feels more like T1 than anything else.. xcept for the loadouts, speed cap and the health thing

if you are a tribes fan id say its worth putting up with the bullshit - the game is pretty fun, it will give you the tribes rush for sure

also, we may be able to get them to add "classic" servers or something later

Captain, what about the feel overall? Did they nail that at least? I'm reading that they got the feel of the original down quite well and that it just needs some tweaks.

I think you somehow missed the trick to that post.

True, my sarcasm detector must have been broken or something. Or maybe my rage about Hi-Rez's design choices simply overrode it.

Have they actually notified all the participants yet? friend of mine wants in this so badly that he asked me to sign up for a spot in the beta in case his own doesn't get in.

but wouldnt it suck if health fully regenerated after you didnt get hit for a little while, even in the middle of combat, etc. and it would also really suck if they decided inv stations didnt heal you, or if you couldnt heal while holding the flag.. that would suck if they did that

I assume you're being sarcastic because that's pretty much exactly how health works in T:A.

So, uh... No Scarabrae?

i guess technically 12am tonight, but i suppose we could talk about it theoretically

wouldnt it be cool if they brought back one-hit melee kills? i thought that was appropriate in tribes since everyone is almost always moving so fast

seems like a speed cap would suck balls but having one is more in line with the actual laws of physics, so who knows about that, but jetpack regen rate is crucial and it would be really cool if they listened to people and fixed it when everyone agreed it was shitty

it would also be cool if they got the spinfusor totally right-on in speed and (splash or direct) damage, because that is like the key weapon

ive heard the classes determine the kinds of weapons you can use, from a fairly short list on each one.. and that would be really irritating to someone like me who wants everything to be customizable.. at the same time having skills and perks might be cool for that, like having the option to equip a couple of those to make dude a bit more specialized

i saw some vids of some maps and some are pretty good while others are wacky looking with the terrain lods being really glitchy, and all the ones i saw were sorta small to mid-sized rather than huge

Captain, wheres your thoughts on the beta? The NDA is off now, correct?

Guess i'll be the first.. Can't wait for friday to see what they have changed since the alpha.. Hopefully for the better!
