PlanetSide 2 Game Update 11 Patch Notes


https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/...m-cest.135376/

Updated on PSU PlanetSide 2 Wiki:
http://wiki.planetside-universe.com/...1_(2013/06/20)

All servers will come down for maintenance at 6:00 AM PT (3:00 PM CEST) for game update 11. Downtime is anticipated to be less than 2 hours. Players may note the following changes:

GU11 Patch Notes
General Game Updates
Continental Domination Thresholds


Domination requirement for securing continent benefits has been lowered from 100% to 75% of the territory on the continent.
The point where a domination benefit will be lost increased from 0% to 15% of owned territory.
These changes do not affect alerts.
The Map Statistic for Territory Control now has a visual representation of the thresholds where benefits will be gained and lost.
Our goal is to make continent domination and denial during prime time a tough but reasonably achievable goal and to reduce the situations where entire empires would hold out in a single facility.

Resource Cost Increases for Tanks and MAXes
The below are the new resource costs for each vehicle type and the MAX unit.

Flash: 100
Sunderer: 400
Lightning: 300
Magrider: 450
Vanguard: 450
Prowler: 450
Scythe: 250
Reaver: 250
Mosquito: 250
Liberator: 350
Galaxy: 350
Harasser: 300
MAX: 350

Map Tutorial

It is accessed by clicking the help button at the top of the screen
This can be accessed by anyone at any time.

Interactive Tutorial Additions

Tutorial Intro now includes a list of covered topics and an estimated time to complete
Infiltrator segment now also mentions holding breath to stabilize scope sway
Warpgate Terminal now highlights the highest non-queued continent instead of always Indar
The “Skip Tutorial” option is no longer available if the account does not have any existing characters.
Subsequent characters will have the option to skip the tutorial
Several minor tweaks and fixes to the tutorial to improve usability

Instant Action & Reinforcements Adjustments

Less emphasis on fights where your empire is dominating.
More emphasis on fights where your empire has a small disadvantage
Optimal IA fight is now a bit bigger than platoon vs platoon.
Lowered maximum population allowed for an instant action / reinforcement point to be active.
The intent of these changes is to be a better reinforcement mechanic and to help support and balance the medium-sized fights.

New in VR
Cosmetic items for infantry and vehicles should now be available in the VR training zone

New in Depot
New Helmets
The long-awaited shemaghs have arrived!
New Liberator Glass Decals
Three new and exciting colors for each empire.
Camo Bundles
Coming Soon: Keep an eye out for limited time camo bundles at a ridiculous discount.
Ground Vehicle Lumifiber Trim
Coming Soon: New Lumifiber Trim for your Sunderer, Lightning, Flash and Harasser

General Infantry Updates
Player Movement

Reduced infantry traction. Players will now decelerate before accelerating to their max speed when quickly changing directions while moving.
Reduced player warping
The above should help reduce issues with ADAD
Walking over small ledges will no longer cause iron sights and optics to play the jump animation.

Better Visibility for Friendly Explosions

HUD indicator range for friendly explosives increased from 10 meters to 30 meters.
Improved IFF for Friendly Infiltrators
Any cloaked infiltrators that are part of your faction are now highlighted in your faction color.
This change has no impact on enemy units.

All IR/NV attachments

Added scope sway
dded a short delay when transitioning into this scope

Improved IFF for Friendly Infiltrators

Any cloaked infiltrators that are part of your faction are now highlighted in your faction color.

Improvements to Drifter Jump Jets
Light Assault Drifter Jump Jets have been enhanced to provide a speed boost while using them on flat ground
These should now provide a new alternative gameplay role for Light Assault
Underbarrel Attachments
All underbarrel attachments have been removed from the weapon selection list. They are now mapped to the primary weapon key. Press 1 (default) to toggle between the primary weapon and its attachment.

Miscellaneous Changes

The last rank of the Repair Tool now allows Engineers to deconstruct enemy tank mines. This will reward the Engineer experience.
Placed C-4 now has a visible light attached, similar to placed personal mines.
The default infantry attachment toggle key is now “X”. This will only apply to new installs. Existing clients will still have the previous default of “L”, which can be re-mapped in the settings.

Bug Fixes

Fixed personal mine particle effects not showing if you were far away when the mine was first placed.
The scope sway pattern no longer resets each time you exit the scoped view.

Re: PlanetSide 2 Game Update 11 Patch Notes


GG balanced air to ground.

Not welcomed back Lolpod and air spam all over like release.

What were they smoking when they did this? Did they forget the first 6 months of stupidity Air was when bursters sucked?

Oh wow they gave the stupid giant LOLpod bulleyes a better range and more ammo. Who cares. They will die in one LOLpodding while the air flys away as they did before.
---

Also now a max costs much more then a c4 but a c4 still insta kills a basic max.
the cost Vs power to a max for c4 is now BS
If max's are going to cost 350 basic max's health/armor should be much higher as to not be insta killed by decis or c4. that is too much cost for having such weaknesses.

/nitpick
No mention of Auto Resupply being fixed.
Would not be surprised to log in and see it removed altogether.

Re: PlanetSide 2 Game Update 11 Patch Notes


If by balanced you mean completely dominant when large fights are happening then I agree.

But when you put AA weapons on EVERYTHING it becomes nearly impossible for Aircraft to play a role in large fights. Remember, more exists in the game than just one persons playstyle.

You could be right, perhaps it will sway the balance in the other direction. But I for one cannot determine that based on some text in patch notes.

Additionally, there's going to be a huge ESF update coming according to Higby - that will change things even more. Worry less about balance, more about having fun.

lol.... Yeah real fun when tanks and inf are insta gibed if they so much as go outside a spawn shield. Did you forget the 6 months of release? just wondering. Cause the bursters /were/ pretty much just like in these patchnotes. In fact the CoF looks kinda worse.

But yeah, you have fun easy trolling all over the ground.

As for the air update. I heard. more bombers and stuff. like air needed more explosions raining down on the ground.

Re: PlanetSide 2 Game Update 11 Patch Notes


In all my time playing to date I've managed about 600 kills with Bursters.
I'd say only half of them are actually ESF kills.

Not something I look at in the weapons stats and think is OP.

I was sure we saw a balance pass on Bursters not so long ago where Higby stated they were more of a deterrent.
Will they now be more of a limp MAX waving sticks in the air saying, Over here...Over here!!

It wasn't so much AA was OP it was that everyone and their mom, and their grandmother had AA. Forsaken One sounds like you need to go outside for a while and take a breather or something. I suggest you look up the definition to Trolling as well..

It sounds to me like you just hate aircraft, and even if they all were fitted with pea shooters you would be upset.

I definately get upset when being smashed around by ESFs on foot. Being an experienced infantry player I can personally vouch for AA being very easy to use, and overpowered. (When it is used in mass, aircraft simply can't fly there.)

Hamma is right about the AA being overpowered - and I'm not a "flyboy".
Flak has been RIDICULOUS, people hiding behind spawn shields spamming AA isn't legit, every noob a lock-on rocket launcher wielded, every vehicle can tote AA thus amplifying it's power to every inch of Auraxis.

I'd be more concerned about SOE MAX balancing and MBT secondary gunner balancing, rather than worrying about ESF secondary weapons being used well...

-ESF's and even Liberators aren't a threat to orchestrated infantry/vehicle AA squads - In fact they're easy pickings.

Fact is. The flyboys want to easy mode all over everything like in the battlefield games. It sucks and it ruins the game.

If they get killed its "wha wha AA overpowered" But if they get 10 kills a death easy in their jets/helis its "lulz I has skills"

Its mostly a bunch of stupid people with the mentality of those kids on X-boxs who talk shit while 360 no scoping.

and hamma please. If ESFs could /only/ use their bullet guns and AA rockets I'd be fine with them. But the lib would need less armor if it was still insta gibbing tanks because burster maxs are useless now and the libs will insta gib the Skyguards should any show up.

Now this this is assuming the air update won't get a bomber/something that makes ground battle pointless again.

Then you're saying the Air being able to spam spawn shields with LOLpods without the ability to be countered is legit?

Also everyone has flares, all lock ones other then the striker is worthless. and the striker is only not worthless because it has a bug/feature that allows it to bypass flares with its other rockets.

everything went out the window when you said this BS

Sorry but no, you do not get to solo shit all over everything "lulz unless they have a whole orchestrated team to counter you"
