And t:v is beyond ofn i think every tribes player has known about it for the past year already.
I am also sceptical as to how this game will be. The thought of a single player part is discouraging and makes me wonder if they dumbed down the game even more than they did with tribes2.
Post by: Saleen on January 16, 2004 03:05 pm CST
obviously they are utilizing the fact that the option of making mods for tribes 1 is the only thing that is making it last so long (they are allowing in-game variable changes [stated by UnderGod]). its hard to tell so far away from release, but maybe they are putting a little more attention on gameplay? it doesnt take a genious to realize that the graphics are dazzling, but maybe that is making up for something? you never know.. just playing the devils advocate here. those requirements really are harsh, though.. the minimum requirement for graphics card is the best card radeon has out right now! i guess a new line of cards will release before t:v does, but still.. makes it hard for their game to be available to those with a limited budget.
Post by: UnderGod on January 16, 2004 03:16 pm CST
You have to realize though.. This isn't the same DEV team.. And these people unlike Sierra, spent more time playing Tribes than T2, because it is blantly that Tribes is much better.
Half-Life 2 has just as good, if not better graphics than T:V. Don't kid yourself thinking they are trying to hide something with them. Games of this day and age need graphics, or they just won't sell.
As for the single player.. Though they say it has a really nice story, it will also teach you some of the skills you will need to develope for online play..
Remember, the game won't handle like Tribes and T2. Not with new netcode, and a smoother engine. That however, doesn't mean that it still won't have the classic Tribes feel to it.
Post by: Quaduce on January 16, 2004 03:47 pm CST
It would just be nice if t:v was at least similar to tribes in the good aspects. But im assuming it will be more like XMP/ut2k4 than tribes. I dont care how good it looks, how well it can mod, how many new stupid weapons and crap they add, all i care about is gameplay.

Im lost here...when u say gameplay and such between T and T2, I just don't get it...what is the gameplay and how is it better? T2 seems to be pretty good on its own with the interface and graphics and online stability...im lost here.
the things you listed are exactly what gameplay isnt. gameplay is basically the quality of fun that you have while playing the game. is it easy to manipulate the controls, are there many annoying aspects about movement or the way your gun fires. gameplay, the reason why games were invented. basically, is it fun or not?
tribes 1 wouldnt be the same without skiing.. the fact that you can go so fast is what makes the game fun! tribes 2 destroyed that. it feels sluggish and unresponsive.
i guess your right undergod, t:v is being developed by different people.. i just hope its something new and doesnt turn into a ut2k3 or the like.
Post by: Quaduce on January 16, 2004 04:09 pm CST
T1 has something no other game has and its hard to explain it. I dont believe you really played tribes till you have played and competed with the very best tribes players to play the game. And i doubt anyone here has really done that besides me, but i think sil and undergod might know what i mean...

I've seen it before. It's called 'truth'. Tribes has a charm and a feel that you don't get by playing around on n00bfarms like Valhalla (as suggested earlier). It's an indescribable element that sets it apart from all other games. Tribes is the only multiplayer FPS that I've been able to stand for more than ten minutes, and I don't think I nor anyone else can explain why.
It's the x-factor that makes Tribes so amazing. Is it 'skiing'? The required skill of the weapons? The community? The super-fast paced chases with multiple rounds of explosive flechettes flying past your head and teammates on the ground spamming the 'ready' sound? What is it? No one really knows.

im willing to bet i could beat you in base duel, or ctf. you can generalize all you want but just because you have been here longer doesnt mean youre right about everything
Post by: Quaduce on January 16, 2004 11:15 pm CST
Dont get all disgruntled on me. By saying im not right, your saying im wrong, and, i never am.
I have maybe opened tribes a handfull of times in the past year and a half and i dont need to prove myself to you anyway, who are you again?
In not only a better tribes player than you.
Im a better person.

Post by: Saleen on January 16, 2004 11:33 pm CST
you just proved yourself to be egotistical and self-centered without me even having to say it...
you can talk about how your a better player all you want, but you are afraid you cant prove it, which is why you wont even try. only shows how weak you really are..
Post by: Quaduce on January 17, 2004 12:01 am CST
You are calling me out of retirement for well over a year to come "fight" you on tribes? Your calling me weak? Thats just pathetic. I played my game back in the day when being good accualy mattered, i need not to prove myself to some nameless person over the internet on a game i dont even play anymore. If this was 2-3 years ago (when i accualy played) it would be a diff story. No one good plays anymore thus there is nothing left to prove.
Post by: Saleen on January 17, 2004 12:25 am CST
i dont play anything other than trpg, and i rarely play that..
im calling you weak for 2 reasons:
for 1, you sit there and talk about tribes like it was your pride and joy yet you get annoyed when someone asks you to duel them.. thats may not be weak, but its un-needed banter. you could have just said no thanks..
for 2, you flat out said you were a better person than i am. there you go with your generalizations again.. you dont even know me, yet your a better person than me? please.. you sound like a child trying to act like an adult. drop the "im better than the world" attitude and then talk to me..

Ahhh thats the funniest thing i read all day, ill have to post this on TW i think hahaha....
Sad fact, all the best players left, i guess you never heard the experession "nothing left to prove" Most of the greatest tribes clans that existed retired with that very statement. Im sure [IE], |5150|, S3, i$, [TTM], =V=... hell even -w- (wolfpack) dont ring a bell to you do they? These were truely some of the greatest clans in history. If you check their roasters, youll notice, that the majority of them quit even before i did.
Everyone that plays now, either just plays for fun, or are just a buncha wannabes. There is no comparison, tribes today is a pathetic shamble of what it once was in its prime 3 years ago. I remember when there were well over 100 clans on TWL 10-10 CTF ladder, back then being top 10 ment something, now, being #1 dosnt even mean anything.

Gameplay is what makes games better than others. Its what makes people perfer quake 3 over ut2k3. Has nothing to do with gfx, stability, ect ect.
Anyway... I would say that stability has a lot to do with gameplay. Some bugs enhance gameplay where other bugs make game play tedious.

Ye told people to use jump.cs!
Before that forking thing came out I could out ski anyone in any armor.... now it's just sorry how much I cannot keep up with some damn script kiddie bullmalarkey. Went from Capper to spamming offense in less than a week thanks to the treasured "jump.cs" and defense setting packs!
I played back when being good actually mattered. I used to have high scores in any base or ren classic server I played in. I used to cap like a mofo. I got in to a top 10 renClassic clan when there were more than 120 renclassic teams on the ladder and when tribes was less than 2 years old. I got in to that clan in my second week of playing tribes! After jump.cs wiped out my capping job I switched to defense setting and was a master at that (either base or ren classic) as I was able to make up stuff quicker than anyone else. BAMMOOO, an other script for all the kiddies comes out! The drop-pack, the poop-pack, the watever-the-hell-pack. I lose my defense job and become the lowly Offense spammer because I refuse to use the scripts that clearly even the playing field and take away a lot of the speed and skill involved with game play. I used to doo all this malarkey, right?
Don't you realise that it doesn't matter any more? Why even mention the past if it means nothing any more? Why mention you are "the best" if we have no way to verify that because just about none of us knew who you were back then?
Nobody knows who I am and near nobody knows who you are!
What is the point?
Should I dig up all the old clan members I used to be with back before jump.cs and droppacks were EveryWhere just to proove some bullmalarkey that no longer matters?
fork no!
Here:
Post that you found it charming in an extreem competition way. Post that you were with some of the most compedative matches and the feelings they gave you were very unique and addictive.
Quit your forking unsavory woman-ass crying about how "the best" you were. We don't want to hear your arrogant bullmalarkey any more! End of story!
Oh... and I am NOT waiting for your "witty" retort so don't bother posting it as it won't be read!
Post by: Quaduce on January 17, 2004 03:04 am CST
Anyway, simply put, its hard for me to forget how tribes was back in its prime 3 years ago. couple years from now when i look back at tribes, i remember it as it was back then, not as it is now.

And yes, SOME of the good players are still left. But do they even compete anymore? There are VERY few people left that are still competing, its mostly the old low ranking clans finaly seeing thier chance to move up on the ladder now that the compeition died.
I measure my tribes skill in competiton terms, you measure them by the newbs you beat that regular on pubs. There is a BIG difference.
Full of myself? I didnt start this, you started it with you "beating me at duel or CTF" then later you said you mostly played trpg. Sounds to me like all talk right there
I simply stated that i doubt anyone here has played competativly on base besides myself.

this whole thing started as a joke from me but you blew it into an argument when i made a friendly challenge. you can say what you want, i dont care.. there is still a good bit of competition, but thats not the point. i dont beat "newbs" i beat people like you who talk big and cant back it up.
i know what you simply stated, and i simply stated that you were wrong (wrong in your doubt that no one here had played base competitively). your the one who blew it into an argument. so lets argue some more about stupid stuff on a forum so we can try and make ourselves look smarter than eachother.

I still don't get the big deal about competition. Who cares who is better in a game on the internet. :roll:
I found competition to be fun. Playing to be good at the game. Being high ranked on diff ladders and being wanted in some of the top clans. Having factual information as to who you are better than. Not just "hey i own people on pubs and i my mom says im leet" like most mouthy newbs like to think.
Matchs/scrims and even pickups are MUCH more fun than any pub, where you have random idiots that dont know wtf they are doing playing.
