| 200s | reason it's magical but we'd like more |
| 202s | like make that let's make that a thing |
| 204s | so with all of that intro out of the way |
| 207s | let's look back at our at the past year |
| 210s | and see what we've added to the game so |
| 212s | I'll kick it off to the to the two |
| 214s | designers to sort of do their best to |
| 217s | recall without looking at my notes you |
| 218s | know everything that we've done in 2018 |
| 222s | oh the big thing is getting three new |
| 224s | people yeah added to the team yeah you |
| 229s | started one uh-huh |
| 231s | a week from or a year from next week |
| 234s | okay yes and Garrett was in October a |
| 237s | little bit before you right before |
| 239s | Halloween and then Zach was it was one I |
| 242s | don't remember |
| 243s | he was probably October - yeah yeah yeah |
| 245s | October as well so basically it like |
| 247s | this past year we we've now had one year |
| 250s | of building out the team and we've been |
| 254s | able to focus a lot on well I mean we've |
| 258s | been able to do a lot I some of those |
| 260s | things like I'm actually one of the |
| 261s | first things that the drew got sticked |
| 263s | on was construction but you know right |
| 267s | yeah sorry I don't mean to devalue that |
| 270s | because it was it was a very |
| 273s | pained part of our game and drew I know |
| 276s | you learned a lot from the process |
| 277s | oh god yeah and there was there was the |
| 279s | system as a whole was kind of in |
| 281s | shambles when I got here yeah on our |
| 283s | internal service and so kind of learning |
| 287s | how all of it functioned together and |
| 290s | then also improving it and making it |
| 292s | there's a lot of stuff that was |
| 293s | yesterday line and actually even later |
| 295s | on the year like we've had some some |
| 297s | troubles that were kind of bogging down |
| 299s | performance and were able to claim that |
| 301s | yes well it was like a massive yeah so |
| 307s | uh what else what else did we do I have |
| 309s | to look at the note I know I'm sorry SP |
| 314s | system was introduced him so that was |
| 316s | back in probably January I think it was |
| 319s | February maybe February okay so I |
| 321s | allowed you to prestige and then you |
| 323s | were able to - well pursue pursue more |
| 327s | than about 100 or 120 rather and let's |
| 330s | see what else is overdue completely |
| 332s | revamp the way the implants worked for |
| 336s | that one yeah yeah I added the the |
| 339s | ability to to purchase implants outright |
| 340s | - and you know double D implant pool but |
| 343s | let's see what else did we do a whole |
| 345s | bunch of quality life stuff so as far as |
| 347s | a headshot indicator and the like |
| 351s | recently the yeah that the numbers on |
| 354s | the health bars we did full timers on on |
| 360s | vehicles and and other things made |
| 362s | support better support for streamers to |
| 364s | not have trolls say stuff it's remote |
| 367s | yep that actually got pushed even |
| 369s | further - leaving channels so yep you |
| 372s | can for those who don't know because the |
| 374s | more I've been talking to people in the |
| 375s | community they've not known about this |
| 377s | but you can leave yell chat you can |
| 379s | leave towels you can leave all of these |
| 381s | different things actually do we have the |
| 385s | UI elements and for that I don't think |
| 387s | so no not yet okay so just a command |
| 389s | slash leave channel right that's a good |
| 392s | one |
| 392s | yep yep and and the UI elements are just |
| 394s | around the corner so yeah we celebrated |
| 397s | 15 years of the planetside franchise |
| 408s | let's see what else new directive lines |
| 410s | for xmas summer and Halloween yeah |
| 413s | actually the other time for the |
| 415s | Halloween Halloween didn't get a new |
| 416s | director for like actually no it hadn't |
| 420s | gotten a new directive until I got here |
| 423s | the fourth year or something and yeah so |
| 426s | actually yeah the when when drew came on |
| 429s | board I was like winding down from the |
| 431s | October Halloween stuff and basically |
| 434s | immediately back into Iraq yeah yeah |
| 437s | well yeah and then the the anniversary |
| 439s | stuff oh yeah yeah I was pretty much I |
| 441s | didn't get around that's why he threw |
| 448s | construction at me |
| 452s | we added vehicle capital basis to all |
| 454s | continents which I think was awesome |
| 456s | that was really good at the end of the |
| 457s | game and anomalies right that which is |
| 462s | probably my free Harry a favorite thing |
| 464s | that was added to the game this year |
| 465s | yeah one of my favorite moments is the |
| 469s | flight of galaxies at the end of an |
| 471s | arrow anomaly yes they're all free and |
| 473s | so they all go to aside actually and you |
| 479s | know we've been iterating on that system |
| 481s | throughout the year as well so yep yeah |
| 483s | what else any anything notable Oh hold |
| 486s | on oh boy oh yeah |
| 487s | so we've activated the salt XR we added |
| 489s | a new server to planetside and even |
| 492s | though we have yet to get the stat API |
| 494s | working for it which is near the top of |
| 496s | our list I can assure you guys that it's |
| 498s | a very full and healthy server so we're |
| 501s | very excited to see that there was so |
| 503s | many people that wanted to play the game |
| 504s | in the Asia area and now they have |
| 506s | finally have a place to play it and |
| 508s | they're just looks like they're having a |
| 510s | really great time on there how many |
| 511s | times do you or how many games get the |
| 513s | opportunity to open open a new server |
| 515s | alright like I mean I completely new |
| 518s | territory yeah yeah this late in the |
| 522s | sixth year so thank you guys for making |
| 526s | that possible |
| 527s | yeah it's if it wasn't for the players |
| 530s | the people out there playing our game we |
| 532s | wouldn't be able to do stuff like |
| 533s | the last one I think was the mender |
| 536s | squads and the squad revamp that oh yeah |
| 538s | yeah yeah I got about maybe like 50% of |
| 542s | the way on that stuff honestly and |
| 543s | actually there's a bunch of things that |
| 544s | we had set out to do at the year but we |
| 547s | I mean you you've you've experienced our |
| 550s | troubles as well there's there's |
| 553s | certainly no shortage of that and I |
| 556s | we're gonna hit it hard next year as |
| 558s | well yep but that's something you say at |
| 559s | the end of this room let's pretend a |
| 561s | good sales ok gone we had we also we |
| 564s | resumed releasing Laura for the game |
| 566s | it's true so that I'm sort of put on |
| 569s | hold a while back yeah and thanks to Rox |
| 572s | Lee we're digging up some old lore |
| 574s | entries that were prepared we're |
| 575s | creating new ones and we're releasing |
| 577s | them and it looks like people are |
| 580s | enjoying them I haven't heard any sort |
| 582s | of major criticism of |
| 583s | yet every time we release a new bit I |
| 586s | make sure to go find the sort of |
| 588s | relevant discussions that are happening |
| 590s | mostly on Reddit and and this seems like |
| 592s | a very positive sort of reactions |
| 594s | happening in there and we're planning on |
| 596s | continuing to expand the lord and in |
| 599s | 2019 |
| 599s | but why actually quite a bit more also |
| 602s | something I wanted to point out is we |
| 604s | did our first dev streamer we were |
| 606s | actually playing games rather than just |
| 608s | yeah yeah yeah and it went over really |
| 612s | positively thank you everybody who |
| 614s | donated but also kind of gave us the |
| 616s | first taste of actually playing on |
| 618s | stream yep and I think we're gonna |
| 619s | potentially yeah we're gonna be adding |
| 623s | fun streams in between our regular |
| 625s | regularly scheduled sort of reveal |
| 627s | stream yeah exactly we can get rel the |
| 630s | play on stream will see like you have |
| 632s | concerns of informants anxiety ever |
| 635s | playing on a system that's not your |
| 636s | Lauren's anxiety huh but yeah well we'll |
| 648s | find a way to get some of the devs |
| 649s | playing in front of you guys and we had |
| 652s | a blast doing that before and we'll be |
| 654s | we'll be doing it again soon |
| 656s | so with that let's go ahead and raffle |

| 740s | happy 6-year anniversary of planetside 2 |
| 742s | yeah well yeah I'll take it a little so |
| 744s | I look like a celebration for my |
| 746s | one-year because as you guys know they |
| 748s | don't I got really sick right around |
| 751s | one-year mark for myself I don't |
| 753s | remember this you don't remember this no |
| 754s | no you don't remember the sick brownies |
| 756s | oh I remember |
| 757s | oh right I didn't eat though they |
| 759s | weren't sick by the way but he came in |
| 761s | after being clearly super sick and |
| 763s | decided to give us brownies and we were |
| 766s | all just sort of like yeah I didn't make |
| 768s | them they were given to me myself and |
| 771s | the team don't worry but I'm gonna go |
| 775s | back a little bit you guys missed two |
| 777s | two great they're not great but fun |
| 779s | things that I did okay |
| 781s | last year one being the construction |
| 784s | there is a lot of placement bugs oh yeah |
| 787s | yeah |
| 788s | appreciate it for sure but there was |
| 790s | there was loads of issues yeah so that |
| 793s | one that one took a lot of sleuthing for |
| 795s | my part Andrews we we had to work |
| 797s | together pretty hard for that one one |
| 799s | gathering information |
| 800s | - trying to reproduce it and those ones |
| 804s | are actually I mean they were fun to |
| 805s | mess with trying to reproduce them and |
| 808s | break them and then fixing him and |
| 811s | figuring out creative ways was it's |
| 813s | actually quite fun and then just I mean |
| 817s | it's it's my heart the bishop I know |
| 825s | this past year that it's yeah usually |
| 829s | don't run down all the cosmetics and |
| 831s | weapons that we've added for a game but |
| 833s | adding the new weapon mechanics was huge |
| 834s | and and that is easily one that that's |
| 836s | near the top yeah but it's still not |
| 838s | better than aerial anomalies no no no |
| 841s | aerial emily's I think are great but you |
| 843s | know just to see them from the ground |
| 845s | but also just did you know attempt to |
| 847s | join the fray what are we getting we're |
| 849s | getting cannon fodder |
| 850s | reflecting for the house hopefully soon |
| 853s | we've the bug is still there where they |
| 858s | look cool they work but maybe five |
| 861s | minutes later it crashes the entire game |
| 863s | so it's a work in progress but I'm |
| 867s | hoping I can you know revisit that soon |
| 870s | and yeah we can start seeing that simply |
| 871s | in December what what we're gonna be |
| 875s | doing as a team is having everybody work |
| 879s | on it kind of take some some time to |
| 881s | work on something that they really want |
| 882s | to do so whether it's a it's a small |
| 884s | game improvement or or you know some |
| 886s | sort of new system or something like |
| 888s | that and what would keep the scope small |
| 890s | but give us some some creative time of |
| 893s | ourselves and let each community member |
| 895s | kind of come up with this you know this |
| 897s | thing for the for the game something |
| 898s | that they personally want to see I know |
| 900s | Garrett has colorblindness so being able |
| 904s | to deploy zones |
| 906s | yeah the note deploy zones right are a |
| 908s | big one for me i I can't see those yeah |
| 911s | I'm sorry yeah I know they existed until |
| 913s | somebody told me yep yep and same thing |
| 915s | with the death screen it tells you a |
| 917s | little cone where you died from right |
| 919s | yeah I played the game for ten months |
| 923s | before I was politely informed by Drew |
| 926s | that they exist I was very frustrated to |
| 930s | find that out because let me tell you |
| 933s | that was really |
| 933s | yeah not knowing where you're dying from |
| 936s | but hopefully we can address that soon |

| 972s | three-month all-access membership and if |

| 1022s | fine that's fine |
| 1022s | oh it is crumbling okay add the greens |
| 1025s | or chroma there we go so what are we |
| 1027s | looking at right so ignore the filter |
| 1029s | because I just wanted to make them a |
| 1030s | little bit more visible so right now |
| 1032s | this is just the normal deploy screen |
| 1034s | with your different right now showing |
| 1038s | you know the three closest facility is a |
| 1040s | big audience oh thank you |
| 1045s | got it we're here now so just normal |
| 1049s | respawn locations and with some fun |
| 1053s | magic here we can change this to now |
| 1057s | switch over to try and use our |
| 1058s | priorities as you see now a bunch of |
| 1061s | stuff just popped up |
| 1063s | and we'll turn on priorities here well |
| 1066s | respawn okay and then while he's doing |
| 1070s | this |
| 1071s | petals TR you who you won that |
| 1074s | three-month membership so |
| 1075s | congratulations will run down the the |
| 1078s | benefits of membership later almost our |
| 1080s | whole audience probably knows about it |
| 1082s | but like there's a ton of stuff that you |
| 1084s | get with membership and there's gonna be |
| 1085s | something extra coming soon yeah alright |
| 1088s | so when I redeploy here the priorities |
| 1092s | are gonna be active where you can see |
| 1094s | the immediate place that you you know |
| 1097s | died from being immediately available |
| 1099s | and then the front line appears shortly |
| 1101s | after but those are just our first level |
| 1103s | priority basically you know under pop or |
| 1105s | places we need you to go and then after |
| 1108s | some duration some of these you know |
| 1109s | inner locations will then open up and |
| 1113s | based off of hopefully what we can test |
| 1116s | turning this on on the test server and |
| 1118s | potentially live because it's just a |
| 1120s | variable we can change on the fly we can |
| 1123s | get some you know real board numbers |
| 1124s | numbers that and you know just see you |
| 1128s | I'll see how it works yeah you guys yeah |
| 1130s | what happens you know it's so I just to |
| 1132s | back up a little bit |
| 1133s | spawn revamp was something that we had |
| 1135s | talked about many months ago and gave |
| 1138s | the design talk out to the community |
| 1139s | it's something that we had been working |
| 1141s | on and then you know those there's been |
| 1144s | a little bit of network performance the |
| 1148s | issue sorts of fires to be put out but |
| 1152s | now actually some of this a lot of the |
| 1154s | stuff is on life currently but is |
| 1157s | missing some some specific pieces that |
| 1159s | allow us to talk about on and off and |
| 1161s | that sort of thing but you will see |
| 1163s | coming to test the ability to or like |
| 1167s | will be opening up and the new spawn |
| 1168s | system so you can kind of try it and |
| 1170s | then later we're gonna be doing some |
| 1171s | some public testing which we'll talk |
| 1173s | about later |
| 1174s | there was some organized play tests and |
| 1176s | then also the the UI is going to get |
| 1178s | some adjustments in the future but the |
| 1180s | spawn revamp is intended to disperse the |
| 1183s | population throughout the continent and |
| 1185s | and make it so the fights are more even |
| 1188s | more often and so right now you see a |
| 1191s | whole bunch of spawn points on the map |
| 1193s | but we want to give you the flexibility |
| 1196s | to go where you want but |
| 1197s | not make it not make it so you can go |
| 1201s | like instantly everywhere that the |
| 1203s | current puck spawn system is it is |
| 1205s | really it does does some peculiar things |
| 1209s | yeah it's an attempt at a gentle push to |
| 1212s | get people to go where we want them to |
| 1213s | go but it doesn't use a heavy hand and |
| 1216s | prevent people from not going we're not |
| 1218s | they want I wouldn't say it's that that |
| 1220s | gentle I mean we do light up like so if |
| 1222s | your your current spawn region you die |
| 1225s | there you can respawn there that's fine |
| 1227s | right so in even an over pop fight like |
| 1229s | if you're at that point like if you want |
| 1231s | to get to that fight you can do that you |
| 1232s | could drop your your galaxy there and |
| 1234s | the participate and then respond |
| 1236s | instantly whatever I that's so that the |
| 1238s | sandbox element is always going to be |
| 1241s | present but you know once you die in |
| 1243s | that area perhaps more recommendable |
| 1247s | areas are going to be instantly lit up |
| 1250s | as well maybe in the future we do |
| 1251s | something that's a little bit a little |
| 1253s | bit harsher like maybe you know penalize |
| 1256s | you for being in that that area or |
| 1258s | whatever when your alpha pop but but for |
| 1260s | the time being we just want to give you |
| 1261s | access to spawn locations that make |
| 1264s | sense for your despoina |
| 1266s | and this is a Sunderer oh yeah that's |
| 1268s | alright it's not as bad as a as a |
| 1270s | teleporter yeah and then so there's a |
| 1274s | bunch of other smaller locations that'll |
| 1275s | slow they light up over time basically |
| 1276s | places that we don't want you to go but |
| 1278s | like it's okay if you go there like so |
| 1281s | you'll you'll see them light up yeah but |
| 1283s | yeah yeah so soon |
| 1286s | that'll be coming soon yes so there'll |
| 1288s | be tests happening both on our test |
| 1290s | server where we will be organizing |
| 1292s | community tests to test other systems |
| 1295s | but this will be part of them as well |
| 1297s | and we'll also have the ability to just |
| 1301s | turn this on on live yet which we're not |
| 1303s | especially scared of doing that |
| 1305s | especially after we test it out on test |
| 1306s | a little bit so just run some even |
| 1308s | larger scale tests of this particular |
| 1310s | rule set right and then we can turn it |
| 1312s | off so we're not going to leave it on on |
| 1314s | live but and we'll run it for a certain |
| 1315s | time see how things play out and |
| 1318s | hopefully people just play naturally |
| 1320s | because if they all start behaving be |
| 1324s | you know differently because they know |
| 1326s | the system turned on then it sort of |
| 1328s | invalidates the yeah yeah well we'll |
| 1330s | certainly do a lot of |
| 1331s | yeah testing so yeah casual return don't |
| 1338s | everybody freak out whenever we turn the |
| 1340s | rolls on that's gonna be my broadcast |
| 1343s | message just don't everybody freak out |
| 1345s | new spawn rolls go on okay so did you |
| 1352s | want to show the new alert yes oh yeah |
| 1355s | all right yeah every row we did that |
| 1358s | so we've fuss over which new alert to |
| 1362s | add to the game next and it was actually |
| 1365s | several that were prototyped and |
| 1367s | hopefully will be returning to a lot of |
| 1369s | those concepts but this one is the next |
| 1371s | one yeah so we kind of punted on the |
| 1375s | death race for the time being but |
| 1377s | decided to whip this thing together so |
| 1379s | if you see these icons they should be |
| 1381s | somewhat familiar for those of you |
| 1382s | who've had a real love and desire for |
| 1385s | the construction system and now you get |
| 1390s | to re-experience that joy with a with a |
| 1393s | refine and refuel alert which is |
| 1395s | basically what happens is here's the |
| 1398s | backdrop right as NS is low encore diem |
| 1402s | and then either some fuel resupplying |
| 1404s | for the the sanctuaries and the the |
| 1407s | orbital satellites on various other |
| 1408s | techy bits and NS is offering a reward |
| 1411s | for those who for whichever faction is |
| 1414s | basically the most helpful so how this |
| 1417s | alert actually works is that there will |
| 1420s | always be at any given time two |
| 1422s | different sign lows or hives rather that |
| 1426s | you can deposit gordium into and once |
| 1430s | these hives fill up though they'll be |
| 1434s | replaced with with a separate set of |
| 1436s | hives there's currently four spawn |
| 1437s | locations total and so like one like |
| 1440s | kind of towards each factions territory |
| 1443s | and then one more centralized so that |
| 1446s | being the case |
| 1449s | this section right okay all right so |
| 1454s | currently you have to fill up these |
| 1455s | little spires and they're color-coded |
| 1458s | for your faction so I'm gonna I'm gonna |
| 1460s | fill it up and you can't fill up the |
| 1462s | other factions but uh no no what's going |
| 1468s | on here you know I didn't say fine |
| 1470s | actually is it not working everything |
| 1474s | works perfect let's see let's see does |
| 1480s | he have like I don't care |
| 1483s | I've debugging on the on the sixth |
| 1485s | anniversary screen no everything's fine |
| 1487s | okay let's do this okay you have a bunch |
| 1491s | gordium so once this thing gets enough |
| 1494s | gordium it has a certain capacity |
| 1496s | regardless of which faction is is trying |
| 1498s | to fill it up so if you if you have an |
| 1501s | ant full accordion and you know even if |
| 1503s | the enemy is protecting it and you go |
| 1505s | suicide and dump a bunch of court in a |
| 1507s | minute like your your points are gonna |
| 1508s | go to about silo regardless so you can |
| 1510s | you can be a real trooper there and help |
| 1516s | okay okay |
| 1520s | something's happening what's what's this |
| 1522s | according refinery is evolving yeah this |
| 1525s | is exciting I haven't seen this latest |
| 1527s | version of the temporary iam is |
| 1533s | delivered to orbit yeah okay I can't so |
| 1538s | you can stand on it you could stand on |
| 1540s | but it doesn't last you off in the air |
| 1542s | it will however disappears Roy white |
| 1544s | ceiling yeah actually a little bit |
| 1546s | beyond the fly ceiling okay but you can |
| 1548s | if you're if you're just flying around |
| 1550s | galaxies or whatever this thing will |
| 1552s | destroy you so so there's that and then |
| 1558s | another one plops down a textfield |
| 1561s | doesn't work and and then you repeat the |
| 1563s | process so so this will hopefully with |
| 1566s | without being too and play at any given |
| 1568s | time I give you the opportunity to not |
| 1572s | only deposit corps diem and and also |
| 1574s | like like interdict you know if you want |
| 1576s | to bring air vehicles and I kill all the |
| 1578s | people run in corps diem and that sort |
| 1579s | of thing so so what would would |
| 1582s | reward be for example let's um let's say |
| 1586s | this alert ends and I I've gathered a |
| 1588s | twenty one wow what am i doing okay oh |
| 1594s | yeah it ends so what happens what's my |
| 1599s | reward gunslinger there we go |
| 1600s | excellent generation one excellent |
| 1603s | outstanding - yeah but there's more |
| 1609s | but there's more there's more okay so in |
| 1612s | addition in the warp gates you'll see |
| 1613s | all the sorts of terminals that you're |
| 1615s | used to except there's a new one here |
| 1616s | and this will be probably textured to |
| 1618s | look a little bit more unique instead of |
| 1620s | just like a bug |
| 1623s | but you approach it and what's that |
| 1625s | that's interesting it's uh it's an NS |
| 1628s | wasp prototype mmm it's kind of fun |
| 1632s | so if you win this alert you'll have |
| 1636s | access to a specialty vehicle more like |
| 1639s | a vehicle variant that allows you a |
| 1641s | Garrett are you around yeah I owe you |
| 1644s | guys the teleport over to you which |
| 1647s | which faction in you want |
| 1648s | I'm currently Tiana's okay a little |
| 1660s | outside just yeah go to head oh gosh I |
| 1666s | wonder I haven't haven't actually tested |
| 1668s | this can we be best friends does that |
| 1670s | have this force right now I should yeah |
| 1672s | yeah okay there you go yeah okay what is |
| 1676s | TR you're doing do we want to see this |
| 1681s | from from his perspective sure yeah okay |
| 1685s | let's see so can you he's got his little |
| 1688s | little corneum corneum harvester which |
| 1691s | I'm about three with a coordinating eye |
| 1692s | most kind of it's kind of strange |
| 1694s | can you harvest this bait now are we or |
| 1697s | within range oh cool I'm Way too close |
| 1699s | to this thing okay I might have to |
| 1701s | increase the range that's fine |
| 1702s | everything's fine |
| 1702s | i and as you can see I do have access to |
| 1705s | an afterburner |
| 1708s | and Valkyries don't normally have |
| 1711s | afterburners just for clarification |
| 1713s | there they also don't have access to |
| 1715s | gordium guns usually and I've got enough |
| 1719s | juice and I'm just gonna so yeah so if I |
| 1722s | click my afterburners on it it's not |
| 1724s | doing any particle effects right now |
| 1726s | that's something that we need to add but |
| 1727s | for those of for those Valkyrie pilots |
| 1731s | you'll you'll notice that we are hauling |
| 1734s | balls right now yeah is there everybody |
| 1744s | fine it's all good school we're good |
| 1745s | cool we're good |
| 1746s | that was some slick flying right there |
| 1748s | skated off the ground |
| 1750s | yes okay and then the wasp also has |
| 1752s | access to Oh No |
| 1754s | let's matter Oh No okay well this the |
| 1758s | soif is a little bit defective oh you're |
| 1760s | trying to show off the Rockets yeah it |
| 1762s | is a prototype after all but um yeah I |
| 1765s | probably didn't fly a label |
| 1767s | gomey but the hospital will have access |
| 1771s | to anti-vehicle belters called the other |
| 1775s | two pummel ours it's a dual tool winged |
| 1777s | fixed-wing and actually this is for the |
| 1779s | for the pilot so the pilot has the |
| 1780s | ability to to fire off the intent of |
| 1784s | this vehicle is to give give you a |
| 1787s | reward for for the alert confliction |
| 1790s | obviously and so it's only for the |
| 1791s | winner don't have access to it and give |
| 1795s | you something something kind of kind of |
| 1797s | unique it doesn't have seats that are |
| 1801s | rumble seats though that that may change |
| 1803s | it's just right now like your head would |
| 1805s | hit the rocket pod so we probably have |
| 1807s | to reconfigure that it does have you |
| 1809s | know a different camera view and and |
| 1812s | that sort of thing so yeah just a little |
| 1814s | bit a little bit different kind of kind |
| 1816s | of shaking it up but variant vehicles |
| 1818s | are something that that hopefully you'll |
| 1821s | you'll see more of yeah as alert |
| 1822s | especially if we start to like tie |
| 1824s | directives to them and that sort of |
| 1825s | thing it becomes a very desirable thing |
| 1827s | like a limited time thing too so |
| 1829s | hopefully a little bit more incentive to |
| 1830s | actually pursue and and when |
| 1832s | alert and maybe even give you a combat |
| 1834s | advantage depending or at least just |
| 1838s | have a little fun playing with something |
| 1839s | something new right yeah yeah yeah and I |
| 1841s | mean this thing is it is fully kitted |
| 1843s | out it is a it has its own weaknesses |
| 1846s | there's max Raygun nano armor or a |
| 1849s | knight now repair as the defensive slot |
| 1853s | so not not a stealth excuse me like |
| 1856s | normally Valkyries would tempt to |
| 1858s | gravitate toward but yeah yeah so we'll |
| 1862s | we'll probably do some some tweaking and |
| 1864s | that's what I'm thinking about in the |
| 1865s | future before it goes live that's it |
| 1868s | cool yeah all right so while you guys |
| 1872s | keep sort of you can keep playing around |
| 1875s | a little bit with that let's really |
| 1878s | quickly the ants ps4 players might have |
| 1882s | noticed that there all the sudden was an |
| 1884s | ant field that appeared on there all |
| 1887s | right yeah so we'll call it we're not |
| 1890s | gonna claim that that was on purpose but |
| 1893s | it is a happy little accident because it |
| 1895s | sort of caused us to reevaluate for a |
| 1899s | moment what ants can be used for on nice |
| 1903s | what ants could potentially be used for |
| 1906s | on the on the on the ps4 yeah and what |
| 1910s | we want to bring this alert to ps4 |
| 1912s | there's nothing that would prevent this |
| 1914s | alert from happening on ps4 other than |
| 1917s | not having access to core diem veins and |
| 1920s | the ant itself yeah actually yeah and |
| 1923s | those are super easy to to toggle on so |
| 1925s | you'll see the ant have basically |
| 1928s | everything except for the ability to |
| 1935s | yeah so the ants will we're gonna be |
| 1937s | giving ants to ps4 they'll have |
| 1939s | everything except for the ability to |
| 1940s | deploy which which means no construction |
| 1943s | yeah but yeah you get to use your |
| 1944s | abilities you get to harvest gordium and |
| 1946s | you get to participate in this alert so |
| 1948s | it's a decent anti-infantry view yeah I |
| 1950s | see a used to great effect by certain |
| 1952s | streamers farm but uh just a loan for |
| 1958s | its ability to sort of gracefully fly |
| 1961s | through the sky with its gordium turbo I |
| 1964s | think it's going to be worth it's going |
| 1966s | to |
| 1966s | whole bunch of fun for ps4 players so |
| 1968s | ant will be coming soon to ps4 and then |
| 1972s | we're on to doing another giveaway yeah |
| 1975s | did you want to bring up the contents of |
| 1977s | the soldier sixth anniversary bundle or |
| 1980s | let's give away to soldier six or |
| 1984s | Federer rentals sorry oh yeah sorry |

| 2004s | design and then you get the the helmet |
| 2006s | as well this is actually not how it |
| 2008s | looks you know I got a lot of criticism |

| 2013s | baller status so I think it looks really |
| 2016s | good dang right I did like that other |
| 2020s | one too though okay who left that in |
| 2031s | there who left what in there nothing |

| 2301s | have memorized and you'll have to go to |
| 2302s | the daybreak website I think it might be |
| 2308s | on the launcher I think you man yeah I |
| 2310s | think that maybe maybe maybe the |
| 2312s | information is on I would just go to |
| 2315s | daybreak games.com slash all-access I |
| 2317s | believe that's the website and it'll |
| 2319s | give you a rundown of all the all the |
| 2321s | advantages that are there so so it's a |
| 2323s | good oh yeah and then every month at the |
| 2326s | last full weekend so it has to run both |
| 2329s | of the weekend days have to be during |
| 2331s | that month some people get a little |
| 2333s | confused including myself from time to |
| 2335s | time that there's a Members Only DoubleX |
| 2338s | variants weekend which is coming up this |
| 2340s | weekend there's a double experienced |
| 2342s | weekend for our our members of |
| 2344s | planetside 2 so should definitely not |
| 2347s | miss out on that yeah yeah you should |
| 2349s | skip Black Friday stay at home safer not |
| 2355s | gonna play planetside skip boys Friday |
| 2357s | oh I know yeah just diversity the |
| 2361s | tickle-me-elmo I remember yeah yeah |
| 2364s | those those nightmarish cuz it gotten |
| 2366s | better I haven't been outside in a while |
| 2368s | [Laughter] |
| 2382s | I knew it I knew it |
| 2386s | okay so let's let's watch the video |
| 2388s | that's on your screen right we'll get |
| 2389s | this out of the way it's a microphone so |
| 2397s | get hear what this looks a lot like just |
| 2399s | regular planetside it's got a weird |
| 2401s | helmet on drive it around and pretty |
| 2404s | much looks exactly the same as regular |
| 2405s | planetside but there's a major |
| 2408s | difference that's going on here and the |
| 2411s | main thing that that we're driving for |
| 2414s | with this is that this is running into |
| 2416s | dx11 renderer so yeah that's a that's a |
| 2420s | mic drop but so yeah but let's let's |
| 2431s | break it down for for what this actually |
| 2432s | if it did break I will reimburse you so |
| 2439s | we're super excited we hope you guys are |
| 2442s | too but our pictures in front of the |
| 2443s | framerate counter frame rates are higher |
| 2445s | oh no no no yeah that was the main thing |
| 2448s | like not not only is this but there's a |
| 2450s | number of things to run down the big |
| 2452s | like the biggest thing that our players |
| 2454s | at home are going to be carrying about |
| 2457s | is we've seen a significant framerate |
| 2459s | boost and this is without any |
| 2460s | optimization at all it's basically just |
| 2462s | getting it running in dx11 all of a |
| 2464s | sudden all of the it starts utilizing |
| 2468s | modern graphics GPUs the way that you'd |
| 2470s | expect them to like |
| 2471s | x9 was not utilizing modern graphics |
| 2474s | cards not nearly the way you know the |
| 2477s | basically that increased we won't get |
| 2479s | into the technical details it was |
| 2480s | creating a lot of technological hurdles |
| 2481s | for us to just it's not normal not |
| 2484s | allowing us and then we were running |
| 2485s | into lawyers materials all sorts of |
| 2487s | stuff that we had accomplished we were |
| 2489s | running into problems that were pretty |
| 2490s | much unfixable they ran all the way down |
| 2491s | to the operating system level and |
| 2493s | microsoft would basically be the one |
| 2495s | that would need to hand us a fix and |
| 2497s | that was not gonna happen |
| 2498s | herds we're not expecting it you know |
| 2500s | it's not a hold our breath kind of thing |
| 2501s | put it in the ticket but you know they |
| 2503s | got a lots of work they have a lot to |
| 2504s | worry about and not DXL like one of the |
| 2506s | last remaining dx9 games that's |
| 2508s | operating out there it's probably not |
| 2509s | way up there list so and that's that's |
| 2512s | completely understandable so we're over |
| 2513s | moving over to dx11 we have a working |
| 2517s | build that i would call this alpha' yeah |
| 2519s | it's it's pretty early it's it's worth |
| 2521s | noting that the footage that that was |
| 2522s | recorded on was on an older version of |
| 2524s | our dx11 code we have plans to do a |
| 2529s | bunch of different things around this |
| 2531s | one of them is to update to a newer |
| 2534s | version of our code so that we can |
| 2536s | better utilize dx11 |
| 2538s | which should see some better framerate |
| 2542s | fixing some micro stutters and stuff |
| 2545s | that we're existing in the code a little |
| 2547s | bit before with some of the dx11 stuff |
| 2549s | and things like that in addition to the |
| 2553s | graphic engine you know the graphics |
| 2555s | itself we're bringing over a bunch of |
| 2557s | system level stuff with it |
| 2559s | for example threaded asset loading which |
| 2561s | is going to be huge on the ps4 this is a |
| 2565s | way to asynchronously load in a bunch of |
| 2568s | different assets so you can actually |
| 2571s | probably get better times on that but |
| 2573s | also have better like cross continent |
| 2576s | travel and you're not gonna see as much |
| 2578s | issue with that or anything like that |
| 2579s | but it's it's really important for ps4 |
| 2583s | since they have they're working under |
| 2585s | tighter constraints as far as hardware |
| 2587s | yeah so that's gonna be something on |
| 2590s | that that's gonna be pretty great for |
| 2592s | them in addition to that when we get the |
| 2595s | DirectX 11 code it's also going to |
| 2598s | include an upgrade to the |
| 2601s | PlayStation 4 SDK so that's gonna |
| 2605s | include tons of optimizations tons of |
| 2607s | like memory fixes and stuff like that |
| 2609s | that the entire game just gonna run |
| 2611s | better and it's gonna make it easier for |
| 2613s | us to develop with it - like there's a |
| 2616s | memory analysis tool that we're gonna |
| 2617s | have access to that'll help us track |
| 2619s | down any issues we have remaining there |
| 2621s | you know just lots of stuff that's just |
| 2624s | going to enable us both from the |
| 2625s | development side and give our wonderful |
| 2627s | players more frames than they can handle |
| 2630s | hopefully I mean certainly more frames |
| 2633s | yeah actually you know it so just - I |
| 2635s | know dx11 is great but we have been as a |
| 2640s | team making a whole bunch of performance |
| 2641s | improvements and you know I've seen some |
| 2643s | posts on Reddit saying it like certain |
| 2646s | people's frame rates seem to have been |
| 2647s | dropped if you have information about |
| 2648s | that please send it to us because I was |
| 2651s | running at a hundred and forty frames |
| 2652s | per second like a couple of nights ago |
| 2654s | which is kind of a new thing for me so I |
| 2657s | and I performance everything felt like |
| 2660s | snappy and kind of better than it |
| 2661s | normally happened that wasn't in be |
| 2663s | excellent yeah absolutely x11 so like |
| 2665s | because again we've been making lots of |
| 2668s | performance improvements especially on |
| 2669s | the design side of things and a little |
| 2672s | bit on the other tech side as well so so |
| 2674s | things I mean the game should be running |
| 2676s | pretty well right now and it's only |
| 2678s | going to get better with the server |
| 2681s | needs some love but oh yeah no yeah for |
| 2689s | sure we've made improvements but there's |
| 2691s | definitely much more room for |
| 2692s | improvement yeah for sure yeah |
| 2695s | so we've been working on it it's it's a |
| 2698s | thing okay I guess it's worthy of a |
| 2700s | number to like you guys will see for |
| 2701s | yourself and we're gonna be very |
| 2702s | interested in looking at the actual |
| 2704s | practical frame rates that are gonna be |
| 2706s | achieved by people when we push this out |
| 2707s | to test and we're hoping to push this |
| 2709s | out to test by the end of the year that |
| 2712s | doesn't give us a lot of time but |
| 2713s | basically the work is done and now the |
| 2715s | work is basically taking it and bringing |
| 2717s | it into our main development branch if |
| 2719s | people are familiar with ya with |
| 2721s | programming terminology at all it's how |
| 2724s | we keep like big features from |
| 2728s | jeopardizing the stability of our live |
| 2731s | clients and that sort of thing so that |
| 2733s | this will be coming to testing and |
| 2734s | in our own internal compatibility test |
| 2736s | we've seen framerate improvements that |
| 2738s | are in the realm of 20% but no I know I |
| 2745s | know I'm just I've imagining the reddit |
| 2747s | poster or like ah oh ya know jeopardize |
| 2750s | a lot of mine is that why everything |
| 2751s | fell down a couple of weeks ago yeah no |
| 2755s | we know we've had some trouble like word |
| 2757s | or aware but uh yeah we're super stoked |
| 2761s | for dx11 we hope you guys are as well |
| 2763s | and we hope you're going to be seeing at |
| 2766s | least some of the the huge performance |
| 2768s | boosts that we're seeing in our own |
| 2770s | internal tests and it gives us a ability |
| 2774s | to just continue to optimize and add new |
| 2778s | features and hopefully give people a |
| 2779s | reason to thank you so between DirectX |
| 2787s | 11 graphic optimizations the larger |
| 2792s | systems we're gonna be adding like the |
| 2793s | threaded asset loading and as well as |
| 2796s | the ps4 SDK coming in and fixing a lot |
| 2799s | of issues you know what I'm wanting to |
| 2802s | see out of dx11 is more more than just |
| 2803s | people seeing the game running better is |
| 2805s | the reintroduction of stuff that we've |
| 2807s | had to potato yes from frame rate yes is |
| 2810s | the bio lab will probably be restored to |
| 2814s | its former glory |
| 2815s | I would guess some of the cool part |
| 2816s | you're not too sure about that yeah yeah |
| 2818s | we'll have to say and the main thing |
| 2820s | maybe if the bio lab is is to watch |
| 2823s | streamers running the game and not |
| 2825s | potato settings they can rely upon their |
| 2827s | graphics cards actually like yeah like |
| 2830s | put on the kind of power display that |
| 2832s | they're paying for so yeah I'm not a |
| 2835s | huge fan of watching streamers playing |
| 2836s | you gotta have like at least like this |
| 2838s | minimum level of fidelity to actually |
| 2841s | like represent the game wall and so |
| 2843s | hopefully yeah you know I think some of |
| 2845s | the potato mode stuff is actually |
| 2846s | culture yes people trying to get every |
| 2850s | frame exactly exactly but hopefully |
| 2852s | hopefully some of that stuff goes away |
| 2853s | cool so what before we do our next big |
| 2857s | reveal and there is another one that |
| 2860s | were another one but wait there's more |
| 2863s | the x11 is not all we will do ahead |

| 2964s | we didn't show this one off earlier but |
| 2965s | yeah it's a living restroom it this is |
| 2967s | kinda neat and for the SF and I was in |
| 2970s | the other bundle and so galaxies that's |
| 2973s | new I'll show that one off forgotten war |
| 2974s | machine camo I am so proud of this camo |
| 2978s | I think it looks great I think it looks |
| 2979s | great |
| 2981s | everything is great and then at 12 |
| 2984s | months heroic boost so for the price of |

| 2991s | [Laughter] |
| 2997s | everyone wants to see your big bundle no |
| 3005s | that is for private times this is a |
| 3009s | character right here |
| 3010s | no yes crush with the galaxy okay so on |
| 3017s | the light no so as the living rust trim |
| 3021s | has this sort of sort of a machine to it |
| 3026s | I think I'm through that the whatever |
| 3029s | channel that is and so it's a little bit |
| 3031s | little golden but in the so in that in |
| 3034s | the daytime hours here we got wine |
| 3043s | making grunting noises well have you |
| 3045s | flied it's very it's yeah it's very |
| 3047s | strenuous okay so the living rest trim |
| 3050s | it basically cakes your your vehicle or |
| 3053s | or any any asset really in a I'm sorry |
| 3058s | living rest room via the forgotten war |
| 3059s | machine camo and adds a little bit of |
| 3062s | old-time Old Earth rust or maybe this |
| 3070s | has caused by nanites as the rest of the |
| 3072s | degradation of the nanites they've |
| 3078s | reconstituted thus calyx see too many |
| 3080s | times yeah or or we have just become so |
| 3085s | bored of of our global like lived I |
| 3089s | lived I lived I that we just want to add |
| 3091s | some flare I think I think we're the |
| 3092s | pink ammo came from I so maybe maybe |
| 3095s | we're just go into different direction |
| 3096s | cool |
| 3096s | yeah I got some rust but I think it |
| 3100s | looks great it's really cool to see some |
| 3101s | of these vehicles with that camo slash |
| 3105s | no flies not a that's not a command |
| 3106s | that's just flying yeah cool should we |
| 3112s | give one last giveaway for the stream |
| 3114s | and we'll do one more all day break |
| 3118s | all-access membership shall we make it a |
| 3120s | three month leave that's what we have |
| 3122s | codes for okay let's do that yeah that |
| 3125s | looks really neat like the way it looks |
| 3127s | right now |
| 3128s | we gonna get a certain angle it's the |
| 3130s | like this right here like the quickness |
| 3133s | action it's living it's rust but it's |
| 3136s | it's rust that that you don't want to |
| 3139s | turn your back on like okay what else |
| 3158s | are we doing we're last winter and so |
| 3162s | that winner is crispy Joe |
| 3165s | congratulations for the three month they |
| 3167s | break all access membership grad school |
| 3170s | so we got I got my microphone back again |
| 3174s | microfiber what I need to did that even |
| 3176s | happen why would I need another |
| 3178s | microphone again |
| 3179s | why don't you do two microphones 20 or |
| 3182s | 18 dollars get your screen prepped up to |
| 3185s | where you want to be it looks like I'll |
| 3196s | kick it over to your screen see this is |
| 3199s | what we wanted to show you |
| 3201s | bambam that was it that was it |
| 3205s | yeah so no but as you can see we |
| 3208s | completely redid actually Thank You Zack |
| 3211s | for for redoing the loading or the other |
| 3214s | characters yeah there it is there okay |
| 3222s | what's up with that one guy the secret |
| 3224s | agent man he doesn't have a faction logo |
| 3225s | Oh take a sack that's bug we need to fix |
| 3229s | that right away okay what is this watch |
| 3236s | this stream never seen anything like |
| 3237s | this in planetside don't bully upside |
| 3250s | down yeah yeah yeah arrr so as you can |
| 3253s | see we've added the Ennis Segway yeah |
| 3259s | in a Segway yeah so the infanticide one |
| 3270s | there was a faction called call them the |
| 3273s | blackops faction maybe maybe yeah they |
| 3276s | weren't a faction oh no no they were |
| 3278s | there were so I I conferred with Burness |
| 3280s | and Kevin oh okay they knew their way |
| 3282s | yeah actually burn burn s worked on |
| 3285s | plants n1 okay yeah that's a lie so the |
| 3287s | Anna's black ops traction in planetside |
| 3289s | one was actually driven specifically by |
| 3291s | the developers like they they would take |
| 3293s | players and so during times of I mean |
| 3296s | either overpopulation or if they were |
| 3297s | just bored I guess they would take |
| 3299s | players from certain factions and then I |
| 3300s | put them in this this fourth faction and |
| 3302s | the intent that was to make it so this |
| 3305s | fourth faction all the other three |
| 3307s | factions would team up and fight them so |
| 3308s | the the NS blackops characters had they |
| 3310s | had more health they had I think they |
| 3313s | could use all the weapons and then they |
| 3314s | had these this fusion Katonah yes yes |
| 3318s | plan aside one we're not doing that yeah |
| 3321s | we're not doing that your fears now yes |
| 3325s | however so the black ops so this is |
| 3329s | essentially a new faction at least in |
| 3332s | the coded a very much we have created a |
| 3335s | new faction this faction is gonna work a |
| 3337s | little bit differently than the other |
| 3338s | ones in the existing three you create |
| 3342s | this robot character and you go in and |
| 3344s | you login and it'll put you and assigned |
| 3346s | you to one of the existing three |
| 3348s | factions depending on population so |
| 3352s | it'll assign you to the lowest |
| 3353s | population faction so as he loads in |
| 3356s | here he'll notice that oh look he got |
| 3358s | assigned to the vanu sovereignty yeah so |
| 3361s | we've gone through and completely |
| 3363s | reworked like every faction interaction |
| 3366s | in the game be it like how you know your |
| 3369s | med kits work or how revives work or |
| 3372s | weapons and medical spawns and like |
| 3375s | everything from the ground up so NS |
| 3378s | characters are going to have access to |
| 3379s | basically anything that's that's common |
| 3381s | pool so by default they're going to |
| 3383s | start with the NSX lineup here for the |
| 3385s | most part daimyo for the infiltrator and |
| 3389s | the the Tonto for the for the flying |
| 3391s | man's |
| 3392s | and a pilot rockland rifle all sorts of |
| 3396s | fun stuff they use common pool weapons |
| 3398s | completely faction agnostic they are |
| 3402s | assigned to a specific team so as you'll |
| 3405s | look here there is some wonderful trim |
| 3408s | could you go back to that for a second |
| 3409s | yeah their character is tinted based on |
| 3412s | the faction that they belong to so here |
| 3414s | you see the nice purple and teal tint of |
| 3417s | the vanu sovereignty Anna and I said |
| 3418s | these are glowy emissive bits or you're |
| 3420s | gonna need to use a little bit of |
| 3421s | cleanup oh yeah yeah so wins over Salone |
| 3424s | actually for those of you who are |
| 3427s | curious this was Dokus three-month |
| 3430s | project I know he's been teasing and |
| 3434s | honestly like he's done amazing work on |
| 3436s | this I'm really looking forward to be |
| 3439s | afar though I can't help but actually |
| 3448s | you know what so a lot of the community |
| 3449s | members and we're trying to give like |
| 3451s | hints like to that direction it's like |
| 3453s | it's yours |
| 3457s | yeah so one of the screenshots that was |
| 3460s | put out on Twitter was was the old there |
| 3462s | was this old shed in the middle of in |
| 3465s | dark and dusty old and dark and there |
| 3467s | used to be a glass pane that you look |
| 3469s | through and you'd see the old VFR model |
| 3471s | the old TR beer at VFR model alright so |
| 3474s | it was just that screenshot at the shed |
| 3476s | and I think a couple people picked up on |
| 3477s | it and so we're just like like push it |
| 3480s | that direction but but no no no bfr is |
| 3483s | I'm what I kind of am i pressing just |
| 3491s | buttons as you can see it the other |
| 3497s | blackops faction runs much faster than |
| 3499s | [Laughter] |
| 3505s | normally there's there's no major health |
| 3508s | pools and anything like like that I know |
| 3510s | that was traditional to the plan aside |
| 3512s | want but our game is like wheat these |
| 3515s | are this another character so they're |
| 3517s | going to be assisting the lowest |
| 3518s | populated faction and because of that |
| 3519s | because they're assisting the lowest |
| 3521s | populated faction fights should be more |
| 3524s | fair across the continent |
| 3525s | and and actually the wait times for |
| 3528s | members are going down which is |
| 3529s | fortunate because this can I say it is a |
| 3532s | this is a Members Only feature and so |
| 3536s | you if you have a membership you can |
| 3538s | purchase or I mean I'm sorry if you have |
| 3540s | a membership you can create this |
| 3541s | character and then also in order to to |
| 3545s | continue to play the character you have |
| 3547s | to continue to have the membership like |
| 3548s | that's that's that you'll have access to |
| 3550s | play them exactly so one of the sort of |
| 3552s | just built-in advantages of playing one |
| 3554s | of these characters is yes since you're |
| 3556s | going to the lowest population faction |
| 3558s | of each of the zones that you're going |
| 3560s | into you'll never be in a membership |
| 3561s | queue ever again but but yeah vibe but |
| 3565s | also because of the any sort of queue |
| 3567s | getting into his own and but because |
| 3569s | you're playing as these characters it'll |
| 3571s | make the other people that are waiting |
| 3572s | in queues not have to wait as long |
| 3574s | because you're bringing it that much |
| 3576s | closer to the faction balance that we're |
| 3578s | looking forward to allow for other |
| 3579s | people to join their other factions so |
| 3581s | exactly so this is a feature that |
| 3584s | benefits like planetside 2 as a whole |
| 3586s | and it's something that it's kind of |
| 3588s | been it's it's it's an idea from from |
| 3592s | older times but but now it's here it's |
| 3595s | something we're pretty excited about not |
| 3596s | only was it something that was like a |
| 3597s | you know really large technical |
| 3600s | undertaking to be able to like like I |
| 3602s | said like rework all the faction |
| 3603s | interactions but it gives you an |
| 3605s | opportunity to like play on different |
| 3607s | sides of the war easily and you know you |
| 3610s | can create a a robot only outfit and |
| 3615s | like you know see people across multiple |
| 3617s | different oh yeah you should switch out |
| 3619s | to a different yeah so this is the heavy |
| 3621s | and I think the heavy looks amazing I |
| 3623s | love how it's silhouettes actually it |
| 3624s | makes it really identifiable far away it |
| 3626s | assigns you to a faction based on which |
| 3629s | zone you're in the population that zone |
| 3630s | so if you switch from one zone to |
| 3632s | another |
| 3632s | it'll reassign you to whatever that zone |
| 3634s | happens to need and there's work that |
| 3636s | we'll need to do to make it so you is |
| 3638s | the player I always keep in mind which |
| 3640s | faction you're fighting for because I |
| 3642s | can get confusing if you're if you're |
| 3643s | zone or jumping zones yeah I've done a |
| 3645s | lot of spy before it's it's it's |
| 3648s | something that's keen on perception is |
| 3650s | yeah and so you can currently uh Paul |
| 3655s | briefly mentioned but it's worth |
| 3656s | reiterating I you can have an outfit |
| 3659s | of NS robots they are not on the same |
| 3661s | faction per se they have different |
| 3663s | assignments depending on what zone |
| 3665s | they're in and you know just whose |
| 3666s | population is the lowest so there there |
| 3669s | is some I I want to kind of rationalize |
| 3673s | the the membership benefit because it's |
| 3676s | important that we do it this way as so |
| 3680s | making it a members-only feature is not |
| 3681s | only like adds value to membership |
| 3683s | that's that's obvious right camera would |
| 3684s | you do it not only adds value to |
| 3691s | membership but also makes it so you |
| 3694s | don't have these guys running around |
| 3696s | absolutely everywhere and that means |
| 3698s | that you have more like the faction |
| 3700s | flavors is still present within the game |
| 3703s | so there's still a reason that there's a |
| 3705s | bunch of NC dudes in this bunch of the |
| 3706s | SDS and that's everything and then also |
| 3709s | I buy I think when lowering the I mean |
| 3713s | so the downside of the system is that it |
| 3716s | is is kind of solo player based it's |
| 3719s | like a lone wolf system really I mean |
| 3721s | you can have an outfit but that's no no |
| 3723s | guarantee there's gonna be able to play |
| 3724s | with your friends at any given time |
| 3725s | right so there is drawbacks and we we're |
| 3728s | well aware of that but the benefits far |
| 3731s | outweigh the drawbacks and hopefully |
| 3734s | this is something that's it's fun yeah |
| 3735s | so not forcing people to play this is no |
| 3737s | yeah yeah exactly so and again like that |
| 3740s | with the queue times and just balanced |
| 3742s | fights like that gives us a really solid |
| 3744s | direction to move in when it comes to I |
| 3747s | don't know just yeah just kinda trying |
| 3751s | to create more balanced fights like |
| 3752s | throughout the entire con yeah I mean |
| 3753s | that's a big part of the spawn system |
| 3757s | revamp as well try to get fights to be a |
| 3759s | lot more even that we find to be much |
| 3762s | more engaging encounters much more fun |
| 3765s | for their players yeah |
| 3766s | because even if you if you even if you |
| 3768s | have you know if you have a 50% TR |
| 3771s | population and throughout the entire |
| 3775s | continent like if you're over popped you |
| 3779s | have to put that population somewhere |
| 3780s | which contributes to the user gang |
| 3783s | overpopulation regardless like |
| 3785s | regardless of the spawn system like |
| 3787s | moving players around to different |
| 3788s | locations you you need to to have like a |
| 3791s | somewhat balanced |
| 3792s | the faction globally in order to create |
| 3796s | balance fights so what's the move spam |
| 3798s | command sorry wrong space or whatever |
| 3802s | yeah |
| 3804s | so there's we're also we have tons of |
| 3807s | ideas for what to add to the system to |
| 3809s | incentivize it to make it more |
| 3811s | interesting for all the players that are |
| 3813s | involved and so this is going to be that |
| 3815s | the the crux behind what we want to do |
| 3818s | with our play tests this is will this |
| 3821s | will be coming to the test server later |
| 3823s | today along with the anniversary bundles |
| 3825s | today today today you can play today |
| 3828s | with the robots today you don't have to |
| 3831s | have a membership so we're gonna be |
| 3837s | we're really looking for you guys to get |
| 3839s | out there and and try to see what kind |
| 3844s | of bugs you can find because this is a |
| 3847s | very disruptive system oh yeah |
| 3849s | absolutely we have a we have some known |
| 3851s | bugs already we're gonna be posting |
| 3853s | those with the patch notes there but |
| 3856s | we're really excited about this you know |
| 3858s | it's it's a way to sort of shake up the |
| 3860s | the visuals of the battlefields way to |
| 3862s | sort of give players like a challenge |
| 3865s | when they're playing is one of these |
| 3866s | characters just because they're so their |
| 3868s | weapon selection is a bit more limited |
| 3870s | and they aren't able to rely upon their |
| 3872s | their usual outfits and such to |
| 3875s | coordinate they have to coordinate with |
| 3876s | the faction that they're on there's |
| 3879s | there's a lot of stuff going on but |
| 3881s | there may be unique cosmetics I mean |
| 3883s | clearly cosmetics but there might be |
| 3885s | unique weapons coming to the system as |
| 3887s | well nothing that's gonna like throw the |
| 3889s | game like into a complete disarray what |
| 3892s | are you doing okay good good you just |
| 3896s | wanted it to be no head at all all I |
| 3897s | wanted to do like a freakish face throw |
| 3902s | the camo on though of course so and then |
| 3905s | we got we can it'll be shown up on the |
| 3907s | screen who do something nice well we'll |
| 3914s | just leave a color but the main thing is |
| 3916s | like we're gonna be updating the test |
| 3918s | server you guys will be able to play |
| 3919s | around with the system right away and |
| 3921s | we're gonna be looking for bugs that you |
| 3923s | guys discover and a ton of feedback |
| 3925s | because I'm sure you |
| 3926s | have a lot of thoughts about this system |
| 3928s | and we're gonna be interested in label |
| 3931s | what oh that was a throw innovation yeah |
| 3935s | well it's like grenade throw animation |
| 3937s | okay it's pretty snazzy yeah why do you |
| 3940s | hurt me like this oh and is this okay so |
| 3946s | what that what else trying to show off |
| 3948s | is what we came up with a new incentive |
| 3950s | item to encourage people to be part of |
| 3953s | the community tests that we have planned |
| 3955s | yeah so we're we haven't announced that |
| 3957s | community test yet but we are going to |
| 3960s | be doing some soon and because we want |
| 3962s | to get hundreds of players onto the test |
| 3964s | server to really push the system to |
| 3968s | limits that are not going to be possible |
| 3970s | and unless we were to offer some sort of |
| 3972s | bribe for you guys yeah so it's gonna |
| 3975s | the the item that we've added and it's |
| 3977s | on live right now although there's no |
| 3978s | way to get it is the Ryan throwing stars |
| 3982s | so well just put it on his character |
| 3986s | yeah so this is using somebody I got to |
| 3991s | switch it over to year there we go oh we |
| 3993s | want to see both sides though okay so |
| 3997s | the so this is using the fan technology |
| 4000s | that we had or actually one of the many |
| 4003s | things that Garrett has come up with so |
| 4012s | that's the problem with uh with the fan |
| 4013s | of projectiles right is how functional |
| 4019s | is it gonna be in game I don't know well |
| 4021s | probably it needed yeah great the stats |
| 4022s | here boy but but yeah so it's uh it's |
| 4026s | got some some fun going on not as deadly |
| 4028s | as the what's at the Fujian knives |
| 4031s | ya know virgin is uh is a one-shot |
| 4033s | headshot pretty easily you know what'd |
| 4036s | be fun like to add homing to these |
| 4038s | knives oh boy okay then you're gonna |
| 4041s | have to power them down a little bit but |
| 4042s | yeah that would look neat I've seen a |
| 4043s | lot of games that have that sort of like |
| 4045s | fan out fan ana looks very MOBA if you |
| 4050s | do that but yeah that's that's the item |
| 4053s | that we're going to be giving out for |
| 4054s | participating in the and the upcoming |
| 4056s | community tests and we hope you guys are |
| 4059s | stoked to get |
| 4060s | hands-on that you do not get it by just |
| 4062s | jumping on test server know you'll have |
| 4064s | to pay attention to our social channels |
| 4066s | and notice that when we announce one of |
| 4068s | these events and then show up during the |
| 4070s | the specified time and then we will |
| 4072s | grant it to your live characters for |
| 4074s | participating during that time yeah |
| 4076s | we'll probably run an alert just so that |
| 4079s | there's a more visible start and finish |
| 4080s | time cool and with that we can move on |
| 4085s | to some questions and so let's do this |
| 4087s | stream was gonna run long today it has |
| 4089s | what time is it uh late lean o'clock |
| 4091s | going for over an hour okay oh man and |
| 4094s | so much content we're bringing to the |
| 4096s | people so we're gonna we tried something |
| 4101s | new today we took questions from from |
| 4103s | Twitter yesterday and from Facebook and |
| 4106s | so we have a prepared list of questions |
| 4107s | from various users and we will run |
| 4109s | through them now so the first one is |
| 4111s | from anis Kony on Twitter asked will you |
| 4115s | bring back the roadmap page to |
| 4117s | communicate with us what's in the |
| 4118s | pipeline why and for when this goes for |
| 4121s | optimizations as well as features so |
| 4124s | we're probably not going to bring back |
| 4126s | like an actual pipeline or a road map |
| 4129s | that we will show off on a regular basis |
| 4134s | there's a bunch of reasons for that but |
| 4135s | the main reason is with the size of the |
| 4138s | dev team and the nature of how we're |
| 4140s | constantly shifting between trying to |
| 4142s | develop new features and going back to |
| 4144s | trying to fix things on live yes I mean |
| 4146s | that's just how you that's just how game |
| 4148s | development works in general especially |
| 4149s | on a live product it's like you know |
| 4151s | there's a bunch of features we want to |
| 4154s | do a bunch of cool things we want to |
| 4155s | bring you know this this last year we |
| 4157s | had a pretty ambitious timeline set of |
| 4160s | things we wanted to do and you know |
| 4162s | along the way things happen you know |
| 4164s | tech surprises us or you know something |
| 4169s | that we thought was working stops |
| 4170s | working or you know things out of our |
| 4173s | control happened that we have to fix |
| 4175s | it's it's just the nature of it you can |
| 4177s | you can only plan for so much of it I'm |
| 4179s | also a fan of the when it's done mindset |
| 4182s | whenever in the in the game industry it |
| 4185s | not not to say that we should drag like |
| 4189s | your perfection yeah but but I'd rather |
| 4191s | actually get something to the point |
| 4193s | where we |
| 4194s | feel like it's ready for people to |
| 4196s | actually play with it yeah I mean that's |
| 4198s | the some of the so the Doku carbines you |
| 4200s | know we're kind of on the table and some |
| 4203s | Empire suppose of vehicle weapons like |
| 4205s | those were kind of floating about it but |
| 4207s | honestly they're not done and we're |
| 4208s | content to wait so yeah that the sort of |
| 4211s | mentality is is more beneficial for our |
| 4212s | team |
| 4213s | then then would be to like try to push |
| 4215s | these deadlines and that is pushing |
| 4217s | deadlines has certainly happened in the |
| 4218s | past and the community pays for |
| 4219s | repercussions so we we don't we want to |
| 4222s | try to stay away from that as much as |
| 4223s | possible and unfortunately roadmaps |
| 4225s | reinforce that mentality of like okay we |
| 4228s | we have this a certain amount of time |
| 4230s | basically to do something and that's |
| 4233s | just it's not good for either one of us |
| 4235s | you so with all that said of course |
| 4237s | we're going to share with you guys what |
| 4238s | we're working on we'd like to surprise |
| 4240s | you from time to time let's drive like |
| 4241s | with the NS operatives here and we also |
| 4246s | will try to give do our best to give you |
| 4249s | guys some of our long-term visions for |
| 4251s | the game but we're not going to put it |
| 4253s | into the format of a road map it just it |
| 4256s | doesn't suit us and I don't think it's |
| 4258s | it suits the community either it's |
| 4260s | something we don't want to we don't want |
| 4262s | to get you guys excited for something |
| 4263s | that we're working on and disappoint you |
| 4267s | ultimately like we want to we want to |
| 4269s | try to the line to you exactly surprise |
| 4271s | you a little bit bring you you know |
| 4274s | sometimes things just don't work out you |
| 4276s | know okay we'll move on to the next |
| 4283s | quote I think we just we meet the dead |
| 4286s | robot J Smith e6 13 on Twitter asked |
| 4290s | when will the character transfers from |
| 4292s | Connery to soul tech be available so the |
| 4295s | answer to that is December 1st probably |
| 4299s | we have the tech for it we have now sort |
| 4303s | of stabilized everything that was sort |
| 4304s | of what was preventing us from turning |
| 4306s | it on all this time and that that's now |
| 4309s | our plan is to turn it on and let it run |
| 4312s | the whole month of December this will |
| 4314s | allow for not only Connery to soul tech |
| 4315s | transfers but soul technical Connery |
| 4317s | transfers so people can sort of dip |
| 4319s | their toes in see what with their |
| 4321s | performances what the experience is on |
| 4323s | the other server and then jump back to |
| 4324s | back and forth so |
| 4327s | that's one that's planned so I say |
| 4331s | probably because we still have some more |
| 4332s | tests to run but I think we're in a |
| 4334s | pretty safe place to do it for descent |
| 4336s | yeah and you had mentioned that you can |
| 4338s | go back and forth but we're going to |
| 4340s | stop doing that way at the end of |
| 4342s | December so at the end of 2018 you will |
| 4344s | no longer be able to move your character |
| 4345s | back and forth we will remind people and |
| 4347s | remind them and remind them again |
| 4349s | and wherever you end up after the year |
| 4351s | is over |
| 4352s | that's that's where your character will |
| 4354s | stay yep |
| 4355s | so be careful with that what else we got |
| 4358s | we got leavin tim on twitter asks what |
| 4361s | is and what is not considered stat |
| 4364s | padding construction materials deployed |
| 4366s | without a silo and per mo repairing is |
| 4369s | that is that so step adding is kind of a |
| 4373s | blurry line at times but essentially |
| 4376s | it's any action that is providing you |
| 4379s | with some sort of progression and is |
| 4381s | against the spirit of the game so if |
| 4383s | you're an infiltrator right and you are |
| 4386s | working on your like hacking directive |
| 4387s | you can go around to every single turret |
| 4389s | on or axis and hack it your you know |
| 4392s | operating behind enemy lines but if it's |
| 4393s | you and another infiltrator from another |
| 4396s | faction like you and your buddy like |
| 4397s | swapping hacks back and forth on the |
| 4399s | same turret like that is its that is |
| 4401s | wrong clearly wrong we have some |
| 4404s | expectation you're trying to help your |
| 4409s | faction you're trying to help your team |
| 4411s | you're trying to engage in the gameplay |
| 4413s | and combat and everything and just you |
| 4417s | know plopping down some equipment |
| 4420s | somewhere in the middle of nowhere and |
| 4421s | just continually farming XP off it is |
| 4424s | not that so benefitting anyone but |
| 4427s | yourself we pointed for it yeah yeah so |
| 4430s | just and if you see somebody like doing |
| 4431s | those sort of stuff either put an end to |
| 4433s | it which is always fun or or you know |
| 4436s | step away something don't hurt to say |
| 4438s | something don't make it a bit like I'm |
| 4440s | not I'm saying no team killing yeah yeah |
| 4444s | I know I get it like right you want to |
| 4447s | put it into it the best way to get rid |
| 4449s | of them or stuff to do enemy factions |
| 4454s | pretty elaborate you could just like |
| 4457s | yeah it senator reports thunder slash |
| 4460s | bug |
| 4460s | and we read these things it sort of have |
| 4463s | started happening at a rate that we were |
| 4466s | having trouble controlling and really |
| 4468s | where we want to deploy like |
| 4470s | programmatic ways of preventing this |
| 4473s | kind of behavior it's really hard to get |
| 4475s | around douchey behavior like it's it's a |
| 4477s | challenge you know |
| 4478s | so anyways we'll stop with that and I |
| 4482s | hope that answers some of your questions |
| 4483s | is like it is a bit of a gray area I |
| 4486s | wish we could draw like a very clear |
| 4488s | line for you but like when you know your |
| 4490s | your do if you should know whenever |
| 4492s | you're doing something shady it's |
| 4493s | probably cheating yeah yeah X 966 on |
| 4498s | Twitter asks do you still plan on adding |
| 4501s | lure clues into the game can you say |
| 4503s | anything about the upcoming alerts so we |
| 4505s | talked about little builders we did but |
| 4508s | lore clues for the game so it'd be nice |
| 4510s | for us to or it's something we want to |
| 4513s | do we want you to be able to to search |
| 4516s | and explore and find you know maybe |
| 4517s | little collectibles or complete small |
| 4520s | directives maybe it gives you access to |
| 4522s | like a codex terminal and that sort of |
| 4523s | thing it gives you little insights about |
| 4527s | the the different locations on our axis |
| 4529s | that's very least we do have a limit |
| 4533s | with with how much we can transition |
| 4537s | don't help me out here sorry I was |
| 4539s | paying attention yes we have a sort of |
| 4546s | we have a budget that is actually not |
| 4547s | super great on doing our localization so |
| 4550s | yeah it cost time and money to support |
| 4556s | which is actually quite a lot so putting |
| 4558s | putting text into the game is probably |
| 4562s | not going to happen not at least not at |
| 4564s | the like very large scale rate right |
| 4567s | right we'll put in little little blurbs |
| 4569s | about stuff instead the Lord that we |
| 4571s | want to put into planetside in game is |
| 4573s | going to be more of a show not tell kind |
| 4575s | of thing right and if you want to learn |
| 4576s | more we're planning on posting more |
| 4579s | information on the website about the |
| 4581s | things we have chronicled in stone those |
| 4583s | so far and yet there is a whole lower |
| 4586s | section of the website if you haven't |
| 4587s | been there you can go check it out and |
| 4589s | yeah so anytime you see like |
| 4590s | novel-length stuff that that's where |
| 4592s | that's going to be but |
| 4593s | as far as Lauren general yeah yeah |
| 4594s | you'll see a little tidbits in the game |
| 4596s | and so some of the lore that you might |
| 4598s | be seeing in 2019 might explore we |
| 4601s | definitely have stuff in mind for what's |
| 4603s | going on at nanite systems like why are |
| 4605s | they deploying combat robots into the |
| 4607s | field at this point in the war who's in |
| 4610s | charge of all this stuff and how does it |
| 4612s | all play out in the grand scheme of |
| 4615s | things so yes yeah next question next |
| 4620s | question the next question is from Ravi |
| 4625s | on Facebook not sure if what I heard is |
| 4628s | true but are we going to be able to |
| 4629s | craft exceptional implants and if so any |
| 4632s | ETA on this sono ETA but crafting |
| 4635s | exceptional is something that we want to |
| 4636s | do exceptional implants are by |
| 4638s | definition something that we want to to |
| 4640s | be more rare so what will likely happen |
| 4643s | is that like a catalyst or some other |
| 4647s | item some sort of resource might drop |
| 4649s | from you know an alert win or something |
| 4651s | and like a rare some sort of rare |
| 4655s | circumstance right and then you'll use |
| 4656s | that catalyst along with I so for to to |
| 4659s | combine and create or maybe multiple |
| 4662s | craftable items we'll have to look into |
| 4664s | how it works and yeah I definitely don't |
| 4667s | want to make it feel like it's just a |
| 4668s | drop that you get from a loot table |
| 4671s | where you have to pay some I so there |
| 4673s | should be a little bit yeah they're more |
| 4675s | involved than just dropping down some |
| 4677s | but that's the main thing they are |
| 4679s | exceptional and thus are harder to |
| 4681s | reproduce yep so that's what we have in |
| 4684s | mind we don't have an ETA on it though |
| 4686s | right now the last question we got from |
| 4689s | Xavier on Facebook is our outfit |
| 4692s | overhauls planned and so instead of |
| 4694s | answering that question immediately I'll |
| 4697s | segue into the last thing we're going to |
| 4699s | talk about today is what's ahead in 2019 |
| 4701s | and so that is looking at over outfits |
| 4706s | is one of the things that we want to do |
| 4708s | in 2019 it is yeah progression is |
| 4712s | certainly something that something that |
| 4714s | we wanted to get started on at the very |
| 4715s | least this year obviously didn't pan out |
| 4718s | actually there was a number of things |
| 4719s | that that we wanted to do this year that |
| 4721s | didn't take place but we had a pretty |
| 4724s | ambitious set of we always do and I |
| 4726s | think Wolford |
| 4727s | 29:10 you know what you know what it's |
| 4728s | good it's have to have ambition and even |
| 4731s | though we're a small scrappy team the |
| 4734s | having having like some some lofty goals |
| 4736s | is good because at that point we can |
| 4738s | kind of like like pull things back down |
| 4740s | to reality opposed to and the |
| 4742s | alternative which is to just like leave |
| 4744s | the game floating for it a little bit |
| 4745s | and it's like what what are we gonna do |
| 4746s | I don't know we want this game to grow |
| 4753s | adding cool stuff yep so four outfits in |
| 4756s | particular yes |
| 4758s | f the progression is going to be |
| 4759s | something that we're very interested in |
| 4761s | I'm sorry |
| 4762s | outfit overhauls and progression as a |
| 4763s | part of that for 2019 and personally |
| 4766s | I've always believed that if there is |
| 4768s | any end game in planetside 2 it revolves |
| 4770s | around the outfit level and hopefully we |
| 4772s | are able to bring some of that to you |
| 4774s | yeah |
| 4775s | enabling players to playing groups and |
| 4779s | and you know have a lot of fun together |
| 4781s | and and do all sorts of cool stuff there |
| 4783s | is a important goal for us well it's a |
| 4786s | very it's a lot of fun game yeah like |
| 4788s | exactly not only yeah and you know |
| 4791s | personally I at least myself like it's a |
| 4793s | big part of how I play games so like |
| 4796s | trying to enable everyone to like do all |
| 4800s | the cool dumb stuff that they want to do |
| 4801s | you know and play with their friends as |
| 4805s | much as possible is absolutely what we |
| 4807s | want so incentivize let me do these a |
| 4809s | little bit out of order for what we got |
| 4810s | you next two would be oh sure and |
| 4813s | optimization those are major goals that |
| 4816s | we have for for 2019 yeah we covered a |
| 4819s | little bit the optimization stuff that's |
| 4820s | gonna dx11 is a major push in the |
| 4823s | direction of optimization for the client |
| 4825s | we're deploying a lot of tools and |
| 4827s | making improvements on the server side |
| 4828s | so that's one of the things that we're |
| 4831s | going to be focused on a lot and in the |
| 4832s | early part of the year and with all that |
| 4834s | dev resources being used up on things |
| 4837s | that aren't actual game systems that |
| 4839s | will free up designers to work on pure |
| 4841s | content like oh sure so yeah puts our |
| 4843s | plans for oh so oh sure yeah we had |
| 4845s | mentioned wanting to stream oh sure is a |
| 4848s | 12 |
| 4855s | but we're so much pretty I think the |
| 4856s | robots are pretty that's true yes |
| 4860s | oh sure I there has been some logistical |
| 4863s | issues trying to get basically a |
| 4866s | separate computer set up for me yeah so |
| 4868s | that I can actually work on oh sure and |
| 4870s | livestream it without also showing off |
| 4872s | things that I don't want to show off you |
| 4875s | know right yeah and so that that is |
| 4880s | coming that's at some point I actually |
| 4883s | yeah yes it's coming at some point the |
| 4890s | main thing is as we hit major milestones |
| 4893s | you guys are going to be seeing those |
| 4894s | for sure and as soon as we can get rail |
| 4897s | set up with a streaming rig where we |
| 4899s | feel safe |
| 4901s | haven't you stream from that rig those |
| 4906s | are gonna start immediately so squads |
| 4909s | we're gonna do another round of this |
| 4910s | right right so I this past year despite |
| 4913s | having worked on squads somewhat |
| 4915s | extensively I got put in a lot of time |
| 4918s | and energy and not only shoring up some |
| 4920s | of the squad system but actually like |
| 4921s | like building it out I personally feel |
| 4923s | that we're probably like 50% of the way |
| 4926s | where we wanted to do more we yeah yeah |
| 4929s | so we're gonna circle back around do |
| 4931s | another pass squads should be able to do |
| 4933s | things like highlight targets and create |
| 4936s | missions and bring in Collins and I sort |
| 4938s | of thing so that's that's one of the the |
| 4940s | directions who want to go yeah |
| 4943s | and that ties into the outfit |
| 4944s | progression we discussed earlier yeah |
| 4945s | probably going to be squad stuff that |
| 4948s | gets evolved based on your outfit |
| 4951s | progression kind of it's all social |
| 4959s | group play and I guess a new player |
| 4963s | tutorials about you know your your 7 is |
| 4967s | gonna be the year I promise it's |
| 4969s | important yeah so put up a better set up |
| 4975s | our new players for a better experience |
| 4976s | and you know help them stick around and |
| 4979s | enjoy playing the game get a real like |
| 4981s | crack at it without getting thrown to |
| 4983s | the wolves I was certainly one of one of |
| 4985s | our goals for this year did |
| 4987s | obviously we have some of the testicle |
| 4996s | so it's it's something we're interested |
| 4999s | in something that is gonna add a lot of |
| 5000s | value to the game at this stage no and |
| 5004s | the tech has been like we've gotten rail |
| 5005s | tech to work more interestingly the Lua |
| 5009s | pipeline has been expanded a lot of this |
| 5011s | was kind of foundational for new flight |
| 5014s | tutorials in general but feeling a |
| 5016s | little bit better about the the |
| 5019s | possibility for a commitment to the game |
| 5021s | at this point so yeah we'll just |
| 5023s | continue to harp on it because you know |
| 5025s | despite the game being so old we do get |
| 5028s | a lot of new players every day we |
| 5032s | absolutely love it you know it's it's |
| 5034s | it's a testament to the the hard work |
| 5036s | that you know we have put in and the |
| 5039s | more so the teams that have come before |
| 5041s | us have put in set up the game and set |
| 5044s | up the lore and set up the everything on |
| 5046s | it ya know plan to actually offer it's |
| 5048s | on a very like grassroots sort of level |
| 5052s | with with getting I mean being |
| 5053s | free-to-play is obviously part of you |
| 5055s | know getting all those new players and |
| 5056s | such but we don't honestly do it like a |
| 5058s | lot of marketing it's the existing |
| 5061s | players of the game exactly get people |
| 5063s | to play the game and we're looking at |
| 5065s | other routes of trying to attract more |
| 5067s | people to the game in 2019 and doing a |
| 5071s | dx11 port allows for us to do some major |
| 5073s | marketing pushes that weren't really |
| 5076s | possible for us before and so it you |
| 5079s | guys keep pulling the weight that you |
| 5081s | guys have been pulling we're gonna be |
| 5083s | doing a lot more on our end but there's |
| 5085s | gonna be a lot more new noobs for you |
| 5087s | guys - absolutely no one for you the |
| 5090s | health of the game is great it's a |
| 5092s | testament to the community and the |
| 5094s | players of the game as well as you know |
| 5096s | the developers that have come before us |
| 5098s | and set up this game that's kind of |
| 5100s | still unique in its market in a lot of |
| 5102s | ways no no it's one of them nothing like |
| 5104s | it it's one of a kind |
| 5105s | so getting getting new players a chance |
| 5109s | to own it won't always be forever got to |
| 5112s | get cracking |
| 5116s | yeah we have no intent to it so the last |
| 5118s | thing that's probably our biggest |
| 5120s | stretch goal of 2019 and I think it's |
| 5122s | assuming that we complete some of the |
| 5123s | other things that we just mentioned but |
| 5124s | rested or organized competitive play |
| 5127s | yeah supported end game between out |
| 5133s | that's it yeah we something we want to |
| 5137s | do I don't know how much we've |
| 5138s | elaborated on it stream already but |
| 5139s | there's there's some cool stuff in the |
| 5141s | works so yeah that's basically that's |
| 5145s | all but so we hope we got to the end |
| 5151s | yeah yeah all right so we look it up |
| 5154s | bring it home bring it home all right |
| 5155s | yeah so thank you everybody for being |
| 5158s | part of our sixth anniversary stream |
| 5160s | today we hope you guys are as hyped as |
| 5162s | we are I hope you're thinking that that |
| 5164s | the seventh year 2019 of planetside is |
| 5167s | going to be the best year of them all |
| 5168s | and just thank you the for the community |
| 5172s | for continuing to support the game it |
| 5173s | allows for us to do what we do we want |
