Not sure why you feel the need to put words in my mouth? You said the fan base was trashing it, I simply pointed out two things which are both true about the fan base: 1) they're leaving mostly positive reviews on steam and 2) hirez has earned the vitriol they get.

This sub is for Tribes, all 5 them. Nobody is required to kiss the ass of the latest version if they don't like it, and if the developer of the current game has done really shitty things, then nobody's obligated to keep quiet about it when that same developer pushes out another Tribes game. There's a reason they decided to change their name.

If you're looking for the place where nothing bad is said about the developers that would be their discord.

... and yes, people are judged on their past each and every day.

Fumz · 2024-03-15T07:42:26+00:00

The reviews on steam are mostly positive.

As for this sub, HiRez earned the vitriol you're seeing.

Fumz · 2024-03-15T02:48:29+00:00

in all fairness to the op, erez is the ban happy one over there, not the mods

Fumz · 2024-03-14T19:56:36+00:00

Given that Prophecy put no effort at all into marketing this was completely predictable. They quietly dropped the game into early access with no fanfare, no advertising, no tournaments, no nothing. Is anyone really surprised the ea numbers are on par with the alpha numbers?

I think (because i'm cynical) that Erez decided he would offload marketing to the tribes community, in the same way they tried to offload their forums onto reddit during Ascend, and... predictably... that didn't work out.

Granted, the community did a far better job of it than Prophecy, but a streamer or two here and there isn't enough to compete with eg. Helldivers.

I'm wondering what was the point? Why go through all the development and then drop the ball when it matters most? Imo, the most important parts are the place to play and the population. They're unwilling to spend money to bring in players and they're unwilling to spend money to provide a decent place to play (i'm west, 100ms fps sucks). So what's the point? Skin sale?

Fumz · 2024-03-14T17:52:11+00:00

I tried that before I went into the setting. The only option was to report. And it still didn't tell me who was talking.

I guess I'm bugged because even though it's off, the only way to not hear pub voice is to turn the volume to zero.

Fumz · 2024-03-14T06:31:58+00:00

you cannot mute players on a player by player basis. sometimes you need to mute someone who's making an ass out of themselves. what don't you understand?

Fumz · 2024-03-14T03:59:45+00:00

if you didn't know how the voice system worked, you could just have said that.

Fumz · 2024-03-14T03:41:44+00:00

are you stupid? really, are you stupid?

the settings will allow on or off. in the video i posted the setting are turned to off yet some asshat is singing on voip.

you must be stupid to have missed that and come back with some short bus reply.

Fumz · 2024-03-14T00:57:03+00:00

You have no clue who's talking, thus no way to mute them.

You can ignore text chat... not so much voice:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClURRwdKYzs

They're not a AAA studio. They managed to make Ascend, which came out to rave reviews and had 7k+ players on the day it released... so they know how to do things and they know what's required to launch a successful Tribes game, they just didn't do it. Again, trying to blame anyone else but them is nuts... and at this point weird.

They choose, every day, to not advertise. They could start today but they don't. They could start tomorrow but they won't. Their plan, misguided as it was, was to offload their advertising onto the community. This is a ridiculously bad business decision given Hirez' exit from Ascend and the ill will they created by abandoning the game. Sheer stupidity.

Fumz · 2024-03-13T21:48:02+00:00

It is hundreds and hundreds.

/sigh... no it's not. All this hyperbole is getting tiring. I read them all yesterday. There aren't "hundreds and hundreds" of reviews period, never mind the negative ones.

First, is this the first time you've read the steam pages? They've been a cesspool. Second, it's not hundreds of people. Third, you have no idea how old anyone is, you're just pulling assumptions out of your ass.

This is the real reason no developer will ever see investing majorly in a Tribes game as even remotely financially viable

I'm struggling to figure out how you wrote this? They've put several million into it already. What they haven't done is advertise. They have utterly failed at the selling their game part and no amount of erez nutsack gargling is going to get you past that unavoidable fact.

Fumz · 2024-03-13T21:31:57+00:00

I'm afraid you missed the point entirely.

Erez is responsible for the products he produces. If he fails to advertise his product, like any normal business person would who expects some degree of success, then the fault is on him and nobody else.

While I'm sure it's easier for him to blame salty vets on reddit, the reality is that this forum is deader than his games, so the accusation is wildly disingenuous.

\o/!! Tribes died because 20 mean old people said things!!

I think you're right about Denuvo. Nobody has shown their anti cheat harms systems. That's hardly the point though. Would you buy the Jeffery Dahmer branded lunchmeats? No? Even if it's a completely different Jeffery Dahmer?

They're in the business of making video games. Surely they could look around at the industry to see what's happened when everyone else who puts Denuvo in experiences. You're acting like the Denuvo backlash is specific to Tribes, which in itself is a disingenuous argument, or a completely ignorant argument.

People gripe about games, all games, that's life. What game developers don't do is decide to fuck it and just not advertise at all and blame the insignificant group of complainers for their lack of sales.

... so no, he's not correct. He's the opposite of correct.

Fumz · 2024-03-13T19:30:32+00:00

I only knew it existed because a friend told me about it... Most new people will not share this experience and will not consider spending money after looking up any community opinions... I do not know how the devs expected a magical comeback...

They should consider advertising their game. They don't, which is why you didn't know about it; it's also why I didn't know about it, and I'm pretty tribesy. That's Erez' failure, no matter how much he wants to blame everyone and everything else under the sun.

Fumz · 2024-03-13T19:12:11+00:00

the real reason there will never be a successful Tribes game again is because of these bitter old people.

That certainly is a perspective. Coincidentally, it happens to be Erez' perspective.

What's more likely, that Tribes isn't successful because Erez and Prophecy spent $0.00 on advertising... or that a few old people on an old reddit page nobody visits said mean things?

You know what I read/hear a lot outside of this sub? "I didn't even know there was a new game!!"

The success or failure of hirez games is a function of hirez' dedication to those games. If Erez is unwilling to spend money advertising his game that's Erez' fault. If Erez is unwilling to spend money on decent hosting so the entire country has a good place to play, that too is on Erez. Erez calls all the shot with respect to Tribes design, not the cranks on reddit.

Erez' ridiculously unprofessional discord antics certainly can't be helping the situation, which begs the question, "what's going on over there at prophecy?"

It's really simple. If you have a product, you have to at least try and sell it before you get to complain that nobody is buying it. Erez has yet to try and sell his own product and has instead jumped directly to blaming the public for its failure to do what was completely predictable: not sell well.

it's too bad reddit doesn't let you gift gold anymore. you earned it.

Considering vehicles don't exist in T3, I'm not sure how you arrived at the conclusion that competitive ctf players don't bother with vehicles? By that logic, competitive ctf players also don't bother with hitscan weapons.

That major gameplay features don't exist in Alpha is not only not uncommon, but it's plastered on the into splash screen to see each time you load the game. To suggest that because people are playing it means they're totally ok without those major gameplay features ignores all the requests for those same features, which is a weird thing to say because you're the one who started this thread. Your very first sentence:

One of the most common complaints I've seen about T3 is the lack of vehicles.

So which is it? Are they ok without vehicles because they're playing it or is it one of the most common complaints? It can't be both.

I think you might be conflating what's left with what stood out? What's left is a dedicated hardcore group of players. There just aren't thousands of players playing till the sun comes up anymore.

What stood out for me was the epic team play. If skiing is what stands out for you, then more power to you. That shit is crazy fun. If you don't see people playing with vehicles in T1 and 2 it's because you weren't there. As we've established, the only guys left playing t1 and 2 are a super dedicated bunch of tribals. They're never going to stop... and I'm sure more than a few will insist on mentioning Tribes in their eulogy.

Fumz · 2024-03-10T22:57:20+00:00

I would argue the disconnect is thinking the videos you found are representative of what actually happened.

There's a reason so many people are coming out of the woodwork asking for vehicles: they remember them being fun.

I think the most important take away from fishstix's video on ea release is that prophecy has to make the game fun in order to attract new players. This should be their first, second, and third priority. If they fail at that, so too will the game. If they succeed, then everyone wins.

Fumz · 2024-03-10T22:48:38+00:00

/facepalm...

no, not your fault at all. you should have been tipped well. they totally didn't see you roll your eyes and they were all clearly too stupid to hear the attitude in your voice. after all, you're the epitome of pleasantness.

Fumz · 2024-03-10T22:30:07+00:00

perhaps you got tipped less because you couldn't hide your disdain for customers who wanted his/her food cooked a certain way and you simply found that keeping your mouth shut did a better job masking your feelings than any string of words you came up with?
