Tribes: Ascend

Tribes: Ascend

I want Tribes 2 remastered.
Tribes Next.
Mod support intact.
User Interface modding intact.
Map editor intact.
LAN support intact.
Nothing changed except upgrade the graphics.
Tribes 2 (1999) for 2017. If only...
Imagine the fun of jetting around like in TA without the crappy gameplay and design.

Yes - at least they are taking their time to get it right unlike TA.
In TA they made some pretty big microtrans mistakes that made the game into Unreal Tournie with Jetpax. It was nearly unbearable going from Tribes 2 and even TV to everyone has an auto and I am the duck in duck hunt.

At least how they are handling jet physics gives me hope.

My core issue with ascend is just the utter refusal of them to ever adress problem issues like the numerous jet issues, broken items like smokes/quickdraw/bxt, and the flat out refusal to switch to either a repair system or a slow more constant regen system (or heck change chains).The funny thing is if they actualy coppied the stupid cod bloom on their stupid cod guns chains wouldnt have been as much of a fuster cluck that combined the worst of both worlds (not even touching the abomination that was bxt or nova colt).

Thats not even getting into bizzare designe descions like putting a dps gun like plasma in one slot and a dps chain in a second slot on the same charcter (or how otb just dosent work due to ascends physics)....or how broken it was on launch.

You can tell the bad players who play to troll:
1. Excessively use autos to grind down Heavies. Yeah ... 2cm thick heavy metal armor is so vulnerable to 9mm bullets and knives, right?
2. Use a cheap script to empty your pistol mag in 2 seconds. Um, hum ... pistols are so known to be super accurate - especially during rapid fire mode!
3. Spamming the other base within mortar range until you get a kill.
4, Race to the other base (take almost no time) and gen wrecking then sit on the gen.

There are other cheap strategies it makes me sick to know that it shares the same name as Starsiege and Tribes 2 (even vengeance).

Midair LOOKS cool. I hope they live up the hype!
1. Heavy armor be nigh immune to small arms fire. They are HEAVY armor. Pistols, shotguns and other small arms should have no effect on them.
2. Make all automatic weapons behave like them. They have a wider cone of fire and the cone of fire increases rapidly with duration of fire, speed, turning and being struck in combat.
3. If there are automatic weapons, create a heating mechanic that increases your IR signature for IR seeking missiles and possible weapon malfunction until it cools down. Rapid cooling of the weapon can cause it to freeze as well.
4. Make learning servers to help people learn to play. In these servers, give everyone a warthunder style aim reticle for every weapon and then give them an option to wean off of it.
5. Respect the player's creativity and enthusiasm for this awesome jetpack genre by giving them a level editor and mod support.
6. Listen to the players, don't ban negative reviews and comments (don't be EA).
