Everything is looking pretty good I must say even at this early stage. Player models are surprisingly good! The only thing that I found especially strange is the positioning of the player's weapon in 1st person view. I'd like to see it more off to the side so as not to obscure the front on view as much as it currently is.
Arcanox, tell the Tribal Wars team good job so far and to keep up the great work!
This is slightly where I'm torn. I actually set it up more to the center intentionally based off some of the feedback from T1 veterans. The main reason I did it is because many vets use the female model for two reasons. The obvious one would be the smaller hitbox for the female versions of the armor, but they also liked the placement of the weapon a bit more to the middle. Some people claimed that it made it a bit easier to judge where your disc was going to go and it made it a bit easer to get MA's
I might make a poll on this sometime in the future, but it's an easy fix to offset my weapon animations by a few units. Does anyone else think it needs to be changed?
BTW... Were the players ridiculously skilled players or are MA's currently a little too easy?
Two things, the majority of the video was me beating up on a bunch of people who have never tried Tribes before. They were moving pretty slowly or doing a complete hover at the time, so they were fairly easy targets.
The other thing that I did was increase the size of the hit boxes for the projectiles so it makes it a little easier to score hits with all of the weapons. The size is a little bit too big, but I'm leaving them as is so I can get a better assessment of the flow of combat, and adjust damage values for balance purposes. When we progress through many more builds and feel comfortable with the values for the speed and damage values for the weapons, the size of the hit boxes will get smaller.
Looks fucking awesome. I'll have to pick up QW now.

It seems like it stirs quite a lot of interest from even those who've never played Tribes. That, and tons of ETQW players came from or have at least play T1 or T2.
Hit boxes for female and male light armor in T1 are the same.
