glad to see the addition of the shocklance and underground generators. skiing and jet control are better too I'm starting to have some faith they can pull this off! I'm still not a fan of perks though. isaboo fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Jan 5, 2024 |

Playtest is live, but only 7v7 at the moment. Voice commands are in, including Shazbot!

The new ground control is pretty fun to play with, and hitting those midairs more easily feels good. The balance feels a bit off though, and matches feel small and limited with only 7v7 players and first to three caps instead of five. The new VGS system seems mostly useless, but my muscle memory is based on ascend's VGS system.

Crossposting since I just thought to look and see if there was a thread for this:Twenty Four posted:Tribes 1 holds a special place in my heart, my computer couldn't run 2 very well, never played Vengeance, and I actually really liked Ascend despite its shortcomings especially once some things got ironed out.

It's going to go into early access in February. Probably around 20$. I expect it to be a shitshow.

It owns actually. It's team rabbit 2 but with 2 active flags instead of just the 1. Lots of bugs though, so hopefully the patch they're pushing out this afternoon fixes those and I can get back to dunking bombs into the enemy base.

I only played 2 rounds, but it seems like the only way to defend your base from bombs is with a gun instead of a projectile weapon because attackers never need to touch the ground and guns in tribes are stupid

Hope the experience gets better, and appreciate those of you posting updates about the game. Wish I could pick it up now, but time is finite. edit to at least add some content: Ohtori Akio posted:sounds like a skill issue brother When Tribes 2 was out, I was still playing the occasional shooter. Nothing in any of those games was as satisfying as hitting someone flying between slopes with a well-timed disc. rojay fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Jan 31, 2024 |

The last couple patches have made it really easy to get midair hits, which kind of diminishes the satisfaction from them.

They backtracked on definitely having vehicles and 64 player maps. Boo

I don't think vehicles or 64 players were ever a serious consideration, they were always focused on a smaller scale with this iteration of tribes. If you just want to play tribes 2 again, you can just play tribes 2. What is notably missing from the early access announcement is the super fun small scale team rabbit 2 mode that was in previous playtests called honour ball. Sounds like the current plan from the developers is that they want to break out honour ball into a separate game they want to make, which I'm ambivalent about.

Psycho Society posted:want more tribes? maybe you should play tribes 2 This but unironically https://www.tribesnext.com/ It is a bit weird how some of the maps will have the flags for the 4 different tribes around the edge, but then they don't seem to entertain the idea of the different tribes existing as everyone is like some vague diamond sword looking player model. Who are the rivals? At least Tribes Ascend had distinct blood eagle vs diamond sword teams, with different style voice lines for each.

My only exposure to Tribes was Ascend and I learned many important things about it: I need lots of practice with the Spinfusor, almost nobody guards the base and generator, and Ascend's leveling grind and monetization were horrendous. I lost interest after Hi-Rez sharp turned to Smite and left Tribes to wither on the vine. I'll keep an eye on this and see if things turn out better. SHAZBOT.

This game had its early release happen today. In a pretty baffling choice, they made it so that you're forced to play your first 5 matches against bots. The lead developer said it's a good way to introduce new players... By having uncontested 5-0 wins that last less than 5 minutes, because they just consist of the few actual players in the matches llama grabbing the undefended flag and walking back to base with barely a scratch

My twitch muscles were already aged by that point, and I've never been good at learning maps in first-person shooters, but I could lay down some turrets and surprise people who didn't expect anyone to be playing defense. I wasn't an early adopter to Tribes but I had a lot of fun with it; mainly with friends but also in random games. I'd only rarely run into people spamming chat with racist stuff and sometimes other random players would thank me for playing defense/support. Hope this game turns out well.

 I want Tribes to be popular more than any other game, but I don't think the servers will still even be up by the time I got good again. I was going into Rivals skeptical after how Ascend ended, but I'm not about to get fooled again for a much worse version of the game.

It's only a worse version of the game if your main metrics for what makes a good tribes game is player count in matches and vehicles existing. If you care more about jetpacks, skiing, and capture the flag gameplay, then Rivals is an improvement over Ascend. Neither perspective is more valid than the other, I have my own obvious bias. The basis for the early access has some promise, but it's definitely still rough around the edges with some weird bugs here and there. Might be best to hold off for that "quality" patch at the end of the month. They'll probably still be running the nominal discount then. rojay posted:Can't speak to the experience with Ascend, but guarding the flag was most of what I did in Tribes 2.

As a primary capper secondary chaser, I love my HoF when I get one. If I'm feeling confident enough on my return with the enemy flag, I'll throw my HoF the flag to give them the cap they deserve for keeping things grounded at home.
