If you played in a pickup with decent players you'd get your silly little noob ass fucking dominated. Sit the fuck down Mr. I can ma nubs on day 1.
People got Mid airs in the first half hour of testing legions, and we all sucked a fat one.
Some amazing logic IN DIS HERE THREAD.

Tribes didn't have tons of unnecessary keys. Down jetting is in fact completely retarded. It's an extra key you have to worry about in order to go fast. That's part of the definition of tedious: extra bullshit to accomplish the same task. The way the ski/jump/jet controls are arranged is also tedious. We already mastered one way, and simply changing it doesn't make it "hard", it makes it fucking stupid. No one with a mind of their own wants to waste time getting used to the new configuration just to do the same damn thing. And with the way they have it designed, you can't just change the controls to have it work the same as before as you could in T:V. With Tribes, for the most part if you stop paying attention to your movement, you keep moving as you just were unless you hit the ground and don't ski. In Legions, you pretty much slow to a stop in a second. Having to pay more attention and worry about more things to accomplish the same tasks = "tedious". Not "difficult".
Nobody? I played in a pub last night with 3 people from TW.
Why can't you accept the fact that you are talking about shit that you have zero knowledge of. And instead of addressing that, you revert back to LOL BLITZ ISN'T IN THE COOL CLUB.
You are an idiot, and don't know what your talking about, yet you insist on arguing elements of legions gameplay, when again, clearly you have no idea what your talking about.
LOL ZOMG SUPER HIGH SPEED DIRECTIONAL CHANGES.
right.
fyi <--playing legions and "someone"
why do you care who plays legions if you dont want to play? people like blitz only care because they enjoy the game and more people playing means more players to play against. your (and nofix's etc) strong motivations to keep talking shit elude me..

fuck more people played isketch from teedub last night
QFT.
People always said T:V was such a failure, and to many of you it was. That is fine, but since I enjoyed tribes and each game for what it was I played them all. And while everyone was calling T:V a failure and 5150 dropped the ladder, I kept playing for a good 2+ years after that, still had bi weekly pickups and matches every other week, TWL had an active LT ladder for quite some time, and the CTF ladder saw activity for quite a while after that. Also the blood eagle mini league had quite a bit of 'decent' healthy competition for a long time as well. I enjoyed and played the game with *GASP* the same amount of activity that the other Tribes games had INCLUDING T1 (when comparing base T1 to T:V)
So again, do I think it will have 10k players for years probably not, but will it have enough players to have decent pubs nightly , pickups, and at some point healthy competition for a while? yes it will, and I'll be there through it all while you guys are playing gay faggot games like counterstrike and battlefield 3.
one extra key is not the same as tons of extra keys first of all...
i personally have gotten to the point where its second nature to me to jet down when necessary. i dont spend significant extra effort thinking about it while playing. if you wanna keep moving just hold down ski like you would in tribes? o and you can switch two keys by hitting esc>keybindings to make it the same as tribes (with the addition of those tons of down jet keys of course)
edit: yet again i dont see the downjet as tedious. it adds extra freedom of movement which is the whole point of fps+z

You know, you could probably pretend the key isn't there. From what other people have said, simply using up-jet works find but I wouldn't mind an extra down-jet key just in case I need it.
But then again, maybe down-jet is a lot more important than I think.
Eh. Newcomers have actually found it pretty intuitive. Most non-Tribes-vets are using defaults. That said, the first thing I did when I started playing was switch it over to a more Tribesesque control scheme.
To each their own. For the old vets, rebinding the controls is readily accessible, so I can't see the huge problem.
As far as downjet goes... it can be used to come in at the flag at absurdly difficult angles to detect/defend against. I've used it in combat when I'm playing against somebody good enough to pull off an MA with decent consistency if I don't consciously dodge. It has its place in Legions.
Both of those are among the things I'd consider bitching and moaning, not actual things that need to be addressed. I have no problem responding to stuff like this in the interlude between now and better physics/new content.

Let's be a bit more realistic here. T:V didn't have nearly the same amount of activity T1 or T2 had.

You need to work on some reading comprehension.
you are still avoiding the fact that I called you out for talking out of your ass. Your holding a stance in an argument with zero validity and reverting back to LOL NOBODY PLAYS instead of actually addressing the point.
Considering there are a ton of people smurfing on TW, like the noob I was referring to last night I have no idea how many people from TW are actually playing it, but I know quite a few that post here and play in both the pickups and pubs.

I've played legions before. If people had to play literally 2,000 hours of a computer game (like you have with legions) to review it then there would be NO reviews.
I gave it plenty of time. I was excited going in and I wanted it to rock. It's a terrible fucking game that will never have the smallest amount of success.
the only question is how epic it's failure will be.
how can you say you gave it plenty of time when you clearly dont understand it? (you know, like how you dont understand OD vs. rocket jumping) ive played for a total of like 30-40 hours over the last month since being let in beta and i somehow seem to have understood much more after my first week.

The problem is I don't fucking care what the gameplay of Legions is like. As I said in my discussion with Rampancy, Tribes is dead to me, and that includes all games similar to it. I might still play Tribes occasionally just because I've already mastered it and can play it effectively without any practice for months, but there's no fucking way I'm going to waste time getting used to a game that's only different in ways that make it worse.
