Planetside Dev Tracker

We'd like to give a big thank you to everyone that came out this morning to be a part of our incredible charity stream. The PlanetSide 2 community raised a whopping $1,622 which will be matched by Daybreak for a total of $3,244 in donations! For that faction pride, it looks like NC came out on top with VS and finally the TR trailing behind. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of this great cause.

Join the dev team bright and early tomorrow morning at 9 AM PT for a special PlanetSide 2 stream on Twitch as the team braves the battlefields of Auraxis to raise money for Rady Children's Hospital through Extra Life! The devs will be playing on live servers, so the community is welcome to get in game and be a part of this awesome cause. Plus, there will also be opportunities for viewers to win Daybreak Cash! If you want to learn more about Daybreak's involvement with Extra Life, you can read up on our mission ... Read more

The PTS server will be updated this morning with these changes. UI Engineer Ammunition packs no longer overlay terminal icons on the map and HUD. Squads

• /sitrep now uses a more accurate message when defending a facility when you do not control the majority of capture points.
• Fixed an issue where /sitrep would sometimes show negative capture time values.
• Fireteam leaders show a star icon in the squad pane. (This icon will likely be updated to be visually distinct in the future.)
• Fireteam leaders can now be promoted and demoted similar to squad and platoon leaders.
• Players can now leave or rejoin voice channels (but not chat channels) using /leavechannel or /joinchannel commands. You will automatically rejoin a voice channel if your voice privileges change by, for example, joining a squad, being promoted to squad leader, relogging.
