First off... as many old Tribes player may already feel... That new tribes... will probably NOT feel like Tribes. It may share the same title, but it will not be the same game. Many of us have been let down enough times since the originals release. so we will not quickly... all rush out the door.... to it.
There are not many games out there like Tribes or Legions.... except.... Tribes and Legions. I personally have never found a game just like them.
So when you have ONE game... that can only be truly compared to ONE game... its hard not to compare them.
I personally believe the players coming from Tribes have more experience about what can or can not work in Legions... or at least a better basic understanding.
Legions was even called "The Spiritual successor" of tribes. Now a Successor (Legions) is a person "Who takes over the obligations and/or rights of another (the predecessor(Tribes)). So many people coming from Tribes, can find it hard to swallow that the "Spiritual successor" is not succeeding much more than the basics of tribes.(personal preference of different players... I am not speaking for the entire tribes community that migrated here over time at all!)
I do not believe many old Tribes players want a "rinse and repeat" of Tribes. It will not realistically work, Tribes has been done already. But that does not mean some of the ideas that worked EXTREMELY well in tribes cannot work in legions. Maybe some of the people who have a problem with this should do as what others are suggesting.. instead of posting... go play tribes for more than a day. it takes more than 5 hours of game play to fully appreciate the game's "simple complexity".
Legions is good as it is right now. It's a lot of fun, and I enjoy it very much. But I believe if we fuse it with some of the more popular ideas from Tribes... We could make it an even greater game.
DISCLAIMER: to any devs that may read this. I am not saying you're not doing hard enough work or anything like that, I fully understand that the game is in beta and you plan to add more things as time goes on, and it can take a lot of time for these changes to take effect. And honestly I feel all of you are doing a terrific job. Many props to you.
