This comes out tomorrow, figured I would make a thread to get the word out.

>What is it

It's an FPS-Z Similar to Tribes created by the guys who made Legions: Overdrive and just like Legions it will be Free to Play.

>Why make a thread a day early

Figured we can try setting up a game night for it and I wanted to give anons a bit of time to get ready.

The art style looks like it's trying to mimic the cancerous fortnite look, but I mean just the gunplay looks awkward. Maybe it's because they are just trying to make it look cinematic. I'll still try it out but everything about it screams "WE ARE TRYING TO TRICK CHILDREN INTO PLAYING THIS BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE EVERY OTHER SHITTY F2P GAME ON THE MARKET RIGHT NOW". By this point I should make a compilation picture of all of these shitty little games. Overwatch, Paladins, fortnite, all these weird assfaggot ripoffs that look identical to each other with their faggoty tumblr art styles.

This kind of shit is becoming the norm because these fucking niggers are prepping for mobile ports since that's where the real money is.

I think it's more that teh big budget devs lack the proper skills to do any thing worth a shit. Most releases are reskined games of old. They didn't put in the hard work to make those games it's just an art pass. Any thing new takes a huge bite and ends up being unable to chew, see early crapcess and unfinished games. No one is forging new tech or programs to allow the next level of gameplay detail required to entertain most of us. Starcit actually looks like it might do that, and I've talked mad shit about that in the past and with good reason. Do hope I am wrong and some of the tech coming out of that can benefit games form then on… assuming it happens, early alphas are not to be trusted. TBH fuck that bitch ass Notch for selling minecraft successfully before finishing it. Gave every one else the idea that they can do the same. However in order to do that you must complete the game.

Actually apparently it's going free to play but only according to reviews I read on the steam page. Either way they say they are planning on gating fucking weapons behind a pay wall so it's essentially confirmed to be pay to win. So if you buy the game now you get all the over powered weapons that they sell in the future.

It's paid to get early access. Presumably the same purchase amount will be optional when the game releases, as a progression unlock. Or you can play free and grind. I wish Tribes Ascend had done this from its launch, they didn't add the unlock-everything purchase until the game was on its last legs. I'd have gladly paid to skip all their waitgates.

Early access now, F2P launch is in less than an hour according to the dev BugsPray on disagreement. If you buy early access now you get all current and future gameplay unlocks.

Please don't spread misinfo.

The devs already had the monetization system planned out in 2016, and it's very simple. Free to play, grind out all gameplay unlocks if you want to (weapons, grenades, different ability packs, armor types) or just pay 30$ and get all current and future gameplay unlocks.

Wait really? I don't really care about the cosmetics, and the server thing doesn't matter as long as there are people other than me paying, but the skill tree not saving is pretty bad.

Air and skiing control is fucking garbage. Feels like they never played a single Tribes game before making this. Honestly I wuldn't be surprised if this was developed with 6 different jet direction hotkeys in mind and only swapped to RMB-jet style control at the last second.


d76619 No.14736408

>>14736357

You barely have any directional control on jetpack, and there's no control whatsoever when skiing. This last one is really bad, it limits your jumping vectors.

The devs of midair are formerly devs of Legions: Overdrive which I remember has a jet downward function that I feel is pretty neat. Not sure why they wouldn't want to continue using that idea in this.


908dc9 No.14737240

>>14737157

That's because it would fuck with how the skiing works big time. Down-boost in L:O was decent because ordinary go-down-the-slope-at-an-angle approach, as in, without abusing down-boost, was terrible. Map design that favored sharper slopes at certain cap approaches didn't help. So to keep your momentum and go fast enough for a cap + overdrive boost, you had to abuse it. So naturally, when you combine the L:O approach and Tribes approach with fast-paced fucking-raiders-everywhere gameplay where light classes HAVE to get an edge speed-wise over med-armor classes for the game to remain balanced, things quickly become very fucked up.

So to summarize - pathfinders don't have to route with smoother slopes in mind (just tap shift wew), medium armor classes just have to fly up above a good slope and downboost into it to get INSTANT FUCKING SPEED 300+ SANICS GOING FAST and heavies/chasers just get fucked in CTF maps because of it. Snipers could be stupid good though.

not quite as satisfying as T:A's mortar which blew niglets into gibs but its alright. its nice leaving little green balls of death in your skiing trail when the enemy team inevitably decides its a good idea to chase you around their side of the map instead of do stuff related to the flag.

this games grenade launcher feels so good. T:A's felt kind of gimmicky IIRC but this thing feels like a powerhouse.

Also, does anyone know the inheritance %? It feels very weird how much is seems to "scale" with ground movement. Just ADADing around gives huge inheritance to grenade launcher.

Played it, I think it's pointless to pay $20 for this game just so you canplay a clone of Tribes 2. It does play well for what it is, although the movement works a little differently I got used to it fast enough. But the FTP model is like Ascend's but worse. You have to unlock basic weapons and armor types. The only thing you can play when you start the game is the default spawn loadout you get in every Tribes game, plus an energy pack. It's dumb as fuck because newbies will probably get tired of it quickly without having more stuff unlocked, and grizzled veterans won't see the point of playing $20 to play Tribes 2 with a different coat of paint. The weapons are balanced slightly differently and the blaster is a fun weapon to use; otherwise its completely identical.

TBF there isn't as many sidegrades and weapon variety in Midair and in T:A you got access to 3 armor types from the get go, Pathfinder, Soldier and Doombringer IIRC. It's understandable that people get mad over just having light but the grind isn't anywhere near as bad as Ascend was.

Yes this is my point too. While you don't have a lot from the get go you will unlock what you want far faster than in T:A, although I am a EA supporter and have all the unlocks it was very easy to grind stuff out as a test pre-F2P launch.

I won't say that your opinion is wrong but it more or less is. It just depends what weapons you are talking about. I kinda wish the AOE damage of the Plasma was more consistent and larger so it is more effective of a groundpound/close range weapon.

I actually feel like I'm blowing nerds apart a bit too easily. Grenade Launcher is devastating and MAs feel easier. The chaingun has appropriate spread that it isn't obnoxious.

The only thing that feels out of place to me currently is mediums feel a bit too beefy for what they can do. You can hold a missile launcher on top of ring, CG, gl, disc jump yourself 3 times and effectively play chase with boost, all while taking quite a bit of damage. I haven't unlocked shield pack yet to try comboing that with disc jumps.

I really wish they'd change the jetpacking. If you fuck up your interception as a chase and don't have basically full energy for another one in the midfield, the flag is just fucking gone.

The first question is do you expect people to make games for free? If you want to treat it like a normal non-f2p game just buy it and don't think about it, and the lootboxes in the game cannot be bought and that is not a means for monetization, they are only earned by leveling up at the moment.

It simply just limits height gain when you try and move around with it, less height means less mobility, tribes ascend could let you keep moving freely while also gaining height he same time.

pretty much a downgrade if tribes ascend lets you move freely and does not effect height gain.

You use momentum to keep going in the same direction, and stop holding a direction to gain height. And besides that, how exactly is it "better" when every player is limited by the same system that you are? This isn't rocket science, anon. Stop being a child and mashing your movement keys.

Heavies sure are balanced when you're stuck with default load out. Mortar 1 shots light armor, meanwhile heavy can face tank 4 disc hits.

Also I guess later in the game you get things to completely hide you from enemy radar, even after direct hits I never once saw the HP of this dude.

The netcode in those games is genuine fucking voodoo magic. Take some perspective for a moment and think about when Tribes 1 originally came out. This is a game about going 200+ km/h and shooting people while doing it. And it was playable on 56k dial-up. I don't know what problems you're suffering but I can gauren-fucking-tee you it's not due to netcode.

You're simply not supposed to engage heavies as lights unless you use a plasma gun, sniper or grenade launcher, and you're going fast enough to avoid mortars. Tribes is kind of strict in its roles. The shocklance was also a great weapon for it, but it isn't in the game yet and they are probably going to add it if they keep aping Tribes 2. It's basically a melee-range weapon that uses all of your energy, but it insta-kills anyone except heavies if you shoot them in the back and you have full energy, and it leaves heavies at quite low HP.

I never said anything about it being easier that makes it better. If I wanted to go forward and go higher in tribes ascend if I could,

If I wanted to go higher I'd have to not hold forward, but I wont gain speed, if I want to gain speed I hold forward and release it while skiing. This gives you a choice on what to do, ok, its not as fun compared to doing both in tribes ascend.

Why should I be limited on what I should do when doing both is better regardless? What because the head up your ass thinks its so much skillful just to do the little extra work? So what? its boring and limiting.

Yeah, you're right. Walls are boring and limiting in FPSes, we should just give everyone noclip instead.

It makes the movement system require more finesse. It's not an objectively good or bad thing, it's just different and requires slightly more forethought when you choose your skiing routes. As a result of the higher finesse required, it's more satisfying as well. I don't understand why you are so fixated on being able to hold W while jetting and still gain height. It takes less than a few hours to get used to.

When you are stopped in your track, its a little more work just to try and survive and fight back, I mostly prefer that stuff when it comes to fighting over a flag and people are walking, jumping and trying to float above explosions.

I have no issues or complaints with the skiing, its simply just the jetpack and closer indoor fights.

>>14739874

It's just a different sort of metagame. You get used to it. Positioning yourself at the top of a hill is really good in this game, because you can shit grenades and people with a low angle can't splash you to death because it's more difficult to gain height and change direction mid-air without wasting all your energy and rendering yourself defenseless. You should think more carefully about whether you should be skiing or on a high position.

As for indoor fights, I can't tell exactly what your complaint is because jetpacks aren't as much of a factor indoors, depending on the base structure. Obviously shield packs and grenades and mortars are really good indoors.

So if a heavy decides to camp our generator I guess we just don't have a generator for the rest of the match? Can't avoid mortars in hallways and if we just lob long range explosives at each other the heavy is going to win 9/10 because a regular grenade launcher probably takes at least 3 hits to kill a heavy. Meanwhile mortars have larger aoe and 1 shot.

Maybe having hard class counters is a bad idea if you put everything behind a progression wall :^)

Even T:A at least gave you medium classes to start with. I've been playing for hours and I still haven't even gotten the basic engineer pack.

Shocklance in Tribes 2 one shots anything if you hit them in the back, unless they have a shield pack active. It doesn't deplete energy, but it doesn't work if your energy is 0. It also doesn't work underwater.

Yeah, unless you know another heavy fights him. Or your teammates just spam grenades because all generators are intentionally placed in small rooms that are at the bottom of shafts. And standing around an already destroyed generator is usually a waste of time when you could push K and mortar a light who is about to take your flag.

I don't think that's the case unless they have changed something. Your spawns just take a lot longer if the generator is broken.

>>14740797

Hi Rez increased grind by an insane amount after the first year and then abandoned it and didn't update it. They added speed caps which penalized good players and balance was all over the place. The game was abandoned late 2014 if I recall correctly and then no longer dealt with at all for 2 years. The last 2 developers on the game made the Out of the Blue patch which returned the Light-Medium-Heavy armor types of the old games and balancing it out. After that they polished it up and released 1.4 and then the 2 last developers left. T:A is now in a state of complete abandonment.

>>14740837

Servers are fucking up. Remember that this game has never had above 200 players at once so this is probably taking a toll. Wait it out.

>>14740868

FPS-Z isn't too common of a term yet but I'm spreading the word. It's games like Tribes, Legion Overdrive, Midair and some other ones that no one plays anymore. FPS with skiing and base defense in a CTF mode is basically what it means overall.

>I don't really mind it, leveling is piss easy anyhow. Just hope that I don't get anymore of those fucking cancerboxes.

Yeah that's fair. I don't care about points since I am a EA supporter but I guess this is another layer of monetization, hoping to get you to buy the game pass. I think their system is totally fair since nothing is free, and especially not when the game has been a passion project with a huge share of ups and downs for 4 years for Bugs and the team.

A note about plasma though, the projectile visual effect is a bit broken, to fix it you have to set your effects setting to high. It's apparently some weird obscure UE4 bug but I am not too certain. Asked Voidspawn about it months ago and he just said it was weird.

Everyone in this thread seems to forget that the real reason T:A died was because HiRez decided to drop future development of the game and start shilling SMITE, their new ASSFAGGOTS game. They had a popular as fuck game with an enthusiastic fan base RIGHT AT THE DAWN OF TWITCH STREAMING and they threw it in the trash to chase after a shitty new trend that had already reached market saturation.

There are a lot of things that went wrong, like the speed cap, removal of a popular map after they fucked it up, forcing flag carrier to drop the flag if they grenade boost, the new weapons being unbalanced pay to win shit, etc., but in the end all of that could have been ignored or fixed. Dropping the game in its prime is what truly killed it.

According to the devs, it's because all of the unlocks are tracked by putting items in your Steam inventory, and the implementation is janky as fuck. I guess they wanted to save money by using the Steam servers to track user unlocks instead of hosting their own tracker.

I know eye-candy means shit in a multiplayer shooter. But for me is important to move in an environment that looks vibrant and nice to navigate. And gives me also reference point to navigate.

In the originals you spawned with a blaster, which pierces shield packs. This was used to take back the generators, along with the frag grenades.

It sucked, but that was the price for losing your generator. Your team would've hopefully deployed remote inventory stations so you could switch weapons and get a pack, which would help. Also, the MPC vehicle would allow you to switch armors as well.

So, the aspect you are describing sounds exactly as it always was.

Of course, they didn't bother to make this easily found even though they posted it themselves. And it's only shown on disagreement.

>If you have troubles with losing your unlocked items after restarting your game, please follow these steps: 1. Close your game. 2. Exit your Steam client. (This means right clicking on the Steam icon on your taskbar and clicking Exit.) 3. Go to the following filepath: \Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Midair\Midair\Saved\SaveGames 4. Within this folder, delete the file named "ProgressionCache.sav" 5. Reopen Steam. 6. Open Midair, and join a server. If your issues persist after this, message me here on disagreement.

When I did that, my skill points I spent earlier were given back, and the skill tree was correctly displaying. Bought the Grenade Launcher, joined a server, quit the server then quit the game, logged back in and it was still unlocked. Guess I'll try some more games.

ugh. I got confused. It's Maya that's Y vertical.

This always pissed me off. I started with 3d with valve's hammer editor back in HL1 days. Y was vertical there. Then I went to 3ds max and the vertical was all fucked up. It was always annoying, since different programs do it differently, but I can tell you as a 3d modeler and motion graphics artist that Y is more often vertical. I also defend that this is how it should be.

Most CAD has Z as vertical.

The only reasoning you could have for Y being vertical is from a foundation in 2d mathematical graphs and the simplistic viewpoint of a piece of paper having the top as 'up' in the real world.

Drawing a Doom map is always done from above, with X and Y being the coordinates for sideways movement, the height modifiers being applied afterwards.

It was the same in all 2.5D games.

Z therefore became the height axis.

Otherwise, you would be assuming that a flat plane would include the third axis, which makes no sense.

Z is also the vertical axis when dealing with aeroplanes, their movements and flight plotting.

In the future, there may be a civil war about this.

Y versus Z.


ba1658 No.14745687

>>14745643

In mathematical Cartesian coordinates, the 2D standard is X and Y. When applied to 3D, the X and Y become the horizontal plane, and Z becomes the vertical. Y being the vertical is the exception variant.

If you think about it, even the word "depth" is rooted in vertical measurements of the physical world.

How deep is that well/hole/lake/ocean?

If you think about it from a human perspective, which is where the concept itself has originated from, man being the measure, then we function on a generally 2-dimensional plane. Going up and down doesn't occur and not is it referred to nearly as often in general practice.

I would say that reasons that the 2 dimensional X and Y is mostly perceived as something flat.

If you flatten something, do you imagine it compressing sideways, or something from above reducing the height of the object.

It would be odd to think of X and Y as a vertically hanging invisible sheet in front of me, suspended in the air, with most of it unreachable.

Maps represent our earth on a 2 dimensional plane, X and Y. A contour would add a third dimension, which alphabetically would be Z.

I don't expect to convince you, as I can see that X and Y could be imagined vertically as a choice, and if you start thinking of it the other way, you'll have difficulty modelling and fighting against rationality at the same time.

I spent almost all my time modelling in 3dStudio, Autocad and several others.

As far as I know, in most of the major 3d programmes, you can change how the X/Y/Z are dealt with to your own preferences.

Following scientific and mathematical method, it would be Z as vertical, and I wonder why Maya etc diverted from that.


ba1658 No.14745824

>>14745782

The times when 'depth' has been used for something away or more distant from the viewer generally depend on a more personal or subjective perspective, rather than an overall or overview.

"Go deep!" in baseball, means to go further away from a particular point on the flat plane.

Depth of field in rendering is about distance from the camera, coming from the painting technique of "creating depth", or rather the illusion of depth. Again, rooted in the perception of the viewer of the painting.

Depth perception, in regards to binocular capabilities to tell distance from a fixed point.

From a removed and objective perspective, depth remains vertical.

There we have the foundation of the civil war. Those who believe Z is rooted in the objective and greater truth of verticality, and those who believe in the personal and subjective experience of Z being simply away from them along a normal plane of human travel.

I think this all boils down whether or not the coordinate system in your head thinks first of a screen or a map. I speculate CAD users and derivative software would be vertical Z while visual design and derivatives (like After Effects) would be vertical Y.

A curious question comes in the videogame context: which way would most engine devs think?

Z is not inherently height or inherently depth, it's just a third axis and entirely context specific as to where it's perceived to point.

>scientific and mathematical method, it would be Z as vertical

This in particular is egregiously false. I recommend you try programming something involving 3 dimensions, or read any scientific/mathematic literature involving three dimensions at all. Then you will see how relative it is.

Lastly I recommend that you stop writing so much on topics you know so little about.

3 dimensions represented on paper are with the Z axis as vertical.

Pilots learn to fly with Z axis as vertical.

That in reality X Y and Z are interchangeable is just bypassing the topic completely.

Makes sense. Also suggests why they can't decide which standard to stick to.

I would have thought engines would use Z as vertical, but you say HL1 used Y as vertical.

I don't remember if the coordinates were labelled in Quake C, it was too long ago. But it would be strange if quake was programmed with Z as vertical and HL1, using its engine as a base, changed it to Y as vertical.

It's becoming stranger, because the HL1 engine followed the same Z=vertical as Quake 1.

The diagrams used to illustrate in that post have Y as vertical, but search for the rest "decided to" for what was used in the game.

Maya's help page agrees with what you said, that the visual effects industry uses Z as a painter would, depth as distance from the viewer.

But it states that other industries use Z as vertical.

Both it and 3dsMax allow you to switch between them to use which you prefer.

Context only matters when you are shit posting.

You've added nothing to the discussion, you sound like a faggot and have nothing to back up your claims of infinite experience in all fields of the world.

You've ignored Cartesian mathematics, human perception being the most important root, that avionics is entirely based on the principle, and just refer extremely vaguely to "programming" without context, contradicting yourself, and then referring even more vaguely to what I suppose you intend to mean theoretical science of science outside the earth's influence, which has no bearing on this discussion whatsoever.

Maybe you should keep your mouth closed on this subject, instead of using your cold-reading style interjections to satisfy your own lack of personality.

Keep arguing that there is no such thing as 'up' though, that's certainly within this context.

Get well soon.
