I really like how Hi Rez really listens to the community about game balance. But, I they've really neglected the ESport part of the game. The issue is that because the game is F2P with a small team, most of their time is dedicated to the next patch that's gonna bring bread to the table. More people need to play Tribes!! | ||

Loadouts and classes Tribes: Ascend features a class-based loadout system. Each loadout specifies what type of armor the player has, along with what weapons and items they carry. Each loadout supports two in-hand weapons, a set of belt items such as grenades or mines and a pack. There are three possible sizes of armor to choose: light, medium and heavy, with three loadouts in each weight group (for a total of nine). Players can select which loadout to use either when first joining a game, respawning, or at an inventory station. Loadouts may be acquired either through an upfront payment, or through playing the game and earning experience points, which can be used to purchase classes, weapons, perks, and upgrades.[4] Paid-for loadouts are available to the user immediately, while those who unlock them through playtime have a much longer wait. Upgrades to armor, weapons and perks can only be purchased by experience points. Players are given three free classes: the Pathfinder, Soldier, and Juggernaut, when they first start playing the game, each wearing light, medium and heavy armor respectively.[5] Hi-Rez also sells cosmetic items such as player skins, along with boosters that allow players to gain experience points at a faster rate. Players earn in-match credits during matches for killing enemies, repairing structures or capturing objectives. Credits are then used to buy vehicles, supply drops, Tactical and Orbital strikes and base upgrades.[6] On February 22, 2012, the game entered open beta. Arena 5v5 was added and Rabbit was disabled during this phase of the beta, though would later return as a private server option. Game modes and maps Hi-Rez Studios released Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, Rabbit (only available in private servers), Arena, and Capture & Hold game modes.[7] While some maps have retained the classic nature of the Tribes franchise with large open areas and base structures, others have a more urban feel to them, featuring buildings and streets. Katabatic map, which originally appeared in Tribes 2, has been remade in Tribes: Ascend,[7] along with a revamped version of Broadside called Crossfire. Ranking system The ranking system is a vanity reward for players and also serves a functional purpose for the in-game queue system. Each level of a rank has a unique rank title and insignia. Players begin as a rank 1 ("Recruit") and earn ranks as they play the game. Each players' current rank insignia is displayed next to their name on the in-game scoreboard. Rank title and insignia are shown to an enemy player that you have recently killed (displayed on the kill-cam screen). A summary report of rank experience earned is displayed on the post-match scoreboard screen at the end of each map. An experience bar is also displayed and grows in a horizontal direction as rank experience accrues. Player performance (e.g., highest position on the scoreboard, highest amount of earned points) does not increase the amount of rank experience that is earned because rank experience is earned on a time basis (time spent playing the game). However earning badges (achievements in the game with a set objective, example: "Marksman I" requires you to hit 50 headshots) does increase the rank experience earned. The amount of rank experience that is earned from badges is unconfirmed and unknown.[citation needed] Rank experience is not modified by purchasable Boost (+100% experience) or the VIP bonus (+50%) which was awarded to players in the beta who purchased Tribes gold currency and/or Tribes Boost.[8] However, Boost and VIP both affect Badge experience, but it's unconfirmed and unknown whether this consequentially affects the rank experience that is earned from an earned Badge. Functionally, the ranking system provides the game with a way to categorize players and match them to games with other players of relative rank. Players that are rank 1-6 will be queued and matched with other players that are rank 1-6. When a player reaches rank 7 they are eligible to be matched with players rank 7 and above. Because the Arena game type requires a mild amount of familiarity with the game, players may only queue for an Arena game when they have attained rank 8 ("Squad Leader"). So not only can you buy upgraded items that take a long time to earn, you can also buy boosters that potentially increase the rate at which your rank increases. The ranking system is completely time-based, not skill-based. And this time-based ranking system is used for matchmaking. And everyone is forced to start at the lowest level, just like the old broken WC3 AMM, which caused endless smurfing, and made it so that the bottom of the ladder doesn't represent bads, like Bronze league does, but rather, bads and smurfs and new players. So basically, it forces everyone to grind from Bronze to Masters, regardless of whether the person deserves to be placed into Diamond after 5 placement games, or whether they never deserve to get past Bronze because they're not skilled enough. This game sounds like a fucking joke. No wonder it's free to play. | ||
