So I've been playing this playtest for a few weeks and I still cant figure it out. There are all these things I used to spend 90% of my time doing in T1, T2, and TA and all these basic important features I used to use all the time and I cant find any of them. I don't know if my game is broken or the game is still mostly unfinished even as an early access or if I'm just an idiot. Please help me with instructions for the following:
- How do I initiate a kick vote to get someone out of the match quickly? I dont want to wait for "report".
- Where is the list of all the servers/matches going on? If nothing else, this one feature is super important to me. I need to be able to select which server to join, find my friends/regulars, rejoin disconnected matches, see what map is being played, how much time is left, what the score is, how many players there are, how many bots are playing, etc. I dont want to just join a random server.
- How do I start the game offline so I can still enjoy it when I don't have 24/7 internet service? Right now if Im offline I'm just stuck at a login screen. That would prevent me from being able to launch any of the single players functions when offline.
- How do I play campaign mode or training mode?
- How do I host my own game on the master server with custom physics and stuff?
- How do I host a server on my local machine or my LAN?
- How do I use dlss graphics? The graphics are pretty demanding at 4k and I was hoping I could use this so I don't have to spend $1K on a new gpu.
- How do I use the map editor?
- How do I publish/host a game modification with custom weapons, maps, and nuclear bombs?
- Where is the code tab/~ console where I see debug info, enter computer commands, directly join a server/ip, send a message directly to a player, initiate a vote, etc?
- How do I send a message to my team?
- How do I use the laser pointer gun?
- How do I fire an orbital strike?
- How do I take control of a base turret manually?
- Where is the vehicle pad? How do I ride a vehicle or bomb the base?
- How do I play the other game modes like rabbit, bombing run, arena, and deathmatch?
- How do I deploy a base wall, forcefield, inventory station, emp turret etc?
- How do I see who the bots are, or join a game without bots?
- How do I leave the bounds? One great thing about the tribes games I loved was how big and expansive the maps were and you could usually leave even whatever "grid boundaries" were there. But now I seem to run into this invisible wall above at a very short distance, above some sort of stadium thing. Am I supposed to find a door/tunnel inside the walls like football stadium? Or are there going to be other modes/patches where this wall is turned off?
- Where do I see the stats of how fast I went and who made the fastest flag grab at what speed?
- How do I get the game to work with my firewall on? Right now all I can do it completely turn off my firewall and make my PC insecure. Is there some kind of exception or port Im supposed to add?
- How do I bind the key that both jumps and skis on the same key? I'm not used to having to use two different keys and its hard.
I dont know what happened but it's like I suddenly cant figure out how to do anything. The functionality I seem to have available to me makes the game seem like this hollow shell that faintly resembles tribes but is missing 90% of the features of tribes or even any fps ive ever played. I'm about to give up. I guess this game is for those new genz kids who know how to use computers and stuff.
