We're working on getting GU04 staged to release. Assuming all goes well next few hrs we're targeting 6AM PDT tomorrow for the update.

Hey all –

We’re currently set to release GU04 tomorrow morning at 6am PST.As always there is a chance that some issues could be found in the next few hours that would cause us to delay the update, but as of right now it’s looking like a “GO”.

GU04 is one of our biggest updates so far on Planetside 2 (seriously, the patch notes doc is 9 pages long!) and will have a huge number of new additions, game tuning and bug fixes including highlights like:



A brand new VR Training area, a place to try out every weapon, cert and vehicle in the game risk free
Flash Update which brings a new rumble seat, wraith module and the new S12 Renegade shotgun
New Respawn / Map interface
New drag-and-drop functionality on the platoon management window
Balancing of reserve ammo on infantry weapons
Tuning of AOE damage
Increased rewards for vehicle destruction
All new tower ground floor design
Warpgate rotations
Increases to passive cert gain for members as well as new member status panel
TONS o’ bug fixes


There are a couple notable features that are not on the list that I want to give an update on:



The Account Level Unlocks are extremely complex and important feature – the most popular feature we’ve had on the Roadmap thus far. Obviously it is a feature that is critical for us to get absolutely right. The potential for any changes to the how our player inventory system works to cause problems with your hard earned items means that we’re being exceptionally cautious with the rollout. Our plan right now is to release the Account Level Unlocks feature 1 week from GU04 release as long as we don’t run into any major hiccups in testing. We know you’ve been waiting for this feature and we’re sorry for the delay, but we hope that you understand the reasons for being cautious here.
We are still working on tuning and balancing for Empire Specific Rocket Launchers and don’t feel comfortable unlocking them quite yet, as soon as we feel like they’re ready to go we’ll be putting them up for you guys.


We’re really excited to get GU04 out to you guys and we’re confident the wait has been worth it!

All servers will come down for a Game Update on March 13th at 6:00 AM PT. Downtime is anticipated to be less than 2 hours. Players may note the following changes to gameplay:


General Updates

1-mo. member - 24 passive cert points/day
2-mo. member - 28.8 passive cert points/day
3-mo. member - 33.6 passive cert points/day
4-mo. member - 38.4 passive cert points/day
5-mo. member - 43.2 passive cert points/day
6-mo. + member - 48 passive cert points/day




Added a Virtual (http://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/#) Reality Training Center

This area is accessible through any warp terminal
This is a safe test area where you can try every weapon, vehicle, and upgrade available to your empire!
Each empire has its own Training area.
This area has target dummies for vehicles and infantry that have the same properties as in normal combat.
An indoor shooting range with random targets at 10 meter intervals for reflex practice and target recognition is available.
An outdoor shooting range with infantry and vehicle targets to train with all manner of weaponry is also available.
There is an open area to practice driving or flying with vehicles.
A quad course is available, but jump ramps haven’t been installed yet, so be cautious and creative when navigating the course!
While in the training area players have a separate set of loadouts for vehicles and classes. Normal loadouts are used when the player returns to one of the continents.
A Redeploy hotkey has been added and can be used without having to view the map. Default binding is the Delete key. If you find yourself stranded in VR, use the hotkey to get back to the training facility. This functionality is available both in and out of VR Training.
For training purposes, reality has been altered in this area:
All weapons for infantry and vehicles available to the player’s empire can be used!
All vehicle upgrades, suit upgrades, abilities, and weapon attachments are available and at the maximum rank while in the zone, regardless of the player’s current certifications.
Vehicles and MAX suits do not cost resources.
Vehicles and MAX suits do not require or start acquisition timers.
Player stats are not recorded while in this area.
Experience and medals cannot be earned while in this area.
Players cannot hurt each other or their vehicles but can hurt themselves.
Shooting or destroying friendly target dummies does not grant grief points but will still show the grief indicator and play the grief sound.
Respawning has no time delay.
Weapon trials cannot be obtained while in this area (you already have access to every weapon!).
Note that consumables still cost resources and deplete the player’s inventory when used while in VR. This will be altered in a future update.
Rotated the Warp Gates on all three continents

Full shields and health infantry require at least two rounds to be killed from splash damage exclusively.
This does not affect direct damage.
A direct hit will still kill a full health infantry in one round.

Added strikethrough for owned items
Added “last logged in” to outfit management
Added drag and drop functionality to the Platoon Management window
The grenade counter on the HUD now displays which grenade you have equipped
Various UI optimizations

Respawn & Map screen revamp

Deployment locations are now displayed on the left side of the screen when the player is dead, along with simplified class selection panel. The list functions the same way it did on the respawn screen.
You can now switch continent views by clicking directly on the continent title bar at the top of the map screen.
Statistics, Resources, and Filters panels have been consolidated into a modal toggle bar in the upper-right of the map screen. In addition to reducing screen clutter, this cleans the map up to future expansion as features such as the mission system get implemented.
Instant action has been redesigned to be a single button press, with no on-map indication of where it will send the player, but it will still hot-drop them onto a facility with heavy combat. This is to prevent people from exploiting instant action as an organizational tool, which is what people were using it for previously. If you are in a squad and not the leader, a second button for squad deploy will appear.
Fixed a bug where locked certs were showing as purchasable, even though they could not be purchased
The tooltip displaying Bronze and Gold membership bonus percentages should now show the correct bonus amounts
