Especially this: Quote: Jet-packs I think the entire forum agrees that the jetpacks in their current state are unacceptable. They're anemic and unintuitive. Will a new player understand that jetting forward or backward makes you go HIGHER than jetting straight up? Will a new player understand that jamming on the jets makes you turn in tighter circles than just holding it down? Will a new player understand that your jets literally stop functioning at 72 kmh and start acting completely differently, like jetting you DOWN if you're falling fast enough? Will a new player not feel frustrated when he slips off a ledge for a split second but is unable to even come close to recovering and falls to his death, despite wearing a JETPACK? This issue is first because I believe its THE major issue. I believe the jet physics need to be completely gutted and reconstructed, with an actual drag model and not this "tiered" garbage. _________________ T:A Soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBAC1B18024809938&feature=view_all Tribes channel: http://www.youtube.com/tribesmovies555

When they improved the spinfusor speeds the game felt instantly better. I imagine if they make these tweaks to jetpacking in favor of control and speed it will be the same. Don't fear the speed. _________________ I can't coach desire. To support Holoflag game mode: http://forum.hirezstudios.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=313&t=59736&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

We could probably get a couple hundred $$.

I don't understand why they are so selective as to what constructive discussion they use. It simply makes no sense... I love the game but find it hard to play when I know in the back of my mind that these issues are apparently being ignored. HiRez isn't ignorant, they obviously know what people think about the aspects of the game the OP brought up AGAIN. It appears that they just don't care, which is very disheartening.

100% Agree with OP.

Especially this:

Quote:

Jet-packs
I think the entire forum agrees that the jetpacks in their current state are unacceptable. They're anemic and unintuitive. Will a new player understand that jetting forward or backward makes you go HIGHER than jetting straight up? Will a new player understand that jamming on the jets makes you turn in tighter circles than just holding it down? Will a new player understand that your jets literally stop functioning at 72 kmh and start acting completely differently, like jetting you DOWN if you're falling fast enough?
