      :: Tribes-esque Project – We need you! Tribes-esque Project - We need you! Hello Imperials, Blood Eagles, and Diamond Swords. (Ok thats a bit RP heavy. ;) ) So, In the light of Tribes 3 and the rough stage the whole franchise is in, many of us are ticked, bothered, and even may like Tribes 3 and the way its going. Either way, If something doesn't feel right and you cant change it... You can, however, Make your own. So, thats what we're doing. You guys have seen the project Midair which is a great project and I have the utmost respect for those guys, and they're are doing great work (Check it out if you haven't) However, we are looking at something a bit different. We want to build a game, and we are going to shoot for it. That pays homage to the original Starsiege: Tribes, with elements from the rest of the franchise. (We intend to allow modding, customization, vehicles, etc) UE5.3, A Game in the vision of what Tribes SHOULD be, built by the community with the voice of the community in hand. and a focus on a strong balance of the original, with newer graphics, physics, and more. This is a brand new and fresh idea. I'm sure you guys have seen my posts in here and my frustration across the board with the direction tribes has been going. So we figured "Hey, what the hell, lets do something about it" Some initial points we need. We have some already as well. Discord Mods/Community Managers UE5 Devs Graphic Design Project Managers Web Admin/Forum Admin Sound Engineers/Creators YOUR VOICE even if you don't have these skills. ​ (This list is growing as we grow the project. If you think we've missed something feel free to reach out) This is a passion project. Not intended for sale, or anything like that but to revitalize the idea of the franchise and give it the proper respect it deserves. We are not in competition with T3, or Midair. This is a COMMUNITY FIRST project and we may not get anywhere at all, but we also could make something great. We arent doing Kickstarter or begging for money right now so don't worry about that but we do want to breathe life into this thing we all love. If you want to join the team, or even just come join the hype train... Join the discord! we WANT your voice, ideas, feedback and everything you've got to grow this puppy to where it should be! https://discord.gg/9nqr4Cmjxj View Reddit by Srixun - View Source by srixun

      :: How do I tell if I’m playing bots? How do I tell if I’m playing bots? I played an hour or two during free play and figured I had $20 for the game. I have no experience with tribes really but I’ve been crushing it in my first hour since release…so I’m assuming I’m Neo here…just killing AI. Sorry I didn’t take the time to search it…phone is handy and I’m jumping back in! View Reddit by Puzzled_Guarantee_45 - View Source by puzzled_guarantee_45

      :: it fills a void i never knew i had it fills a void i never knew i had "it fills a void i never knew i had" every tribes fan has felt that feeling at some point sadly, some got lost in the doomer sauce along the way this review perfectly encapsulates what it feels like to walk into T3 without context: an extremely satisfying experience, some non-deal-breaking concerns, and being mildly weirded out by the doomers https://preview.redd.it/6z35dv26peoc1.png?width=1260&format=png&auto=webp&s=fe720a2c0bcdf9b04fd56ee586c7b5e07a3eac09 View Reddit by thatbadgerad - View Source by thatbadgerad

      :: How do I reach the Tribes 3 discord mods? How do I reach the Tribes 3 discord mods? I'm trying to create a ticket for my unbanning from the discord server, because honestly the game kinda feels stale without comms. Nobody is using the in game voice chat (its automatically set to off) I get it gamers are toxic. The people who actually want to play ranked and come up with strategies suffer much more though since there is no communication. Idk about yuo guys but I only have maybe one person in my combined steam and discord friends list who actually play Tribes and they are not on often so theres no hope for me there either. I just want to try actually playing with strategy and communication is key for that in a game like this. p.s. the least they could do is have text chat.

      :: it’s ok to have fun it's ok to have fun With player counts low out of the gate, it seems like the doomers may have self-fulfilled their prophecy of "T3 will fail", having paid $18 each just to wage a negative review bombing campaign within the first 2 hours of the game's release. Despite 77% of total reviews being positive, as of this writing, the top two "most helpful" reviews of the game are negative reviews from individuals who, respectively, had 0 hours and 1.6 hours of playtime at the time of their reviews. Why? Because the doomers organized to upvote each other's pre-decided conclusions. Whether it's because of still-unprocessed trauma over the fate of T:A, or for the crime of not measuring up to the impossible standard of youthful nostalgia, or just generally being the kind of person who will pay money to leave a negative review of a game before playing it, a large segment of the Tribes community is truly, truly devoted to punishing any new Tribes game for existing. And it may be working. Worst case scenario: the "fans" who devoted themselves to causing the failure of T3 succeed at scaring away the new player base the franchise needed to survive, and T3 goes out with a whimper. Best case scenario: T3 slow boils, gradually growing a player base as incremental updates and improvements come to the game. New blood dilutes the bad blood, and we get Tribes back, long-term, with players that are here to have fun rather than propagate old baggage. But either way, for now, it's ok to have fun. We have a Tribes game again. It's not as active as we'd like, but it's active. And it's a blast to play, however long it lasts. See you on the battlefield!

      :: The lack of in-game chat is what broke the camel’s back for me. The lack of in-game chat is what broke the camel's back for me. I started with Tribes 1 way back in the day and have played every installment in the series. I was a "pub hero", a casual who simply loved tribes but never took it beyond that. But I am by no means a purist. The most fun I ever had in Tribes was either camping the enemy's generator room, generally attacking the enemy's base, and occasionally chasing and skirmishing in the midfield. Flag capping and chasing were never my focus, neither was blistering speed. Which was fine, because every game in the series allowed for multiple roles and play styles and offered lots to do outside of the flag gameplay. Bombing the enemy base with my mortar from an APC was always a blast! Tribes 3 offers virtually nothing outside capping and chasing. And I'm at peace with that. I can still ski and jet and try to lead my spinfusor shots for mid air hits. That is pure, simple, fun. This game is its own thing but it has the basic Tribes movement DNA and that's a good thing. But on top of all of that there is no text chat. I'm sorry but that's asking too much. The game is just too simple at that point. I can't talk to my teammates to tell them there's a capper who always sets up his route from the same angle. Or to tell them not to return the flag because the stand is compromised. Or ask for someone to take the flag from me. Or any myriad other things. Yes VGS can cover some of that to some extent. But VGS can't ask basic questions or give basic guidance to clueless people. Or make up for simple human banter and conversation. I sat and thought about it, and I honestly cannot think of a multiplayer PC game I have personally ever played that did not include text chat. This is my very first one. I currently play Hell Let Loose and Chivalry 2, I've put tons of time into various Battlefield games, Insurgency, Team Fortress 2, Titanfall 2, and back in the day I played Quake 3, unreal tournament, etc. All of them have text chat. And it was a major part of the enjoyment. And I do not understand the reasoning behind not including it. I think the cost of getting rid of chat far outweighs the benefit of... shielding some unknown number of players from some unknown amount of toxicity? Like we're children? In exchange for ruining any human interaction in the game? Did anyone even ask for this? Where did this decision come from? At the end of the day, this is already a very stripped down and streamlined Tribes game. Which, again, is fine. But you add on no way of talking to any other players and that's just too much. It's barely even a game at that point. If they add a decent text chat, I'll return. The Tribes bones are there. They are bare, but they exist. And that's almost enough.

      :: JihadMaster from IE here, figured out something from 25 years ago finally. JihadMaster from IE here, figured out something from 25 years ago finally. JihadMaster from IE here. Played Tribes as an Imperial Elite back in 1998-1999 with Natural and the crew as a heavy. Reading through a claim in my now very grown up insurance career and ran across the familiar term 5150, meaning a 72- hour psychiatric hospitalization when evaluated to be a danger to others. Bad time to laugh out loud but I did for a reason 25 years in the making. I never actually bothered figuring out what that meant way back when. Blast from the Tribes past. Hope ya’ll are doing great! I miss everything that was back then. View Reddit by Cursewtfownd - View Source by cursewtfownd

      :: Outside perspective on Tribes 3 Outside perspective on Tribes 3 As someone who doesn't really know the Tribes community and just want to get into the games, it's good to see every post isn't just complaining about the fact the game isn't free like Tribes: Ascend, but I feel like most newcomers (myself included) had the expectation that the game would be Free to Play. I'm totally okay with the game reverting to the OG model and it is very cheap, BUT ZFPS nowadays is already niche, meanwhile Midair 2 is free and gives the impression of a calmer community and overall better relationship with devs. Currently, it's not looking good for Tribes 3. I only knew it existed because a friend told me about it months after play tests started and I already wanted to get into the games. Most new people will not share this experience and will not consider spending money after looking up any community opinions on the game. I do not know how the devs expected a magical comeback, but it's only Early Access so I guess we'll see until then. Other than that, I want to say that the game is a lot of fun! I wish there more consequence-free fun games like that of the ZFPS genre, and I love the style of Tribes specifically. View Reddit by ZTheTrovian - View Source by zthetrovian

      :: Convince me why I should buy this game for 20 bucks Convince me why I should buy this game for 20 bucks As a old tribes fan. Convince me why when it lacks features compared to the oldies. And I get it there's a road map and possibility of the future. But the player count is kinda concerning for a FPS on launch. View Reddit by MVPBluntman - View Source by mvpbluntman

      :: Tribes 3 is awesome! Tribes 3 is awesome! I've no plan to play this game anytime soon. But it sure is entertaining to see the community back together with hate vs. love posts and all the bickering in between. So thank you Tribes 3! 🍿🤓❤️🖖 PS I was a fan of the T1/T2 Renegades mod.

      :: Many Old People in This Community Suck Many Old People in This Community Suck Yes Erez sucks, yes Hi-Rez sucks, but the ultimate thing, the real reason there will never be a successful Tribes game again is because of these bitter old people. They literally just want a T1/T2 remake, and anything else they immediately and constantly bombard with negativity, instantly removing any chance that any Tribes game has of having a good release, good ratings, or good public perception. Is Tribes 3 perfect? No, but like it or not it is a Tribes game, and maybe if these bitter old dudes could've shut up then some more players would have become interested, or Prophecy wouldn't abandon it in 3 months (as I have very little doubt they will do). If they could've just gotten over themselves and promoted the game with even half the energy they hate it with, maybe we could've even had a year more of relatively populated T3 servers. No one is ever going to touch this franchise again, this is it, this is the end. And it's because of it's own biggest 'fans.' A lot of you old guys are chill, I'm not hating on all of you.

      :: You guys are unhinged… You guys are unhinged... We don't have any sort of ZFPS game, let alone a Tribes game to play for years and when we get one, I just see whining and moaning everywhere I look ... I get it's lacking features and unpolished, but actually I was pleasently surprised by the core mechanics. I don't see how slating the game and review bombing it on steam is going to help. All that will happen is that new players won't come and we will be back to where we were before. So why not be more optimistic, engage with the Devs on discord and give it a chance? Rant over.
