PlanetSide News - Update 3.9.5 Notes

Posted by Jon Wood on Oct 05, 2005  | 1 comments in our forums

The developers of Planetside have released the update notes for update 3.9.5. This updateincludes planned events, vehicle changes, equipment changes, first time help changes, and more!

Update Highlights:

 Looking for Squad System Enhancements

      To help Squad Leaders advertise and manage the roles of their squad and to help the Solo Soldier find active squads looking for their skill set, we have upgraded the Looking for Squad system.

      Squad Leaders can now describe their squad in a short, free form, text dialog, choose which zone they are planning to (or currently) fight on, define squad member positions and define certifications are required for that position., assign squad members to positions, view available soldiers who are flagged LFS that meet the requirements of positions within their squad, and publish their squad to the master list of squads that are looking for squad members. The squad leaders can also save these squad set ups in a special bank of 10 favorites.

      Solo Soldiers looking for a squad can browse the master list of squads who are looking for members.  They can view squad descriptions, who are in the squads currently, the individual role descriptions for available slots and the certification requirements for those slots (if any).  The soldier can then, via the new interface, automatically join the squad if the squad is flagged as "auto join", send the squad leader a request to join or send a tell for more information.

Loved Planetside, but the ingame ads blew the immersion for me, especially since it wasn't affecting my monthly fee.  So I cut my station pass, which got rid of Galaxies too.  Maybe they will find their way in the future, but for now, they are dead to me.  EVE is my new master now.
