The patch list was updated with community suggestions. Some real interesting things in there now. Still holding my breath on this, cause I don't know how HiRez are going to put in a demo system when they couldn't do it before.

That's not the patch list with community suggestions, that is JUST community suggestions. They say it pretty clearly at the top of the page:

Quick impressions: Holy poo poo, so many of these weapons were balanced around not having a Spinfusor available. There is way more chain now because there is no reason not to. Why bring an Eagle Pistol as a sidearm when you can bring the NJ5-B? HiRez is going to have a hell of a time balancing all these weapons out and doing something about all the now useless duplicates. That said, there are some crazy fun builds to play around with right now. One I enjoyed the most was a Light armor with the Dueling Spinfusor and Nova Blaster, the maneuverability of the Pathfinder with the punch of the Blaster is a potent combination. You can't equip the Blaster on Medium armor though, which is a bit of a shame.

Most fun I had with T:A in years. Everything you can imagine is an OP build... which shouldn't work, but does anyway.

Cautiously optimistic. Hopefully enough people go back to the game that High Rez will give the game consistent support.

This sudden interest might be related to Hi-Rez's reputation of abandoning games, while they're releasing a new IP called Paladin. Seems like they want the SMITE players not to worrying about losing support.

It'll be fun to see if they follow through and where this goes, but drat I'm awful at this game now.

Have to see if I can aim the mortar anymore, that thing has been my favorite fps weapon ever since Tribes 2. Connecting with those 600+ hail mary shots never gets old :allears:. Also remember having fun parking my fat rear end on the flag with a chaingun and the perk that caused enemy players to splat against you. Or was that just the shields you dropped?

It's a perk, which you can also run on INF while invisible. Nothing gets inside a capper's head like splatting in the middle of a route.

Between this and invisible snipers everywhere, and not playing since shortly after the INF update in 2012, pathfinding seems crazy hard, but it could be getting used to the idea of invisible snipers and infiltrator walls.

Tribes is a hard loving game man, it is the demented offspring of an FPS and a Flight Sim where Soldiers strap Jets to their rear end and use Explosions as Propulsion. Nothing about that sounds easy.

It's not just that, the players coming back to this game left the comp scene for T:A years ago. If you go in a server, you're likely going to be playing with some legendary players just because they are checking stuff out.

It seems that the team behind this REALLY want to fix the game. It seems the dev team are completely unshackled from talking about development. This is a complete 180 from how it used to be. I'm worried to commit too.

A definite maybe.



I really forgot what a humbling experience playing Tribes is. It is a game that waves it's impossibly high skill ceiling in your face and makes you realize just how terrible you are.

Hell, I hope they re-work the Shrike. It felt so bad compared to the Tribes 2 version, wasn't nearly as maneuverable, and the weapon sucked. It also lacked a first person view which really sucked. BUT MAYBE I'M BIASED.
