Hi there Planetmans, During our maintenance this afternoon, we reactivated the Auraximas III Directive to run to through January 18th. We have never reactivated a holiday directive in such a way in the past, and in doing so, all previous progress towards the directive has been lost. We looked into the possibility of restoring this progress from backups, but that process could potentially take days and cause other types of progress to be lost. Given these drawbacks, we have decided not to attempt to restore progress on the directive and apologize to those who thought they would have a lot more time to complete the holiday directive this year. We apologize for the missteps in communication and the progress that has disappeared with the reactivation of the Auraximas event. We may bring The Little Helper shotgun back in another way so that players will have another opportunity to unlock it in the future. In the meantime, we'd also like to mention that the PS2 team's priorities have s... Read more

PC servers will be taken offline on Thursday, December 6th, 2018 at 6 AM PT (1400 UTC) for maintenance. Downtime is expected to last up to 2hours. Connery <--> SolTech Server Transfers We are activating the ability to transfer characters between the Connery and SolTech servers. You can do this from the Character Select screen. If you select a Connery or SolTech character then an option should appear at the bottom of the Character Select screen next to the Play option. When it is clicked the game will process a transfer for your character from Connery to SolTech or SolTech to Connery. Please be patient as this can take a moment. We have done our best to test this system but would recommend you attempt the transfer with a lower value character first and keep an eye on our messaging channels; the official PlanetSide 2 twitter and this forum to see if we are running into problems. We plan on leaving this ability to transfer characters between these two serv... Read more

No downtime required, just restart the game to pickup the latest client. Bounties are enabled again. One of the major crashing issues is now fixed. We still have a couple more to go, more logging and speculative fix to those will be going out next.

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.
