Oh man I have good memories of playing Starsiege: Tribes LAN games on rollercoaster
So excited
This is some good shit tbh
[VGW]
They pretty much removed all the microtransactions and reduced the "classes" to 3 armor weight types just like the original games. I think I might reinstall just because there's nothing like Tribes CTF
BTW. This update was made by just 4 people of Hi-Rez who were sad at what the current state of Tribes Ascend was.

I believe it's also because Smite finally gave them enough funds to focus on other projects.
This patch and Paladins are the results so far.
I have to admit, I was highly skeptical of Hi-Rez even saying they were going to do this. I had quite a lot of ire for Hi-Rez after their treatment of Tribes.
They actually did it. They made Tribes good again. I've been playing the test versions of this and it's a lot of fun. It reminds me a lot of why I was playing Tribes Ascend to begin with and before they threw it all away. I'm not sure if Tribes Ascend can ever be as popular as it was before, but I really hope the game sees an uptick in player base with this. It deserves it. It's a lot of fun.
holy shit this is enough to save tribes imo

SANDRAKERS GET FUCKED I'M COMING HOME
they took out microtransactions but the people who bought stuff will be "refunded to their account"? like gold will be used for something else? i don't understand.
time to reinstall this game
Is this game worth playing if you're new?
ascend was the first tribes I played and it was fucking golden

Yes.
So I can't get the classic voice pack anymore? awwwww
[QUOTE=l337k1ll4;49289409]Yes.[/QUOTE]
alright
This is a fantastic place to start, but it's just gonna get dumpstered again if it doesn't start making money, and there's no reason to spend money in the update. There's a handful of ok skins but nothing encouraging me to buy them.
I hate microtransactions but this is a free to play game with no business model at the moment, it's not going to last or be big again if it doesn't have hi-rez's support rather than just the support of a couple passionate dudes doing it for the hell of it.

Just remember that you've gotta go fast.

honestly i think they should release server and masterlist software, would ensure the game lives on

Like Dirf said it's now just cosmetics items like skins and voices that you can purchase with gold.
Cosmetic microtransactions like voices and skins are still available to buy.

I installed it after they brought life into it a few months ago, this might just be enough to keep me from leaving again. We'll just have to see.
Wow, looks like they potentially made it [b]not[/b] a joke of a game anymore.
The removal of most microtransactions and simplification of the class system has my interest piqued.

I made this back in the day. Was my only time using Vegas, and it got a little messed up in the render.

Been so excited following this play tests, so very very happy to see this game recover. Hi-rez fucked it, and a so a small team of true fans within the company came together, simply out of the kindness of their heart and their own passion for the series, and fixed almost every problem the game had. So so very happy and grateful to the team, you don't hear of a lot of stories like this. So many games get put on the wayside and stay there forever.

Oh hey! I made the original version of that. Kinda cool that someone made this, I had no idea :v:
Like seriously some of my favorite memories of gaming come from summers playing Tribes 1 and Tribes 2. I played classic, but also all sorts of mods like that building mod... Construct I think it was called! And I'd call my friend on my parent's landline phone with a headset so we could play and talk to each other. Really awesome times.
Its really fucking good.
