IMO Visor cracking should be gradual, in the first couple of levels it doesn't happen, and level 8 or or so shaking starts up but is minor, just to show Players that a new mechanic is being introduced, and at 15ish, introduce it in full, but only have it for explosive weapons. _________________

there is a huge difference in skill. I would souggest that there should be a server from lv 6 to 12,
after that level it is okay to play with the top players.

The game industry needs to stop pandering to noobs.

Alternatively you can wait for ranked play patch, which may be in less than a week if we are lucky.

Re: Why I'm probably going to leave.

This is one of those games that you can enjoy because it takes a while to get "good". While normal games you can pick up on in a day, the very movement in tribes is a skill in itself compared to most other shooters these days. Combine that with the other game play mechanics this is not an easy to learn game.

It's fun to learn, It's fun to get good because you can look back and see how much better you've become.

Re: Why I'm probably going to leave.

OP +1 (except VOIP, we know HiRez has said they're not doing it, and frankly there are many good 3rd pt solutions)
Just VGS needs more CTF-centered lines.

Many issues which I'm not sure if Hi Rez is acknowledging or working on.
Hopefully they're working on them.

Also, I've been playing since T1, so I've loved playing T:A (apart from some annoying non-CTF team play and microfreezing), so I'm not sure how to encourage you, apart from it's the most rewarding franchise ever (probably cos the skill curve is pretty much unlimited). I noobed T:A for a bit (I blame the auto's - not used to using or getting pwned by them) although I enjoyed it, and am now decent.
