📢May Update - 5/15 - Maintenance📢

by CM Mithril

New Warzone Rotation System The way warzones rotate after an alert has been reworked. Previously, Warzones simply rotated through the list of valid Warzones with the oldest being the next one selected. This meant that one Warzone always followed another and the course of the rotation was entirely predictable. We've added two new settings to the Warzone rotation system, the ability for Warzones to be skipped during the selection process and also a chance to be selected. This means we can adjust the frequency of Warzones while still generally following the pattern of oldest next. We've done 2 things with the new settings. First, the oldest Warzone is by far the most likely one to come next, it will not always happen that way. This means that the rotation is no longer static, but will shuffle itself slightly from time to time. And second, Oshur is now much, much less likely to be selected; and after it has been selected it will not be again for several rounds. This is the compromise we fo...

Development Update - March 2024

by CM Mithril

March 2024 Greetings Auraxians, For this March's development letter, we have some news, updates, and a special treat; the reveal of a new facility type! Public Test Server The Warzone rotation, Oshur Alert, and Friends List updates will be hitting the Public Test Server shortly after the next patch. The Friends List has been rewritten from scratch to solve a myriad of various bugs and issues. We are confident that this rewrite should solve the existing issues, however since it is a new system there could be other issues we have missed. The Warzone rotation system has been changed to be non-static. That is, the rotation order can shift slightly so that the oldest Warzone is not necessarily the next to be unlocked, although it usually will be. This also allowed us to set Oshur to an infrequent rotation schedule. There is a new meltdown alert on Oshur that should trigger almost immediately, setting a cap on how long the continent will remain open. More details, if needed, will be in the P...

This morning we released a client side hotfix update to address the major issues from our St. Patrick's day patch last week. Launching the game today will automatically download and update your client. Bug Fixes Fixed an unwrapped text issue with the UI that would occur when attempting to capture bases or being in an area that isn't connected to a region your faction controls. Flashlight not emitting light when the graphics settings are set to Medium is now fixed. Fixed an issue where the seats of the Bastion would seat players upside down and are unable to properly fly it. Vehicle turret aiming has been fixed. Spawning into an ESF that caused fast walk speeds has been fixed.

March 7, 2024 - St. Patrick's Day Update

by CM Mithril

This morning's patch is live, howerver we discovered a couple issues today, please see the note below. Note we are looking into a fix for these issues accordingly. Known Issues The Bastion can cause players to be seated incorrectly, including pilots, preventing them from firing or piloting properly. This does not always occur but it is frequent enough to warrant strong caution when launching one from a terminal. There are currently no workarounds, a hotfix is in the works. Players report encountering invisible vehicles Vehicle turrets are not working correctly NS-11A's audio with the suppressor is incorrect This month's patch is loaded with bug fixes, especially to animations and audio. We are also bringing back previous St. Patrick's Day Bundles from March 17th until March 26th St. Patrick's Day Bundles Return The returning items arrive (March 17th - March 26th): 2023 Saint Patrick's Day Bundle 2022 Saint Patrick's Day Bundle Gold Lover's Bundle Green Fortune Bundle Jackpot Bundle Lep...

Behind the Scenes: Making New Helmets - February 2024

by CM Mithril

Behind the Scenes: Making New Helmets Greetings Auraxians!  For this month’s dev letter, we wanted to share something a little different – a behind the scenes look at the process our artists go through when creating new items in PlanetSide 2. Our example piece for this behind-the-scenes look is the new Lunar Dragon Helmet available in the Lunar New Year Bundle . We hope you enjoy a peek behind the curtain!  Planning The process begins with a planning phase. During this time, ideas are presented to be made into an asset for an in-game event or update. Let's look at the Lunar New Year event as an example.  This year we decided to create a unique helmet for the event. After consulting with our Game Designers about any specific requirements, the process is taken over by the Art Department. Exploration The Lunar New Year is a celebration that marks the arrival of spring and the beginning of a fresh lunar cycle. Honored by many cultures across Asia, the way it's celebrated is unique to each ...

📢 Feb. 22, 2024 - PC Hotfix 📢

by CM Mithril

We have patched a small hotfix this morning. Please see the hotfix notes below. Bug Fixes Fixed a localization error in vehicle and aircraft key bindings. Fixed the icon resolution for the Love Bomber Bundle. Fixed the Positive Defacement Banner preview resolution. Fixed a tiling and stretching issue with the Positive Defacement Camo. The NSO Chimera now updates the "Matchmaker: Exploration" mission. This will affect any future missions, directives and objectives that make use of ground vehicles. Fixed an issue with the Deluxe Implant Pack in the Tier 4 Directive Reward which only gave 3 implants instead of 9. We are looking into compensating players who have been affected by this.
