u/Strategyofthemind - thank you for keeping this thread going. The team is continuing to monitor this and triage new issues for hotfixing.
hmm any chance EU can log in today? I am still stuck on the login screen after 20 minutes.
Just to confirm, this is happening for you on PC?
By login screen, you mean server selection?

Checking now.
jgolenbo just posted about a client/server update that we plan to publish tomorrow morning: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/ps2/index.php?threads/march-13-2020-escalation-hotfix-pc.253610/
Here are the details if you don't want to click the link:
We are preparing a new PC hotfix for tomorrow (Friday, March 13) which includes a priority fix for Meltdown Alerts (reverting certs/ISO-4 rewards) along with additional fixes and changes.
This will require a server bounce (brief downtime) starting at 6:00 AM PDT / 1:00 PM GMT. Servers should be down no longer than 1 hour.
Patch Notes:
- VS Flash can equip cosmetics once again.
- Outfit resource accrual now updates correctly an owned facility is lost.
- Meltdown alerts once again grant 250 certs and 300 ISO-4 for a victory, and will grant 150 certs and 150 ISO-4 for a loss.
- UPDATE: VS will receive no A7 for a loss or runner-up in a Meltdown alert. We're currently looking into this issue. (Fight hard, VS!)
- Mini-map no longer resets its d...
UPDATE @ 5:30PM (Pacific) - We published the following fixes via a client-only hotfix within the past hour.
- Send Message now functions as intended and no longer brings up the Notifications window.
- Sanctuary now has the proper art on the World Map screen.
- Fixed broken text strings for the LA7 Buzzard.
We have a publish that will require a server bounce tentatively targeted for early tomorrow (Friday) morning. More details will be posted shortly.
--------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE @ 1:35PM (Pacific) - A client-only hotfix was published a short time ago to address two relatively low frequency client crashes. Again, no server downtime required. We are preparing a larger client-only hotfix with about a dozen fixes that we hope to publish later today. More details on that once we can confirm a publish time.

Hey everyone,
The team has been continuing to monitor feedback (gamepl...
Read morePlease keep the bug feedback coming - we are actively monitoring and triaging to hotfix ASAP.
I just straight up laughed out loud when I saw this. That’s hilarious.
That was AWSOME! Just shared on twitter - https://twitter.com/AndySites/status/1237810668633382912
The publish was scheduled to start at 9am Pacific. So yes, we are on-track.
You hear people say, "I eat, breathe and sleep
I can say with 100% certainty, that Wrel actually eats, breathes and sleeps Planetside. The amount of thought and effort he puts into every single thing he does for Planetside 2 each day (nights and weekends included) is well above and beyond expectations that any reasonable person would have.
UPDATE @ 3:45PM (Pacific) - All North American and Asia servers are unlocked. The EU server maintenance is still in progress, but we believe it should be wrapping up soon and we will unlock immediately.
—————————————
UPDATE @ 1:25PM (Pacific) - We encountered the same issues with our CDN (Content Delivery Network) provider that caused us to postpone our PTS playtest last week. As a result, the Escalation update cannot be downloaded. We've submitted tickets to their ops team to resolve ASAP. For now, we are waiting for an ETA from them for the issue to be resolved. Will update once we have more details.

UPDATE @ 11:15AM (Pacific) - As you might know, Daybreak TechOps team is performing a multi-game (PS2, EQ and H1Z1) server hardware move in our EU data center to a new data center about 10 mins away. They expected a 12 hour downtime, but it has been extended due to technical issues. They are now expecting to be c...
Read moreWill you be able to choose these new languages from the EU client aswell? I have a chinese friend who lives in germany and who would love to play the game in chinese
You will be able to select any language from any client.
That's bizarre. This is new to us - thank you for the heads up.
Not Russian or Chinese speaking, but how do you handle moving forward as more things are added and more content needs to be translated?
This is specifically the text translations that are in progress right now (HUD, weapons, descriptions, etc). This does not include voice-packs, etc.
It's been a few weeks since we announced our decision to proceed with full Russian and Chinese translations for PS2, so I wanted to give a quick update on the process.
As of this morning, the company we contracted to do the initial translations should have everything back to us by the end of the month (March). Once we've received the drop, there is still a few weeks for integration and bug fixing. At this rate, barring any surprises, we should be on-track for a mid/late-April release of the new translations. However, I'll post an update later this month, once we've had a chance to integrate and get a better estimate on the work needed.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Andy
The Daybreak TechOps team just notified us that they are investigating a login issue that impacting all games right now. The same thing happened Saturday night and they are trying to determine the root cause, so it doesn't keep happening again.
I feel like there might have been a few people hoping that with enough Orbital Strikes, that biolab would actually be destroyed.

The only problem with the that is if you target near a biulding or high terrain, the angled shot can be accidentally blocked by daid building walls or cliff before it juts the targeted spot.
It did look pretty sick tho
You're absolutely right about the angle and obstructions. We literally debated this on Wednesday and agreed that even though it was broken, it looked great and totally intentional. But it would break shit.
