What the???

[PsychoPsyops]

I’m not allowed to play the larger matches without playing the smaller matches a certain number of times!?

How about you’re not allowed to make a game without sucking on something a certain number of times.

It’s 2024.

lol
yeah that one kinda struck me as a bit odd as well when the screen popped up. at first I think it was because those modes weren't available in the demo.. then I realized what it was actually telling me... A bit of a miss for me...

Is that still happening? Can you at least choose between the arena bomb mode and the CTF mode? I thought I read in Discord that they were doing away with the number of games thing but maybe it was only the bomb mode game where you had to play 10 games of 4v4 and opened it up to allow you to play 7v7 CTF.

let them test sh*t and approaches in ALPHA STAGE. Instead of providing feedback normally you just throw tantrums on forum like a little girl.
The contemporary gamer is spoiled af.

Normal person: "Hello, I feel the decision to force us to play the mode we do not like in order to play the mode we do like is not okay, especially today"
Little girl: "WHAT THE HELL? I AM NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY??? HOW ABOUT YOU MAKE A NORMAL GAME YOU SUCKERS? SH*T 2024 DEVS EAT A D*CK, I'M DEFINITELY LEAVING A 1-STAR REVIEW ON GOOGLE MAPS"

Also, those smaller games are supposed to teach new players about the mechanics and gameplay before throwing them into larger games' ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ where they act completely lost and have no idea what is going on. By the time they reach CTF they at least can ski and move, not just run the map on foot for 3 hours in one direction and then complain that the game is too slow lol. True story.

I have plenty of disposable income to spend on games. If this game is decent I'll gladly pay, and pay to support DLC or other items. However, what I don't have is unlimited time. I have a job, I have a family, I have a home...the limited amount of time I get to play video games I want to play what I want to play, I don't want to be corralled into some game mode that is absolutely NOT Tribes. I f I have to jump through hoops instead of just join a (still pathetically small) CTF game then I'm just turning it off and going to go do something else. Hi-Rez Jr. is really shooting themselves in the foot with this nonsense. I haven't even tried to play since that first yOu MuSt PlAy OuR 4 vS 4 bOmB mOdE nonsense, and I'm *this close* to just uninstalling and walking away.

Honestly Craw, I played the 12v12, and while it was marginally better than the 4v4 bs, it wasn't much better...

I enjoy a good CTF match as much as the next guy, and i'd be stupid to think that CTF wasn't a staple of original tribes... but this just feels so tiny.. you can't hide anywhere, you can't actually snipe the way you could in T1 and T2, you can't defend the way you would in T1 and T2.. it just straight up doesn't feel right to me.. I went in to one match, and the match was over in under 10 minutes because one or two guys were apparently so pro at skiing, and just cycled the opposing teams flag over and over... it was kinda funny, but super disappointing at the same time.

This is definitely not what made tribes great in my opinion.

Bonez, you're absolutely correct. That being said, I was willing to give Hi-Rez Jr. the benefit of the doubt in the pre-release phase, and just enjoy even a tiny 12 vs 12, hoping something bigger and better was coming. And I did, at least as long as I was able to - then they started requiring I devote precious time to their goofball 4 vs 4 mode, that's my red line - uninstalled.

I'm not sure what you mean. I just chose 12v12 ctf and it has been working for me.

Yeah absolutely.. locking off play modes like that is a really REALLY bad design decision.. forcing playtime to make you "earn" the privilege to play with more players..
I keep seeing people saying that they changed their minds and unlocked it, but I still see locked game modes when I launch the demo..

And anyone making the argument that it's better for new players to experience 4v4 than to jump in to the "clusterf***" of a 12v12 to get used to the game... I just don't even know what to say to that.. just such a emotionally stunted and soft position to take... very odd

I've noticed I've only been getting 7v7 CTF instead of 12v12, not as much fun :( I guess because there aren't enough people playing?

There's currently 17 players online total, lol. BTW, this thread is really old.
