According to the Steam Charts, the weekly playercount just for these past 2 days alone hasn't been this high since April 2013. http://steamcharts.com/app/17080#All

Boss, if they make us find seven lost crystals, I'm quitting.

Aaaand the servers are broken, you can't join games or even see anything in the server list. Even training mode is apparently kicking people out after a couple of minutes. This is after it was working fine for most of yesterday, and without the game itself being patched.

How can one company be so loving incompetent and still make money and be relatively successful? How are Hirez's engineers this bad? This is on top of all sorts of problems people are having actually installing and patching the game, because after 3 years they still can't code a proper launcher that doesn't poo poo itself inside out if you look at it wrong. Just downloading and patching Tribes, which has never been installed on this PC, not only didn't work but it also broke my installation of Smite.

I was just loving around in training mode for a while a little bit ago. I don't know what you're talking about. Though I can't see any servers either apparently right now.

It really sucks thinking back to the fact that this game would have been perfect if it wasn't made by HiRez.

No it wouldn't have. Somebody else would have hosed it up just as well as HiRez has, although they might have continued to support it for longer.

Lots of devs could've hosed it up in design more than HiRez did.


Very few of them would just abandon it to cash in on MOBA they ended up pumping money into to keep it relevant.

Installing this game was an interesting experience. A 4GB download on steam, then it spends the best part of an hour updating and installing other things.

The game's ok, but the class system isn't that interesting and the map design is pretty much non-existent. I was standing there looking around and had no idea where I was supposed to go, it wasn't clear where either team's base was. It's like 20 years of map design knowledge just passed the devs by.

Is there any point in using that rifle thing? You seem to get way more dps just using the assault rifle and not bothering to charge.

There are icons that are always on the screen that point to both flags and both bases if you are facing the direction. A quick spin around if nothing is on your screen would show you where to go if lost.

The map design is generally uninspired but most of the map you'd never go to unless you were setting up a capping route. As for the weapons adn damage, they changed literally everything in this update so refer to this for what does what https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IAxQgXYbyr4E6TnQqHoLX5RtRmiP7k_s8V0tqrqkQCw/pubhtml

use jump ski. Gets you off the ground faster and is better for small hops since it uses less energy.

dunno whats more pathetic, the group of gbs losers trying to vote rig their way into competitive esports on /r/Tribes or the fact that i got a shitload of stalkers from writing a post about player league regulation and unions.

im not going to play a game that rewards casuals that have to vote rigg reddit to feel good while the game population stays uncompetitive and dead neither are any real e-sports organizations or former pros, or current pros with agents, as has been publicly stated.



i realize there are a lot of hurt egos, money on the table, success and failure, possibly firings,

idc about any of this though

the co-founder of hirez contacted me about game ideas and the last bunch of employees they had all lied about their credentials and pedigree of "tribes pro best ever for 12 years" status, HiRezAPC, and some game testers etc.

the quake: ascend prefab physics they provide are a good competitive start but it needs a lot more tweaking

im glad they're reaching out to the historical pros more though like 5150, tribes 1 LT, natural, etc, and won't be surprised if one of my friends ends up with some streamer/game design or talk show type gig

we still have the best/most beautiful tribes playing womyn around Br0n who will come to this t:a game and kick every scrubs butt on stream 4 cash :"-)
she grew up with 4 older brothers who all played competitive tribes for 15 years and has played since she was less than 10

her brother is now a sportscaster

esports is business i do not enjoy partaking in and wish to deal with briefly. but t:a is most likely not going to take off without major reworks even if casuals or t2 pubbies enjoy it.

circle jerking each other isnt going to change this

The new patch is a definite improvement. Despite balance issues and bugs, any Tribes is better than none at all IMO.

For the record Dare, I haven't downvoted you or done any kind of vote rigging against you, and can safely say that no one else here has done it. No one here really cares enough to go out there way and disrupt your point of view despite how hosed up it comes across when you preach it. I was genuinely all for helping with getting an LT server for T:A and having fun with it. poo poo, I have enough gold for it thanks to the refund, I could easily host it for 90 days.

Redirect your anger at other miscreants who dare to tarnish your good name, instead of the good people on here.

Patch is good, for me the problem will be to get new people to start playing the game to begin with. "Hi-Rez patched Tribes? THAT Hi-Rez? After how many years? I'm sure they'll keep supporting their game and listen to the wishes of the communithahaha"
