Tribes assend is showing us the way

Shrikes are pretty good for suiciding into the flag carrier, haha.

I feel like most games have a Heavy on Flag now. I played some Doombringer HoF the other day. It was fun.

The main thing I am practicing is using pathfinder as a flag chaser, and trying to use the impact nitrons to make them fumble the flag.

New patch out today, what i really like is the efficiency and didication of the dev team for tribes, week on week there have been new patches drastically improving gameplay, today an after match chat option has been added aswell as an option to reduce weapon model size, and introduced a new game type.

Just really nice seeing really responsive patching, taking direct feedback from the forums and already adding features many released games lack, all while still in closed beta

I have to admit I was worried I was going to appear in that video getting owned by TotalBiscuit, he landed a good few kills on me on Kata a couple of weeks ago and I thought I was destined to appear in one of his vids. Thankfully my 'fusor skills and reputation are secure! :slight_smile:

:stuck_out_tongue: haha, thats what i always think! half the kills in this game are so epic your sure someone will have filmed your spectacular demise xD

I got hit from the other side of the map, while midair with a fusion mortar…if that guy was recording thats going in a video :tongue:


(light_sh4v0r) #87

Why didn’t anyone give me a key yet? I want to play Tribes :tongue:


(Apoc) #88

:slight_smile: i only get new keys after the 3 get activated, i think apples and inferno are yet to activate theirs yet, hence the lack of new keys xD Im not picking on you :stuck_out_tongue: I’ll see if zernok has any more knocking about.


(light_sh4v0r) #89

Apples, Inferno, you heard the guy :slight_smile:


(Apoc) #90

Light, Jopjop, Slade05, Diablo85 Just sent you all keys. Turns out zernok had 4 knocking about. Suho you are next on the list :slight_smile:

I have to say the last patch really broke the game.
I’ve noticed 3 times more terrain glitches than before tho i now rarely spot dead stops, only full vertical.
In just 30min of trying to play today i’ve had 4 crashes. First when i went into game and joined a queue, it started loading but dropped out. The screen was still the loading screen but menu music was playing and i could navigate it with mouse and hear the clicks.
Then i join a game, play some 10min, decide to alt tab then back to game, but it’s not going back anymore. I did this successfully before the patch millions of times.
Next game i load i get in, play, then it drops out saying it lost connection and puts me to login screen. I press log in but nothing happens, it froze.
Yet another time i start the game, join a match, play some time. This time the ati driver stops working and game crashes as well.

Anyone else noticing such behavior lately?


(light_sh4v0r) #93

I just played for 2 hours straight without issues at all. Some strangeish terrain behaviour at times, but I put that down to my inexperience with the game and maps for now. I had a proper blast, getting significantly better at it already. Thumper is my favourite gun atm, because of the high damage and quick travel time I find it easier to use than a spinfusor.
The server crashed just after Murka joined (Maybe it’s you who is breaking the game for everyone else :D), but I have a feeling that was my fault. I was skiing at silly speed OOB, when suddenly I turned around, everyone but me on the server died from suicide and the server disconnected xD.

I’ll certainly be playing this more though, it’s really good fun. Moreso when the server isn’t completely full imo. Not exactly sure what the numbers are, but 8v8 seems about right.


(tokamak) #94

Can I has one?


(jopjop) #95

Apoc: Thank yoooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!! Installing nao :slight_smile: see you there hopefully… the game looks so nice :O~~

I think you were really unlucky xD Servers went down for a little while at one point (although was scheduled, message flashed up in game saying they were going down in 15 mins), then i think there were a couple of disconnects after associated with the restarting of them all. I think you may have joined exactly when they were down, then got hit by them going back up xD


(suho) #97

Can’t wait to get my hands on the game, thx in advance. Im off revisiting Brink now since there is more than 3k playing right.


(VG_JUNKY) #98

I would be interested in having a key :slight_smile:
I want to try this game, it looks soo sweet :cool:


(murka) #99

Yeah i guess i was unlucky at that one point. Also the ati driver failure was due to too much overclock. Will see about the terrain bugs as it’s possible that playing on 200-400 ping servers caused it.


(tokamak) #100

No matter how I try I can’t get myself logged in.
