VUG's answer on the patch cancelation
- Thread starter NextGen
- Start date
I still like T:V. And now I play again daily because it is still alot of fun to go on and play with a few friends. Now everyone who even plays T:V is so defeatist, they just don't really want to try and do anything with it.
I've been messing around with T:V in an attempt to make it more in line with Tribes/T2 with respect to movement. In T:V there is alot of upward thrust, so when you jet even straight forward you go mostly up and then forward. In T2 you can lift like...half a foot off the ground and go straight forward if you want to. So far i've found a pretty good combination of weight vs thrust to create such an effect, but now I feel noone cares, which sucks. I'll put it into mutator form sometime.

cool. You should. Every now and then I feel like chucking this mutator code I have been working on but i can't seem to stop playing....denial maybe..who knows.
Yah, I think your're right, but still the state of the game was not acceptable for release. I remember after the breakup of Dynamix that there were rumors about Sierra rushing the release for better looking quarter sales figures. In any case, what's done is done and Tribes is not likely to continue on.Amadeus said:

In 20 years they will make a new Tribes game just because the companies will have used up all the other gaming "ideas" that they have wasted away.
WoW i don't know how they did manage to scrap a name like tribes!! of course they did work on it for a couple of months......that's simply what happens when the quantitative factor takes over!to busy working on some crap like swat and such. I still play TV often because the speed is awsome and it requires a lot of skills(which is rare)it's the fastest game on the market; but i do think that theres nothing to to in the damn game except building up ur skills. I think that the worst mistake that Vugames made was to waste time and money on a single player that in fact nobody cares...
Also the learning curve(online) is too sick for newcomers(when u play like a renegade that is) which is great but...scares the hell out of the poor newblood!!online i'm a teacher and a mentor for many; not shy on telling tips about aiming and grapple tricks(i don't wait for them to get discouraged) but we must accept that will never be more than 200 peeps online.....instead of spiting at the face of the conceptors we must try to understand why some fuckards are still playing starsiege and T2!?!?!?!?!?just fucking why... what is going on in their puny brains????????they think no sachel charge, not enouph vehicles, not enouph weapons, small crappy bases....yes yes but SOOOO FUCKING WHAT!!!

i try to provoke people so they come in TV to whip my ass!! that's all; if TV is dead then why the fuck are you still posting and coming to TW??? nothing new is happening 4 a while. looking 4 some starsiege 2845 news?!? i don't think so man! or maybe to spit on poor newbies like me who only wish there was more people online instead of dwelling in the fucking past....

Nobody is arguing with you about that. The fact is that most people do not like T:V. That's why there is such a small playerbase. And since VUG canceled all support for the game, nothing is going to get better.
Hell, I don't even see local retailers selling T:V anymore.

That was caused by VUG's backstabbing of the tribes community. The assholishness here is a reaction to that.
