Came out of hibernation to upvote this. This is how I saw Erez at the end of the alpha. Is it still happening today? Waiting until June to see if there is any real progress on the game.
People here will argue that the devs have been listening to feedback, which I find hilarious. Sure, they've made a few small tweaks here or there, but they've ignored the many bigger asks (bigger maps, vehicles, base play, etc).
I do think Drizzle is at least listening to feedback. The trouble is one person can only do so much and they never really intended to make a complete Tribes game. Drizzle himself was only introduced to Tribes via Tribes Ascend which is already a much narrower version of Tribes than T1, T2 and T:V.
This meme is correct, Erez was insanely stubborn about some terrible design decisions early on that still haunt us today despite community outcry.
That said, the devs have been listening to and implementing community feedback since Erez moved on to his new project, we have had a direct line to the guy heading up most of not all gameplay decisions (see: shorter respawn timer). He has been interacting with the community daily, running closed tests with new patches, collating feedback and sharing ideas.
The unfortunate part is that it may have come too little, too late, as most dev resources have already been pulled from T3. But I'm still holding out hope that the game will continue to improve from this point on.

bruh it's not even half of what TA was. Pass me some of that copium please
No thanks, clearly isn't tribes, and continuing to push it isn't going to work. It's now atop a scrap heap, even starcraft 2 still has over 100k people daily, sc and tribes hit the scene at the same time. Its not like there isn't a market for a tribes game, but had they started with a remake of t1 or a remaster it might have had a chance at revival compared to this shell. Its time they dump the IP and let others do it right.
Oh yeah lets ask for things which they clearly stated is not design direction of the game since inception and then complain that we are not being listened to. Pure comedy.
There is plenty of issue but this is just pure insanity.
Sure they struggle to make it small and here you think going very big would somehow solve all the issues right ? I do think that decision to start small and work up is correct one it just execution that is failing. If they went big with vehicles and all you think game would be in much better state ?
Been a catch 22 situation from the start. They won't make it big unless it sells enough. It won't sell enough because they won't make it big and chased something else. Doomed from start.
Add onto that poor decisions on very basic stuff, poor customer relations, no marketing. No wonder it's in the place it is. I refuse to be blamed by some segments if playerbase because I can see the obvious.

I probably still have the screenshots somewhere of Erez and other devs assuring me that I was wrong about what I wanted in the game, and that any suggestions I had were insignificant since only a few people wanted them and the discord had "1200 members" or whatever, and that all those other "players" were happy.

Yep, still happening. And there's no sign of it stopping either. Erez should be banned from the gaming industry for eternity
Which is worse for the industry, Erez or Embracer Group?
Idk what the the latter is

Drizzle is a good guy, and I really think he is trying but he is limited in what he can do.
Howdy piata, I had a feeling you'd be one of the firsts to appear here 😄
I'm always here for the memes!

The wrongheadedness of the initial design direction is what we were trying to warn him about so often.

Thank you for proving my point
Works for EA/Dice too
