Could someone elaborate about this latest T:A update that is supposed to suck so much? I heard they put speed caps in? If so, lol @ this game

Do they truly not understand what tribes is really about..? I am not very much invested in T:A because I dont plan on playing it.. but all this talk about what they are doing to the game makes it sound they are trying to fuck it up.

imagine how much fun you have going 130...now imagine that you are stuck to the ground. Thats what Hi-Rez thinks is fun.

Speeds are very slow compared to classic. Weapons are an abomination. Only having one viable weapon is retarded. Forget grenades and mines.

I think they had a business model concept before they had a game...and whatever game they got cheap rights to...was going to get the royal treatment. They're literally forcing a square peg into a round hole.

Im actually getting tired of it. They couldnt care less about ANYTHING we have to say about the game. All they want to know is "are our servers working?". That is all we are there for.

To anyone that has played and loved tribes, you can just read what they are implementing and unequivocally know that it is going to be not fun and outside of the spirit of the game.

They shouldn't let newbies make a Tribes game.

Tribes Vengeance was supposed to be a "Counter-Strike game with bullet time" near the end. Irrational Games did a lot of work protecting the game from retarded suits and that's why they couldn't design it into a good game.

HiRezBart ain't got shit on Irrational Games.

I heard HiRezBart is good people. Confirm/deny.

this is really pretty sad to hear this much bad news from all the vets :/

Sometimes I make lists of the bad things they've done to Tribes, but I never complete them because I get bored/depressed around 12 or 15.

I knew this day would come.

well heres the rub imo with the t2 ip. hirez bought it and can do what they want with it. i very much disagree with their model and take on tribes but sadly, its theirs now.

im more pissed at the fuckers who sold the IP to this type of studio.

sorta makes me miss dave g and co. t2 out of the box was still tribes in essence, albeit very slow and buggy

Deny. He promised T2 10 year winners a Q&A and then ignored us when we asked about it. Also he never gave us alpha/beta invites.

thats really unfortunate.. if somebody took the best of T1 and T2 and placed it on a better graphics engine I would upgrade my system for it. I am just not even going to try given what I am being told about T:A

Do you think they are just "dumbing down" the tribes series for the masses? I know just about every other game series has done this.

Now their just butchering it.

True. Appreciate your laser support.

Got to give it to HiRez, they are doing an excellent job at keeping Tribes 2 alive.

i wish all they were doing was dumbing down... you know it's gone too far though when they are adding stuff in (like speed caps) which was specifically taken out by t2 players for classic.

if i were a bad game designer and realized that tribes-style gameplay would attract people like ZP, i would remove tribes-style gameplay too

They're not JUST dumbing it down. They're fucking it to hell also.

I came into the process brighteyed and hoping for the best, but it was quickly apparent that our presence is both irrelevant and disliked. Tribes vets are a necessary evil in their mind, this game wasnt made for us, it was made for people have have no clue what tribes is. If you've never seen or heard of it and have only played single player duke nukem, you might like it.

LOVE IT! lol

Speed limits just like there is in Tribes 2... funny shit alright

Wait, what? Only limit I know of is jets won't add velocity after something like 200kph ^wards.

He wasn't around long enough to know what that is.

Oh hes been around. Seen him at least 4-5 times in goons, almost always osniping the vpad. Hes terrible when you engage him, but he gets some mean kills on immobilized targets.

to be fair if you read the player data files for classic there is a speed cap

it's just set a 500 kph

meaning it's never really an issue in real games

I can jump out of a shrike at the flight ceiling and fall to the ground faster than 500kph. If you fall through a map you'll see your speed hud skyrocket as you plummet. There's no way that 500kph is the cap.

If classic rewrote the physics, it's possible that value doesn't do anything.

Haven't people made grabs at 515kph?

I keep playing it hoping I will somehow magically start liking it. After about 1/2hour, or 2 maps, I have to return to Tribes 2 to play some REAL tribes.

How could they make a game after 10 years of technical advancements have such shitty physics?

I swear if I hit the lotto, I would remake Tribes the right way.

I made this at 6:30 in the morning before I went to bed. That was about the 50th dead stop I hit so I just said fuck it and went with that. I had one that went over 700kph but I deleted it as I was trying to get to like 1000kph.

I was thinking this way also until i saw the TA hacks that are coming out already. HR has made no mention about combating it, and have only deleted the threads asking them about it in teir forum.

With the auto aimers out there unchecked, i'll have ZERO interest in this 'game'. It isnt being distributed yet on a large scale as far as i can tell.

I sure hope guild wars 2 is all i hope it will be.

This thread made me laugh... and until a few weeks ago I would have dismissed it under the usual.. T:A is new, unreleased so wait till you play it until you judge it...

But meh, after a couple of weeks playing the beta I'm starting to lose all hope in it. It gets boring very quickly.

I thinks its going to be a flop and after a couple of months after its release its going to be in the same league as Legions Overdrive which..bottom line means T:V would be more popular.

Such a shame. Humanity. It's fucked.
