My friend just emailed and said Sony announced it. I know it was popular with this crowd.
I found this article about it.

The original planetside had some potential but I always felt like it was more or less Tribes 1.5, with more bugs and some really wacky balance issues.

/cast sheild *sheild spell unavailable*
/csat shield *csat: unknown command*

i hope it plays like an actual fps and character development does stuff like give you new weapons/armor/items and does not affect your character's aim and such like it did in planetside back when i played it. it was dumb that they actually made your character aim worse at lower level
Is that really wrong? A BFG should hit with the same effect weather it is a rookie or a veteran firing it. Now the veteran should have a better chance of actually hitting the target compared to the rookie. The veteran will tend to aim and breath properly where the rookie will tend to spray their ammo with no attempt at aiming.

The veteran will tend to aim and breath properly where the rookie will tend to spray their ammo with no attempt at aiming.
the only problem is it takes away the "true" skill of the player.. them them point and click away with their accuracy and reflexes instead of imposing artificial dampeners or helpers. now if you aren't actually aiming like in a FPS then it makes sense, because then it's like hit rating in wow. you click attack and if you have the gear to give you enough hit% then you're not gonna miss. but if it's FPS style play, then let it be and FPS.
to the effect of a veteran will have better better aim through pracice/experience of playing the game. if breathing is an issue on say a sniper rifle then a skill/talent could be given that gives steadier aim/breathing while sniping type thing but in the end it should be how well you personally can aim and shoot and not be hindered by a "your level X so you will miss this target more than someone level Y purely because of level (with the exception that if they have a situation where it's like a boss/enemy that's just way too high a level for you..).

That about sums it up for me as well. Loved SWG pre-CU, then SOE decided they knew better than the players and now look where SWG is at.

The CU didn't destroy the sand box like the NGE did. It did affect god mode where everyone wore composite armor and used slow firing heavy hitting weapons because the correct talent tree selections allowed those slow firing weapons to fire at a much higher speed. I did go back a few times on veteran freebie time and just couldn't get into the "improved" NGE game.
Edit: My opinion of the CU/NGE is the CU came from Sony while the NGE came from Lucas Arts.

SOE doesn't ever seem to get it. Most gaming companies are gamers that love games making games for gamers. No clue what SOE is doing - but they're consistent at it.
