Will you be playing?
Already tried it, the game is still shit.
Are you going to do this every night?
Do I need to post in every thread why the 'push to live' signals the all is lost moment?
No?
Then enjoy your T2 reddit circle jerk.

By still shit do you mean you never liked it, or that the changes weren't enough to fix what HiRez had broken?
I like the loadout changes, now it just needs better maps.
Bring back map variations from beta. Doesn't even need to replace the revised versions.
>>319717240
What? This is the first time I posted a thread about Tribes since like, 2012.
What happened? I remember Tribes being thought of pretty fondly until HiRez fucked it up.
Remember that scene in social network where lex luthor is talking about falling dominos and stuff? When someone left your product, its much harder to get them back. That's Tribes Ascend for me, I have no desire to ever come back, despite having a ton of fun with it when it was still good.

Shazbowl fucked /v/ by being the tipping point of attention that caused the rest of the internet to come here.
For once, someone saying reddit circlejerk isn't arbitrary retardation.
i played some of it earlier but didnt have enough time to really identify all the changes. a lot more people playing which is good at least.
>>319716953
God I missed this game, but holy fuck do I suck or what. Deez niggas be sniping me with a rifle while they're flying though the air, and I can barely hit a ground target with the largest explosion in the game.
Truly 4chan is the worst site to advertise good games/developers, you guys are the ISIS of all boards.
Speed cap isn't removed, so no, I won't be playing.
That, and the changes suck.
>No earning shit
>No classes
What's the point

Aloha Snackbar
>>319717836
Every month I hear a new "and THIS is when it all went to shit"
>>319718364
I know that feel, I fucking suck now. I can barely ski properly.
>>319718739
>No earning shit
Fuck you, you little shit. You don't need to be rewarded with fake money after every game just to make you feel like you accomplished something.
>>319718739
>What's the point
To have fun? Are you honestly arguing for grinding as a good thing? Do you want to grind enemies in mario before you can unlock the fire flower?
>>319718739
>What's the point
Fuck off back to lel
>>319716953
They shit on the playerbase for years and expect players to come back? Fuck no
I can't do it. I don't want to get burned again.
He has nice teeth.

Speaking of them dumping their games, didn't they announce another MOBA even though they already have SMITE which should still be in development?
RIP Global Agenda
RIP Tribes: Ascend
Eh SMITE

Paladins is not a moba, it looks like a TF2/Overwatch clone.
It also looks like shit. The sooner they can get to TA2 the better. Either that or Paladins tanks and they're forced to sell the Tribes IP toValve.
>>319721650
>valve
i can see it now. crates, keys, microtransctions, trading, and achievement_idle servers as far as the eye can go. no actual game in sight.
>>319721650
>sell the Tribes IP to Valve
pls no, then we'd have to suffer through the awful Source engine.
>>319721650
>It also looks like shit. The sooner they can get to TA2 the better.
I think I remember them stating (in 2013 or 2014) that they were planning to make a Global Agenda 2.
>Either that or Paladins tanks and they're forced to sell the Tribes IP to Valve
I'd take anyone, even Valve, so long as Hi-Rez fucked off.
>>319721810
just like dota 2
>>319721832
what other developer would be a good fit then?
>>319718739
>>No earning shit
You are what is wrong with the current state of FPS gaming. Why does every game need level systems with unlocks? Rainbow Six 3 had more weapons, attachments, and equipment variety than most CoD games, and it was all "unlocked" from the start. Eat shit, faggot
>>319721920
>just like dota 2
yes, exactly. that isn't a good thing.
>>319722646
Why isn't it a good thing? Dota 2 doesn't have a single purchase that can affect gameplay to my knowledge. Its all just hats and bullshit.
>>319721832
>a tribes game on source engine
>>319722732
>Its all just hats and bullshit.
exactly.
never played tribes before
is it fun?
>>319722885
Why are you showing me an image of a TF2 server browser when we were talking about Dota 2? There's no idle servers in Dota.
>>319722928
Its worth downloading, its a very unique movement system for an FPS.
At least they're trying to unfuck it but they shouldn't have jewed it out in the first place desu
>>319721920
Epic Games dummy
>still uses a launcher to download everything
>still needs an account
Just make it a steam game god damn it devs.
>>319723410
It is on steam, friendo.
>>319716953
>>all unlocks are now free for all players
Does this mean that there is no need to buy or grind to unlock shit, or is it "free" as in you don't pay money you pay grind time.
>>319723242
A shame they just announced moba #632
>>319723410
>>319723520
Wait I'm stupid and figured out what you meant, my apologies
>>319723562
You don't grind anything. There isn't anything to purchase with the XP.
>>319723410
yes please force steam on even more people. we definitely need this.
>>319716953
When do i get my gold refunds tho?
>>319723665
So everything is just unlocked.
That sounds great!
I hate the current trend of multiplayer games being all about grinding for stuff that should be part of the core gameplay.
Gonna give the game try after a long time away.
>>319723908
The gold is refunded in game. They're not giving people money back, they're just resetting everyone's accounts so you can spend it how you want.
>>319723732
I'm sorry that Steam is super convenient for me. It's a lot easier to have one account than have one for each game.
>Games launcher still forces you to install some 3rd party programs
Can you not
>>319724312
Yup, this is exactly why I'm not downloading Tribes again.
They need to fix this shit.
>>319716953
oh god yes
