cool (pun intended)

Very nice. Was this on a separate server or PTS and the devs just warped them to Nexus?

ChipMHazard · 2013-09-13, 12:18 PM

It's on the PTS, but only those allowed can go there. Apparently.

MLG focus test probably. Nice broad demographic of the player base

Mr Vanu Labs put up a map preview earlier.

All, what? 96 of 'em?

Oh well, at least we get to play on part of Hossin. Interlinks are cool

To get to Nexus ?? Apparently there's this secret cupboard on PTS where once you enter, a big lion shows you the way..

Could someone please enlighten me, whats the point of these battle islands? is it necessary to lock down a continent or how does it work?

In order for the inter-continental lattice to operate properly it requires a minimum number of continents to make enough connections to forster strategic thinking.

We don't have enough continents even after Hossin and even after Searhus.

However the devs can create a BI in a fraction of the time it takes to create a whole new continent, so we get 3 BI's added to 4 full sized continents and we get a proper inter-continental conquest game.

NB the warpgates will be captureable and you will be able to travel from a WG on one continent to linked WG on another in a vehicle rather than using the terms that we do at present.
