Planetside Dev Tracker

Hmm, normally this would be a customer service question. Did they help identify the issue? Are you playing on Steam or through the Launcher? I’ll flag it with our QA team and see if it’s related to a bug we’re tracking.

hawt

We had planned to do this on Live (and will), but it was thanks to a Reddit thread and some quick ingenuity by our UI guys that we were able to get this on Test :)

^This too. We want to be careful with Test values because the lower acquisition cost for OS makes them spammable in a way that you obviously can't do on live (or, is really really hard to do). But OS on live is pretty spectacular and should feel robust when it lands full-on.

^this. Clearance, and space for flyers to turn/maneuver/ascend etc.

Not to gush, but this is absolutely 100% on you guys - I can't even begin to tell you how many players have contacted me asking how they can help, getting their friends in the game, re-engaging their old Outfit mates, sharing all the news we share on reddit twitter steam etc. It's been an amazing month and we'll do everything we can to keep the momentum and good times rolling.

If there's anything else we can be doing to keep communication on peak please just let us know - tag me, or Andy, or another one of the Devs. Just today we made sure there was a live article with an up-to-the-minute launch status report linking both on the launcher and on our Steam community portal, which were player-requested since not everybody follows our twitter or checks the forums. If there's anywhere else we can speaking up and sharing news, let us know.

Hello everyone,

The team is publishing a new build to PTS and expect to unlock at around 3pm (Pacific) today - a little less an hour from now.

If you have time, please patch up and report any critical issues that you may encounter. We will be monitoring feedback over the weekend and publishing any necessary fixes to PTS Monday or early Tuesday. If the build is looking solid by early next week, we plan to conduct two larger-scale public playtests (one geared toward EU primetime and one for NA primetime) by mid-week to confirm whether or not its ready to go Live.

Below are the changes:

Bastion:

• Deployables (such as Turrets) can no longer be placed on Bastion weakpoints
• Flak Cannon rounds now damage Bastions
• Increased amount of damage Orbital Strike does to Bastions
• Fixed a rare client crash that could occur when a Bastion that a player is controlling is turning

Sanctuary:

• Optimized...

We've got some colossal ideas, but nothing specific to share publicly right now.

FYI - we started discussing possible changes to add more boom to the Bastion's demise this morning. Nothing concrete, but the team has some ideas.

Probably at some point. Everyone here is a bit busy at the moment wrapping up the Escalation update.

We are also planning monthly dev streams to discuss the latest and greatest about whats has recently gone into the game, what we're working on for the next update and occasionally some longer-term feature/content roadmap discussions.

Hold our beer.
