Imagine if the World Cup was played by completely different rules than most soccer matches. It'd suck.

basically these arrogant game devs and casuals get ahold of this series. then they try to reimagine it while it was never broken from the original (which only got popular because the game had a glitch and was broken in the first place and drm free word of mouth marketing and distribution) every time the casuals and egotistical devs do this the community completely divides, the pro community abdicates to new games (like chump and talespin did with Overwatch and are now #1 in the ESL @ it) and people get dramatic the pros are never listened to they leave, a new group of pros come in severely more arrogant less skilled and blind than the historical guys that have been playing for 18 years since they were 10 LOL these new casual "pros" cry for changes to be made for the game to cater to their low skill level to make them feel good like they're actually good fps gamers, the game gets dumbed down even more. no one wants to play the dumbed down game, even more ppl leave eventually its just the casual devs and their hardcore fan base of casuals and even their casual pros leave because they aren't getting the ego fix or attention they crave by being #1 at the easiest video game of all time. the most major ironic and great thing imo was oldschool players coming back to t;a and owning all the new school guys and causing them to quit their own claim to fame game anyway the series is totally hosed and no one wants to play a basketball game where the rules change every other day to reward the worst players. this is why im most comfortable playing http://reflexfps.net/ or https://www.reddit.com/r/Tribes1 with truly skilled fps players, not cod/cs/console noobies like what ascend attracted.

Okay enough about whatever that was. Just noticed this thread and got interested. Was already worth checking out since I lost my old copy of Starsiege, which was an amazing game, and HiRez is providing the files. So for someone who hasn't played since the original tribes, is this new iteration of Tribes Ascend starting to look like it might be worth picking up at some point?

League of Legends and Dota 2 are 2 of the most popular games on the planet at the moment & they don't have special rules between competetive play and regular casual play (if you can stand MOBA AIDS anyway)

Anyone else have all of their GP refunded? All of my skins and voices are gone but I'm up 9000 GP and I'm not sure I'll be able to spend it all.

They refunded gold/xp/all that poo poo because of the rework to classes and weapon loadouts.

Just saw this thread and wait. Did they just effectively remove the F2P model from this game? I haven't touched this series since tribes 2, but XP and gold being worthless, going back to the original armor loadouts, LAZER PAINTER?! Sign me up. I didn't remember the name rollercoaster, but when I saw that map I instantly recognized the floating platforms. The only dealbreaker is F2P - basically if I throw down a regular game's worth of money, will that be enough? or will it always want more?

I played for a few hours earlier today, and as far as I can tell, the only things you can buy with real money now are cosmetics (skins/voice packs/etc). Every weapon and pack is unlocked by default.

Snipers got loving neutered holy poo poo. The rifles take twice as long to recharge, deal pitiful damage, and the range is godawful. I tested it by shooting at a friend standing on the other side of the base in Canyon Crusade and dealt literally no damage, as in not even a hit marker. This is both good and bad, skilled snipers can no longer shut down an entire team, but pegging a flag carrier requires ninja reflexes. You pretty much have to swap to LA and chase like the good old days. I'm starting to get my mojo back, I started today being lucky enough to get maybe 4 or 5 kills and I closed out my last game with a relentless killstreak and 5 blue plates. Blueshift and Terminus are way too big though, they belong in Tribes 2. Horace Kinch fucked around with this message at 08:57 on Dec 11, 2015 |

Colorspray posted:Did they just effectively remove the F2P model from this game? And it now costs just $10 to unlock *everything* non-cosmetic. So the "pay" half of f2p is now pretty minimal. The LAZER PAINTER doesn't really do anything other than be a laser beam and show you a mostly range number. It doesn't put aiming targets on teammates huds like in Tribes 2. But since call-in inventory drops and orbital strikes were removed, they needed to have a laser thing. People used laser flashes to signal to each other for ESPORKS flag passes and such.

Which Mumble are you goons congregating on for this? Because I'm reinstalling and want to play. I imagine everyone will be playing in the evenings for the American timezones.

Every weapon and pack is unlocked by default. I have a second account that had only ever put in free gold / promotional codes, no money. That one had one or two weapons in each category unlocked, a couple of packs for each class, and a pile of XP. And no gold or skins or anything else, so I guess the wipe took away all the promo code gold.

So I'll be playing this all weekend now. I just need one goddamn thing: give me a key information that goes to the weapon I was just using! There does need to be 4 binds that just cycle through all weapons.

There does need to be 4 binds that just cycle through all weapons. Setting an key to toggle between just 2 weapons is easy with binds -- and something I'm looking at myself because I was getting all kinds of messed up from having more than two weapons. I got way too used to switching with the mousewheel not caring about direction, and now I'm getting interrupted by the third weapon in duels. But be warned that forcing the game to accept & keep custom binds is an enormous pain in the rear end.
