Conference Thoughts/Comments.

I'll try and talk some mappers into making one. May not be about diamond sword though... Depends on how I figure the storyline out.
I think sir lucius has been working on some DS models, there's a thread around here somewhere about it.

- I didnt see any "pod" action.

- No skiing that I saw

- Grenade launcher with green blobs

- KP mentioning that you can move in air without jets

- Saw new teamrabbit/ball gametype
-Pod looks cool, I'd like to see it in action though

-I was pissed off we seen no routes or disc jumping... all I saw was gay UT2k3 up and down, bunny-hop action, with EXTREMELY over-powered jets (with little total energy)

-I thought the green blobs was the new mortar from that heavy?

-Strafing/moving in the air without holding jet = totally fucking newbie

-New gametype looks like it'll please TR1/2ers ;)

-I was pissed off we seen no routes or disc jumping... all I saw was gay UT2k3 up and down, bunny-hop action, with EXTREMELY over-powered jets (with little total energy)yeah, the jets seemed a good deal more powerful, but i think it might be fun that way.-Strafing/moving in the air without holding jet = totally fucking newbieread the rest of the thread... or more specifically this:for those worried about the glide, here are 3 facts:

1. it is *extremely* subtle, you can't do crazy sudden direction changes with it... it just adds a little bit of precision to jetpack control

2. it doesnt in any way remove the penalty for running out of energy. if you run out of energy you plumet to the ground. full stop. gliding a tiny amount while plummeting to the ground isnt going to help anyone :)

3. as with everything in the movement system, it can be fully tweaked by the deisgners on the fly. i expect its something that we will tweak the hell out of as we approach shippin time, but its already pretty good imo.

the 5 minutes I saw...(decided I would catch the whole thing tomorrow) looked fucking awesome. He was flying soooo fast and his control was awesome.
Fling :DIf "flying so fast", you mean.. his jets were extremely over-powered... I agree.

Thnaks, Bistromatic. I admit.. I haven't read the whole thread yet :P (doing it now)

From the IGN article:IGN needs to stop inventing things too. The HUD Radar/Map is all that many players will need, but there will most likely still be a CC in addition.

IGN Gaming:Why report the news when we can make it better!?!

i cant get over the fact that people are claiming the game is imbalanced from a press video :lol:


When did TT turn into a game of "Jump to Conclusions"?

And that brings up an accessory question: You're normally in medium eh? Is that because you're just testing medium lots or because it's really that much more useful right now?Default is Medium, which feels much lighter than previous medium, but heavier than previous light. I also haven't dialed in disk jumping yet (that perfect DJ where you give yourself the good boost without shooting off in slightly the wrong direction, doing to much damage, or shooting too far behind yourself and doing nothing useful. I would imagine that sitting down and spending 4 hours just skiing around would fix most of that, but when I'm looking at maps I spend most of my time walking up to things and looking at them very closely, then the next thing, etc... So, no skills for me at the moment.

I'm going to duck your other question simply because I can't give you concrete information on that right now. We're not going to ship a ton of game types, but we are working on more than we'll ship. Those that are the most fun will go, those that fall behind will be put on the short bus and sent to a special school in Tazmania with Beren.

-I love Julia's runspeed

-I love the "feel" I saw in the heavy

-I love the maps

-I love the buildings

-I loved KP's sking on that last map.

-I love blowing the dev's cocks
Where in the hell did you see any skiing? All I saw was jetting... and the occasional "touch" on the ground, before he jetted back up.

When did TT turn into a game of "Jump to Conclusions"?You know what I can't believe.. is that you are so dumb, you have to actually PLAY the game, to realize something isn't right, instead of just watching a video.. OF SOMEONE PLAYING IT IN FRONT OF YOU.

Wow. Now that's amazing.

Wow. Now that's amazing.Actually, you're the one who's incredibly off base and making wild accusations based on insufficient evidence. You're just plain wrong in most of the things you said in the thread, so (were I you) I wouldn't go off blasting others for commenting on it.

Insufficient evidence? I just fucking watched him play it. I don't need to play it RIGHT THERE to SEE the physics. I've watched it and all the other videos. The jet boost you up in the air 50+ meters, like a fucking rocket. Hell, even KP said it... so how is that a "wild accusation"? How is that anything like T1/T2? (and yes, I know the game is supposed to be different, but aren't you guys supposed to be sticking to the TRIBES theme, SOMEWHAT?)

And if you don't like people making comments on the physics, why don't you guys show a video of someone ACTUALLY SKIING (ya know, that THING we do in T1/T2... ski). The only thing we've seen so far, is that one "night" video... and it just backed up the comments about the air-control looking newbified.

I don't understand how you can call what he did on Utopia anything but skiing. I'm not sure how you ski, but I usually don't stay on the ground for more than a few seconds before I'm at the next upslope.

The only thing that is going to convince you in your current attitude is an xtreme ski map because you obviously don't have the intuitive skills to look beyond your own incorrect opinion.

The max time he was on the ground was less that a second. How are we supposed to get an accurate idea from that? And top of that... many time when he was on the ground, he was jetting to keep his speed up.

What the hell were you watching? Go watch KP play on utopia again.

You know what I can't believe.. is that you are so dumb,
Yes! I am dumb because I believe bitching and moaning about balance on a pre-alpha press conference video is futile!

Wonderful logic!

As far as I know... I saw it all, unless something happened to my feed, which I don't know how that's possible since I was on ts2 talking with people about it as it was playing. But I guess I'll watch it again... the possibility of me missing something is evident.

Did they say, that there's going to be another airing Sunday?
