Segmentation Fault posted:I can't believe that they're reviving this for reasons Kalstrams is saying. They see the writing on the wall with MOBAs and they know SMITE's going to loving die. I hope the managers at Hi-Rez never work a salaried job again. I'm sure they feel bad for disappointing bitter nerds whilst they do blow off hookers in a Scrooge McDuck money vault that Smite has made them.

I wonder if maybe now that Smite is working on the XBONE they may be going back to Tribes and investigating porting that as well.

Yes, and if you have Tribes already installed you may need to wipe your graphics settings because something doesn't play nice with a few of the changes in PTS and causes weird rendering.

I'll never spend another cent on this game, so I hope hirez is doing it out of goodwill and good PR. If they expect me to give them money ever again, it won't ever be for this game and only if they made a complete 180 and maintained that attitude. lollllllllllllllllllll

It's probably a small faction of devs that actually enjoyed working and developing T:A but were forced to switch to Smite because HiRez executives were unhappy that tribes didn't overtake Counter-Strike for e-sports. These same executives probably forced those devs to introduce 'strictly better items to increase cash flow, thus destroying any future for the game by scaring off regulars and players who couldn't afford the time or money to even out the playing field. All this on top of a time period where skill shooters have been extremely unpopular with the PC crowd.

Scratch that, I can't even log in. Been trying for the last hour, servers show as UNKNOWN in the launcher and all I get is a lost connection message when I try to log in. Also apparently my account is only level 5? I was much, much higher than that when I stopped playing.

So after playing a few games... They need to make auto's spread at least a little, Snipers are so easy to counter now every light can be packing its good, Falling and the jets are still weird/broken, I wish all the fusors worked like the blinkfusor

Yeah, IMO they need to increase spread on the automatics, greatly reduce the projectile velocity, and give bullets 100% inheritance to compensate (they have 0% now, Spinfusors have 50%.) The velocity and inheritance changes would make them useful for chasing while reducing their effectiveness at close range, and the spread change because, well, they're pretty goddamn accurate. It is pretty loving scary just how deadly the automatics are, and if someone draws one on you while you're mid-air, you don't have enough potential movement speed to make yourself an unpredictable target and will just get gunned down. A lot of the combat I've seen recently has been two players with shield packs ADADing on the ground while bullet-hosing each other like loving Planetside2, it seems so un-Tribes-like that not flying or going fast while walking back and forth is a valid combat strategy. I spent a lot of time yesterday with a Spinfusor / Throwing Knives loadout and those things are straight bullshit, they hit like a truck and have near-bullet velocity, I dropped a couple of cappers with shots from ranges I had no business hitting from.

We can dream. I think the auto players are what killed it for me last time, it was just pointless to use a fusor in tribes

I don't mean the autos should go or anything just like the example, its basically heavy and meds wasd around with a shield spraying everyone to death - not fun and you either have to use an auto or get perfect hits

So i only skimmed the OP but I can't get into the game via steam. It loads the launcher, i click play and it begins to load, resizes my monitor, then crashes every time. Is there a separate non steam executable I need to get? This game gives me no hope but I played a shitload of tribes and I will MA each and everyone of you in the face before i give up again for another 5 years.

Tried a match on PTS and it was filled with chainers and snipers still. However I also accidentally tried a match on the old servers which are just as populated, and there were no snipers at all, I actually had a fun match of Tribes?

Are you an honorfusor player? If so, go play on Raspy's Roadhouse. It's basically catered for your kind.

Although automatic weapons prob need slower speed or more spread, most people who complain are the kind that will miss 8 spinfusor shots in a row and think you are the bad one for hitting them with bullets.

It's not about being gitting gud though? It's about having a fun match of Tribes. And sorry the emphasis should've been more on snipers. Chains are always going to be a thing in the game because a fusor doesn't make sense in every situation. I don't have a problem with chains being in Tribes, just with them being so effective at long range. Snipers are really dumb though, and PTS is full of them. I gather this is just a side effect of having new blood in the game.

Yeah it's  to hear the players already making the exact same complaints again. Now we just need the "comp" players to come in and tell hirez that the servers need ff and different team sizes than the built in comp settings to complete the experience. I really am waiting to see how long the hirez puts up with the comp and e-honor crowd this time before the just say gently caress it.

I think it's insanely annoying that I'll be doing my capping route and some dude is spraying me with his chaingun or LMG from across the map, preventing me from regening because fail cappers slam into him at light speed and give him infinite ammo. Not a big problem on maps with lots of cover though. It's so freaking horrible on boardside and other maps without much though.

xyigx posted:Yeah it's I dont know why everyone isn't a heavy on the PTS, shield gen, mortar, chaingun, nova, and the saber launcer, take fractals and you are at peak rear end in a top hat. I would like smaller team sizes, but thats just me, the game feels better when you dont have to try and break through 8 heavies and level 4 base turrets. Although I wish I was good at sniping so I could keep my team from losing, having a good sniper makes your D feel impenetrable, facing one just makes you feel like your waiting to lose.
