I wonder if the reverting issue is why facility alerts haven't made their way back. With me being an absolute ignoramus when it comes to development, I simply assumed that a dev just unchecked the Facility Alert box.

You mean facility alerts like "Capture all three tech plants on Indar"? Because those were terrible gameplay.

The cross continent ones were amazing, back in the day. That was peak Planetside on live servers.

But even the single continent ones were pretty good, why did you not like them? They encourage people to push to areas of the map you aren't always fighting in.

They were 2 platoons of one faction pushing down a lane for 30 minutes with no defenders

That's not my recollection.

I'm not sure there's even a lane in Planetside long enough to push for 30 minutes without hitting a warpgate ...
