First off, excellent video and you were very well spoken! I think this style of content will do very well. I really appreciate the 2nd hand montage you made for me in the background 😂 Hahah im so excited to take this mode all the way. Tons of potential and Erez confirmed it had very high new player retention.
I feel like there's a lot of potential and hype around this mode. Was watching my video and only just now noticed how HotRod's head turns when Jim announces Honorbomb tourny.
As a now longtime fan of the series that has seen beloved iteration after beloved iteration struggle to maintain a playerbase beyond us crotchety boomers, THIS could very well be the future of Tribes and I would live happily ever after. It's beginner friendly both to players and maybe most importantly, spectators. It's a concept that takes a very complex and intricate z-shooter and puts it in the context of ball and goal. It gives noobs clear goals to make and roles to practice while still preserving the maximum skill ceiling the series is known for. This is probably a blasphemous take to all the older fans out there but I think the world is ready. This should be the primary focus of development if they want to foster an esports scene.
What's great about it as well is that I don't think it has to take anything away from CTF. If something like Honorball draws people to the game as a whole, there will inevitably be people who gravitate towards CTF as well.
Hated Bombrun initially and thought it was kinda lazy. Ironically I think honorball is even simpler, but I love it. I've been craving it. I think it has real potential to go to the moon, but they gotta work on it. BTW Palword took off by being "Pokemon with guns" and this is like "Rocket League with guns"... Maybe it fits the current zeitgeist.
This isn't much different than 1-flag CTF really, which had some popularity in the Tribes2 days if I'm remembering correctly. Makes sense to see an evolution of it.
Hey Dino! Wanted to join the T3 Comp discord but noticed it was expired. Any chance you could update the description with a non-expiring one? Would love to join you guys
As much as I was skeptical about the Honor Bomb mode, and kinda rolled my eyes because the alpha was making me play 10 games of it before I started the CTF mode... I found myself having a heck of a lot of fun with it. I do play Rocket League as well, so yeah, if they do what HotRodRe asked, I might be just a HB believer . =] Also loving your content, really enjoying your takes. Excited for the game!
Once again my fellow Vengeance brethen, we meet on the court. I do find it ironic that a dead game mode from an even more dead game is possibly going to be the future of TRIBES.
Not sure about the Proton/Steam Play support but there is a public demo available on steam until the 12th and we seem to get alpha tests every weekend.
Wait a second-is this a new Tribes game??? 3??? HOW DID I MISS THIS?!
Look up Tribes 3 Playtest on steam and join us! It will also be available during Steam Next fest. Get on the discord to keep up with it.
@@GoodJobDino I'm in Australia so I fear the international rubber banding ping 🤣
it's not a tribes games so much as it is a really bad game further ruining the Tribes IP
dude I found out YESTERDAY. So many vets sleeping on this. Closed the game I was playing to buy and download it. VGW
I checked my Steam account to see the last time I played Tribes Ascend
It was back in 2014
I feel old
We all do.
This is like a rabbit mode but with a bomb and a goal, instead of a flag where you run away

I missed the last couple of betas, but your video hyped me up! Excellent presentation! Ill be watching for the new test.
Should be this Thursday! And rumor is there will be some big changes.

That's a much catchier way to boil it down. Where were you while I was editing? Hope you're right and glad you're enjoying the mode.

Interesting! I have only gotten to try T2 recently.

Damn. I thought I'd done that. Thanks for letting me know. I'll try and get that taken care of this afternoon and let you know asap
discord.gg/DR5NCKet here is an invite code, I haven't been able to figure out having a permanent one yet. Hope to see you in there!
Tribes plus Powerball from Subspace/Continuum? Glorious!
It is!
We ball. 🏀

Excited to hear people are enjoying T3 and especially Honorbomb. Glad to have you around, hope to catch you in game.
Bomb is fun. But CTF just hits different for Tribes. It's the only game where CTF is a must play for me
Its fun Im happy a new Tribes is coming out.

Absolutely. And I honestly feel like Prophecy could add just a couple little things and then mostly leave it alone for the community to run,
Give us the grappler back...No grappler no Tribes...
It's in the plans for the future apparently.
Wait.... There -is- going to be a Tribes 3?
Any word if it'll support Steam Play/Proton?

@@GoodJobDino
I'll have a look-see.
I can confirm it works with proton
@@gaben421
Nice.
Tribes is a great series
We're trying to keep it that way.
cant believe they made ball game good
Unfortunately it was too good to be true. The mode won't be coming back unless something changes the devs minds in the future.
Holy shid
why is the game play sped up
Allowed me to fit more of the game in.

[VGG] You rock!

Appreciate it!
