EPTAm I exceptional in this regard, or is Tribes really like riding a bike once you get a good feel for the weapons and movement?

I can take months-long breaks and lose almost no skill in sniping and to a lesser extent chaining. Getting back to full strength in the rest of the weapons is also fairly easy to do in a day. Am I exceptional in this regard, or is Tribes really like riding a bike once you get a good feel for the weapons and movement? Sort of. I actually find I play a lot worse when I'm playing often, than when I only play a few games once in a while, like it's easier to play ~instinctively than over-thinking everything and trying to do too much. Usually when I go a week or so without playing, my best games are the first few when I start again. Then it's all downhill lol. | ||

About the actual game: Ascend is of course not perfect by any means. Their class system, maps and weapon balance leave a *lot* of room for improvement, but the game is still fun for me. Maybe someone will make a "real" Tribes spinoff one day, but meanwhile I'm going to enjoy this for what it is. | ||

As far as hacking goes... I've put more than 800 hours in this game and I've come across maybe... 5 hackers. If you're still in the lower rank servers you might see more though since people who get their account banned can just start over since its free to play. Also, good luck in the tournament Tbone your team has a ton of potential, looking forward to play with you again some day  . | ||

Competitive play died or is at least on hiatus as of a few weeks ago. There's still open 7v7 pick up games that happen nightly and I know theres a few clans that do inhouse pick up games. You can find a full pub to play with at all times during the day. I know EU is in a similar state, but I think they still have some teams competing in tournaments. But for now NA is moving towards draft tournaments around once a month. edit: And there will be casters for sure. I casted the last one but I want to play this time. Should be tons of players streaming as well. | ||

Unfortunately have to agree, the only reason I'm still playing T:A is that theres still community events and organized games. I can't find that in other tribes titles. If there was I'd probably jump ship. Are there still draft tournaments for T2? | ||

It needed a safe space for new players to get their skills up in an enjoyable way, and it just wasn't provided. | ||

They really got the fundamentals to a good place, they just fucked up so much about how they structured the game modes/F2P model/community support. Gotta strongly disagree with the fundamentals...they even managed to butcher those. Basically everything that hirez touched made the game worse than previous installments. The only positives were inherent to the tribes series beforehand - the general concepts of gameplay like large team ctf, skiing, jetpacks, and different positions. Midair is a current project that's being worked on that's much closer to a modernization of t1 and t2 classic, but it is very early in development and it will probably be quite a while before you'll be able to see much from it. | ||

Patch notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fnu0Xe9bnZAVPu9eLLBvE2rgZcdqVd7x3SF3ayIDkto/pub And the very first thing is already amazing: All classes have been condensed to three choices; Light, Medium, and Heavy | ||
