Tribes Beta Version 0.1.789.1 Patch Notes
SERVER DOWNTIME: The Tribes Servers are expected to be down for a number of hours on WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2012 while the patch is deployed. Watch the Server Status on the game loader for the latest availability information.
Major Highlights
- The game no longer requires a key in order to play. Anyone can join the beta program by simply creating an account on http://www.tribesascend.com and then downloading the game. Players are reminded that their progression in the game will be kept once the beta ends and the game officially launches -- so time spent playing now will be rewarded at launch.
- A new gametype, Arena, has been added with two initial maps, Air Arena and Lava Arena. The Arena gametype features five-on-five matches fought on small hazardous maps. The team that wins two rounds wins the match. During the course of a round, each team has 25 respawns. After a team's respawns are depleted, players on that team each get one more life before the round ends. The team with the last man standing wins the round.
- A new Capture the Flag map has been added to the quick match rotation (Temple Ruins).
- A new Team Deathmatch map has been added to the quick match rotation (Inferno).
- Two new unlockable items have been added on the Soldier class: Proximity Grenade and Utility Pack.
- Servers are now available in Asia and Brazil. You may choose your server region in the Play Now menu, or in the Settings menu.
- You may now change your Gamer Name for gold, using the Store menu.
- The end-of-match screens have been given a significant user interface overhaul.
- The Doombringer and Brute have new suits. There have also been some adjustments to the suits for some other classes, based on user feedback.

Weapon/Balance Items

- Infiltrators using the Stealth pack now fade in and become "visible" at speeds over 173kph.
- Increased the activation delay on newly placed Light Turrets (Technician) from 1 to 2 seconds.

Additional Items

- Revisited Blood Eagle variant class visuals based on user feedback.
- Various minor cleanups have been made to the Ski Tutorial.

- Changed Beowulf handling, it will no longer allow immediate forward/backward velocity changes.
- Enemy vehicle icons will now show through walls if they are detected by a Radar Sensor.
- The Flag Reach perk will no longer allow players to pick-up the flag through walls.
