Jehde posted:Both BE and DS seemed like a bunch of dorks. I have no idea what the other tribes are like though, as an Ascend baby. The Children of Phoenix are the people who followed Mark Hamill out into unexplored space. His brother, Emperor Mark Hamill ordered the Imperial Knights to chase him down where they became the Blood Eagles. The other two Tribes splintered off from the first two to pursue their own interests; Diamond Sword to become bigger weeaboos, and Starwolf to become bigger furries. 7c Nickel fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Dec 10, 2023 |

I thought this was going to be lovely when I heard 5v5 but it was actually really good, the 12v12 was more fun though. I missed Tribes. Right now this felt like kind of a mix between T1 and Ascend, we'll see where it goes.

I ended up playing a bit in this playtest again, spent most of the time 12v12 and it was a blast. I'm pretty drat hyped. My favorite Tribes game was T2 so I'm really hoping they carry over some of those playmodes/vehicles.

The game is fun. Got on comms with a guy who taught me how to be an rear end in a top hat of a heavy with mines, a bubble shield, and moving the flag under the base next to the generator

Tribes 2 was the last shooter/action game in which I was good enough to have fun and be a decent teammate, though not necessarily at the same time. What a fantastic game.

Were Vengeance and Ascend so poorly received that these guys can be like “No, THIS is Tribes 3”? I remember Vengeance had smaller maps, but it also had a fun grappling hook.

Vengeance definitely had an air of “Not a REAL Tribes” response at the time, though I think people were unfair about it and its skiing might even be better than Ascend’s. Ascend did really well initially and then had long content and patch droughts, which is rough since it was definitively placed as a live service game. The dogshit monetization of Ascend didn’t help either and by the time they finally introduced their “Here’s everything for $20” option it was already way too late.

I gave Vengeance a try because of the Rivals playtest and the movement is really good. Idk about better than Ascend but definitely better than Rivals. That campaign though…

Ascend has a really crisp smoothness to its skiing and the sense of speed is pretty much perfect. Vengeance has this almost chunky weightiness to it, kind of like they took 2’s skiing and just made it look good instead of like a glitch. They’re both great but I think my money is on Vengeance just a bit. It’s been ages since I tried the campaign but what memories I do have of it are not fond.

There’s this whole weirdly ambitious (bad) story about how the imperial princess gets abducted on a tribal world and her rough and ready tribal abductor teaches her to ski (clear sign of true love). Then fast forward 20 years and you play as their mixed race daughter who is extremely racist and just wants to not sure the world was ready for a Tribes campaign tbh. Certainly not with 2004 tech

That's some Tribes alright. Little slower than Ascend it seems like and I still think some of the Ascend weapon balance and the added hitscan guns are a bit off but it's a really good foundation.

I'll be honest, I love grappling hooks and wish they were in every game.

Having quite a bit of lag issues this patch, rubberbanding while skiing is pretty jarring. I did manage to score a hat trick though

My big concern for this one would be speed and movement, especially when HiRez was nerfing speed and any new metas as soon as people started doing it in Ascend.

I saw a trick in the discord that if you release the ski button when not actually skiing on the downs and flats that it will improve your flight and it absolutely does. Lights feel a lot better now now that I know what I’m doing.

I wish they’d run the tests for a little longer and on a night when I don’t have to close.

Two important questions to all goons who have played, is there a fusion mortar and does it gib everything but heavies with a direct hit? God I love the mortar in Tribes, that feel when you nail someone with that green basketball at 200m with your flag.
