New Implant System Guide, In-Depth look and Thoughts before it goes Live(PlanetSide 2)

[@strikeforce1500]

Assimilate/Regeneration: Good on PC. PS4 not since MnK users will be fucking Immortal. (Also I think counting vehicles is a bit too much) Minor cloak: NOPE NOPE NOOOOPE

[@nex3310]

Scared for stealth heavies

[@pierrereynaud784]

can't wait to use it with my shotgun heavy :D

[@nex3310]

Pierre Reynaud I cri

[@pierrereynaud784]

Nexlevel why? can you imagine a really coordinated platoon all with this implant waiting in the cap circle x3

[@fiksonshepard6101]

time to unistall this game, since it will take years to upgrade single implant, as a level 100 player. time to unistall this crap, or pay 500 euros to upgrade? them must be insaine! one year of grind just so i get enough iso-4 for one implant upgrade on one character? they lost it!

[@pierrereynaud784]

what if they implement the same system as before, where you get some during the battle ? are you really going to do a stupid thing like that ?

[@TheeOK1]

I'm fine with most of these implants, especially the ones that incentivises and rewards a player for head shot kills. However, I really don't like minor cloak, the spotting mines feature in sweeper, and vampirism. While vampirism is more of a personal distaste, minor cloak is going to probably bring in an unnecessary meta for protecting points; not to mention it would force players to go dark light, and EMPs, on loadouts that could benefit more from other items. As for sweeper implants mine feature, it takes away one of the main counters towards MAX suits, and just rewards careless playstyles overall. That being said hopefully these will change upon hitting live, for example, rather than be full cloak for the minor cloak implant it'd be partial (and perhaps not giving the "cleansing" perk you get when spotted as an infiltrator.) This would incentivise attention to the map and your surroundings, while giving players the choice of using darklight since they can see an enemy if they pay attention.

[@efraim3364]

Minor cloak? EMP nades and Flashlights will rule. Also, cloaking is a class specific skill for infils and does NOT need to be handed to all other classes

[@Matiasss200]

Can somebody please help me. I am BR 92 and i have a lot of implants (only tier 1 & 2) and charges. I see that you need ISO for the new implants. I read that i will get ISO from all of my chargers. But what about my tier 1 and 2 implants ? How can i make the best use of them ? How much ISO / certs will i need if i want to make tier 5 implant in the new patch ?

[@saltyleprechaun8178]

PROfromCRO your implants will give you iso-4

[@Zadok13]

Seems to me that AT mines are about to become near enough worthless.

[@machielste1]

Allmost all of these seem broken AF , faster sprint speed and fullspeed crouch ? so a heavy can now sprint ADAD like a fuckin racecar and then crouch papa biceps spray you , epic.

[@damo3923]

Those are the least broken of all of them.

[@xscreamerx17]

BH 5 coupled with a regen implant will 1. make farming even easier. And 2. will create a further gap between experienced and lvld vets and new players. Not sure what to think really.

[@DRAXGAMING]

Good point Baron, I guess you noticed that load-out on my heavy at the end. Also welcome to the video Wisdom xD

[@ir0nknight721]

been playing Planetside since 2003 and non of these would make the game better. this will kill the game.

[@seanmacnamara4049]

You realize us NC are going to all pull jackhammer heavies and cloak on a point with minor cloak it's gonna be chaos

[@fetB]

every player does. Pronlem, the devs dont play the game apparently

[@bellosbude]

it will slow down the game that hard. noone will move. everyone wants to stay cloaked. i see a room full of TR, NC and VS, all heavy and noone is seeing the other factions X-D

[@fetB]

imo, catliek is bullshit too. The movement meta is already kinda crazy. Flipping bewteen crouch and stance will make the whole thing even worse I also agree with falldamage, which i run now almost every class (tier 2), but no damage at all, is crazy PS: when is the ammo printer triggered? Only after you run out, or basically active all the time. If teh latter, teh 60sec is not much of a penalty

[@DRAXGAMING]

Active all the time

[@KC-xd9xs]

Awesome video helped me understand the implants much better!

[@krepost3319]

thanks for video. Hope that cloaking shit gonna be erased from live version.

[@blackstab6760]

Can you combine catlike with adrenaline pump to get 20% speed?

[@pawStrap]

definitlely and im late but the sprint part is its own perk now called athlete.

[@c0baltl1ghtn1ng]

I personally like the Safe Fall implant, but I do agree to most extent on the Minor Cloak. I feel Minor Cloak's saving grace would be to have it at maybe 5 seconds, *HOWEVER* you are in like Wrait Flash cloak stage. That is, to say, still pretty visible up close, but obviously not so much when you're a good distance away.

[@imnotgivingmyname2389]

I don't really see much of a problem with minor cloak. 8 seconds is a very long time to have to wait for the cloak to activate. Most players, if they wanted to troll a point, would just go stalker. And the idea of "Whole platoons" doing this is just wrong. They may try it for fun, but it would be worthless. You'd get the jump on the enemy once or twice, but after that one guy just has to chuck in an EMP nade before breaching and your whole platoon is dead.

[@bellosbude]

What does this Vampire implant want to be? Are we playin a Vampire gainst werewolfes game? This is so weird to the last little breadcroms of Story. Its stupid like sayin i cant see you, so you cant see me while a bankrobbery. i could understand, when they would say, it steals shield energy. But healt? realy?? and where does it steal the health from tanks? does it use the oiled parts and i have to crouch trough the debris?

[@lelunbalanced7621]

Catlike and Minor Cloak are borken af. And where are Sensor Shield and Emp Shield?? Without Sensor Shield motion spotters will ruin again small fights and EMP will be OP again.... massive infil buff....

[@christopherwalls92]

gonna say it again love all the other implants but the stealth one just made the infel pointless so bye bye infil... I mean seriously only thing infil has now is hack and maybe and its a big maybe distance and thats only if you play hunter!! So now heavies well every class can carry smg shotguns lmg any weapon and cloak!!! Guess what infil cant so it is screwing any infil player tbh.. So yea i agree it should be taken out of rotation for sure or it was a waste for any infil to have grinded!!! Next comes light assault flying maxes!!!

[@fiksonshepard6101]

Good time to uninstall this! why. becouse i wont be lvl 100 noob, or pay 500 euro to upgrade implants. time to stop this sht! one year of grind to upgrade one implant on one character, this is ower all reason! Fcked up sht!

[@ProtoPerson]

It may be annoying, but it's absurdly hard to get in the middle of a big group if just one person is using a black light flashlight. That thing is the bane of my existence man XD

[@seanmacnamara4049]

I saw the title thinking 5hey actually implemented it overnight and you were just getting really early coverage

[@RTFL_]

Very interesting and informative video on the new stuff, thanks so much for making this video :)

[@osterhagen9847]

quick question, by saying tier4 nets u the most ISO4, did u factor in that it takes 5 tier3 to build 1 tier4 ? just wondering since i saved up alot of implants and want to get most ISO4 out of them as possible, thx in advance.

[@derpclown7048]

Yea I'd like to know that as well - I got TONS of lvl1/2/3 implants, is there any point in combining them to get the most out of it or will it not matter at all?

[@DRAXGAMING]

They haven't specified an amount yet but I base this on Minor Cloak being classed as a top Tier Implant when you break it down on test you get several times the amount of ISO-4 ( I can't give a number right now but it makes more sense than the current system). Current conversion for making chargers by using implants is unbalanced and favors using lots of smaller implants which they are aware of and should be different with ISO-4 system. I myself am saving up Tier 4s in faith they get the new system right.

[@DRAXGAMING]

I will update with some numbers soon.

[@DRAXGAMING]

Ok I have the numbers on the Tier 1,2 and 5 implants but 3 and 4 are unknown. Tier 1 - 10 ISO 4 Tier 2 - 30 ISO 4 TIER 5 - 1500 ISO 4 (minor Cloak and Counter intel)

[@derpclown7048]

Thanks, it appears that there's no point in combining them before the update just to make higher ones (5 tier 1 imps to create one tier 2). What about chargers?

[@YoLo-ky8ig]

hey man ur getting a lot better with ur talking, keep up the great work!

[@xxmemewizardxxps2902]

Minor cloak better not even be a thing thats ridiculous

[@matej670]

so whatswith enhance targeting implant? i wonna see enemys vehicle health, will it be on defaultor what?

[@DRAXGAMING]

My guess is they will couple it with counter intelligence or sweeper hud. I'll let you know when I find out more.

[@2pumpedupforu]

Full squad of minor clak on cap with shotguns waiting? 1TR should to that on an ops night.

[@DRAXGAMING]

If I comes to Live..... we probably will.

[@wonkyness1010]

They look pretty good except catlike is op (unless limited to stalkers) and minor cloak.

[@DRAXGAMING]

A balance update should come this week sometime.

[@TheForgottenWolf]

"Not too overpowered"... Seriously? It makes ammo for tanks. It basically just killed the need for ammo sundies.

[@DRAXGAMING]

Same principle as engineers. Once every 60 secs is a long time in a fight, I can go through more than 16 rounds in 60 secs. This is also 16 rounds in a prowler and may be around 8 in the other 2.

[@TheForgottenWolf]

Looks like for the Magrider and Vanguard its only 6 rounds per minute. Nevermind on that.

[@MrVellj001]

mine detection, stealth are too much will break the game. Infiltrators will be rendered useless and maxes will be more good like.

[@bobnotrealnameman307]

MrVellj001 no ofc infiltrators won't be useless, unless everyone and their mother starts running darklight. only cloaking stationary doesn't touch the infiltrators ability. it will just replace stalker infils I think

[@bobnotrealnameman307]

MrVellj001 and good drivers almost never die to mines you just have to look out for them so that's not too broken.

[@yoctometric]

I dont think complete fall damage invulnerability is op

[@yoctometric]

wait what i do

[@catauzy]

how about stealth max units lel

[@TheVideogamer1004]

Wait is the new implant system live on live servers now and not just test servers?

[@DRAXGAMING]

added before it goes Live to the title to avoid confusion, thanks

[@TheVideogamer1004]

DRAX GAMING So not yet is what you're saying.

[@RedArmyLLC]

uninstalling...

[@ChaosRevealsOrder]

is this the 1st april joke ?

[@DRAXGAMING]

This video is from the 18th February when the implants were on the Test Server on PC. The Test server is where all game changes go before they make it to the live server. The implants are now on the Live server and have had several changes since this video.

[@patrikkretzler1770]

Minor cloak!!!!!Realy now i stop playing PS2:(

[@DRAXGAMING]

It isn't on the Live server yet

[@patrikkretzler1770]

Oh^^

[@fetB]

ye, but if history is any indication, they dont care what peoples opinion is. the fact that its even on PT, is plain ridiculous

[@justsomeguy8385]

C'mon anyone who is scared of a 8 second startup cloak doesn't play PS2 anyway.

[@BelieveVs]

can you still equip two implants

[@DRAXGAMING]

Yeah I forgot to say in the vid but I added it into the description at the top.

[@BelieveVs]

DRAX GAMING thanks

[@BelieveVs]

nice video good job

[@DRAXGAMING]

Thanks man, was working on earlier this week but got sick so was delayed till now.

[@DrBLOOD1995]

Damn they are making InfantrySide 2 worst and worst.
