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?

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.

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

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.

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.
