World Domination Series on Planetside 2. Fight during pub

7:54 in on the Planetside2 Friday Night Ops from 8/30/2013, Dev Arclegger explains what the world series is.



It's exactly the Ultimate Empire Showdown except instead of just 1 day where only X amount of people are able to get involved for X duration of the event, They want to spread it out across 5 weeks so that everyone is able to participate.

This time around they will have people from Machinima on Youtube filming and recording events on all servers that will be highlighted every Friday Night Ops, sort of like the War Correspondent that Robert Stoneman did if anyone remembers that. Each Machinima representative, one for each server, will also have a team of Machinima artists under them also filming, presumably to cut-down on the risk of people attempting to crowd the observer for 15 seconds of fame and photo-bomb.

Arclegger also explains that we will have access to a in-game UI to monitor the progress of the World Series Empire Showdown, presumably coming in with GU15 this week, that you can bring up similar to the Scoreboard or Alert progress status that comes up when you hit your TAB key.

This time around the Empire "Leaders" won't be some outside Youtube celebrity and instead be 3 of the game devs themselves. The confirmed faction leaders and what servers they normally play on are...

-Arclegger for the NC (Connery)
-Malorne for the TR (Matherson)
-Taylor for the VS (Unknown)

It's unknown if you'll see them all on one server for all five weeks, All on one different server for each week, or each of them on there own respected servers for the whole event.

Official day/time of the showdown for each week have yet to of been announced. All we know is it's this Month starting sometime after next weeks GU15 launche.
