The Instant Action Podcast

On this week’s show I started by talking about the fun I had invading Connery with Bushido Way on Saturday night. I hope more outfits get involved with things like that in the future. Then it was on to the Planetside 2 news with the Sparks & Snow game update for the both the PC and PS4 sides of the game. New toys for NSOs! After that I covered Wrel’s Dev Letter which teased what is coming in 2020 and it’s outfit related so get hyped. I finished this week by talking about Vindicore’s Planetside Upgrade Project website with his ideas in response to the Dev Letter. Merry Christmas everyone!

Vindicore’s Planetside Upgrade Project

On this week’s show I started by talking about the, not completely surprising, death of Planetside Arena. Or was it Planetside: Battle Royale? After that it was back to Planetside 2 news with the December 11th Dev Live Stream that showed off some new NSO goodies and some new Sanctuary renders. Then it was back to back PTS Updates on the 12th and 13th as we gear up for the next Game Update on the 18th.

On this week’s show I started by covering the small maintenance Hotfix on the PC side of Planetside 2. Then it was on to talking about Members Double XP and a possible bug or feature regarding it. Then, the awesome news that Planetside 2 was named to RockPaperShotgun’s Top 50 Games of the Decade list and what that means. Finally, I hit the rumor mill and talked about the failed IPO that would have made Daybreak Games money hand over fist if it had been implemented properly. And, no, I’m not talking about Planetside Arena.

Rumor: Daybreak Games was Developing a Marvel MMORPG

On this week’s show I started by covering the small maintenance day on the 25th for PC and 26th for PS4 for Planetside 2 and then it was into the meat of the show, the return of the 31 Days of Auraximas. Before listing all the available items I took some time to give my thoughts on selling directive rewards and even offering the items when the state of the game is low in many player’s eyes. Then, it was on to the items and I was not disappointed by this year’s offerings so neither will you!

On this week’s show I talked about the 7th Anniversary (Birthday) of Planetside 2. I huge congrats to the Devs (both past and present) for getting us to 7 years! After that I talked about the Anniversary bundles, both the good and the bad, the Hotfix pushed out to correct the issues caused by the bundle Game Update and finished by talking about the Dev Live Stream that wasn’t. After that I read a listener e-mail that summed up everyone’s feelings about the Anniversary, lack of a Live Stream and confidence levels in the game perfectly.

Planetside 2 Dev Livestream Moved to December

On this week’s show the the only news coming out of Daybreak Games this week as they prepare for their upcoming Anniversary Dev Live Stream was the dropping of a new game mode in Planetside Arena. I’ll take some time to go over the new game mode and my first impressions after playing many matches over the weekend. 

Planetside Arena Weekend Event: Capture the Flag

On this week’s show it was a very quiet week with almost no information coming out of Daybreak Games. The good news is that I was able to scour the web and locate some PS4 Planetside 2 Hotfix information and news about an upcoming Dev Live Stream. After that I again answered the question: Is it worth playing Planetside 2 in 2019.

Is The Game Worth Playing in 2019?

On this week’s show I started by talking about this year’s successful Extra Life campaign where I raised over $250 from great listeners like you! I can’t thank everyone who donated enough, and if you missed it or forgot, don’t worry, you can still make a donation! After that it was back to Planetside news with a PC Hotfix for Planetside 2 and an Early Access Game Update for Planetside Arena. Then I covered the other Challenge from this past week by giving my thoughts on the stats but I stopped short of criticizing too much because of my affiliations with some of the people targeted in the video.

I finished this week by talking about a hypothetical Planetside 1 style Conquest Mode for Planetside Arena that Bryan Burness was working on that I really, really like the idea of. All that plus some new listener e-mails.
