Speed in T2/discs

[old.garland]

I think the speed in T2 should be as follows

light 2 times it is now
medium 1.5 times
heavy how it is now

not much to work out there

if it is sposed to be REAL physics then a light should be twice as fast as a heavy i mean A big phat bint wouldnt be able to run as fast as a skinny bint should be the same for tribes 2.

also the disc in tribes 2 PA HA wtf is up with it MA all over the place and it doesnt move ppl any more like in t1 if a capper was coming in a disc just infront of him would shoot him up or deflect him off WTF, you can MA someone and they still carry on.

Happy now i said that

topic should clearly be speed/disc in T2

I disagree that the speed of the armours needs to be changed (however much I want to go faster in light - it's not right).

However - I do agree that the disk's need to move people a bit more.

Discjumps and mortar jumps just aren't as much fun any more!

(Mortar jumps just don't work anywhere near as well).

In fact - for something like a discjump or mortar jump I think the physics should be "slackened" for a couple of seconds so incredible speeds could be reached - then you have a good tradeoff - do you hurt yourself to get, say, 150 yards further than normal jump/jetting, and risk getting shot more easily by mid-field players - or do you try to conserve your health?

Disc-jumping just isn't as much fun as it used to be!

If skiing were twice as fast as it is now then there would be no point in lights using vehicles.

If someone makes a clean grab it is very difficult to chase them down, with x2 skiing it would be almost impossible.

think about the physics its not right

The game needs to be more fast paced.

Example: Played TD other day first scrim with meh clan, playing some maps cant remember what maps but, map 1 was ok getting used to me disc as i was trying to bounce ppl away etc, failing

The second map had no vehicles and it was so crap i was like a zombi just sitting there pressing keys no fun and it didnt get my blood pumping, NEEDED more speed to the game bit more chaous.

Yup - it feels slow - but I'm not sure that an overall increase in speed would make the game feel better.

The speeds are what they are to increase teamplay - to make it harder for cappers (remember snowblind - if you were playing from the BE side and got the flag in light - jumped out through the base top entrance, hit that slope then diskjumped at the right time - you could cap in about 4 seconds!

No-one can catch something like that - yet with the uncapped ski/jump/fly speed it was very easy to do!

However - I think that disc and mortar jumping should give you a faster "rush" of speed for the first second or even half a second - make it a bit more exciting (and useful).

I hope that when they bring out their expansion pack that they put in something like "accelleration tubes" or something - so you can travel through them - and they spew you out at the other end at tremendous speeds! - would be gr8 fun!

Firstly, a light when skiing goes about 10 times faster than a heavy.

Secondly, there were 1000 beta testers, things being tweaked all the time, i don't think the dev team would over look something as major as the warriors speed when balancing the game. I think it is perfectly balanced as it is.

you might be getting no effect with the MA because T2 has the same bug as tribes1.

Where as if u hit someone directly in the face(i think thats the body location) then it doesnt register a hit. Poker fixed this in bwadmin but dynamix never cared - some things never change

Well valid points but for me its to slow not enuff action CS is more appealing FS doesnt say much for T2 in my case.

Looks like i will have to beat the living crap out of all the newbies on the Tribes 1 servers

Once you start playing larger organised matches it seems just as fast paced as Tribes did.
