When was Tribes most exciting for you
IMO when you lose base on RD, have to cluster, and end up winning
|
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 |
3-5 seconds before map starts.

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. |
i would love to see THE LIST
|

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: |
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
|
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... |
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 |
2001

#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.
