Jay? Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'm checking it out. I never really wanted to before, but hey, if it's free, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Fate Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Ascend has always been FtP, but its a PtW game. Still pretty fun though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neowulf Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Just saw that. I know it's nostalgia talking but I wish they'd make one more like the first game. Base was a great game by itself, but with a mod like renegades it was just epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milk Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I think you meant it just went on steam. But anyways, I used to play the tribes game on Instant Action (good times). Too bad they went out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Administrators sct Posted June 29, 2012 Forum Administrators Share Posted June 29, 2012 It stays very true to the original Tribes which is great but it's very much pay-to-win in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moriim Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I don't really see the PtW in Ascend. In my experience many of the default weapons have their uses, I.E. default soldier setup is best for flag defense, L. Spinfusor is better for Path capping than Bolt Launcher, DMB Chaingun is pretty much the best thing about the whole class, and Sniper Rifle is pretty much universally superior in a CTF role than the Phase Rifle. I bought the $10 package of "Shazbucks" and just spent all that on classes and perks, then ground out the rest in XP. I think the secret to success is to find a role you enjoy, dump all your XP/any cash you're willing to spend into it, and get the rest later. For me it was Technician Defense, it was really easy to top scoreboards at the time just wrecking the hordes of infiltrators that were playing back in Open Beta. In short, don't spend 100k xp on something so that you can "try it" because you'll most likely come to regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
