Weird, I got it working now... strange. <p></p><i></i>

I hope you can play it on dial up, the netcode right now is really terrible. It does not compare at all the to the playability of the two previous Tribes games. The netcode is <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>one</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> of the biggest complaints right now. <p><a href="http://www.thzclan.com/gryphav.png/sigs.php"><img src="http://www.thzclan.com/gryphav.png" style="border:0;"/></a><a href="http://www.thzclan.com/content.php?p=4"><img src="http://www.thzclan.com/cam/gryphon/thb_ccam.jpg" style="border:0;"/></a><span style="font-size:xx-small;"><br><a href="http://www.gryphonllc.com">Gryphon, LLC</a> - My WebDev Adventures<br><a href="http://www.thzclan.com">The Hounds of Zeus</a> - Founder<br><a href="http://www.planettribes.com">PlanetTribes</a> - Adminstrator<br><a href="http://www.planetside-universe.com">PlanetSide Universe</a> - Code Monkey<br><a href="http://www.planetplanetside.com">PlanetSide Shuttle</a> - Newsie</span></p><i></i>

despite the horrible netcode, playing in on a 56k was fine. i did it for a month. its not that bad. If I had to put them in an order, from worst to best, by playability on a 56k, it would be: T2 > T1 > T:V.<br><br>I'd rather play T:V on a 56k than t1. <p>-=Skater=-<br>Chian IloveScarrlett Level 43 Healer - MLF - The enDless<br><br>*Retired Member of the XMEN T2 team<br><br>*Retired member of the DTM<br><br>*Retired member of United<br><br>*Retired member to the enDless Tribs 1 & 2(Detox.enD)<br><br><center>RIP Radar. 3/10/1992 - 7/19/02 -- we will miss you :(</center><br><br><br><i>[Maz{Away}[DTM]] I wanna play with you :)<br><br>[Skater] .....</p><i></i>

I haven't had many problems with the netcode, I think. A lot of the hangups I've been getting (where you try to move or jet be get pulled back to one spot) were just a poorly implemented anti-speedhack thing kicking in, I believe. <p><img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/epsilonav3.jpg align=LEFT><BR><br><br><align=right><font size=2><a href=mailto:Epsilon@dragontalonmercs.com>Email me<br><br><a target=_top href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary<br><br><a target=_top href=http://www.xmenclan.org>XMEN clan</font></align><br><br><br><br><BR><br><align=left><font size=1><a>"Tribes is an 'old-fashioned' wargame, basically.

Hey... unreal's netcode sucks ass.<br><br>America's Army has the same problem.<br> <p></p><i></i>

Is that why Im always jerky on the server? And here I thought it was my conenction. BTW Gambit saw you in game for a bit tonight but you didn't say much... Probably didn't recognize the tags... but it was nice to see a familiar face again. <p></p><i></i>

Yeah, I tried joining you guys on that server, but when it approached full my pings went to over 200 and everything got very slide show like. I have the same trouble in UT2K4, as long as the ping stays below 150 I'm fine, but if the server can't handle the number of players the ping spikes drastically.<br><br>Good to see some of you guys again, even for the brief period I was able to play there <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE HR START--><hr /><!--EZCODE HR END--><br>Real Geeks don't make there own backups.

I saw you, WC, just hard to chat sometimes. Too many distractions! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>I even saw Mal leaving the server. <br><br>Regards bringing folks back:<br><br>I've also recognized "sequel-itis," and something else, while talking to someone the other night on TS. He wondered if T:V brought back that intense feeling he got while playing T1. Not really an unusual or uncommon question.<br><br>Frankly, I don't think any game can really compare to another game in that regard. <br><br>First, "sequel-itis," which game devs, movie directors, authors, and others have wrestled with for ages. Of course I'm approaching this one from a gaming viewpoint. <br>With experience we become used to a game, and then it starts to get old and we want something else. Then something else comes along and, if it was just a remake of the first game, it's "too similar" and we don't buy it or get tired of it very quickly. If it differs from the first one, something about that difference is going to bug you every time you play if you expect the experience to be like the first one. And some people will whine about it, to anyone who will listen. You know of whom I speak, I'm sure.<br>Sorry. I think you just have to approach a sequel and evaluate it on its own merits or faults.<br><br>Now, the something else, which is somewhat related to sequel-itis. This is one that wise men, lovers and psychologists have known for ages, and that is simply that you can't experience something for the first time more than once. If you forget everything about the first one, then the second one really is the first one in your memory. Welcome to senility, or some other disorder. If you don't forget the first experience, then what you remember from the first - the feelings, the reactions, the suspense - is affecting your response to the second, and you didn't HAVE that going on the first time around.<br><br>Yes, I know what he meant, but it really seems to be an unrealistic expectation. So, as to whether this brings people back or not, I'd say the expected percentage is low. There will be a lot of people who check it out, and might stay for a little while, but they'll quickly leave for the same reasons they left before. Sequel-itis is too much in our nature.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Yeah, I wasn't to worried. I was totally trying to figure out how my key binds were and wasn't apying much attention to the game anyway. You left before I could add you to my buddy list so oh well.<br><br>How about we drop a list of common servers we generally visit so it will be easier to find everyone? <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p090.ezboard.com/bxmenclan.showU ... child>XMEN Wildchild</A>&nbsp; <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://www.intelcities.com/Fan_Freeway/ ... inside.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 9/1/04 11:58 am<br></i>

Buddy list uses a partial match.
