AGN: Post Launch/Open Beta Feedback

[Hamma]

Hey All.

I wanted to create this thread to get feedback on what kind of content you would like to see once PlanetSide 2 gets into Open Beta and beyond.

Would the Community Night Format still work for you guys or would you like to see other types of content? We hope to bring back our old Ask The Devs show post launch, but what other content would you like to see?

[Manitou]

Imbedded reporters doing "live" combat reports from the warfighter's perspective.

[Saieno]

I think having combat specialists would be really nice, to give tips and gameplay perspectives. Have a show of infiltrators, pilots, drivers, engineers, medics, light assult, heavy assult, max units, etc. Could also have shows about base assaults and capture tactics, towers, resources and their uses, etc. These could all be broken down into different shows, and a shorter format could also be adopted to make it weekly 30min shows or bi-weekly hourly shows.

They could be done as Nanite systems tutorials or training videos.

Combat updates would be nice but what server do you report on? It would be a bit much to do all.

Maybe have a news section that could be filtered by server and allow user submition of combat reports. You would probably need more mods but I'm sure you wont be short of volunteers.

[Rago]

Okay "Amp Stations" should have

a Way To Built a Energy Shield by Activating 4 Generators in Small Towers
Arround the Base.

Like
This _
/ \
\ /would be Surround The Important points on the Map, and

would Force The Attackers to Infantry Combat, before they Come in with Vehicles, Mechanism like This would be Fun.

Also Big Boom Weapons like a Ion Cannon Or Similar would be very Funny.Things that can be taken when Defenders work together.

Its just a Idea, First we need to play What or If Works ect.
Anyway a Good idea Hamma:vsrocks:

[Saieno]

I dunno about tutorials/training videos, was thinking of it in the format of video podcasts.

[capiqu]

Yes we want a more active AGN, we <3 u Hamma.

[Rabb]

I dunno about tutorials/training videos, was thinking of it in the format of video podcasts.

That's far too normal. What we need is training vids with cheesy voice-overs like the clips done for portal 2 with Cave Johnson.

[Sharky]

I would love to see what kind of command structure is in place and how it all works, the mission systems, plus if there are orbital strikes etc?

[waldizzo]

I like the embedded reporter idea. Maybe have two or three streams running in a side by side while the AGN staff comments on what's going on.

[Hamma]

Yea this is more for our live show formats. The other things, like tutorials etc would be aside from this. We may leave those up to the community have not decided yet.

[Machine]

I would like to see it formulated in segments like a news cast. It would be great to show time lapse map shots with a break down of tactics used during that timelapse with maybe an outfit interview from a participating CR5 and stats with a leaderboard section and a player of the week etc. Also single topic tactical training vids could be previewed. A dev commentary. An AGN review of tactics from a battle live or recorded. Maybe in game interviews from scenic locations overlooking a battle. And a named or nameless section for viewer submitted kill of the week shots or wall of shame spots.

My two cents... Machine.

[Ragnafrak]

One of my favorite aspects of the video broadcasts are the short bits of reminiscing between guest speakers regarding past in-game events, practices, and other moments of general epicitude (eh piss sih tude).

After release, I would very much enjoy it if AGN would accept player contributions of screen grabs or short vids on posted on youtube of things that happen in game, along with perhaps a short description of what we'd be seeing, and opening it up for discussion/critique from the panel of live speakers.

This could also become like a mail-bag of sorts, where people write in for advice regarding any aspect of the game, in or out. For example, while one viewer might want to know how to best attack a certain part of a certain base, another viewer may have questions related to the current meta game, or even regarding social issues present in the game or on the official forums.

Lastly, I also think it would be fun to have some sort of feature like the "moment of Zen" at the end of every episode of the daily show, where a short clip of something awesome or humorous is played toward the end of a broadcast.

Hope some of this is useful for ya.

Ideas from the Community and feedback. I am more than happy to participate on a live show.

Added: Would be good to talk about Balance, weapons and such. Without crying nerf.

[Vyynn]

I'd really like seeing min maxing videos, or anything testing the balance between two classes/weapons/vehicles/tactics/etc.

DEV FEEDBACK - I’d like to see AGN provide constructive feedback to the devs. If the overwhelming majority do not like a feature or feel something could be improved or added in the game, or a weapon is over/under powered, have a discussion on it. Give reasons for & against. What we like, what we don’t like etc. We’re in a unique situation where we’ve got devs who actually listen to the community, with a great example being the change to the kill cam.

COMMUNITY RECOGNITION – The game will have people who create fan sites, youtube channels, useful tools for the game etc. Let’s get them and their content recognised and encourage them to do more.

OUTFIT/PLAYER/SERVER SPOTLIGHTS – I think this type of thing is already in motion on the main PSU site. I thought the recent article highlighting an outfit (I forget which) was great. When the game is released, I think a lot more could be added to this.

I’m not sure if it’s for AGN to get involved with, but I like the idea of “How to” guides. “How to be a better noob”... “How to play Light Assault”... You could also have general tips & tricks, base specific tactics, continent specific tactics etc. As I say I’m not too sure if AGN should get involved in this type of stuff, as I’m sure there will be plenty of youtubers doing so. Giving them a mention would be great though.

[Graywolves]

I'd like it to feel like the Jedi Council came together to discuss the current events of Planetside2 whether it is in relation to the real world, in-game, patches, or amongst the community.

[Captain1nsaneo]

If we're doing video bits from in-game might want to have a 'bug of the week' sort of thing while we're in beta.

Aside from that I'm game for everything.

[Fab]

For new players (including myself), I would like some tutorial about how to cert efficiently :
-What to cert to become a good anti air pilot
-How to max your tank
-etc...

And yeah i would love to see the command structure and mission system detailled.

[NewSith]

Fight Spotlight:

10/1 there will be livestreams all over the place, some outfit fights recap would be nice. The perfect start is CDL, expanding into some outfits... Would be actually cool to have a PSU "admin" account provided by devs with free flight camera, solely for AGNs.

Also it would be cool for you to contact, what you may call, press attaches from different outfits to give you an inside info on what's happening among their ranks (who got kicked, who achieved what, gossipgossipgossip). One good step towards combining "competitive" and "persistent".

[Lumberchuk]

Community content spotlight would be good, show off the best community videos. Also maybe start with some outfit recruitment video at the beginning as advertisement :P

[Notsononymous]

All these ideas are truly fantastic!

One thing that would be good is to have collaboration with the devs, having a part of each episode (while in beta and post release) where the community can mail ideas they have. I know this already exists to an extent with the ideavault, but if ideas were featured in each episode it would help bring the good ones to the attention of the devs, and generate community discussion of the ideas in the comments. Moreover, the episode could spotlight ideas already in the vault (Lodestar, just saying it now).

[basti]

I would keep the format exactly as it is, dicussing about stuff about the game like balance issues, new content etc.
Maybe figure out how to stream via Hangout (or find a different tool), so we can back up stuff by directly showing it in game. :)

[Dacrim]

Hey Hamma, think you can ask Higby if there will some kind of time limit to spotting? I'm thinking maybe after you spot someone it lasts for 1 min (1 min is being generous, thats actually a long time in an FPS :P)

I dont think its fair for players to be spotted and then escape from them and 5 min later someone else finds them because they're still spotted.

That's far too normal. What we need is training vids with cheesy voice-overs like the clips done for portal 2 with Cave Johnson.

^i agree with this

Balancing has to be nailed first. Hence, balancing feedback from the developers. Collate all the imbalances then the Devs rummage through the list and address them.

[Nefarion]

I would love a training area like in PS1. A great way to test strategies with more controlled variables.

[Neurotoxin]

We hope to bring back our old Ask The Devs show post launch, but what other content would you like to see?

Orbital Sanctuary (Pre-launch)

VR Training Area (Pre-launch)

Vehicle Enter-Exit Animations (Pre-launch)

User Interface sidegrades and upgrades, such as driver/gunner picture-in-picture or limited Darklight picture-in-picture (Pre-launch)

Network Warfare / Cyberwarfare, controlling turrets, spotting lights, battling network viruses, and other things without having a physical character running around in Auraxis, possibly to control with an app on personal mobile devices as well.

More weapon modification (firing mechanism, scope zero point, different grips, different stocks, more top/side/under barrel mounts, on-board computer systems, etc)

Naval Warfare (and Swimming)

Underwater Infantry Bases

Orbital / Lunar Bases

Space Combat

Fully-transitional continent / acquatic / space travel



Basically that's like my 10 year plan for PS2.

[DirtyBird]

I think you should shorten it a bit once open beta is up and running and run it to coincide with any maintenance downtime.
When there is a ton of speculation floating around re beta you can discuss shit til the cows come home.

With open beta up perhaps you can focus on the latest hot topics and have some dev input based on that. Provided they are willing to comment in a timely manner otherwise its useless info.

I think the SOE Command Centre will also steal some thunder so it will be interesting to see how regular that is run and what they discuss and the guests (devs?) they have on.

[Hamma]

Yea they are trying to put us out of business ;)

They wont have community discussion though which is also very important.

[Loco]

Dancing Troupes! The New Conglomerettes! :p

Actually shows focused on one class would be keen.

[TRex]

I'd like to see more of the Pole dancer crushing stuff between her thighs ;)

Other than that, the format is fine.Looking forward to seeing the new studio and such now you've moved to the new Hamma/JennyBoo home.
