Tribes: Ascend - The Wishlist

Wanted to put down a few of the things I'd like to see added or changed in writing, and figured I'd make a spot where others could do the same so we could compare notes. I'd prefer to avoid balance issues here; I don't want this to turn into a WoW Forum thread.

1) Red/green colorblind-friendly Friend tags

2) Secondary key-mapping

3) Friend list interface needs some serious overhauling

4)Moar fiar wile zumed, moar zum on sniparz

    Eventual Steam integration for easy matchmaking would be nice.

    FREINDS. Lord, please fix the friends. They've lost a lot of the major problems, but queue hell continues.
  • ThraxThrax 🐌 Austin, TX Icrontian
    1) Queue hell.

    2) "Ultra" graphics quality settings. The Tribes INI has more to give.

    3) More maps.

    Granted, this is a F2P game, so even if they fixed 0% of the things in this thread, I would be totally happy with Tribes: Ascend.

    I haven't even played yet but I can give my input here:

    1. Steam availability (sounds like this would play into the matchmaking swimmingly)

    It probably would, except I'm not sure how the Steam tag vs. Tribes tag would play out. I'm really not that familiar with using Steam matchmaking with non-Valve games.

    Works pretty well for Dungeon Siege III. Find a player in your friend list from the Steam overlay, right click and invite them to your game. Should work the same in Tribes, but I doubt it'll ever come to Steam.

    Addendum #1:

    5) Safer spawn locations. (Spawning disoriented with someone shooting you in the face is a little annoying after the first dozen or so times.)

    6) Match start delay. The game is always already underfoot when I spawn in, and I'm not hesitating at all in joining.

    7) Higher color contrast in general. It gets tough to tell what's what and where it actually is, and the trying to read the terrain is just an exercise in migraine development. This is, however, possibly due to my running on low graphics. (Don't think it's necessary, but I've been tinkering due to some weird system performance.)

    Seconding match start delay. My machine loads so fast that I'm usually 2nd or 3rd in the game, but the others already have a head start and get an early grab.

    Gotta go faster.

    My wishlist has pretty much been posted already. Now to compile it and get it to Hi-Rez. Be nice if they had a list of what they plan to put in/fix, that way it is known whether to bark up this tree or not.

    Truth. Let me know where you post to them, please :D

    Addendum #2:

    8) Team balancing. Ended up in a 5v3 arena just a moment ago...

    9) A dedicated class-change button. Srsly.
  • BandrikBandrik Elkhart, IN Icrontian
    Oh, how could I forget this? I know they're adding more voice commands. I REALLY hope they have "gotta go fast!", as well as a taunt like "you weren't going fast enough". Bonus points for "I went slow once... it was terrible".

    The idea of mic-spamming these makes me giddy with childish delight.
  • midgamidga "There's so much hot dog in Rome" ~digi (> ^.(> O_o)> Icrontian
    I'll be happy if they add a "Boom!"
  • ThraxThrax 🐌 Austin, TX Icrontian
    [VGF] GOTTA GO FAST
  • UPSWeezerUPSWeezer Behind you... GENTLEMEN Icrontian
    1) Bolt Launcher for Pathfinder
    2) Thumper for Technician
    3) Sticky Grenades for Infiltrator
    ... oh, not that kind of wish list...

    For real though. Infiltrator is way to OP now. Fix it!

    Besides what's already mentioned (agree with all)...

    • In-game matchmaking for balanced teams right from the start (could be an optional game mode)
    • More game modes. I'd love a base defense mode. Win by destroying enemy reactor, defend your own. Like League of Legends.
    • When selecting/changing my class, I wish each had a keyboard shortcut for faster selection. So for example if I want to switch to Technician quickly to fix shit, I'd want to type [i] to switch classes and [t] for Technician. Then fix. Then [t], [j] to go back to Juggernaut.
    • IN-GAME CLANS. I'd love to see an Icrontic clan and see all our juicy frag stats.

    I'm actually going to try out doing defense with a Raider. I just noticed that his secondary pack is a strap-on jammer (giggity). It drains energy, but upgraded it's -50% drain. Might help deal with those damn rogues.

    Also, I tried out Arena for a bit before I passed out last night. It's great. :D Small maps, no flags, slower velocities but a faster pace. There were also only about 2-5 people on a team at any given time (probably due to it being 2:30cst) which made it feel like a good small UT match. Still having trouble getting used to it being small-walkways-and-platforms-over-a-big-pit-of-death, but it just means you've gotta be careful about your movement.

    This game really is the next iteration of challenging arena-style FPS. I just kinda wish it had come out ten years ago when I was good at them and not now when the most challenging FPS I play is TF2 >_>

    TF2-style KOTH would be fun, or UT2K4's bombing run.
