Holding on purchasing Tribes 3 Holding on purchasing Tribes 3 After doing some research on Prophecy games, Starsiege Deadzone, the lack of a roadmap or plans for building up Tribes 3 Rivals, and the way the company is banning community that speaks up, I am holding my money for at least 3 months in early access. I sat down today to play the latest play test and now it appears that cheap AI artwork has been added to the banners as achievements for leveling up. It doesn't match the art style of the series or the feel of the game. It's the last straw and makes me feel uncomfortable with giving this company my money. Deadzone was previewed in the 2023 Steam's summer next fest with some hype. But they dropped it after a few months of making money on it and now we have tribes 3 following the exact same release path. Watching videos on the game, you can see they reused art and model assets from Deadzone in Tribes 3. I am very afraid that they plan to make a quick buck on this game and drop it for their darling Honorball idea. I am putting this out there in the ether to remind myself in three months to check back in on the game. I hope I am wrong and there is a beautiful community of players skiing around in new fun maps, game modes and inventory stations. And not a desolate bot filled soulless abandon-ware that corrupts the Tribes name. View Reddit by ddm200k - View Source by ddm200k

Any Old Heads Coming Back For Tribes 3? Any Old Heads Coming Back For Tribes 3? Tribes and Tribes 2 played a huge part of my teen years. Great games and memories. If anyone remembers the old Gamespy network of “planet” websites I used to write articles for Planet Tribes or whatever it was called. At my age I play slower games these days like Dota but am planning to check this out. Not so sure I will be able to own the server anymore though lol.

Questions/help needed on figuring out how to play Tribes 3 Questions/help needed on figuring out how to play Tribes 3 So I've been playing this playtest for a few weeks and I still cant figure it out. There are all these things I used to spend 90% of my time doing in T1, T2, and TA and all these basic important features I used to use all the time and I cant find any of them. I don't know if my game is broken or the game is still mostly unfinished even as an early access or if I'm just an idiot. Please help me with instructions for the following: How do I initiate a kick vote to get someone out of the match quickly? I dont want to wait for "report". Where is the list of all the servers/matches going on? If nothing else, this one feature is super important to me. I need to be able to select which server to join, find my friends/regulars, rejoin disconnected matches, see what map is being played, how much time is left, what the score is, how many players there are, how many bots are playing, etc. I dont want to just join a random server. How do I start the game offline so I can still enjoy it when I don't have 24/7 internet service? Right now if Im offline I'm just stuck at a login screen. That would prevent me from being able to launch any of the single players functions when offline. How do I play campaign mode or training mode? How do I host my own game on the master server with custom physics and stuff? How do I host a server on my local machine or my LAN? How do I use dlss graphics? The graphics are pretty demanding at 4k and I was hoping I could use this so I don't have to spend $1K on a new gpu. How do I use the map editor? How do I publish/host a game modification with custom weapons, maps, and nuclear bombs? Where is the code tab/~ console where I see debug info, enter computer commands, directly join a server/ip, send a message directly to a player, initiate a vote, etc? How do I send a message to my team? How do I use the laser pointer gun? How do I fire an orbital strike? How do I take control of a base turret manually? Where is the vehicle pad? How do I ride a vehicle or bomb the base? How do I play the other game modes like rabbit, bombing run, arena, and deathmatch? How do I deploy a base wall, forcefield, inventory station, emp turret etc? How do I see who the bots are, or join a game without bots? How do I leave the bounds? One great thing about the tribes games I loved was how big and expansive the maps were and you could usually leave even whatever "grid boundaries" were there. But now I seem to run into this invisible wall above at a very short distance, above some sort of stadium thing. Am I supposed to find a door/tunnel inside the walls like football stadium? Or are there going to be other modes/patches where this wall is turned off? Where do I see the stats of how fast I went and who made the fastest flag grab at what speed? How do I get the game to work with my firewall on? Right now all I can do it completely turn off my firewall and make my PC insecure. Is there some kind of exception or port Im supposed to add? How do I bind the key that both jumps and skis on the same key? I'm not used to having to use two different keys and its hard. I dont know what happened but it's like I suddenly cant figure out how to do anything. The functionality I seem to have available to me makes the game seem like this hollow shell that faintly resembles tribes but is missing 90% of the features of tribes or even any fps ive ever played. I'm about to give up. I guess this game is for those new genz kids who know how to use computers and stuff. View Reddit by tesseramous - View Source by tesseramous

it’s ok to be happy it's ok to be happy tribes 1, 2 & 3 player here, complete with potent nostalgic feels about playing T1 in 1998 nothing will ever measure up to the nostalgia of your youth, but it's ok to be happy and enjoy things T3 is a ton of fun. the playtests have been amazing. sometimes it seems like no one hates tribes more than tribes fans. but you don't have to be like that! T3 doesn't have every facet of every previous entry you enjoyed? still tons of fun in the unique and awesome skiing, capping, projectile weapon wielding, midair-ing style of tribes T:A was a F2P boondoggle that ended poorly 11 years ago? T3 is still tons of fun in the unique and awesome skiing, capping, projectile weapon wielding, midair-ing style of tribes come ski around, cap flags and nail some midairs with us on EA launch day. we'll be having fun, and you can too if you allow yourself!

I emailed irdeto regarding concerns about Denuvo anti-cheat and they replied I emailed irdeto regarding concerns about Denuvo anti-cheat and they replied This is my original email to them: https://imgur.com/a/uyDTa21 Below is a copy and paste of what I pasted on the T3 discord regarding their reply. I've had at least one comment deleted from the discord so I'll be sharing here as well. I thought I had finished engaging on this topic, but to my considerable surprise, irdeto replied to the email I sent them outlining the concerns I have with their anti-cheat. The fact that I got a response at all is a bit encouraging. The responses are.... vague in most cases, but probably necessarily so. But they are more than I expected and a good faith response to my concerns. Unfortunately I'm on the road at the moment, and cannot post my original email or the response, but as soon as I can (likely tomorrow morning) I'll post what I asked. Before I post the response, I'd like to explicitly get permission from the individual who replied that I can publicly post it, so that is a bit reliant on how quickly they respond. Generally speaking, though, one thing that did stand out, is that it is a lot more flexible than I thought it would be. Which is great to know, but it leaves the specific answers to some questions to Prophecy and what they decide to enable and share. Given that they haven't replied to Higgins' thread about Linux is not encouraging. This doesn't get around the fact that it is still a kernel level product, which I still have reservations about. And it's disappointing that Prophecy made no response to the same questions when asked here. For me, the kernel mode issues still exist but now it's more about the EULA terms and how Prophecy has engaged with the topic. Locking the 29-feb feedback thread was wholly unnecessary, especially considering the 22-feb thread is not locked. The 29th thread was dying anyway.

Hello, just rediscovered this game, is the multiplayer still a thing or would I have to play the campaign of Tribes: Vengence. Hello, just rediscovered this game, is the multiplayer still a thing or would I have to play the campaign of Tribes: Vengence. So I use to go over my grandparents when I was very young, and sit and watch my pop pop play this disc shooting game where he jumped around and captured shit. He tried to teach me but I was too stupid and young at the time lol. He use to have a smaller computer for me and my brother to play elf bowling while we watched him play Tribes. This game will always have a special place in my heart even tho I’ve never really played it. He’s passed now and I still think about this game ever so often, and just got a pc. The multiplayer looked sick I wanted to play it so bad lmao. View Reddit by Theglizzatron - View Source by theglizzatron

Tribes MMORPG? Tribes MMORPG? What kind of potential do you think Tribes would have as a sort of MMORPG? Regions of actual tribes battling for planetary dominance. Seasons would separate different galaxies, as to "reset" every season. Planetary dominance- planets set up into battlefields and other points of interest. You join the fight, you maintain/destroy defenses, basically a match plays out. Afterward, you move to a new region. Maybe large areas can be spanned by vehicles? large APCs and other smaller 1-2 person high speed vehicles, claiming check points in a large scale land-grab. Capture the flag and other arena type battles can be part of their tribal customs and traditions, which would incorporate the more arcade style stuff into the larger world. Riff on this, does this idea make it feel more "Tribes" ? View Reddit by Xalphyzar - View Source by xalphyzar

Idk guys, do you think it’s a small minority? Idk guys, do you think it's a small minority? Personally? I think this game needs to be boycotted. The major lack of content and rushed EA is the main reason (newcomers will have no base or vehicle play to chill with, game lacks so much variety it's to the point of being barebones). But the Denuvo AC is the tipping point. View Reddit by HeGotDaShrimp - View Source by hegotdashrimpBack to top button- 1

OG returning player thoughts and comments OG returning player thoughts and comments I used to play the original Tribes non-stop (NHOP servers a lot), and many others. Was an unhealthy addiction. I played some of the other games, but the original mods on Starsiege Tribes were just out of this world for the era and modern games still haven't caught up to the complexity of engineer classes and real base building. They need to bring these games into a more Palworld type mode or Fortnite with base building (something Tribes pioneered). Instead, this latest installment fells more like trying to be a Quake or some other more sluggish FPS. Immediately out of the gate I felt like I weighed a million pounds - the super short flight from the jetpack also makes it feel less like Tribes, imo - and it isn't easy to quantify but the entirety of the movement and shooting feels "bulky". I would immediately increase the jetpacks times a billion and make everybody move a lot faster. In the OG Tribes you would see a big empty space and it was exciting. This feels more like a slog and "oh, I have to go all the way over there?". The only part of the game this improves is the duels in general as they feel much more impactful and have more weight behind them, but it is such a small improvement for a major negative by ignoring how much more fluid games have become. I should be able to build an auto laser turret and another current of Vulcan to sit in, with blast walls and force fields deployed all around me and the generator in my sky base. This is a far cry from that, it is like Great Value brand Tribes... Decades later. Larger games, hate them or love them, might also be an improvement but why can't I fly vehicles with the homies and drop flares and mortars? It just doesn't feel right. If this was a mobile shooter that was just 'Tribes themed', it would make more sense. I was hoping for improvements on stuff modders figured out people were craving many years ago, rather than a step backwards towards less actual content and functionality in general. The sluggishness of everything is just the cherry on top. I still might spin through a few CTF games, this isn't horrible, but it isn't what I was wanting after all this time. I wasn't even disappointed in T2, it kept many of the core Tribes elements intact. Why couldn't this have at least done that? It feels more like Counterstrike or something overall. The bases don't really feel like bases. I want Broadside. View Reddit by saintpetejackboy - View Source by saintpetejackboy

New player perspective New player perspective this is easily one of the most miserable gaming subs I’ve ever joined. Like all I’m ever reading on here is people bashing the game and now so much salt that it’s not going f2p. Lol bruh I payed $20 for starship troopers extermination EA and got bored after playing 50 hrs, don’t regret it got my moneys worth. $40-60 is just the current rate of a 80-100hr single player campaign. I’m sorry it isn’t the ideal remake of what you played twenty years ago but the arena fps pvp genre is basically nonexistent nowadays. I’ve been enjoying the unique style this brings and it’s also been awesome to enjoy a game with a high skill ceiling that isn’t a complete sweat-fest like every other fps game I play.
