The Planetside team has released the first of their performance updates just a few days short of Planetside 2’s 1st birthday. This is the result of months of work by the dev team, and I hope it pays off. The patch notes give an overview of what was changed, but if you have been following their video series (see below) then you should already have a pretty good idea about what is in the update.
The patch is primarily focused on improving performance, but that doesnt mean thats all it has. Other updates include changes to drop pods, balance tweaks, and Amerish has been moved forward 12 hours so it will be daytime there while the other continents are at night.
