pocketgamer said:We write up a proposal of how we are going to screw them, and what we want it Tribes brand, T2 Source .. .. and whatever else you guys can think of.
dr_boom said:I want:
T1/T2C physics, enhanced T2 command screen, T2 inventory system and
every gametype, every weapon, every vehicle, every pack, and every deployable from all the tribes games.
All wrapped in a beautiful looking engine that can:
Replicate the above mentioned physics
Support large team battles
Allow server admins to turn on or off any weapon, any vehicle, any pack, and any deployable. (Let the community decide what works for comp or pub...the community is too fragmented to unite on this anyway...and you'll turn less away from the sales counter)
Attract a healthy modding community
Man, the Tribes series has had much of its pioneering elements borrowed from to produce many successful games. It needs to be re-released on gamers in its entirety. Throw in everything including the toilet and market it that way. Tell em the mother of all team online fps has returned and she's gonna let you customize her to your liking.
You want T1 style only play?......you can have it
You want T2 style with vehicles?....you can have that too
You want shocklance only CnH with just heavies?....yep even that
Vir said:The plan is for Dread to buy the rights to the series then install slut and myself as co-producers of the next game of course. You don't think the discontinuation of support for T:V was sheer coincidence do you?
Wow.Marweas said:With the recent news that VUG has discontinued work on the Vengeance patch and will not release it, the TRIBES community is left holding the bag. We have another lackluster Tribes game that hints at the promise of TRIBES, yet fails to deliver either audience or satisfaction.
Before we get to what to do next, let’s lay out some baseline facts. VUG owns the TRIBES IP outright. It will have no plans for current support, let alone further TRIBES products. The corporate plan will be to price protect the product all the way down to the bargain bin, make whatever few dollars they can off direct downloads. The remaining income from the TRIBES brand until the end of the life cycle plus any future licensing potential will be enough for them to protect their interest in it.
TribalWar will have nothing further to do with TRIBES except as a fan site helping them squeeze the last few nickels out of the franchise. No petitions, no stunts, and no pleas to gaming press are going to change any of these facts.
So how do we move on?
Well, the obvious reaction, the primal TW response is revenge. We do have the power to utterly nullify the TRIBES brand value, even turn it into a liability for VUG. We can cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars, and without breaking any laws. We can make sure no game with that name sells at retail for the next 5 years or so, probably much longer. We can cause bigwigs heartache and middle managers to squirm.
But first we must consider the consequences. The actions such as the ones I would suggest will have one of two results. Either VUG will shut the game down completely, happy to wash their hands of this disaster completely with the cash from WoW and HL2. Else, VUG will bother to ask what the hell we want before shutting the game down completely, happy to wash their hands of this disaster completely with the cash from WoW and HL2. And I mean right down to the master servers.
Are we ready for that? I don’t think so. But I'd hear what you think.
Do you consider TRIBES so dead that you would want to ruin it to get a last shot at VUG??? And if by some chance VUG did give us their attention instead, what is it we want???

mr_luc said:Wow.
Just . . . wow.
This is just . . . wow.
The former Brand Manager for the Tribes franchise comes onto Tribalwar and actively plots to destroy the Tribes brand.
Ordos said:How much more "Destroying" do you need after VUG shot it in the head, dragged its corpse 3000 miles coast to coast through rugged terrain and then lit it on fire with gasoline
slut said:We have some great ideas for Tribes 3

TseTse said:MAYBE IF HE DID HIS JOB INSTEAD OF WHORING TRIBALWAR AND FLAMING FANS... he'd still have his job and maybe have figured out that the design was flawed. 43,000 copies. the fuckin box art aint the fuckin problem here, folks.
but yes... lets go on flaming "VUG" without holding marweas or thrax responsible in ANY way...
