Several MatureAsskickers are in the beta. Stop by http://ElderGaming.org if
interested.
(Not me. I've been too busy with other things to mess with it. Plus, I'm
bummed out that there won't be dedicated community-run servers.)

saying "don't i know you?" on that server is the entire reason I came

- full computer crash (occured once in the last 2 weeks).
- automatic server switching at the end of a map (3 times over the past
week).
I unlocked all the current beta classes. The ones that I enjoy are maxed
out. The rest is idling at 0 use (infiltrator, raider, scrambler don't
suit my style of play). I use two extra energy perks (+20 total) which
allow insane jumps in light/medium and fast caps in heavy.
The main issues with the game are the pointlessness of the generators
and the lack of appeal of the technician (the only class that deploys
turrets). Most of the time, I play offence. Since the generator status
has 0 impact on my spawn loadout, all I do defense wise is to spend hard
earned credits on generator/turrets/sensor upgrades.
I ran into Pingmeister in the Hi-Rez forums. He goes by the handle
Pingles now.

I had gotten a beta key and have been playing a lot. It's open beta
now, so any old Tribers that check into here can nab the game without
having to worry about keys and whatnot.
My impressions of the game are very positive. They have the esscence
of Tribes sussed. And graphically, it's a very beautiful game with
specular highlighting on metallic bits and whatnots. One thing I do
miss is the sheer size of the maps. While these are okay, they're not
"Tribes massive". I say make them bigger, and include troop
transports. I used to love flying a transport with 4 mortal-lobbing
heavies over the dunes in Rollercoaster.
The name I go by in Tribes: Ascend is: Smeghead.
