After 2 years of silence Hi-Rez just announced a new patch that will bump the game to version 1.1 Hi-rez has pushed the 1.1 patch to the live servers as of December 10th. If you're wondering if Tribes: Ascend is the game for you, now is the time to give it a try as player numbers will be at an all time high. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt9NGBCME9g Patch Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yzN7KdUn0mFrZGHjcM8CUMSy8aV-WzYlu3NB3hyo760/pub Patch Notes posted:New CTF Maps: Amstrad fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Dec 10, 2015 |

I'm glad that they're reviving this (I felt like it was a good product that shouldn't have been abandoned to begin with) but I'm not sure if I'm going to like the removal of the distinct classes. I liked the defined roles.

Sorry but I've been hurt too many times before.

There's no way this isn't too little too late, but maybe the game'll be playable for a couple months before HiRez decides enough people aren't playing the patch and pulls the plug again.

Does using your jetpack when falling quicker than a certain speed still make you fall even faster due to weird math in the backend?

gently caress you hi-rez. You killed this game so long ago.

Are there any physics changes...? The real reason the game sucked was that if you weren't practicing routes constantly capping was impossible but if you had them down actually stopping a cap was similarly impossible. If they don't fix that this is pointless to the point of being kinda sad. e: like I'm kind of underselling it, if you were a really good capper and there wasn't a good sniper + capper on the other team the round is basically a formality and you are guaranteed to win Chillgamesh fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Sep 9, 2015 |

And you're blowing that out of proportion, a solid defense was hard to crack, but public games were full of shitters who just wanted to play halo in the midfield all game so you hardly saw it.

Everything is up for grabs. They are pretty much re-tooling this game with the old T:A assets. Also comes complete with all its old physic problems, but I guess the best way to look at what HiRez are doing his is what Capcom do with Street Fighter games. Think of this as Super Tribes Ascend? Also, I don't know how I feel about removing the speed cap. I know for a fact that a lot of comp level cappers would love to go back explore some completely unhinged cap routes on Katabatic now that the game has been thoroughly dissected. Just remember, even if this thing fails guys, there's always Midair.

I want this to be good, expect this to be bad, but will probably enjoy a month of playing tribes on full servers so there is that.

Will probably get abandoned by hi-rez again but goddamn I still love this game.

Yeah don't give Hi-Rez a cent; in fact even though I liked the game and played it almost non stop for an entire summer I don't think I'm even going to play it again because gently caress them for ditching it for their lovely moba

they should lay off everyone at daybreak and then sell off the IPs to other companies and just go on with their day

If only you'd supported Tribes and PS2 with more money, they wouldn't be dead.

Ascend had like the most confusing development cycle. Hi-rez were by far the best devs I've seen when it came to how they handled everything up until like, the infiltrator update when they took a 180 turn. Early alpha/beta, they listened to the community when it came to changes, took out hit-scan for projectile ballistics, raised the speed cap, focused on large map development, and every time they changed anything with how the classes worked they refunded you anything you'd spent on the game till then. It was loving crazy.

If we are able to make any money from it, that is great -- but it is not our expectation going in. There is a group of us that still love playing the game regularly -- and we want to leave the game in a better state than it is now, and provide something that all of us can keep playing for years to come.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I know I shouldn't be fooled again but it's Tribes and I want it to exist.
