They are a compromise to HiRez right now. So instead of doing the compromise, just make the game as you want to earn money (although you really need to fix physics). But instead, give us a competitive mode. Where everyone is the same, even without different armor, different upgrades or loadouts. With no guns allowed, everyone holding only a spinfusor. gameplay like a pathfinder, but with 1200-1400 health (its better since with 900 health it doesnt matter if you do 2 direct hits or 2 near hits at the ground). The only thing i want are this awesome duels. Everyone should see that we cant convinve HiRez of changing the game, its a big risk for them. But i think a simple mode will be enough for us to be satisfied. Ascend does things right. I like the graphics, the medal system, the sounds. The gameplay is still good. But in case of physics and fairness it really lays far behind previous tribes.

Everone should be the same and should pick up the weapons and armor he wants to. in this case a armor rework is neccesary. You can equipp different armor pieces, for example heavy Outfit (consist of different pieces for legs, feets, etc.), but Medium shoulders, helm and Medium Weapons. Both, Weapons and Armor should affect your movement (weight). Heavier armor of course gives you more health. Armor pieces can be optically upgraded with gold (this replaces skins), but everyone should have it from beginning. you start with some standard weapons (Spinfusor, rifle, mortar, pistol) but still can buy all other weapons. Of cousre noskill stuff like mines, turrets, should be removed. Stealth should be removed. All bullet weapons (rifle (sniper too), pistol, shotgun) should do less damage and only work under 10% (for example). its less skill because you cannot evade them like fursors, mortars. as logic reason just say armor blocks all bullets until it is weakened. Improve the speed gain from slow speeds generally, this makes chasing more easy than if you need 1 min to get the cappers speed. U can use jetpack for forward boost while skiing. Maybe ill add some points later. All this would mean more diversity, more freedom and more skill for the game. Flame, I dont care for you. But if you want to discuss, I'm willing to respond. Will never happen.
