>increasing the player count
What does that acomplish? Have you played the game? Its slow as fricking dogshit because they're designing it for 5v5 esports matchmaking. Trying to build speed at all is like pulling teeth and the highest speeds you can get as a light is slower than what you can achieve as a heavy in T:A.
The fricking reddit flagdrag esports brainrot is fricking real and it'll abort this game just as hard as it killed Tribes Ascend, a game that was already suffering due to being abandoned and abused by hi-rez already, going slow in a game about speed is aids

What's the solution to the impossibility of chasing in T:A, if not slowing things down?

of chasing >Go fast
The problem with T:A just before Out of the Blue was that everyone and their dog learned how to do 450+ BtF grabs. There was literally a 2-second window between the grab and the capture. Chasing was unfeasible even with much slower grabs. Cappers had too much speed while the chaser had to build it from scratch.

This is not related to chasing. Chasing only starts after the successful grab, with the build-up a couple seconds before, a bit more if you can predict the backroute.
The only solution I have is to make the feasible back routes less straightforward, but that would frick up the level design and give EVEN MORE power to snipers.

>This is not related to chasing
It is, because 300+ sanic runs were something you prevented.
Thanks to flagdrag you know what happened? Fatty spam and the games just devolved into deathmatch on the enemy flagstand because no one can fricking cap in a game where you can get 2 shot easily and now you have moronic slow sandrakers playing boostfinder spamming nitrons on the handicapped flag carrier

homosexualory you spew, the game is slow as shit and clearly designed for smaller maps and smaller teams since the TTK is significantly higher while the skiing speed is fricking slow
tried it, took half an hour to log in and authenticate, then took 10 minutes to find a 5v5 game on a basically empty map. movement was slow and weird and it felt like i had some weird mouse accel. and no FRICKING VEHICLES. tribes is dead. just leave it in it's grave.
Hi-Rez burned the frick out of me with the way they treated Ascend.
I loved Ascend. I played it daily. I played it religiously. It was my lifeblood.
Then those pieces of shit just let it die. The scars on my heart are not faded, I have not forgotten, nor will I easily forgive.
... but I'm installing right now. God damn it. Shazbot. [VSDF] I'LL DEFEND OUR FLAG
The way they murdered Ascend for no good reason will live rent free in my head until I die. There was no reason to kill it, they just did it because they're malignant fricking c**ts. >oh no people are enjoying our game? >better ruin it so that they can go enjoy our other game that is a completely different genre :^)
there was no logic to it, and that is what really fricks my ass.
same, seeing the fricking authenticate error and having to manually kill the task over and over spoiled a lot of the excitement I had for this. why the hell did we expect anything from hi-rez again
Because I'm an old man that sucks at FPS games now
I think I was only good at starsiege:tribes because I had DSL Internet when everyone I was playing against had dialup
Or maybe they announced a playtest hours before it started with next to no visibility while people were watching the game awards
I care about Tribes and I didn't know this was happening today
They killed the game before it even began.

Just let me join a game in progress you stupid fricks. Server browser NOW!
Do all maps have flags out in the open like Ascend or are there actually flags in base maps now? Every flag cap being essentially being a speedy homosexual with the only counter being a fat frick on the flag in Ascend was dumb.
There was plenty of other ways to deal with flags in real Tribes. Just run them down with a Shrike or Laser them. Chaingun and grenades launchers hanging out midfield.
I don't know how it was in the bootlegged microtransaction version. If it was bad there than sorry you played fake Tribes.
>fatass on the flag >forcefield >mines >sniper >landing blueplates when the 500 sanic carrier is flying straight towards you >stealing the enemy flag so they can't cap
You don't even need to blueplate them, unless they're rabbiting, at which point they'll eventually lose enough speed to catch up to, you can easily splash them when on offense as they approach their flag stand since they more likely than not nuked their health with nitrons before grabbing the flag
I had some fun, but seems like even less people can cap now. I haven't had a single balanced game because typically only one person in the lobby can cap and whoever gets them will win 5-0. Think it has potential, but obviously can never be confident with these people.
Played a few rounds. Feels good to be back, but the energy pool is low and 5v5 is a little empty. I know they want more players down the line, but it's a lot harder to have casual fun with that amount.
ascend was modernized garbage for garbage gamers who knew nothing of the original
this looks exactly the same, and you can tell from the youtube comments nobody remembers ascend but us losers, that means this will be forgotten garbage as well
Every weapon other than the spinfusor feels off to use
They need to reload too often, they're inaccurate and I can't tell if weapons like the pistol are supposed to be projectile or hitscan weapons
I am absolutely crushing people with the heavy bolt. The splash is very large. I've managed to kill a lot of cappers with it. I think the pistols and shotguns are hitscan. Everything else has a projectile. Decent fun, but this shit is supposed to be a finished game in like 2 months and lol it's not even close. I don't even know if it'd be done in 6.
>this shit is supposed to be a finished game in like 2 months and lol it's not even close. I don't even know if it'd be done in 6.
Planned released date is sometime in 2024 though? They're very upfront about this being an early alpha
I am not touching Tribes until it is no longer in the hands of HiRez or people affiliated to HiRez
I loved Ascend, but looking back I realised it was good on accident and the devs had no idea what actually made it good as they kept making it worse and made batshit insane gamebreaking decisions repeatedly that eventually killed the game because it was no longer fun to play
There is no hope for Tribes 3 to be good

Frick off. Just place Tribes vengeance

DOA
How is it
it's still tribes
>fall down on flat surface

Nope. Shit ain't Tribes, mr.marketerjeet.
Bc i got work in the morning homie, i'll play tomorrow.
Looks like Ascend. Which is good! Let T2 gays whine over people having fun.
I mean, the original release version of T:A. Not the OBT and not OotB.
tried it, took half an hour to log in and authenticate, then took 10 minutes to find a 5v5 game on a basically empty map. movement was slow and weird and it felt like i had some weird mouse accel. and no FRICKING VEHICLES. tribes is dead. just leave it in it's grave.
it feels really easy to go 120+ as a heavy
>Hirez studios
I just got put into a fricking game with 2 people on my team.
How is this game already dead?
What the frick
5v5 is fricking garbage, no one cares about e-sports posturing. It's not even worth doing anything but custom match.
They purposefully ruined this game, why are they resurrecting it again? To kill it one more time?
Ascend was based, will this be based?
>5v5
Verdict: absolutely not
>arena shooters
might as well go play fricking tetris
these games are outdates and boring
It's a team game, moron
Hey are you still around? Genuinely curious what games you think are better than arena shooters or tetris. Fortnite? lol.

hi-rez ruins their own games for no reason
why would anyone want to keep repeating this cycle
Shazbot!
Anyone know how much it will cost?
Feels like a $20 game right now.
free to play and they will murder it with pay to win garbage
It's fun, but it's just like Hi-Rez Tribes.
It sucks
Trying to actually get in was so fricking annoying that now I'm in I don't really care any more

The flag will be in the correct place, out in the open, as it has been since /Starsiege:Tribes/ zoomer.
Bases are for generators.
I want variety, I do not want to see the only counterplay being a fatass on the flag
There was plenty of other ways to deal with flags in real Tribes. Just run them down with a Shrike or Laser them. Chaingun and grenades launchers hanging out midfield.

isn't that just what rabbit is
I've never played tribes

can I play with a controller
Wait until it releases. Playing now is a novelty. It only has 2 maps, bad netcode, low pop that is mostly boomers that will rape you.

no chance

you gays never learn
Ya galo sangen
>People saying it's High Rez

Got the rights from who?
the rights father
it's owned by Erez who used to own HiRez when they made Ascend. The discord even has people like HiRezBart and HiRezAPC in it.
Because there's just one 12v12 that's full all the time.
I didn't know the beta is out. The game has close to no marketing.
It looks more... prebaked than Ascend, too. But I'll definitely try it. I miss Tribes.
Because I'm still at work
Soon tho.
