'''Purpose of this site'''

The intent of this wiki is to create a website dedicated to all that is Tribes and its universe. This site was created because wikipedia does not understand the fact that some things are impossible to cite. We understand that the community knows more about this topic than any citation could possibly give. Maybe if we make this site great, wikipedia will cite us.

[[Tribes: Ascend]] is the latest game in the [[Tribes (series)|Tribes]] franchise, and was released on April 12, 2012. It is available as a digital download for Microsoft Windows, though Hi-Rez Studios. Iconic aspects from previous Tribes games such as jetpacks and skiing are featured in the game. Unlike the other games in the series, Tribes: Ascend is Free-to-Play, relying on micro-transactions as their business model. To accommodate this model, the game uses class loadouts with predefined armors and weapons. Three classes are available when the game is first activated, the others must be unlocked with experience or purchased with Gold. User customization of classes, skins, maps, and mods have not been scheduled in any future update.

Tribes: Ascend announced. Multiplayer-only, coming this year, has trailer]</ref> Unlike the other games in the series, Tribes: Ascend is Free-to-Play, relying on micro-transactions as their business model. To accommodate this model, the game uses class loadouts with predefined armors and weapons. Three classes are available to all players for free, the others must be unlocked with experience or purchased with Gold.

On July 12, 2013, Todd, the COO of Hi-Rez, announced that they had stopped development of Tribes: Ascend and that it would be more likely that they would begin development of Tribes: Ascend 2 than release a major update for Ascend.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/Tribes/comments/1i4jrr/open_letter_to_hirez_response/ Open letter to hirez response]</ref> The very next day a discussion was started about having the community creating an SDK for the game. On July 16, 2013 in an interview with Todd he announced that Hi-Rez was looking into releasing mod tools and map tools, but no date was confirmed.<ref>[http://www.twitch.tv/tribesascend/b/431424717 Behind the Blue Plate #52 - Interview with HiRezTodd]</ref> On August 05, 2013, Hi-Rez announced that they would be closing the official forums down due to an increase in the use of social media outlets.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/Tribes/comments/1jr1oj/official_forums_will_close_within_24_hours_from/ Official forums will close within 24 hours]</ref> Some Reddit users believe that the closure has more to do with Hi-Rez's inability to resolve the SQL errors on the forum, as removing the official forums will do more harm to the community with, no way to provide feedback or report bugs related to the game.

On December 10, 2015, version 1.1 was released after four PTS releases.<ref>[http://www.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/home/latest-news/view/tribes-ascend-blog/2015/12/10/out-of-the-blue-tribes-ascend-version-1.1-december-10th-2015 Out of the Blue Tribes Ascend version 1.1]</ref> Version 1.1 made sweeping changes to the class system, reducing it to only three armors similar to previous Tribes games, and allows the player to now have three to four weapon slots. All of the changes can be read [[Tribes:_Ascend/Patches/v1.1|here]].

On April 04, 2018, Hi-Rez took down the Tribes: Ascend website and began redirecting users to the game's Steam page. On November 20, 2018, Hi-Rez released an update for their launcher, which removed Tribes: Ascend, making the game only playable via Steam, even though Hi-Rez set it so that the game will not appear in Steam searches. Community users have posted instructions on Reddit, explaining how to launch Tribes: Ascend without the launcher.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/Tribes/comments/9zjirc/how_to_run_tribes_ascend_new_current_players/ How to run tribes ascend new current players]</ref>

'''All information has been updated for v1.4.'''

==Gameplay==
===Loadouts and classes===
{{Main|Tribes: Ascend Loadouts and Classes}}
[[File:Tribes Ascend Beta Loadouts.jpg|thumb|left]]
Tribes: Ascend features a class-based loadout system. Each [[Tribes: Ascend/Loadouts|loadout]] specifies what type of armor you have, along with what weapons and items you can carry. Loadouts can support up to four weapons, defending on which class is chosen, a [[Tribes: Ascend/Melee|melee]] weapon, a pack, and a belt item. Players can select which loadout to use by pressing a number on the numberpad to choose which armor you want and then choose the loadout. There are currently 12 loadouts to choose from.

Hi-Rez also sells cosmetic items such as player skins and [[Tribes: Ascend/Voice Pack|voice packs]], which can be played using the [[Tribes: Ascend/Voice Game System|VGS]], along with boosters that allow players to gain credits and experience at a faster rate. Players earn in-game credits during matches for killing enemies, repairing structures, or capturing objectives. Credits are then used to buy [[Tribes: Ascend/Vehicles|vehicles]], [[Tribes:_Ascend/Call-Ins|call-ins]], and [[Tribes: Ascend/Base Assets|base upgrades]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ikaZJ-M3EE Tribes: Ascend Hands On Demo With Todd Harris - PAX Prime 2011]</ref> [[Tribes:_Ascend/Custom_Server|Custom servers]] may be purchased through Hi-Rez as well, though they are also hosted by Hi-Rez.

As of version 1.1, [[Tribes:_Ascend/Perks|Perks]] have been integrated into the three armors, so the user no longer has to choose between just two perks to equip.

===Game modes and maps===
There are currently 5 [[Tribes: Ascend/Game Modes|game modes]], Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, Rabbit, Arena, and Blitz.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tribes Ascend - Interview vidéo avec Todd Harris - Gamescom 2011|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXeEIFfMbas&feature=player_embedded}}</ref> Ascend features classic maps such as Katabatic, Raindance, Dangerous Crossing, and Canyon Crusade, it also has new maps featuring various landscapes from the arctic tundra to the barren desert. As of February 22, 2012, Rabbit mode has been removed from public games, and replaced with Arena mode, which is unlocked at level 8. Rabbit mode is only available on custom servers.<ref>[http://hi-rez.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/303 Tribes Beta Version 0.1.789.1 Patch Notes]</ref>

===Flag Drag===
As of version 1.0.1103.1<ref>[http://www.egmnow.com/tribesascend/tribes-ascend-update-marksman-version-1-0-1103 Tribes: Ascend Update: Marksman (Version 1.0.1103)]</ref>, "flag drag" was introduced to limit the amount of speed a flag carrier can maintain at very high speeds. The drag is introduced at 300, 275, and 250 km/h for lights, mediums, and heavies, respectively. For custom servers, these speeds and the deceleration rate for when a player is over the top speed are customizable. Setting the value to 0 will turn off the feature.

===Accolades/Badges===
{{Main|Tribes: Ascend/Accolades}}
{{Main|Tribes: Ascend/Badges}}
To encourage diverse gameplay, various accolades and badges are awarded for accomplishing objectives or protecting assets.

===Ranks===
{{Main|Tribes: Ascend/Ranks}}
As [[Tribes: Ascend/XP|XP]] is earned, the player will gain rank levels that are identifiable with an insignia on the scoreboard.

===Clan Tags===
As of version 1.0.1055.0 clan tags can be purchased for 1,500 XP or 40 Gold. They allow for the user to use a combination of letters and characters up to a maximum of four to be used as a clan tag. The desired tag will be placed in brackets.

Example: [TE]

As of version 1.0.1103.1<ref>[http://www.egmnow.com/tribesascend/tribes-ascend-update-marksman-version-1-0-1103 Tribes: Ascend Update: Marksman (Version 1.0.1103)]</ref>, special characters may now be used, and the first character of the tag does not have to be a letter, which was previously disallowed due to poor programming.<ref>[http://forum.hirezstudios.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=314&t=82488 This Clan Tag Cannot Be Used]</ref> If your in-game name is the maximum length and you use a clan tag with four characters, you will lose the last letter in your name.<ref>[http://forum.hirezstudios.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=314&t=82465 Clan tags reduce the character limit for the entire name]</ref> Tags may only be bought from the main menu, not during a match.

===Console Commands===
These are special commands that players can activate through the console, which can be displayed via the ~ key (tilde key, next to the number 1). Replace <PlayerNickname> with the name of the player you want specified.

<pre>/mute <PlayerNickname> - Mutes the player specified.
/report <PlayerNickname> <Reason> - Reports the specified player for the specified reason.
/sendctrlrequest join queue ### - If the user is whitelisted, allows them to join a specific queue.
/stat fps - Shows the Frames Per Second
/votekick <PlayerNickname> - Starts a vote to kick the player specified.</pre>

Example:
<pre>/report Jerk This person is a total jerk.</pre>
This will report the player "Jerk" for the reason "This person is a total jerk."

===User generated content===
As of July 2013, mod tools and map tools are now being looked into as a possibility. The community stepped up and began creating their own [https://github.com/AltimorTASDK/TASDK SDK]; it requires the developer build of the game, but allows for custom mods and maps to be used.

Te-krogoth: Added Tribes Royale

'''Purpose of this site'''

The intent of this wiki is to create a website dedicated to all that is Tribes and its universe. This site was created because wikipedia does not understand the fact that some things are impossible to cite. We understand that the community knows more about this topic than any citation could possibly give. Maybe if we make this site great, wikipedia will cite us.

[[Tribes: Ascend]] is the latest game in the [[Tribes (series)|Tribes]] franchise, and was released on April 12, 2012. It is available as a digital download for Microsoft Windows, though Hi-Rez Studios. Iconic aspects from previous Tribes games such as jetpacks and skiing are featured in the game. Unlike the other games in the series, Tribes: Ascend is Free-to-Play, relying on micro-transactions as their business model. To accommodate this model, the game uses class loadouts with predefined armors and weapons. Three classes are available when the game is first activated, the others must be unlocked with experience or purchased with Gold. User customization of classes, skins, maps, and mods have not been scheduled in any future update.

'''All information related to Tribes: Ascend has been updated for v1.4.'''

Add in lore, so much lore...

Add more detailed information to [[Tribes: Ascend]], like individual pages for weapons, vehicles, classes,etc.

Add more information to all games, especially the older games.

Break up Lore section on main page, it's going to get too long with all the SS lore.

Break up [[Starsiege: Tribes]] into smaller articles that can be linked in the main article.

Break up [[Technology]] into smaller articles, maybe combining with [[Wilderzone technology]] article.

Clean up the [[Cybrid]] page.

Create instructions on how to play older games like SS, T1, and T2 since their master servers are down.

'''''Tribes Royale''''' is an unannounced game by Hi-Rez Studios, most likely based on the [[Tribes (series)|Tribes series]]. On October 05, 2017, Hi-Rez Studios filed three trademarks for the name ''Tribes Royale''.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://smitedatamining.com/hi-rezs-trademark-update-tribes-royale-and-smite-blitz/ |title=Smite Datamining |accessdate=October 12, 2017}}</ref>
Based on these trademarks, it can be determined that this will be an online multiplayer game with the ability to communicate with other players. One of the trademarks includes verbage ''video-game software for use on mobile devices, tablets, and cellular phones'', indicating that it will most likely be a mobile game. This assumption is based on the fact that [[Tribes: Ascend]] and Smite, earlier PC based games released by Hi-Rez, did not include this verbiage in their trademarks, yet their mobile game, Smite Blitz, did.

==Gameplay==
While Hi-Rez has not made any official announcements about 'Tribes Royale', there are some assumptions that can be made based on the title. Two very popular games were released in 2017 that were based on a battle royale genre, and it is assumed that Hi-Rez is jumping on the band wagon to create their own battle royale game. Hi-Rez was accused of doing something similar with an earlier game, Paladins, which bares a striking resemblance to Blizzard's Overwatch. While Hi-Rez denies these claims, the fact remains that it is very similar to Overwatch, and then they register a trademark with a title that includes the word ''royale'' in it, the same year that the battle royale genre has started to regain popularity.
