Developer's Foreword Hey there, everyone. I wanted to take a moment to thank you, the players, for a wonderful year of PlanetSide 2. About this time last year, we mentioned during our last Livestream that 2021 would be all about shoring up cracks in the foundation. When I look at the systems we now have in place or have revisited; the major, multi-year bugs we've resolved; and the loads of quality of life features we've added; the progress that we've made toward that goal was substantial. That said, there have been plenty of challenges throughout: from high level departures of team members ... Read more

All PS4 servers will come down for the following update on Wednesday, October 20, at 8:00am PT (5:00pm CEST). Downtime for this update is expected to last up to 2 hours. -- Koltyr We're re-adjusting our goals for Koltyr based on player feedback. The main problem we're addressing with the changes below is that the zone is available too often, and for extended periods of time. This is an issue that affects some servers more than others. We'll be using Koltyr less like a holding pen for off-hours combat, and put it forth more as a change of pace that can occur during off-peak hours.

• Koltyr now enters the continent lock rotation when the server-wide population is less than 200 players.
• Large continents can now unlock if the server-wide population is greater than 150 players.
• Koltyr no longer auto-triggers an alert immediately upon unlocking, and will instead trigger a Conquest alert (metagame event 215) when population reaches at le...
