GU11 Patch Notes (http://planetside.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Luperza/Server_Downtime_for_Game_Update_11_June_20,_2013_6 AM_PT_(3PM_CEST))
General Game Updates
Continental Domination Thresholds


Domination requirement for securing continent benefits has been lowered from 100% to 75% of the territory on the continent.
The point where a domination benefit will be lost increased from 0% to 15% of owned territory.
These changes do not affect alerts.
The Map Statistic for Territory Control now has a visual representation of the thresholds where benefits will be gained and lost.
Our goal is to make continent domination and denial during prime time a tough but reasonably achievable goal and to reduce the situations where entire empires would hold out in a single facility.

Resource Cost Increases for Tanks and MAXes
The below are the new resource costs for each vehicle type and the MAX unit.


Flash: 100
Sunderer: 400
Lightning: 300
Magrider: 450
Vanguard: 450
Prowler: 450
Scythe: 250
Reaver: 250
Mosquito: 250
Liberator: 350
Galaxy: 350
Harasser: 300

esatto fantastico, sarebbe questo poi



New movement code has been introduced which will make remote player movement much smoother, reducing player warping and removing a lot of the ability to quickly change direction and glitch out the movement interpolation and avoid damage.

Beh mi sembra ottimo, straffare come se fosse quake non si addice a un gioco del genere... anzi è una delle principali cause del teamkilling, tutti straffano e non esiste il concetto di "line of fire" :mad2:
I character "solidi" sarebbe ancora meglio, al momento fare avanti e indietro "attraverso" un MAX è il modo migliore di segarlo, ma è abbastanza lamer.
Pensa se i max con Aegis potessero letteralmente bloccare l'ingresso di una gen room :)

Super patch, l'infantry è spettacolare, il medico è OMAIGAD OPNESS, muori e rosiki, ti ressano e ti si toglie il counter death (che ti importi o meno della stat in ogni caso da sollievo psicologicamente, EPIC)

A me gira tutto molto più lentamente ma probabilmente perché stasera c'era il pienone.
Una cosa che non mi è piaciuta è vedere gente che chiede un medico a 5 metri da un sunderer perché a respawnare gli si abbassa il k/d... e io li lascio per terra :closedeyes:
Il k/d di per sé non è necessariamente un male... ma le menti deboli sono vulnerabili al suo fascino perverso :asd:

Invalid String should no longer appear when creating a Platoon.
The Terran Republic Bahamut mask will now apply camo.
The roof on large spawn rooms should now appear correctly again.
The mysterious invisible walls at the bottom of the outpost tower teleporter room have been fixed. You will be able to pass through if you do not own the tower. Be warned however the pain field is still active in this small hallway.



il gioco per me dopo la gu11 è perfetto cmq, a parte 1 crash dopo X ore di gioco, 0 lag
