I live in the UK and I'm fine. Sucks to be Hawaii.

It's ~4700 miles from Hawaii to Virginia and only ~3600 from Virginia to UK, plus I feel like the Trans-Atlantic pipe is a lot better than the Trans-Pacific/intracontinental is, but that's just me guessing

It depends on whether or not they add new capabilities. Like, giving SMGs to infiltrators definitely added a new dimension to the game.

There are all valid reasons of why it sucks to be Hawaii.

On the upside, he is living in Hawaii. That's probably quite nice.

Absolutely everything is super close to where you live. Like, the mall being a 10 minute drive away.

Anything that gives players new stuff to work through, like a gun aurax, is content. It's not a lot, but it's something.

That was one of the best QOL updates to the game.

I'm sorry but I'm not in the camp of new guns being new content. That is really setting the bar very low. A new gameplay mechanic, or a new way to beat the enemy in a tangible way that awards a tangible benefit is really the only metric to judge new content. I already have a minimum of 7 ways to shoot mans on every class, I don't need an 8th, and an 8th is certainly not new content.

Got some sneaky peakies of some actual new content from PTS. Here's some pictures:

Scroll down and you'll see assets for ANT and bounty directive! Also there's a new cat directive?

A bunch of models of the deployable stuff for ANTs. Also a bunch of helmets. Faction specific ATV armor cosmetics too.

Here's the reddit page with all the info: https://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/3p35ei/pts_10172015_unofficial_patch_notes_roundup_pts/

lol there is a teleporter in the spawn room of SolTech Charging Station. This teleporter is actually a gravlift that lifts you onto the roof of the spawn point.

I want a spitfire turret that doesn't actually shoot. I just want it to make lots of noise. I want it to be so loud and goddamn annoying that people go out of their way to shoot it to silence it. And I will be waiting nearby with a chump-action.

Instead of shooting, just make it constantly spot enemies and shoot fireworks into the air.

I play on Miller, which seems, due to the highly multi-lingual playerbase (in no other game have i heard so many different accents of english in the same 24 hours than in PS2), to have a much lower usage of voice chat than american servers, so i never noticed.

Oh, fair enough. Had it been cross-faction, you'd quickly familiarize yourself with most of the common vulgarities in all the European languages out there. :v:
