Hello,

A number of people have spoken with me about trying out the Tribes Ascend beta.  This week we will be having two play dates to try out the game.  Our first date will be Friday at 8PM BST (3PM US East Coast, 9PM Central Europe), our second play date will be on Sunday at the same time.

Tribes: Ascend is a free game, I recommend you join us on teamspeak and ingame during the events.  I'm new to the series myself, however from various videos I've seen, it looks entertaining.

Here is a video to TotalBuiscuits "Lets Play" of Tribes, it may be worth a watch:

See you there.

I like the game after playing it for a few hours, but I do not like the fact that you (again) need to level through shit.

I like levelling.  Keeps the game Fresh for longer, there's a reason it's more and more prevalent in newer games.  Just so long as there isn't too much of a disadvantage to being a low level. I look forward to Planetside for this reason, apparently almost everything in that is a "side-grade".

A reminder, first event is today.

It makes me long back to the "good old days" in which one would be judged on the performance during one game only. Like UT and the pickups or Renegade with credits. Those things only affect your "skill" for one game. This means you can jump in a game much easier. I don't have that much time to play games and because of that I'm not leveling that fast. This often enough is reflexed by ingame abilities, like the perks in Tribes.
Of course you get better by playing much, but that's practice. With my base skill level I can play a lot of shooters at at least a decent level. With the leveling bullshit I'll not pass average level until I've wasted x hours.

Oh I forgot: Gwynzer, of course I want to have a playdate with you, just not sure if tonight is the best night. But sure as hell that I'll be there sunday 

[Gwynzer]

Just played 2 and a half hours, no one has shown up   Hopefully we'll have more on Sunday.

I've got to say, I'm surprised at how fun it is.  I've no interest in the Deathmatch mode, and I think the "best" CTF maps are also a little bit too fast.  I hope they end up doing a more objective type gametype.   The "base" element is quite good, and it makes attacking more interesting, and defending less boring.

I play this, haven't checked these forums for a while, otherwise I would have been there. My player name is KarrizFIN.

2nd event is tonight.

I need to download a patch so I probably won't make it, not enough time.

10 of us total playing, I think. 6 of those BI.  Ben brought some of his Finns along, we had fun.

Sly was online... but too important for BI events or something *evil glare*
