PlanetSide News - Live Version 3.9.6

Posted by Jon Wood on Oct 15, 2005  | 3 comments in our forums

Based on information from a forum titled "Future of Planetside" and the "Development Discussion" message board, the developers of Planetside have selected some topics that are feasible to implement.

Live Version 3.9.6 (October 13, 2005)

Update Highlights:

Combat Engineer Window: We added a Combat Engineer window for viewing deployables. You can toggle the C.E. window by pressing Alt-E by default (remappable in the global keymap list of the Options page). This window shows how many mines, boomers, motion sensors, and spitfire turrets the player has deployed, along with the deploy limits. Project Rabbit Changes:

  • Added Rabbit sound preferences on the Sound Options page to allow players to disable the Rabbit ball drop, pickup, and reset sounds.
  • Changed it so Rabbit ball carriers that are in vehicles that are destroyed by friendly fire are bailed unharmed from the vehicles instead of killed in the explosions.
  • Made the Rabbit status window a bit transparent

Why is this even news? A patch note isn't... really news. I think it'd be more interesting to report that developers have put the future of Planetside more into player's hands by allowing them to vote on the direction Planetside is taking, and what players what most. I figure that'd be a news worthy report.

A tweak to the rabbit? That's major news?

I mean, I see you reporting that in a brief line, but the body of the text in the news should have been that the developers were putting things towards the players, not just a rabbit tweak.

Greetings,

After reviewing feedback from the Future of PlanetSide thread and feedback posted on the Development Discussion message board, the PlanetSide team has selected topics that sound feasible to implement.

 

The topics have been separated and placed into two poll categories - Short-Term or Long-Term.  The polls are available on the In Concept message board and will run from Thursday, October 13th through October 24th. Cast your votes now!

Well that isn't really news since every MMO makes an attempt at that and claims they will follow them, what's news is if they actaully do.
