That roadmap is pretty sparse. Outside of the generic "fixing bugs and balancing" patches it's pretty much adding a new gun with "potential addition of new weapons" and 2 maps.

You could have at least linked Quake Live, which is still pretty dead. Shame on me for appreciating any new FPS Z that is fun to play with new players.

If you’re old enough to care about Tribes you’ve probably spent  on much dumber things.

on Tribes for a year is an okay trade for me. I certainly spend more money on games that I play a lot less of.

I loved the playtests, but with how the devs are handling criticism, fighting with players and blatently half assing this game I decided to keep my money. The game is very fun, but the kind of in-fighting and community division that is happening is very repulsive. The game has yet to break 1000 concurrent players. Pretty sad.

Genuinely curious why Starsiege: Tribes could do so many things that more modern interactions just can't seem to land? I loved that game so much and played it until my eyes bled in the 90s. IMO tribes is a 64 vs 64 fps with vehicles and jetpacks. Anything else is a Halo clone. It seems odd to me that no one can repeat what was possible decades ago.

People are giving you grief cause your take is “If you want a modern Tribes game just play old Tribes” which is hilarious at best. Tribes is skiing and trick shots and capture the flag but the two old games everyone loved were also big player counts, vehicles and making a mess of the base with deployables. This is half a Tribes game and they’ve basically already assured it’s gonna die. Which sucks!

Sorry (not sorry) but 32v32 and vehicles is not what defines tribes gameplay to me, at all. It's set dressing. I find it baffling that so many grognards hold to those maximal metrics so righteously. It reminds me of the weird checkmark gating dweebs used to do by complaining endlessly about how modern games have matchmaking instead of community server browsers. If you don't want to play a 32v32 version of tribes with vehicles that is still being played... Play battlefield I guess? Or Planetside? Is that still being played? You have some options if match player count and vehicles is what matters most to you in a game. If you care more about fun skiing and capture the flag, things that do fundamentally define tribes gameplay to me, then there's a fun new option to play for  . As long as you're not weird about old standards that is.

I, and I'd wager many more like me, was always pretty at skiing and trickshotting effectively. The bigger games and vehicles meant that more people could tool around and repair bases and fly jets into mountainsides without the stress of performing well that smaller matches impose. I'd argue that it's to their detriment that all the modern Tribes pretenders only cater to the ultra-competitive who haven't stopped playing since '98.

yeah big servers with lots of players make it easier to gently caress around and do your own thing and just generally have a good time small servers with few players per team makes games feel a lot more competition focused and yeah "hardcore", and each mistake or misplay from one of the few players makes a bigger difference in the outcome of the round which can also increase ranked-matchmaking toxicity although i can see how a target of 128v128 matches wouldn't really make sense for a small early access game since there just won't be the playercount still i dont really have much desire to play super competitive 6v6 esports games nowadays RPATDO_LAMD fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Mar 15, 2024 |

They added a mechanic for players that only care about playing on the periphery, it's this outpost capping thing I do if I'm not feeling like capping/chasing the flag, or mortar spamming, or playing the generator, or any other number of roles that isn't "hardcore CTF" It's just not as epic ftw as cramming as many players as you can onto a vehicle and laughing when it blows up.

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2687970/view/6650200081102674591 They are changing the weapon/suit skin pass. You will earn a skin for each of your first 10 wins of the day, capped to 365 total skins with the pass. This pretty much gets rid of the FOMO people were feeling where missing a single day would mean a potential skin permanently lost from your purchase. They are also going to add a 4v4 TDM queue.

Patchnotes posted:- Bots in ranked  Was bewildered at this at first, but it sounds like a really smart way to use bots in that context actually. I'm too bad at this game to care about ranked, but I am glad to hear it is getting its fair share of attention.

Ugh. just make T2 Classic with modern graphics, half a dozen game modes, and some cosmetic purchases ( I'd pay for a Bioderm skin) ffs it can't be hard. I wish the community made projects would take off, a couple of those have had the right ideas

There's cosmetic DLCs, one skin every day. The catch? You can only unlock that day's skin if you log in and win at least one match. And you have to buy the privilege to do so. Why we can't just choose Diamond Sword, or Blood Eagles right from the get-go I don't understand

You can! You just need to pay an extra 40 bux for the respective DLC pack.  The cosmetics monetization scheme is baffling to me. But at least it is only cosmetics, and doesn't impact how fun the base game is. Prophecy out there whale hunting I guess.

Managed to score myself another hat trick, on Raindance this time. This game is still so fun to just jump in and start capping flags and shooting blue plate specials. The only thing that's annoying me now is that all the veteran players only want to play on Raindance or Dangerous Crossing, so while there's a few other maps that are fun to play on that come up during the map vote, it's always one of those that gets the vast majority of votes. Can get a bit repetitive after too long.
