Saw it on mmobomb a little bit ago and am now downloading the PTS. Here's the link to the reddit page

 

https://www.reddit.com/r/tribes/#dm

 

which is being used as forums. And a link to the mmobomb article because I'm grateful for the news

 

http://www.mmobomb.c...-tribes-ascend/

 

Having checked out the patch notes, I'm really looking forward to playing again. Looks like a lot of the suggestions from Tribes "old timers" are finally being implemented. First Hawken gets res'd, now this. Yay  :thumbsup:

It looks very confusing difficult to me :teehee:

Edit: It keeps saying "Maybe you are a robot" when I try to log-in.

Damned disabled scripts.

Treat them with honour, my Brothers.

Not because they will bring us victory this day,

but because their fate will one day be ours.

I hope they're doing this to reanimate Tribes Ascend. Not because Smite recently hit steam, and their new fps is in development.

 

Imho it would be great if HiRez sold Tribes IP to someone else. They already stated that Tribes wasn't making money, so they abandoned it and made Smite. Wonder what are their plans for (tribes) future.

 

Ok, enough with nostalgic shite, gotta go fast once again.

Yeah, if Unreal Tournament only allowed movement in straight, easy to predict lines.

I recall hearing that the community was exceptionally salty about and around the time of the cessation of development 2(?) years ago. Curious to see if the devs get any flak on return or if the vitriol has died down since then.

Tribes: Ascend never had a particularly large community.  Competitively, it was comparable to Hawken: a small number of teams, and an even smaller number of teams vying for top positions.  Now, Tribes players have always been particularly vocal (read: whiny), so I'm certain they were vocal about Hi-rez's abandonment.  Then again, they've been complaining about everything Tribes related since Tribes 1.  Tbh, I doubt anybody noticed.

The game industry as a whole seems to be saying "GUYS WERE DOING ARENA SHOOTERS NOW" so I bet they're just looking for the gravy train.

Rofl, but the consumers are totally not "DOING ARENA SHOOTERS NOW". Ain't no gravy train. The industry is not very smart about picking up trends imo though.

I felt a sort of calling to post here, might have something to do with my avatar, dunno though.

 

*Sigh* I am debating going back to it, I did have a lot of fun back in the day, but its Hi-Rez they abandoned it once and they will probably do it again. Will just cause more needless disappointment and frustration.
