tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock........

i'm afraid to say, but i think they'll say something...even if it isnt when it'll be released, but we deserve to know whats coming from the patch, and i think they understand that. no1 can really tell though... :emo:

Reading the recent update about 2845, I can only think we're going to get bad news.

i concur...i think the 2845 people may have heard/know something we didn't/don't.

Even if they come out with some fantastic patch that fixes everything we want in some fel swoop, I am not going to forgive them. It really wouldn't be that hard to give us a change log or a weekly update, even if the update consisted of "Oh hey".

Pachacutec · Feb 16, 2005

They have absolutely the worst pr campaign I have been forced to go through.
Only developer intiative is what we got, and even that was curtailed.

I'm loyal to Tribes, not VUgames. I'm thinking this is probably the last product I buy from them, except for future purchases through Steam.

If they cancel the patch im done with T:V.

I'd be guessing you won't be alone there.....not to mention the people who were waiting for the patch to "have a look at it again" will now never re-appear.

absolutely. while i definitely like the game, i wont continue to play against 2 other teams on the ladder with 2 active servers and 50 empty ones.

the premise that even got it this far has been, "the patch is coming"

VektorX · Feb 16, 2005

I might reinstall T:V if a patch comes out, but I doubt it.

common pach, where's your usual enthusiasm

groov · Feb 16, 2005

my prediction for guy.welch's 'annoucement':

'there was never any patch- apparently the patch info was 'bad intelligence'

Hellsfury · Feb 16, 2005

I wouldn't panic just yet. The StarSiege update doesn't actually comment on what the patch news is, good or bad. It just states what was obvious from the get go, the sheer size and scale of what they wanted to accomplish isn't going to be possible using T:V's design, regardless of a patch now or ever. They wanted a full scale war mod with Tanks, Aircraft, HERCs and Infantry played out in a large scale world and that just isn't going to happen using a game engine that only supports 16 players per side at most.

The news of T:V is still out there waiting... good or bad. Don't scuttle the ship just yet.

Still, would you want to continue trying to make peace between two bickering 3rd parties to patch a game that probably won't sell a significant amount more copies?

"It gives me great pleasure to announce that, going forward from today, Clancore will be joining the ranks of developers working with Garage Games and their upcoming Torque Shader Engine in making Starsiege:2845 a full fledged stand alone game project, and it will no longer be a MOD for Tribes:Vengeance."

This is a GREAT managerial decision on Clancore's part, glad to see they have the intelligence and balls to use the correct engine and development team for a Tribes Titled game.

SS:2845 was T:V's last hope ... T:V is done ...

MasterGnr · Feb 16, 2005

the announcement will be that SS2845 is going to use TSE, and not T:V

and we will yell a very loud OFN

synthix ghost · Feb 17, 2005

I am still an optimist. I'll still be playing T:V, even if the patch doesn't come out. That OFN shout sounds like a great idea though.

Got Haggis? · Feb 17, 2005

they will probably wait until friday to make the annoucement, right before he leaves for the weekend so he doesnt have to deal with us for a few days (if its bad news)

mc-fine · Feb 17, 2005

they are even going to miss the news about the patch deadline...
