MP Demo Delay

While you're at it, fix this too:

Seriously though...who the hell tested that? I mean, I'd never think about "ono, what if in two months someone installs the game and uninstalls the demo!? Let's test that!".

people who get paid to test it and think of stupid ways stupid people can mess things up.

If you want to buy a game in which competition is a joke, by all means.

I expect nothing less than a fully functioning tourney mode, preferably with a non-seizure-inducing demo recording/playback feature. If the demo released doesn't have that, but they stopped to fix a non-critical CD-KEY ISSUE, well, that's just stupid.

You didn't answer the question.

You said they BETTER have done something your way.

I'm asking or else what CHUMP

Why couldnt you have released a 0 day patch (which will probably happen anyway) to fix this?

Isn't that rather evident? :P

in a week everyone will forget all about this DEMO stuff.

A bit grumpy today Monkey? :p

heh, watch there be no demo until after the release...

marketing ploy?

strangely enough the demos have been playing back fine for me. The only problem is you cant see the cap score.

Tourney mode is a nice, but not critical feature. The shipping game not running at all is critical.

Tourney mode very important.


EDIT: That scares me now I realize you are with Irrational and you said that.

nah

just trollin a bit

wulfen foiled my plans though since he is so calm :(

People can't add cd-key info after install if they have to?

I just can't believe that this is that big a deal.

Dude, multiplayer doesn't work without a cd-key.

I'll repeat that.

Multiplayer, in tribes, an online centric game, doesn't work.

Yes, that's worth delaying a stupid demo. Name a dev who would knowingly release software that will break the final product, and ill give you the name of a bad developer.

WTF NO TOURNEY MODE...THE TRIBES COMMUNITY < *

I think he means like in Q3 you can change/edit your cd key in game.


Although I still support them fixing this before release, rather than putting a bandaid on it.

Well obviously that's not an option here, and the game is gold, what do you want them to do? Release a mandatory at release patch that adds that option in when they could have simply fixed the demo in the first place? That's putting instant gratification above what's practical.

Hello Tribes 2!

like I said, just stating what I think he meant.
