Harrassin' on Hossin: PlanetSide 2 Gets New Continent
After lots of teases and loads of "behind the scenes" talk and video -- the above trailer came out last August -- PlanetSide 2 finally has a new continent.
The swamp continent of Hossin went live this morning, along with a bunch of new updates and changes to the game. Highlights include:
- * Continent locking: Empires can now lock a continent by possessing 94% of its territory or winning an alert. All players on the continent will be redirected to another one. A maximum of two continents can be locked at any one time, leaving the other two open.
* Continent benefits for locking have been considerably beefed up, up to 50% reductions in costs of Infantry, Mechanized, or Aerospace purchases (previously 10%) for the original three continents, and 25% XP gain for locking Hossin.
* Warpgates only rotate after a continent is unlocked, and are no longer on the two-week schedule.
* An outfit recruiting system has been implemented.
* When an outfit captures a base, by virtue of having the highest score by its members in the capture process, it will be reflected in the banners flown at the base as well as on the map.
