"There's nothing as one-to-one as the buggies that's on the schedule right now," Sigmund said. While the development team doesn't have any further PlanetSide items planned at the moment, Sigmund doesn't rule them out, either. One other notable feature for future updates that will intrigue fans of the original PlanetSide is faction-specific buggies. As those people level up in the squad, everybody gains bonus XP." "The way that's going to work is that as a squad leader, you'll be able to flag your squad as a 'mentor squad' and when new players auto-join into the squad, it'll prioritize them into this mentor squad. "The other thing we have, scheduled right now for September, is Squad Mentorship," he added. Creative director Matt Higby discussed giving these squad leaders special ribbons and medals as part of new Directive objectives in a future update, while Sigmund explained the idea a little further.
We're also talking about potentially making the win condition, instead of just capturing territory, a cargo transport goal where you have to capture 20 crates or something like that."īeyond new playing fields, the PS2 team is also looking to make life better for squad leaders and give them incentive to help newer players rise through the ranks. "Right now we're talking about doing the 'floating island' planet very flight-centric, because you're going to have to fly between the two.
"Thematically, all three of them are going to be really different," he explained. Set for smaller-scale battles, Sigmund hopes that the three new locales will lead to some new twists to the PlanetSide 2 formula. I think once they get through their list, they're probably three-quarters of the way through, we can start taking the 'Under Construction' label off."Īs Hossin undergoes some final bits of polish, the team is also turning its attention to Battle Islands. "They're way further ahead than when we released, but because we're trying to keep download sizes reasonable, we're releasing updates over time. "Our level design team is currently going through and revamping all the bases they aren't happy with," Sigmund told Shacknews.
