I'm currently in the progress of updating the Template:WeaponInfoBox to reduce the amount of prior knowledge required to understand some of the values. I'm specifically targeting the rows like Hip Accuracy which has a value like 1/1/1.5/5/0.28 which is meaningless if you don't already know what the values refer to.
As a result, anything using WeaponInfoBox is likely to behave a bit strangely until I've had time to visit all the pages and make updates, and this could take 24 - 48 hours to complete. So far, I have split out the ammunition value to Magazine Size and Ammo Pool rows which are grouped under an Ammunition heading. I've also given the option of having a singular Reload Speed (for vehicle turrets and anything that has a 1 shot magaz…

Hey all,
In addition to compiling all of your great suggestions, we're also in the process of working on a robust rewards system for Wikia contributors. Some of the ideas we've been playing around with include things like Station Cash, in-game titles, special in-game items, etc. What other rewards would you like to see? Please be sure to let us know in the comments!
Best,

Hey all -
We're putting the final touches on what should be our biggest Game Update yet! We're really excited about some of the things being released in GU08 and think you will be too. So, I wanted give you guys a quick preview of what is coming with the update.
The biggest thing you're going to see right away in GU08 is the addition of the Harasser buggy!
The Harasser is a lightly-armored highly mobile 3-man assault buggy. Designed primarily for hit-and-run attacks and rapid strike team insertion, the Harasser fills a really fun role in the game. It has a dedicated driver, a gunner who has access to a top mounted 360 degree turret and a rumble seat which can hold any infantry class, including a MAX. Some cool tactics are opened up with the …

I've trialled using a gallery instead of a list for the Vehicle Camos page. This is primarily because there was a lot of duplicated information (the prices) and because it has become unwieldy to add new camouflage patterns into the middle of the list (and still maintain the proper alternating row colouring).
Have a look and let me know how it compares to the previous list version (see an example on the Camos page).

Attention, soldiers!
Wikis are of course a collaborative tool. Not any one person makes it awesome - it takes everyone to do that. And each of these contributors does so on their own time when they feel they can. It is my belief that everyone on here has done a fantastic job so far! Thank you for all your dedication and hard work!
It's been several months now since PlanetSide 2 went live. The other admins, contributors, and I have been adding to this wiki when we can, but now we want to hear from you! Are there pages that we're missing, tutorials that are incomplete, more stuff that you'd like to see? Please let us know in the replies here!
Cheers!

We’ve been hard at work on Game Update 06! Even with all the madness, we always make time for you, our community!
On Episode 25 of Friday Night Ops , I got to ask Chad Lichty your Twitter questions. Chad is a Lead Animator at Sony Online Entertainment on PlanetSide 2. Chad loves wearing spandex with reflective balls, shooting rounds at the range and plundering Auraxis with his Sunderer. Most of the time, he’s wrangling animators, writing animation tools and squashing bugs! If you didn’t get a chance to check out his interview, you should! This guy got to work on Beowulf (2007 film) as well!! Lots of great tips for aspiring animators and an inside scoop on what goes down internally.

General Updates
Service Ribbons
- Service Ribbons are quick-to-earn achievements that are repeatable and grant a reward for completing them.
- Service Ribbons are earned by killing enemies with infantry weapons and by supporting your allies. We will be adding more ribbon types (ex: teamwork, base capture, and vehicle ribbons) in future updates.
- Players earn an experience bonus (on top of the normal ribbon experience reward) for the first few ribbons earned each day
- Weapon Ribbons = 10 kills
- Revive Ribbon = 15 revives

- Repairing Ribbon = Repair 15,000 points

I've started in the Station Cash Depot area. Following feed back you can browse through from Category:Browse through Station Cash Depot down to Vehicle Items or Infantry Armor. It seems that my initial theory that categories should be treated as a bread crumb trail was incorrect, so I've updated the pages that I started with to the other option (where you don't see the super-categories without navigating into the category itself).
I've been treating categories as bread crumbs since I started working on this wiki about a month ago, so there were quite a few pages to correct, but I think I have got them all now.
I was considering splitting the Camouflage pages into separate Weapon, Armor and Vehicle versions - partially to cut down on the page…

Things have been pretty busy the last few weeks, but I wanted to make sure I stopped in and updated you on some of the Sneak Peeks you may have missed!
I had the pleasure of interviewing Alex Hoffman, Associate Programmer, and John Roy, Associate Art Director here at Sony Online Entertainment. You can tell both of these fellows love what they do and were happy to answer the communities questions!
Was one of your questions answered? Did you watch the interviews on Friday Night Ops ? Do like these interviews? Let me know in the comments below! I love hearing your feedback and can’t wait to read your comments!

I'm thinking about trying to make the category use on the wiki consistent, but not 100% sure about what what the ideal layout should be. I'm also not really across how categories on wikis work, or the best practice; I'm making the assumption that they are best treated as bread crumb trails that get more and more specific as you move to the right.
I also realise that this could end up being quite an invasive change so I want to run it past people before starting.
My current thoughs are for something along the lines of:
Category:Browse > Category:Content > Infantry > Weapons > Assault Rifles > for GR-22 and its ilk.
Category:Browse > Category:Content > Vehicles > Cosmetic > Camouflage > for Desert Scrub v1 Vehicle Camo

A few players have been experimenting with the incomplete Physics system since it was partially implemented a few weeks ago. Now that testing is complete, we are happy to announce this system is now Live! If you are using an Nvidia card, your Graphics Settings menu in game will now have an option to these on.
What can you expect? Better explosions, smoke, flame, and general visuals that you haven't seen before!
If you haven't updated your drivers, this would be an excellent time! Nvidia Link

Entry Date: March 8, 2846

You know, I can't actually remember why I wrote that first entry. It seems like such an eternity ago. I think my shrink told me to do it as a therapy exercise or someshit, and I did it to humor him. The vodka must've made me forget entirely, I don't really know.
But now I write here in celebration. Overdue celebration, of course, but I found this journal after finally getting around to digging through my smuggled belongings. Quite a find you are, journal! Ah, and you still smell like vodka from the night I first laid hands upon you.
Celebration, of course, comes from the fact that I was just promoted. But more specifically, I was p…

It’s that time of the week again. This time, I bring you the answers to your questions for the Quality Assurance team. Don't I look great in that thumbnail? =P
Don’t forget to check out last week’s Friday Night Ops ! It was very eventful. Adam “Arclegger” Clegg stepped in for Jimmy “Rage[AD]” Whisenhunt while Jimmy was off fragging noobs in the final Lethal Gamers 1.6 tourney. David “Malorn” Bennett joined us to give us a tour of the new Virtual Reality Training area and we got an inside look at what it’s like to be part of the Honeybadgers.
As always, I love your feedback! So...Feel free to leave me comments in the comment section below.

Salutation Auraxians!
I'm stopping in to show off our new Virtual Reality [VR] Trianing Zone! This is currently not available to players, but will be in an upcoming patch. Making its debut on last week's PlanetSide 2 Friday Night Ops with Game Developer, David "Malorn" Bennett , it's been a hit with the community.
I promised I'd get a few screen shots for the community and I plan to deliver. Do note that things are subject to change. Also, there are a few things that were not working such as the cool sky grid that will help give the area that virtual reality feeling.
Without further ado, here we go! In order to get into the VR zone, you'll have to go to the warp terminals in your Warpgate. In the bottom left hand corner you'll see the VR T…

This week's Sneak Peeks was all about Customer Service! Our Customer Service Team is manned twenty-four seven for all your needs. That means these guys and gals work days and nights in order to make sure you have the best experience possible.

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Character Lead Mat Broome who primarily works on the aesthetic portion of all the characters in game including armor and armor attachments. Mat is an extremely passionate artist. Just from the small bit of time I got to speak with him during this interview, I can tell that he truly loves his job. In his off time, you can find him working on his comic book side projects and playing games!
I'm blessed to work with some amazingly talented people who both love their jobs and are willing to share their beautiful minds with the world. I hope that you enjoy the video! Be sure to toss me a comment if you have any questions, concerns or you just want to let me know you like…

The PlanetSide 2 client was hotfixed today to make some great new changes. Check out the following:
- Are you an Alpha Squad member? Your boost was just reset to keep you locked and loaded for another 6 months of experience bonus.

PlanetSide 2 is a re-imagining of PlanetSide, featuring the same world, factions and taking place at roughly the same time period. As in the previous game, it features territory control in an open-world, large battles featuring up to 2000 players per continent on foot or in land/air vehicles. The territory system differs greatly from that of the original, being more free-form and based on a hexagonal territory control system. SOE has been taking into account balance issues from the first game. As stated by Matthew Higby, the creative director they be reward combatants on lower population empires through mechanics such as proportionally increased advancement rates and resources to aid the balance of overall empire saturation on each server …

I always found myself wondering what my fellow outfit mates were spending their cert points in.

Do you guys get more kills in vehicles or as infantry?

It's been three weeks since PlanetSide 2 was released, and the critics are loving it, with favorable reviews from game sites and magazines alike. The following is a collection of critical reviews of the game.
Overall, the critics were very positive about the game. The game scored a Metacritic score of 85 ("Generally favorable reviews") and a GameRankings score of 85.00%.

PlanetSide 2 is not just a regular shooter, it's an MMOFPS. Unlike regular first-person shooter games, where it's all about going in guns blazing, the player in PlanetSide 2 is instead dropped into combat situations where teamwork is critical to success. If the various players and squads on the server do not work together to capture key locations, such as the Tech Plant, your empire will surely lose. Naturally this doesn't mean you can't go in without a squad - just make sure you're not trying to capture an entire plant by yourself! Often, your allies will already be trying hard to capture back the plant that originally theirs, so you won't stand alone!

I'm thinking about making an Outfit on the EU server Mallory. I play New Conglomerate and have been thinking about the names of the positions and how the Outfit will be run etc.

I know thats not very infitting with the NC's disorganized rag-tag freedom fighter-esque portrayal, but hey... maybe thats what we need to dominate Auraxis?
