Hello everyone,

Let me start by saying THANK YOU for your patience and support over the past 4 weeks as we’ve been preparing the Escalation update for launch!

As you know, this will be one of the biggest PlanetSide 2 updates we’ve done since launch back in 2012. Not only do we feel an obligation to live up to the immense level of hype surrounding Escalation, but as the newly formed Rogue Planet Games studio, we want to set the tone in terms of quality for all future...

Good luck! I’m sure we’ll see you back PlanetSide soon enough :)

Wrel: These are the initial release costs and timers for War Assets. They'll definitely need tuning rounds after we see how it plays out on Live, but it should give you a better idea of the pacing we're looking at right now

Auraxis Only as in we won't be able to use on Desolation in Outfit Wars right?

Understandable for Bastions but I recommend you guys seriously consider allowing Steel Rains be used in Outfit Wars. Its a useful tactical tool and it looks cool as hell and would certainly play into the "hype" moments you'd be looking for in a competitive environment.

Initially, only Bastion and Steel Rain will be prohibited in OW (ANVIL, OS and Citadel Shield are allowed).

Bastion would DEF be OP, but I see your argument on Steel Rain. Our feeling is that given the map design/cap points Steel Rain in OW will be too unbalanced, and we’d like to see how it plays on main servers (and how OW plays without it) during our first OW preseason. But it’s not set in stone, and you’re likely to see a lot of balance / rule set changes to OW after the update.

(would also be a contrast to the really dark/black screen you guys added on PTS)

Lol yea, that shots pretty epic and ridiculous, I love it
