Public Test has been updated with the release of Hossin! Additionally it includes some more ESF tweaks, Drop Pod Optimizations and more.
We’ve made a subsection of Hossin available in preparation for SOE Live. You can get there by clicking the “Warp to Hossin” button on the Warpgate Terminal screen that’s been taunting you for all this time. Check Big Lots Ad and Bilo Ad.
Only the center of the continent is available with some temp structures to support the smaller size, but you’ve now got a decent chunk of Hossin to play with. The new interlink facility is there too, so go nuts and give us any of your bugs and feedback.
So be sure to patch up public test and check out the latest continent, Hossin!

Re: Hossin Available NOW on Public Test It's a bitch to navigate, that's for sure. Bring your Infiltrators and Light Assaults and don't even bother spawning any vehicle besides AMS. |

Re: Hossin Available NOW on Public Test A change of scenery sure is nice, but we'll have to see how it plays. Is it quite a bit smaller than the other worlds, or is it just because we can only play about half of it? |

Re: Hossin Available NOW on Public Test
If we were to measure it with Indar for instance, I'm sure it would come close to its size, maybe not exactly but close. |

Re: Hossin Available NOW on Public Test only spent 3h in there so my opinion is still a WIP: It's a pain to move around in vehicles as wel as it is for aircraft to do A2G, apart from bases. It has a few nice base designs. One thing I think will be fun there is galaxy dropping. With travel time as it is, and A2G limited: I bet galaxies will be hot transport on hossin. Oh yea, and instant death water! Devs = please add underwater ala Tribes2: where you could fly your shrike underwater to come up the other side of a lake or navigate underwater channels at high speed. |

Re: Hossin Available NOW on Public Test I was able to ask Matt some questions about Hossin that are somewhat irrelevant now since everyone can see it  But I asked him if they applied everything they learned from the Indar redesign and the Esamir redesign and he said they went back and retooled it numerous times before releasing what you are seeing now. Additionally it looks like they are going to do a "phased release" of the continent to get feedback along the way before full release. I was able to observer cam around it a bit the day it released and I must say it was extremely impressive. It's not vehicle friendly overall, but vehicles will still have a role. I cannot wait to play Infiltrator on this map. |

Re: Hossin Available NOW on Public Test Sadly not, it was hard to collect information during the panels as they were all over the place. I may do a bit of a brain dump later today. Also - here's the screenshots! http://www.planetside-universe.com/media.php?album=132 |

Re: Hossin Available NOW on Public Test Think I'll be steering clear of Ixtab from now on, thank you very much. Anyone want to join me at Acan? Heard they're having a happy hour later on. Not sure about Chac though... Well, maybe after a few at Acan's. |
