Conference Thoughts/Comments.

Validuz is a bitch end thread

lol

It is available for download. go check it out

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.


Well that and other indications is all we have to go by. Do you expect to sit back and not whine like little children when we hear these things? :p

Just be nice and calm our ph34rs.

Insufficient evidence? I just fucking watched him play it. I don't need to play it RIGHT THERE to SEE the physics.

The max time he was on the ground was less that a second. How are we supposed to get an accurate idea from that?

Hmmmm...

... AND? Does it fucking look like I was talking about skiing physics in the first quote? Nice try... taking two different posts about two different subjects and trying to be clever smartass. One problem though, you forgot to actually READ the posts... and see that one was about the jet being "overpowered" (it's initial boost), and the other about skiing.

Yes! I am dumb because I believe bitching and moaning about balance on a pre-alpha press conference video is futile!

Wonderful logic!What's wonderful logic, is brown-nosing cocksuckers like you sitting around, flaming and mocking people for making comments on the CURRENT physics/subject, instead of forming your own opinion (or commenting on ours).

What do you think the conference was for, exactly? You think they went through all that, just to show off the flowers "sway" on the terrain, or the football-shaped object used in the new "TR"?

No one is saying "OMFG OMFG OMFG, THE GAME IS FUCKING RUINED!!! FUCKIGN IRRATIONAL HAS SCREWEED US OVERR!!!!!!!! THERES NO TURNING BACK NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

All people are saying is their likes and dis-likes. I personally DON'T like the "powerful initial jet", nor the air control... and I'd like to see some skiing in one of these newer videos. I still have a lot of faith in Sierra/Irrational to make the game great, but I (YEA THATS RIGHT "I", doesnt mean you have to agree) feel I must voice my likes/dislikes with the information they give us. I(there it is again), don't give a shit if you don't like my opinion.

You're too busy trying to suck up to realize you're being an idiot for bashing on people/posts for their opinions/ideas.

stop derailing the thread please..

my god val just be quiet and take some xanax

The fact is, you can't conclude shit about shit, cause you don't know shit.

So eat shit.

Watch KP ski on the map with the giant city. And keep in mind, you're watching KP ski, someone who knows whats up. Compare KP with Ed... Yeah. Ed wasn't skiing (well) and you can really see the difference when an experienced player (KP) makes when he takes over.

I watched the video again, I thought the jets looked alittle powerful but watch his energy bar when he jets, it goes down fast. For the amount of energy he used the jetting didnt look to be extremely powerful. But I'd need to play the game to be sure.

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.

Medium is the default armor now? Thats very interesting. I like that. Of course if that had been the case in Tribes newbs would never have survived... but if it is a stated objective to have the medium be the default choice then that says good things about the team's objectives regarding armor balancing.

As to the other question, I figured as much. You've ducked it every other time I've asked it. :p Seriously though, I understand why. I'll just keep bringing it up every six weeks or so until you guys either feel like you've got an firm answer or until we're in beta and the answer becomes apparent.

The jets are great imo.. like they mentioned, tribes is 'fast,' but it needs to be 'quicker.' The jets may seem powerful, but you pay for that power/quickness with a faster energy drain. That's what it seemed like to me.. I dunno, everyone has their own impressions.

How about letting users pick their "drain rate," like they pick mouse sensitivity?

... :retard:

Who knows!? Maybe their system of movement is > *

I can't wait to get my hands on beta to find out but movement didn't look cheap it looked manueverable in which is just freaking fine to me. Skiing is pertinent but how you ski, what's the difference as long as you making good ground or more so by the movement system they have now.

It's plain to see in the conferance KP having an over all advantage over the other guy in movement. Any nub learning the spacebar to ski is going to have a problem trying to get the feel anyway. Their first reaction will probably be to hit it constantly since it's a jump button function in most other fps's.

I'm not going to knock it yet. If they're listening to KP either he's under azn terrorist like oppresion to agree with the devs or he'd tell us it sucked.

I bet a lot of new players will try putting jump on mouse2 and jet somewhere on the keyboard.(I'm sure there are vets that do it like that too, but it just seems wierd to me..:p)

lol

Some funky configurations out there ;)

I know a bunch of people who use right mouse to run forward.
