When was Tribes most exciting for you
 
IMO when you lose base on RD, have to cluster, and end up winning

~dickschnitzel~ 01-17-2018 16:05

When teams are properly balanced and everyone is trying their best, and match lasts a very long time. At that point you're having so much fun you don't even care about score / winning.

Or when you're playing arena on big maps and everyone uses disc/plasma/nade and you're o sniping everyone from half a map away. people rage so hard it's wonderful. bonus points if you're listening to them on voip. hello shadoh & mich

yeah from a macro perspective a really great pickup game with mid-high and high level players on both sides was fun as ****. i miss those a lot.

i also miss o-sniping but i can't say it was the most thrilling. most funny, maybe. another funny memory...in 1999 when i was 11 i'd load up HPCs on scara and fly them way oob :(

HO'ing into enemy base and finding un-deployed turrents

u had to drop ur pack quick and dep it and that left u vulnerable but if u got it u were king for o-turreting their base

I recieved this last night from a credible source who told me to keep his identity a secret. Just read for yourself

> hey are u there?
> ive been doing a lot of thinking lately and have realized that the people i play tribes with are real tools
> i wish it was like the old days where i used to mess around with guys like jj and you and just have fun
> so i wrote up this thing that will really get the guys i have played with for awhile in trouble
> if you can post this on TWL but please, please, please keep my identity hidden
> this should be enough proof to stir up some trouble
> After thinking about it for a long time I felt the need to let the truth be known. For a long time Pennywise, you have been accusing many of the top players in LT of cheating and for the most part you have been laughed at and mocked for it. Let it be known now that your suspicions were all correct and all you lacked is the proof. I intend to give you the proof that you have need to reinstate stability into the community.
> About 6-7 months ago while on the team Texas Rangers ' * ', the now inactive player RaZorStone developed a script that improved chaingun accuracy incredibly. The script functioned in such a manner that it would be deadly accurate regardless of the players ping. The script is toggle based so a player can turn it on or off while playing. This toggle has made it difficult to determine whether or not someone is cheating because their chain
> Not surprisingly that pact that was made by the members of the Texas Rangers was soon broken. Different teams were formed by former members of Texas Rangers and many of them strived to be #1 on the TWL ladder. To gain an extra competitive edge the script was given to a select few members of the community. I can not exactly pin point all that use it but I guarantee you that carn0va, CruelVenom, IceHawk, and Chump use this script to improve chain

He also wanted me to post that he was sorry. Hopefully this sheds some light on the subject.

Haha, I had a 33k modem but, yeah, similar. Game somehow ran though. :shrug:

bugs_ 01-17-2018 19:26

In 2008 oldman asked me if we could implement some anti cheat on sh-thole. at first we were logging only and not kicking. in the bugs_ tribes lab several new tests were developed and evaluated. many were discarded because of false positives. a few very nice tests survived and we were logging away.

WOW IT WAS AWESOME

and nobody knew

then someone screwed nofix and publicly released his bypass. he asked if we could start kicking for it - sure thing.

im sure ive told the full story before, but bugs_ told me i was failing a certain lasthope scan. i wasn't cheating so it seemed odd. i downloaded plasmatics basic install and re-joined and asked bugs_ if i was still failing the scan - answer was yes.

i tried like 10 different configs and failed scans with all of them. knowing for sure that i wasn't cheating, i had to look at different reasons for failing a scan - like something in my system hooking .dlls

didn't find anything until i ran an anti-rootkit tool from a bootable disc - and it found a rootkit

removed rootkit, re-joined the server and passed the lasthope scans with the same configs

there was no other evidence on my system of the rootkit, no unusual activity no anti-virus popups - so im quite grateful to bugs_ for helping me troubleshoot it and bringing my attention to it. who knows how long i would have gone on infected without knowing.

if i wanted to pass lasthope scans i could have, someone even gave me a chunk of code to make it easier :wink: :wink: :nudge: :nudge: :you:

hyung 01-18-2018 22:47

i didn't get a chance to play much competitively, so the draft tournaments and stacked pickup nights were tons of fun.

1.11.....When you start Tribes and have to refresh the TR servers to death until someone dropped - play a scrim or three, 3v3, +2000 point games, then join US Base or LT for some CTF(Raindance) action, hit a couple PUs, then finish off the evening with some Arena/Duel...RIP

coombz 01-22-2018 18:37

before I even got the game was pretty ****ing exciting :lol: my hype meter was full

obsessing over the tips and tactics guide in an issue of the US PC Gamer mag I got from somewhere, thinking about all the cool vehicle related things I would do in the game...

Pagy 01-26-2018 11:36

99/2000 was memorable because i was skipping studying for exams to play tribes...then again hs is easy and would get 90s anyway

the other big moment for me was going to university and finally getting off dialup so, although was later in the tribes lifecycle, 2000/2001 was the most fun as lpb

Exodus 01-29-2018 15:22

#1 playing in prime TR competition (forget the years, but people like izod (my best partner, invented all kinds of tricks), paradork, vector, sharp, we changed the way the game was played)

#2 prime arena/duel (also forget years, don't think i played on many arena teams aside from pu'ing during this time aside from carnova's super friends, but was such a unique time full of people passionate to play arena full of diff maps)

#3 best t1 LT pickups -- i cant remember what years these were (im guessing like 2005-2006? idk) but there were always plenty of people around and only the best selected -- these games were the only CTF games worth playing

League-games during peak.. And for me personally, lurking through scripts.
