Just give us modding tools and charge us for it and we'll be glad to dish out the money to make this game the way we want it. no more complaining.

It does not endorse people with similar skill levels playing together. It endorses people with similar rank playing together, and nothing else entirely. And since the matchmaking update Capture and Hold has been practically dead. You killed an entire game type with your update to the system. When something like that happens, then you really should consider undoing the cause.

Really hope a content patch comes out soon, CTF defence is still very poorly balanced - it's either nobody at all defending or "Holy crap this is the bet defensive team ever!", with the former making up 95% of games unfortunately. Really need to fix the defence system so people actually feel compelled to defend and repair BEFORE the point where every asset is Mk.4. _________________ This signature is green.

Re: Jul 24, 2012: Tribes Ascend Version 1.0.1055

What is the point to use Pathfinder for capping?
Soldier seems now better for that job.

Why did you change Nitron?

PS: Do you notice a "Sentinel" fashion, now Tribes seems slower?
I spent a public game with more than 5 Sent in opponent team. Camping and Shooting everywhere? Is that Tribes? No move (1/Jammer 2/Scope 3/Waiting...)

PS2: I d like bigger reticles for Inf stuff... Not a big deal, but I write it.

if c & h is "dead", it's because there are less people playing it, not because of the matchmaking.

This.

Matchmaking has never been much of an issue in Oceanic servers, mainly because everyone plays together, with the only real distinction being between the Newbie bracket and everyone else.

C&H is pretty much dead, Arena is sickly at best, TDM isn't too bad, and CTF is fine.

C&H fairs the worst simply because it's just not very fun... the implementation is weird and doesn't work how you'd expect it was meant to.
People played it plenty in the month after it was released but the numbers gradually faded as more people realised it just wasn't very good, and then it gets to the point where people stop playing because not enough people are playing, and then that negative feedback loop kills it off entirely.

Re: Jul 24, 2012: Tribes Ascend Version 1.0.1055

Arena is sickly due to its various bugs
- can't team balance during match
- weird display issues on scoreboard
- unable to chat after death
- weird slanted spectator
- announcer saying wrong outcome (for example "You Lost!" when you actually won)
- randomly adding 6th person to a 5 person game\

never has such a good gametype needed so much love. it just feels like an abandoned which is sad because a lot of good players view it as a very mature form of tribes dm. i really wish they would put more into it.
