I was just curious if any of you grabbed the beta off of fileplanet? And weather or not is was worth the subscription to FP to get it.
I am downloading it right now.
Ditto.. I'm downloading as we speak as well.
I've been playing on the Blah server on and off since last night. I was server hopping a bit earlier. I'll be back on later tonight.
So is that a yes it worth a FP subscription to get the MP Demo?
I think it's pretty damned good. I'm not sure they exactly nailed the original Tribes feel, but it's still a lot of fun, and the graphics and sound are excellent. For a beta, the game is already pretty smooth and glitch-free (with a few exceptions). T:V definately has the potential to be as good or better than T1, and I think it's worth the subscription, Rocks.
can you put on the ftp, or is there a cdkey type thing needed?
Thanks, I will sign up when I return from vacation...Quote:

You get a key when you subscribe.Quote:

If any of you are on playing, I'm playing as [AK]Hylander and I've been jumping around servers just trying it out on various numbers of players.
downloading now. Ill be on tonight if any of ya's wanna hook up.
I'm not going to give in and pay Fileplanet for it. It's a shame that Sierra opted to only release it through Fileplanet's stupid service.
sorry but 6.95? :) and i figure i abuse the crap outa there servers for a month.. Ill pay 7 dollars to play till it comes out!
I thought I had to pay for a year. You can get it for $6.95?
yeah buy just one month dood! Login, click upgrade now the go thru and fill out (unchecking all the bs of course) and then after your account upgrades when u click TV beta it takes u to a sign up area and gives u a key hash to save.
Dont forget to cancel after a month tho!
I coughed up $6.95, and am downloading it now. Got about 15 minutes left.
Wow that was intense!
They did a great job with TV indeed!
Likes: SMooth gameplay
Great action!
Kewl rides and deployables
Awesome weapons
good ol tribes mobility
Midair's still intact ;)
Awesome graphics and effects
Great sound
Netcode seems tight
Dislikes: Skiiing is setup for noobs and not as accelerating
Bomber is tiny!
some of the Character models are gay
UT2004 feel is very prevalent (maybe thats not a bad thing>?)
Friggin awesome all in all, 1280x1024 40-80 FPS felt smooth as silk and the mid airs were there!
game on!
I'm downloading now.. gonna go back to sleep for a bit once the g/f leaves for work. I'll install and try it out shortly after I get up.
I'll try to get it soon. I've been working on getting WoW installed (unsuccessfully).
Ugh.Quote:

The maps are excellent, and it feels like Tribes. I don't like that anyone can ski now, and the light armor does not seem to catch enough air with an energy pack, but other than that, I like it.
Gee, This game may force me to retire my Planetside Subscription... And if this game plays like UT2004 on massive level, You got to love it..
I am really enjoying it. But it's UT really. I mean it's built off the same engine, so it's not a whole grand scale different. NOT, that I am complaining. I'll still fork over the money when it hits the shelves.Quote:

I'll be there with CS:Source loaded. :)
Also, on Sunday we're planning to hit the sports bar to watch the Seahawks play if you're interested in meeting up for wings and beers and stuff.
I saw Ab on the same server as I was last night. Sent a couple of messages, but he was ignoring me. ;)
I'm having quite a bit of fun with this so far. I'm a little disappointed with the lack of farming ability, but other than that it is very UT2004 like, with the next step IMHO. I played quite a bit of "Fuel" last night and had alot of fun.
Skiing is definitely too easy now. Hell, when I can do it at any point in time, even up hill.. you know it's too easy.
Maybe they will tweak the skiiing with a patch after all the noobs buy it and get hooked :)
Hylander,
I said 'Hi' to you a couple of times in the text messages. Guess we were both too busy with the game. :-)
I like CTF. The "Fuel" thing was a bit odd.
Downloading now. Looking forward to playing tonight.
LOL. That was most definitely the case. I'm trying to 'refamiliarize' myself with the basics.Quote:

I regress on the skiiing take. Any noob can now ski but after some time in the game ive found you can indeed still gain very nice accelerated speeds using old school skiiing methods.
Any game that can bring Goob back must be good! Hope to see you in-game, stranger.
I can't wait to put my HOF stuff back on. :)
Is this a restricted beta? Can someone put the file on the ftp server?
Ok, I got my key and I will Download the client when I return from my vacation here at the ocean.. I look forward to all you old Tribe guys to teach me the ropes of T2.
Cya this weekend!
Oh Yah I was in last night with Fax and Cruiser. I have to get used to the fast paced action again.. Been taking it too slow on the pc here lately. But I think the game is going to be pretty sweet and very fast paced. First night impression is very good so far. Lookin fwd to seeing all the ol gang in there again.
think my venerable machine can handle it?
If you can play BFV on your machine, T:V will work fine.
It runs flawlessly at high detail, in 1024x mode on my AMD 1800+, 512mb, with a Geforce 4 TI4200. I was shocked at how well it ran.
I'm running 1280x1024, max everything. Runs great. It isn't Tribes, but it's an amusing game. I can see some AK nites in the future (a la CoD) once this is released.
Observation: maybe it's just me, but the grapple seems basically worthless in a game where everyone has jetpacks.
**sigh**
I'll pony up and pay to download.
I'll be in this weekend once we have internet at the new apartment.. but I do have it downloaded and installed already. :tongue:
