Social Media Networks in Planetside 2

[Tigersmith]

Since it seems like every game now a day you can link your facebook/twitter to your game account. Do you think planetside 2 should have this feature?

Rift did a amazing job with it i might say. Twitter in game is fantastic and the ability to upload youtube videos straight from in game is great!

But question is would you like to see it in this game.

Not really. Because I delete friends who spam my news feed with bullshit.

[Chaff]

If I ever "tweet" while gunning in a Prowler - I should be FOREVER banned from PS - or any online TEAM-oriented game.

PS I HATE social media.

I'm far too bored with my own life to take time away from it to be BORED with someone elses shopping isle dilema - or trivial babblings.....

I've never found a reason to make use of social media built into games, like Starcraft. Yes Blizzard, if my friends play Starcraft chances are they are already on my friendlist.

i dont want to see any goddamn social media in PS. fuck that shit.

It may come down to not what you like. If its easy for them to implement I don't blame them for putting it in. Free Advertising on twitter ftw

No other game that I know of has built in Twitter, and what's the point? You can Tweet out of game.

Rift does. It takes a screenshot and tweets every time you get a achievement.

Oh boy, just what I need. Bandwidth wasted on the two worst ideas in gaming history.

"You just OSed a enemy AMS, do you want to share this on Facebook?"


Errm, no.

[Bags]

Yeah, I told all my friends already who would be at all interested in PS2.

ZERO bandwith should be allocated to this drivel.

SOE can offload player tweets from the game - and twit them from their own game-whoring non-PS2 server. I get the free adverstising angle. SOE can create a way to eliminate or curtail in-game twitters. No bandwidth loss & NO DISTRACTED DRIVERS.

....I don't want to be headed for a GAL-Drop riding behind a pilot TWITing pictures of clouds and enemy Mossy's while in flight.

I hear the DEV's appreciate the comments from the veteran players - based on the different threads and the layers of feedback and concerns - they should be wary of the PS1 vets. I am in awe of how much intense passion people here have for this game.

[Chaff]

I hope PS2 still feels like PlanetSide - yet attracts and maintains a bigger group of long-time players.....while adding new & better content that draws heavily from the original.

Improve it. Don't ruin it.
