Harasser


Other changes include:

UI updates:

On the UI front, we've got a couple enhancements that players have been asking for, some of the big ones include:

• The ability to separate the customized colors for players and facilities. Now, player and vehicle indicators on the map and hud can be colored with one setting and capture nodes, terminals, territory control and facilities with another.

• Capture progress bars on the map now animate to denote the direction the capture progress is heading, so you can more quickly understand if it's being captured or resecured.
• Capture progress bars on the HUD now show a time remaining, to be consistent with those on the map.
• Ability to preview items which are in a bundle
• Ribbons and stats now show correctly for vehicle weapons

Bug Fixes:

As always we've fixed a ton of bugs, some of the highlights include:

• Hitting WARP on a continent on the Warpgate map should now put you in the queue more reliably when the continents are heavily loaded
• Vanguard shield should no longer incorrectly drop when taking small amounts of damage from certain weapons
• Fixed an issue where two helmets appeared to be equipped simultaneously
• Many, many more!

Sony Online Entertainment Have Released A New Behind The Scenes Look At Music In PlanetSide 2

Sony Online Entertainment have released a new behind the scenes look at PlanetSide 2. this video focuses on the music in the game. this video features members of the music team talking about what they wanted each faction to sound like and also revealing they had a technical issue in the music print outs that had to be corrected on the fly by the conductor.

The music is conducted by Jeff Broadbent, in describing the music for each faction he said:

"For the Terran Republic, noble brass, soaring strings, massive percussion, and choir highlights propelled the action. Recorded by the Northwest Sinfonia, their score is a massive, mighty tribute to the military power of this faction. The blues-rock of the New Conglomerate infused a grass-roots vibe to this rebellious faction, while the blending of modern percussion gave a technological edge to their sound. The pulsing synths, evolving electronics, spiritual wind instruments and vocals of the Vanu Sovereignty conceived a sound that is both progressive and timeless, a symbol of their vision for the future and reliance upon ancient technology."
