  • I think you have a great idea here but for the wrong reasons bro : ) Tribes 2 has been around for quite a while, and could use some fresh turf. My only reservation would be that the stock Tribes 2 maps are already a lot of fun and VERY well balanced. I wouldn't be opposed to trying something new, but replacing the old maps…
  • [quote author=TheOracle[xXx] link=topic=167.msg1462#msg1462 date=1231529996] Tip for noobs Don't try to be the hero and fly into the enemy base or even engage the incoming juggernauts right away. You will be destroyed. Remember that there's no shame in staying behind to guard the gens or the flag, plant turrets, mines, or…
  • [quote author=TheOracle[xXx] link=topic=162.msg1457#msg1457 date=1231529067] I remember the sign of a full server used to be people standing in line at the vehicle pad like it was the Deparment of Motor Vehicles. From what I've seen it hasn't got to that point yet, there's just not enough people like there used to be.…
  • I have always said shoot for the stars and reach the moon, but if those of us with administrative experience coordinating competitions(Kryand) feel that we could potentially reach the stars if we hold off for a bit, then I agree. If we need to walk before we run, then let's start walking. Let's get a pickup game schedule…
  • Yes it is indeed too soon, but simply announcing this will stir interest, regardless of how far off it is. This week has seen monumental jumps in the Tribes 2 fan base, who better to bring them news of a tournament than two competition players from years past? Kyrand? Wildcard? I know what the two of you are saying, and…
  • Awesome tip Wildcard! Beacons have 2 modes, location mode and targeting mode, simply hitting h while you look at it will switch it back and forth between the 2 modes. Some great places to put beacons in targeting mode are on the bottoms of vehicle stations in maps where the vehicle station is raised up on a platform.…
  • Awesome, and no I don't think you're an elitist prick : ) The only way to gauge any of this is to compare it to our own experience. If a 3 HO is more effective based on experience even if something else looks good on paper, then the 3 HO is the strategy of choice for the winning tribe! I respect your experience and agree!…
  • GREAT SCENARIO! I see exactly what you mean, thank you for your knowledge! It's interactions like these that makes us all better players, and it shows when we are put in similar situations. Is there any way for the bomber to survive the shrike attack, short of close air support from another shrike? If the answer is no,…
  • Here is a quick strategy that works on an individual level: when refilling your life bar on the inventory station, quickly press q repeatedly. Pressing q uses your health pack, refilling a small portion of your life in tandem with the inventory station gradually filling it as well. After you use your health pack the inv…
  • You're not boring me at all bro. I will take your word for the effectiveness of vehicles in classic, as I have never played a competition, and so have no experience of and have never witnessed the effectiveness of vehicles beyond their use in a pickup game.
  • According to a random weapon stat sheet that I picked up on a random website somewhere that I can't remember: The bomber bombs do 3,300 hit points to all types of armor, ammunition is unlimited, .84 seconds to reload, and does 1,100 damage to base assets, 30 meter blast radius, is more difficult to stop than a mortar…
  • You should have written it brother. In generations passed, there were great struggles. What do we have today? To quote the great Tyler Derden: "Our great war is a spiritual one, our great depression is our lives." If you would have written it from a sociological perspective, it would have been a tome of knowledge for our…
  • Why no bomber bro? I have found them to be a major suppressive factor.
  • Thyth, when I spoke of the selfish few(who deny them) I was speaking of those on their server who have convinced them through lies not to use TribesNext as their replacement master server solution. I have the utmost respect for you and the work you have done to help restore the Tribes 2 community. With that said, please…
  • I agree, the strategy is indeed the how and not the what. Analogous to the contrary, going to work is arriving there on time rather than the route you took to get there. Wildcard, thank you for getting our participants back on track. Please keep this in mind when detailing the strategies that you all have found to work. :)
  • This theory may be true for the puppeteer of the masses but I for one am of the idealistic mind in favor of a sensible reason in the eyes of the populous. In short, someone convinced(or deceived) the bulk of the EWO users that joining the TribesNext campaign was detrimental to them or their tribe in one way or another. We…
  • PRESS INSERT TO VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Thank you Thyth, I had read that in one of your earlier posts as well and would have quoted you but couldn't find it on the construct forums. Any possibility someone can relay that information to Tim of Elite Warriors oline, I have no way of contacting him. As I said earlier, I was under the impression that they weren't on…
  • The last time I played on their Dallas server there was some discussion about the legal legitimacy of tribesnext. The consensus is that tribesnext is going to get shutdown as soon as vivendi catches wind of it. This may be the reason they are staying out. Perhaps someone should explain why tribesnext complies with…
  • Look buddy, I distinctly remember World of Warcraft featuring pizza delivery, it's the only way they could justify such a steep monthly fee.
  • I'm talking full scale bro, so Tribe leaders can scout out their players when this game gets competitive again! It's looking like this may be the comeback tribes 2 was looking for.
  • Implementation of a stats system to track player kills, caps, rapes etc.
  • I've been reading the posts this Thyth guy has written. I've been writing code for 20 years, 10 of which professionally, and he speaks of things I have never even heard of. It's like the guy knows everything. He's not a ninja, he's THE ninja master. Thanks Thyth, you rule. -abstract/killmachine/dischord81/atlas
  • sorry bout that papa, just always laughed at the 1st poster, best poster, top poster #1 poster games kids play : ) Sorry to offend, will keep this G rated in the future(maybe PG sometimes but minimally)
  • wow. how impressive. not only can you go around and post an off topic comment in every thread of the forum, it also appears that you have to very common ability known as reading! CONGRATULATIONS! you're mediocre.
  • I am having serious Tribes withdrawal. Please complete the replacement servers soon, I might not make it... I am a software developer, however I don't have any experience writing for the platforms in question. I have experience in the following: a bunch of worthless BASIC languages x86 assembly c, c++ (for msdos/win32)…
