 1060s | replace it with something that feels a |
| 1061s | little bit more that always has |
| 1063s | information for you there is we do run |
| 1066s | the risk of it feeling automated I yeah |
| 1070s | so on the screen you can see that nikto |
| 1072s | is attempting to capture Nason's finds |
| 1074s | from NC information right i you do run |
| 1078s | the risk of like if that appears too |
| 1080s | often it might be ignored and that's |
| 1083s | kind of a benefit that orders chat had |
| 1084s | was the ability to to personalize your |
| 1086s | message but again then also create a lot |
| 1089s | of trolling so what we want to do is |
| 1090s | find some some sort of right now i think |
| 1093s | is like the happy medium where we have |
| 1094s | the set rough command which it tells you |
| 1096s | like a asks for support and tells you if |
| 1099s | you need reinforcements or not which is |
| 1101s | based on the population statistics in |
| 1103s | your region and in the future we'd like |
| 1105s | to flush that out even more even more |
| 1106s | excuse me |
| 1107s | you know to type missions and such to it |
| 1109s | so yeah yeah and i mean right now you |
| 1113s | actually need to be physically present |
| 1115s | at that base and we'd like to make it |
| 1118s | sort of you know easier to use where you |
| 1121s | can just kind of point it out as a as a |
| 1123s | you know leader just say hey I would |
| 1125s | like requested you know work us |

| 1132s | make it more intuitive gonna make a |
| 1134s | gonna make a lot of use of the Waypoint |
| 1136s | system in the future when it comes to |
| 1137s | squads and such yeah yeah cool so it's |

| 1202s | so cool cool |
| 1204s | all right what's next oh wait you said |
| 1208s | we were gonna reveal some new stuff new |
| 1210s | stuff okay it is it's on your screen so |
| 1214s | if I'm just gonna summon this uh sorry |
| 1222s | actually know what Nick I'm gonna send |
| 1224s | it to you for just a moment while I stop |
| 1225s | all summoned a fight okay all right all |
| 1246s | right okay we're leaving okay here you |
| 1252s | see a bastard |
| 1253s | Bastian with a random a harasser on the |
| 1255s | top of it and yeah this okay so I |
| 1260s | recorded this footage twice this time it |
| 1264s | sucks but by the file sizes smaller I |
| 1266s | was fighting with that all day anyway |
| 1267s | all right so now we have what we're |
| 1269s | working on one of the things that we're |
| 1271s | working on one of the many things we're |
| 1272s | working on is a new content for for |
| 1276s | planetside 2 and this is the continent |
| 1278s | of oh sure it's actually more like if |
| 1280s | you look at plan aside one it's more |
| 1281s | similar to to size or but oh sure is a |
| 1284s | continent that it's going to be mainly |
| 1287s | driven by multiple islands and you will |
| 1292s | not have war kids on this continent you |
| 1294s | are instead going to have access to |
| 1295s | passionate fleet carriers and they will |
| 1297s | act as your your suit of warp gates |
| 1299s | there will be multiple investment fleet |
| 1300s | carriers each side will have them |
| 1301s | potentially they'll rotate around the |
| 1303s | map potentially but I what that does is |
| 1306s | it gives us the opportunity to to kind |
| 1308s | of spread the the forces out and you |
| 1310s | will be able to attack attack each base |
| 1314s | there's very limited lattice less bases |
| 1317s | overall more |
| 1320s | to call play it comes in here so this is |
| 1324s | this is a very very very like rough like |
| 1330s | work-in-progress this is I think what |
| 1332s | I'm gonna be showing you is basically |
| 1333s | the result of maybe maybe four days of |
| 1336s | work maybe but there was a lot more work |
| 1339s | just to actually allow you to put that |
| 1341s | four days of working right yeah yeah so |
| 1343s | but now we can actually like do work and |
| 1346s | start fleshing out the continent any |
| 1347s | blue that you see is just marking where |
| 1349s | or water can potentially go and yeah |
| 1352s | those continent is gonna be it's gonna |
| 1353s | be very I have varied by owns one then |
| 1357s | I'll show you earlier is or later as the |
| 1359s | the crystal forest I would we would be |
| 1362s | running around in this in person but our |
| 1364s | our environments aren't applying nice so |
| 1367s | well we'll get it to you in the future |
| 1370s | next time next time for char but yeah so |
| 1373s | oh sure the some of the Lord Gehenna |
| 1375s | continent is that or actually you'll see |
| 1378s | this represented in the terrain I in |
| 1380s | certain places is that the there is at |
| 1383s | the heart of this continent some sort of |
| 1386s | vaanu tak is okay yeah yeah but that's |
| 1393s | that's what's attracting the three |
| 1394s | factions to this place you know there's |
| 1396s | no warp gates yeah and actually the I |
| 1398s | well okay so it's it's an it's in the |
| 1403s | water okay I want to I want to talk a |
| 1404s | little bit more but it's yeah yeah I |
| 1408s | want to explain so I so there's there's |
| 1412s | a submersed neva new artifact or |
| 1414s | whatever it is right and it's emitting |
| 1416s | some sort of some energy or radiation or |
| 1420s | leaking it out into into the the the |
| 1422s | water that surrounds oh sure and |
| 1425s | actually as the as the maybe that I |
| 1428s | don't know the water gets the rains out |
| 1431s | over the continent you'll see that some |
| 1433s | of the the floor is kind of it's tainted |
| 1435s | in some way and maybe not in a bad way |
| 1437s | just like just change a little bit so |
| 1438s | there's a heavy emphasis on honor axiom |
| 1441s | and you can see that the trees are very |
| 1443s | this reminds me of ashenvale like the |
| 1446s | trees are you know changed and some of |
| 1449s | the roots that you'd normally see |
| 1451s | sticking up out of the ground have |
| 1452s | these spires of arak zone and everything |
| 1456s | kind of you know there's a glowy |
| 1459s | elements actually this is all these |
| 1460s | these props are placeholder for now and |
| 1463s | I totally need to rebound some of the |
| 1466s | the glows and the lighting and get the |
| 1468s | colors and yeah in tune but don't look |
| 1471s | at this close you didn't get a second |
| 1475s | take on that one it wasn't kind of |
| 1477s | strong yeah yeah it's I just leave out |
| 1478s | of frustration but yeah you can see this |
| 1484s | this particular area is realistically it |
| 1486s | might be to prompt dense but its its |
| 1490s | most or it's meant to be somewhat |
| 1492s | infantry centric and that you you have a |
| 1495s | kind of a close-range fighting it's a |
| 1497s | little bit more difficult for vehicles |
| 1498s | to move around in but most of the |
| 1500s | majority of the map is very the vehicle |
| 1503s | centric yeah but yeah so the latrine is |
| 1506s | gonna change a lot different biomes |
| 1507s | we're looking at lush jungles and like |
| 1512s | hot springs and maybe some environmental |
| 1515s | hazards I know what you get you're good |
| 1520s | with environmental hazards I'm very good |
| 1522s | with environmental hazards I would love |
| 1525s | to see more environmental hazards in our |
| 1527s | game actually Nick recommended it I was |
| 1529s | waiting for a reaction bottom no it's |
| 1530s | fine just like that's obviously a good |
| 1532s | idea but community it's obviously a good |
| 1536s | idea but yeah this this island is or |
| 1540s | this chain of violence is like the |
| 1545s | entire continent is the size of in dark |
| 1546s | so the biggest continent I bastions in |
| 1550s | the air the visibility right now is kind |
| 1553s | of it's freaking out so you'll see |
| 1554s | things and blipping in and out but and |
| 1557s | it's also kind of causing that hitching |
| 1558s | to so you know these conditions are very |
| 1560s | um very similar to it alive at the |
| 1563s | moment sorry sorry sorry |
| 1567s | I am alaria cyou are right so no but |
| 1571s | yeah that's that's oh sure |
| 1572s | in a nutshell is we're gonna have an |
| 1574s | island continent and you're not gonna be |
| 1576s | able to to traverse her on the map very |
| 1578s | easily like very air centric you know it |
| 1580s | would be nice if we had like an air |
| 1583s | vehicle that could I possibly pick up |
| 1586s | vehicle |
| 1586s | and move them I know that's not even on |
| 1590s | our list it's not on our list for the CR |
| 1592s | I'm sorry thank you all right so get |
| 1597s | hype people say so when do you think how |
| 1601s | much longer you think it's gonna take |
| 1602s | because that's kind of like a week |
| 1604s | immediate question if it took you four |
| 1608s | days to make a tiny little second yeah |
| 1611s | the world you know I was looking at that |
| 1613s | section in the world again I told you |
| 1614s | like 10% that's like six percent okay |
| 1617s | like that little area that's all with |
| 1621s | placeholder stuff and generally not |
| 1623s | final yeah obviously not final you know |
| 1625s | what I gotta go no base design yeah yeah |
| 1629s | that's the hardest part Oh the longest |
| 1631s | part actually the the base design just |
| 1632s | for those interested is so around the |
| 1635s | map you'll see that there was going to |
| 1637s | be three main facilities plus or maybe a |
| 1639s | fourth on the center there but I and |
| 1641s | then the the skylines batteries you may |
| 1643s | have seen too much all right show me |
| 1648s | well just gonna just stuff that they've |
| 1652s | they've already seen hold on I got I got |
| 1654s | a scrub to it there you better put on |
| 1656s | your screen where do I even take what do |
| 1663s | I even see this thing okay okay no |
| 1668s | that's horrible |
| 1669s | never mind but anyway so there's gonna |
| 1670s | be sky Lance battery scattered |
| 1672s | throughout the island and how you how |
| 1675s | you capture it how do you lock the |
| 1676s | content is by by destroying enemy |
| 1678s | passionately carriers and that's done |
| 1681s | primarily by having these these like |
| 1684s | ground like sub orbital defenses and |
| 1687s | firing up at your bastion and kind of |
| 1689s | taking them out so to be kind of a race |
| 1691s | to like disable them or keep them online |
| 1694s | and you know do damage to the the |
| 1696s | enemies and so kind of a very |
| 1698s | interesting a new way to cap to the |
| 1701s | content I still have some design |
| 1703s | decisions up in the air but you're gonna |
| 1704s | see a lot of a lot of indoor bases for |
| 1708s | infantry you'll see some court yards for |
| 1711s | vehicles and again the the content is |
| 1713s | going to be very open for vehicles in |
| 1714s | general so we're gonna try to kind of |
| 1717s | look back yet plan aside one for some of |
| 1719s | the lessons |
| 1720s | and also just planetside 2 things that |
| 1722s | that did and didn't work and kind of |
| 1723s | make this continent try to be brave and |
| 1726s | explore new things but at the same time |
| 1728s | move toward what we what we know works |
| 1731s | and well not to get too far away from |
| 1734s | what everyone knows is planetside 2 but |
| 1736s | to do some new things that we think are |
| 1737s | exciting and the main thing that I'm |
| 1739s | most I mean think I'm excited about with |
| 1742s | those sure is that we're tying lore into |
| 1744s | the actual continent that like it's |
| 1746s | going to drive the actual sort of alerts |
| 1748s | and things that you're doing on the |
| 1749s | continent and that sort of all goes as |
| 1753s | part of like a a push that we're making |
| 1757s | on the lower side of things on the |
| 1759s | website now you'll notice that we've |
| 1760s | added a lower section to the website |
| 1762s | we're starting to curate and edit the |
| 1764s | the Articles that were posted in the |
| 1767s | past or giving them a little bit of love |
| 1769s | there's a bunch of articles that were |
| 1772s | written and never posted and we're going |
| 1775s | through the process of actually editing |
| 1777s | those and deciding which ones to post |
| 1779s | and which ones not to post and we're |
| 1781s | also planning on writing completely new |
| 1783s | portions of story and of course some of |
| 1788s | that new stuff is going to be around the |
| 1791s | stuff that we're working on like oh sure |
| 1793s | so yeah okay okay I got one more all |
| 1797s | right I didn't I didn't show show this |
| 1799s | to you like you know I was just playing |
| 1806s | around oh and I started started working |
| 1810s | on this looks familiar it looks like |
| 1814s | something from planetside 1 yeah well |
| 1816s | maybe no zip lines but I was at blank |
| 1819s | oh and the business freaking out yeah no |
| 1822s | I totally there's not a whole lot |
| 1824s | there's no yeah yeah I was freaking out |
| 1827s | before it's gonna totally freak out in |
| 1829s | here also there's a bunch of invisible |
| 1830s | blocks it you can't see that I'm trying |
| 1831s | to navigate but yeah trying to do again |
| 1835s | more indoor areas and this is an example |
| 1837s | of a cave system that is it's pretty |
| 1840s | vast and just again although the props |
| 1843s | are are you know placeholder II so the |
| 1847s | walls got a little bit glowing but |
| 1849s | there's a lot of Iraq scene going on and |
| 1850s | just this stuff you know seeps through |
| 1852s | the ground and it |
| 1853s | is I just touching absolutely everything |
| 1855s | so yeah yeah so we're actually planning |
| 1861s | on being very transparent about the |
| 1864s | progress of a voucher and like actually |
| 1867s | showing it being created as it's being |
| 1870s | created that's a goal it's a good least |
| 1872s | yeah it would be it'd be nice to do some |
| 1875s | some live-streaming just uh so that I |
| 1878s | can share it's just show just how much |
| 1881s | of an effort making a new content is and |
| 1884s | it's a it is a very laborious process |
| 1887s | and it's a multi-month process for sure |
| 1890s | so and so you can if there's still some |
| 1895s | some hang-ups but I I want to get the |
| 1897s | stream going and and show you just like |
| 1899s | just after hours because this is |
| 1901s | something that I really enjoy doing I |
| 1902s | like um like building out using terena |
| 1904s | door and yeah yeah yeah cool yeah |
| 1910s | shall we start we take a few questions |
| 1913s | I'm sure that there's got to be a lot of |
| 1915s | questions now zero questions no |
| 1923s | questions |
| 1923s | oh well while we're waiting for the |
| 1925s | questions let's go ahead and do another |
| 1927s | raffle yeah so yeah just need to be |
| 1931s | active in chat and make sure you type |
| 1934s | something and we'll be running that |
| 1935s | raffle in a minute |
| 1936s | so with with this very sort of island |
| 1939s | based and oceanic archipelago low I'm |
| 1944s | mispronouncing like oh yeah yeah yeah |
| 1946s | I'm not gonna try to say are there gonna |
| 1949s | be boat vehicles coming to the game well |
| 1951s | you know as the so the lure of |
| 1954s | planetside 2 has kind of has always been |
| 1957s | that Iraq's Ian's just don't know how to |
| 1959s | swim so and they've actually did they're |
| 1962s | just not it hasn't been in the presence |
| 1965s | of mind to develop the technology to |
| 1967s | deal with water sorry so our mag riders |
| 1970s | actually used to float along the water |
| 1971s | and actually you used to be able to just |
| 1973s | just walk under water and plant one but |
| 1975s | no boats |
| 1976s | I mean well if we ever get like water |
| 1978s | tank Never Say Never |
| 1980s | right right not this time |
| 1983s | you're right I am hilarious you are |
| 1987s | you're cracking us all up now the winner |
| 1990s | of the of the raffle is hyperion donor |
| 1994s | so congratulations hyperion donor let's |
| 1999s | see if we got them next okay ps4 update |
| 2002s | yes |
| 2003s | so the ps4 update has been lagging we're |
| 2005s | trying we have always made an effort to |
| 2008s | try to get out everything to ps4 as we |
| 2011s | get it out to PC in this case we've been |
| 2013s | lagging a little bit mostly because of |
| 2017s | the fact that there was this series of |
| 2019s | hot fixes we needed to do on the |
| 2021s | previous update and was clear that those |
| 2022s | hot fixes needed to go to the ps4 which |
| 2024s | sort of restarts our entire like certain |
| 2027s | process and then the other thing is |
| 2030s | we're still working on a series of |
| 2032s | changes to ps4 just to help with the |
| 2034s | stability with that said we're very |
| 2037s | close to a ps4 update and you should |
| 2039s | probably expect the ps4 update next week |
| 2043s | yeah next week good yeah yeah we're good |
| 2048s | I think we're on a good state for it |
| 2050s | whether or not we get the will see some |
| 2053s | performance changes that improve ps4 |
| 2056s | performance slightly mostly to remove |
| 2058s | any hitches that you guys have been |
| 2059s | seeing that are similar to the PC but as |
| 2062s | far as the stability changes we are |
| 2064s | instead of being completely clueless as |
| 2066s | to what's been causing our crashing we |
| 2069s | have a very good lead on it right now |
| 2071s | whether or not that makes it in the next |
| 2073s | update that's pretty dicey but we |
| 2075s | actually do expect to be making some |
| 2077s | significant improvements to stability of |
| 2080s | ps4 within the next update or do ya know |
| 2084s | people probably anticipated the Doku |
| 2087s | carbines being showed off yeah honestly |
| 2090s | we've been focused on other things yep |
| 2092s | else that's basically what it's come |
| 2093s | down to it's important to us to bring |
| 2098s | new something new to the table with with |
| 2101s | these weapons in particular and we have |
| 2104s | some pretty interesting stuff that we |
| 2106s | are thinking about doing with the next |
| 2108s | round of what been specifically the |
| 2109s | carbines and that tech is not ready |
| 2113s | yeah let's see what's happening with the |
| 2116s | bastion fleet carriers so uh no sure |
| 2120s | wait they're gonna be spawn points so |
| 2123s | similar to warp gates you'll be able to |
| 2125s | pull vehicles from them specifically |
| 2128s | don't know what that will mean for like |
| 2132s | might might just get don't know if it'll |
| 2136s | have to be like free vehicles or free |
| 2138s | air vehicles that sort of thing well I |
| 2140s | kind of tomb all that out but there |
| 2143s | there are going to be basis you know |
| 2145s | scattered around a lot of there will be |
| 2147s | a very heavy emphasis on construction |
| 2151s | and spawning at construction bases but |
| 2152s | also there would be some like legitimate |
| 2154s | bases to the players will well actually |
| 2156s | like it would behoove them to to take |
| 2158s | them over before or just off about the |
| 2161s | pasture flea carrier so yeah I don't |
| 2164s | want to talk too much about it right now |
| 2166s | yeah it's pretty good there's a really |
| 2168s | good chance of changes yeah depending on |
| 2171s | how tests our Tesco and how that there's |
| 2174s | some pieces of tech that aren't in place |
| 2176s | yet all right so yeah I don't want to |
| 2180s | get into too many details as far as |
| 2182s | there's a question here about the a SP |
| 2183s | respect system we it's definitely on our |
| 2186s | radar it's not something we plan on |
| 2189s | implementing before the end of the year |
| 2191s | and and I would expect an ASP respect |
| 2195s | system to come alongside another round |
| 2197s | of ASP skills |
| 2198s | so basically around two or even another |
| 2200s | level beyond our current sort of ASP |
| 2204s | rank system so that's when that that'll |
| 2208s | happen it's just yeah I wouldn't hold |
| 2210s | your breath for it cool do we want to |
| 2214s | wrap it up then yeah cool well thank you |
| 2217s | everybody for coming to the stream we |
| 2219s | are hope we're hoping that you're going |
| 2221s | to be hyped about what we're doing with |
| 2223s | oh sure and that what we're doing with a |
| 2225s | lot of the other systems that that we |
| 2228s | just talked about today I just wanted to |
| 2230s | thank everybody for playing planetside 2 |
| 2232s | you guys make it possible for us to do |
| 2234s | what we're doing just keep out there on |
| 2237s | the battlefield to get your friends to |
