HiRez to re support Tribes Ascend due to sucess with Smite - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;48567398]The only ballistic weapon in T2 was the chaingun and it was more of a back-up gun because it wasn't an ultra-accurate, rapid-firing stream of bullets. You had to actually be close and I mean real close for it to be worth dick.[/QUOTE] Then you don't know how to use it. The T2C chaingun is on par with Ascend's ARs, probably better because of the increased projectile speed (750 m/s!) and lack of reloading. The cone isn't very big, you can still kill as fast as possible within like 50m with good aim. T1/T2 chain being weak is a fabrication.

[QUOTE=DogGunn;48573040]Their launcher sucks. I tried to launch Tribes using the HiRez launcher, and it seems to have downloaded Paladins. I'm not even joking. I have no idea what the fuck happened.

Honestly they fucked up and ruined their image way back, even if they fixed most of that the audience would still be wary of coming back. I've heard here and there that the changes weren't that drastic (speedcap was for flag-carriers only, guns are buyable rather than rentable, etc) but with the audience Tribes has I think it would've been better to push their pay-to-play model with the GOTY. $30 gets you the game forever, all guns unlocked, etc etc.

This helps but i am still pissed with how they abandoned GA.

Question is Tribes Universe when?

[QUOTE=KennyAwsum;48580705]This helps but i am still pissed with how they abandoned GA.[/QUOTE] Thing is last time I played it I quite enjoyed but don't remember why I didn't play it for too long

Tribes seems fun to me but I was reluctant to get it because it was abandoned. Maybe now I'll pick it up.

[QUOTE=_Pai;48581966]Tribes seems fun to me but I was reluctant to get it because it was abandoned. Maybe now I'll pick it up.[/QUOTE] Well it's free so w/e you may as well give it a shot.

What's annoying about Tribes is that if you lose connection, the game crashes, even in offline practice.

I never played Tribes when it was popular, this might finally be a chance to experience it

[QUOTE=finbe;48565266][video] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83nSRUQUWx0[/url] [/video] Yeah I don't care that they left tribes, I do care that this is how they treated it while they had it.[/QUOTE] ...is this guy thinking he is hacking because he turned around to check behind him?

I'm not sure if my heart is ready for this if it briefly flares then dies again.

What did they do to piss this many people off? I've always heard that they did something but noone's ever said WHAT they did.

[QUOTE=FlandersNed;48598484]What did they do to piss this many people off? I've always heard that they did something but noone's ever said WHAT they did.[/QUOTE] They stopped supporting a game that had just blown up after like a month in favor of a MOBA, and left it in an unbalanced state.

[QUOTE=Grandzeit;48598507]They stopped supporting a game that had just blown up after like a month in favor of a MOBA, and left it in an unbalanced state.[/QUOTE] (You people make me look like a shill. I'm almost sure I even replied to you on this before.) That's not what happend. The game was simply not profitable (people forgets that companies exist just to make money, and that burning money on something you know will never pay off is less than desirable for one.). They tried to turn a game that is well known for not being "casual friendly" into a F2P game, that coupled with them trying to please both veterans and newcomers and this being their second game, it ended up pretty badly for it and no changes could really fix it. They eventually salvaged the game with things like the GOTY pack and dropped support up until now, when they have the resouces to actually fix the mess, or at least try. Smite was simply the next game they choose to work on, that (for the dismay of several upset individuals) just happend to not follow the tradition. People will have to stop using Smite to cope sooner or later, its success is one of the reasons why the game is being revisited and revisioned (not to mention it was the only thing that keept its servers online). Plus it'd be healtier for them: intentionally ignoring facts and reality, and telling yourself things to justify hatred over whatever topic or matter isn't good for anyone.

Of course when people saw they were developing a moba next people lost their shit even though smite was a good game and was needed for hirez to function. Combine this with purists who exploded when they saw weapons class locked and hitscan weapons in the game you can see why alot of people are bitter.

I can understand people assuming things at the time, but its been over 3 years and people are still telling themselves things like "Smite killed tribes" or "They made a quick profit then dropped it" (because dropping something profitable when it was your only one is a good and reasonable idea.), it's almost as bad as the people who still wish to see Smite dead, even with the partnerships, the world championships and the console ports being a thing.
