just played it. it's not your every day noob friendly fps game(bf3,mw3,tf2,cs). you actually need to put some effort into this game to be decent at it.
you need to learn the huge map to be able to move fast and maneuver running enemies. you also need really good predict aim. its not point and click.
the skill gap will be huge for this game but overall it is very satisfying and enjoyable as compared to the current fps games out there.
hope to see some good amount of players from the asian region.
Download game from 6AM, complete around 4PM(10 hours).
Play game, cannot see mouse. Say must validate and repair.
I validate, repair, 6 hours only 40% complete. My father accidentally turn off modem, have to restart all over again.
Use up so much bandwidth, can't even load a decent 20 sec video clip. Already gian for tf2, one day never play, now still got about 6 hours more before probably finish repairing.
The game better be challenging.
Also, are there SEA servers or do you guys play in the American servers?
These servers will likely be underpopulated until we more widely announce their presence and market in these regions, but we want to test the server infrastructure themselves.
If you live in these markets, please help us test the servers. You can change region in the Play Now menu.
Note that the Asia servers are currently in Tokyo. We are also pursuing server options in Singapore (either to replace or supplement the Tokyo servers).

I played in the Japan Server yesterday. I must say, this new Tribes : Ascend really does bring me back to Tribe Vengeance and Unreal Tournament 2004 era. Took me few hours to get used to before I can really frag people. Is a nice change of pace for FPS gaming from the usual MW3 and BF3
Hey guys, anyone still playing this regularly? I've been playing the Australian servers coz the asian servers have not many players inside (well maybe I play at the wrong time) would love to add any of you here
yup, even the ping state 358 constant for me, the gameplay is smooth n hit register on hit accurately. no spike at all and im in europe-london server. even at this time there's a server with 20+player.
play the tutorial first liao, the mechanic of the game is quite hard to master
You are pretty much to lose badly for the first few games before you get used to the mechanics. The game can be quite punishing at times, but it is very rewarding if you get it right.
I think this is the best free to play game so far. Hi Rez tend to give a lot of freebies or discounts very frequently. There are only a few weapons are mandatory upgrades while most of them are side grades.
its like the blue colour pew pew thingy cant hit anyone
and shotgun against people who fly here and there? definetely my fav class atm
u mean soldier machine gun? can lor, whenever your opponent goes, juz aim infront of your enemy abit as the bullet need to travel. if not, juz use Grenade launcher n boom shakalaka boom shakalaka
Wah Tribes bring back so many memories of playing on dial up when I was little (Shows how old I am lol) Pity my PC not built yet later when its up will join you guys for sure

When you are chasing a capper, i find heavy class have lots of problem chasing them, they are too slow.
hmmm yeah correct. well if u r heavy and u wanna chase capper then u r doing it wrong lulz. real heavy just shoot down the capper without moving at all trololol.
like one time i was flying away with flag then i kena missile lock on lulz.
he was playing the defender "doom bringer" class, armed with chain gun and missile lock on only rocket launcher (for air borne targets and vehicles)
i guess that kind of play style suits me better. i will just sit near flag and try to kill them cappers lulz. if they take off into the skies for more than 3 seconds then it is missile time.

The missle lock requires around 3sec to lock on. If they touch the ground for even a split second inside the 3sec range, the lock on will have to start all over again, not as good as you think it is except if you use it against vehicles. Also, you can hide behind a wall/rock or even outrun it to avoid getting hit by the missle because it travels fairly slow.
Edit: is it even possible to get a game on SG server? I stopped playing for quite a while due to unable to hit anything at all using my fusion mortar and spinfusor due to 300+ms latency on AUS server.

hmmm yeah u r right. i gave up lulz. happier being a technician. erect turrets. repair base stuff with blazing speed lulz.
then join those double xp server with 1 credit to summon tactical strike trolololol then try to tactical spam to get some kills.
After 2 years, this game is getting a major update. The update includes 3 new maps, a major overhaul of the class system, new weapons, and balance changes. Now, everything is unlocked by default.
