In part 2 he talks about Outfit Uniforms, you can check out part 2 by clicking here . Special thanks to Mod on the forums for tracking this down!

Gamerlive.tv has up an interview with Matt Higby from GDC 2012. In it Matt talks about outfit customizations and he gives an example of setting up your outfit specifically to focus on Heavy Armor. He also talks about customizing Reavers so that you know they are from a specific outfit.

RNFB Re: Gamerlive's Exclusive Hands On with PlanetSide 2 @ GDC So wait, Outfits are going to give bonuses to combat stats?



That's stupid. I shouldn't be penalized for being a lone wolf.

The Lancer was the best AV at medium to long range, hands down, bar none. Accurate, with super fast projectile speed. A Phoenix, while doing more damage per shot, did pitiful DPS using guided mode compared to a Lancer, and using unguided mode was a crapshoot to hit a moving target.



The Striker basically TOLD the tank "Hey dude? You're going to get shot at, move behind a little cover to break the lock so you won't get hit". Gives them a big heads up to start heading to cover, even before they got hit. A Lancers only warning is "Hey, I just bitchslapped ya, and here's a few more"



That abomination "lockon yarnball flinger" would be a massive step down for VS. Lancer was my waifu, and don't you insult my baby.

I SandRock Re: Gamerlive's Exclusive Hands On with PlanetSide 2 @ GDC Matt is pretty good public speaker. He hardly has any nerd factor at all (except for the hair)! And he doesn't look bad either no-homo

Seriously though, I love Higby as sort of our official PS2 rep. He definitely has the ability to at least get me very excited for PS2. Even though the majority of what he's saying is not always "news" per se.





He's a good public speaker and he knows a lot of both PS and PS2, which obviously is a good thing! Aaaaaand, sometimes it feels like he enjoys watching SC2 more than I do. (Big + right there!)

Stardouser Re: Gamerlive's Exclusive Hands On with PlanetSide 2 @ GDC RNFB Originally Posted by I realize this, but an outfit isn't necessary for this for people like myself. I don't need some dude yelling at me over Vent to shoot the other guys and take the objective and support my allies.

You're not being punished, you simply do not receive the bonus as a result of not engaging in the activity which grants the bonus.

Captain B Re: Gamerlive's Exclusive Hands On with PlanetSide 2 @ GDC Join an outfit and do whatever you want like most guilds/outfits on MMOs do, and just enjoy the bonuses. But this IS an MMO. Sadly, most people don't remember early MMOs where you had to work together with other people or you just died and got looted back-to-back, every damn day until you quit. MMOs now are just big lobbies where you can happen to bump into other players for grouping to get your phat lewts easier, and the result is this "I should lone wolf just as well as an outfit groups" mentality in a massively multiplayer game design.



Rant aside, this looks extremely fun, though I'm still concerned about drivers also being gunners in tanks.
