The sixth update for Tribes: Ascend should be rolling out soon if it’s not already up. We’re getting a new Team Deathmatch map called Miasma as well as a fan favorite map for CTF – Stonehenge. On top of the map additions come a decent amount of balancing for various things but the Shrike balancing stands out the most to me. Give the patch notes a read!
————————————————————————————————————————————
Tribes Ascend Version 1.0.1016 is expected to be deployed on Friday, June 22. The servers will be down for several hours while the patch is deployed. Below are the preliminary patch notes.
Major Highlights
- Added support for “lock to player view” while spectating players.
This allows you to see what the spectated player target sees. Press ‘L’ by default to lock the view to the player’s viewpoint. Mousewheel in for a first-person perspective. - A new TDM map has been added to the list of maps in the Quick Play rotation. (Miasma)
- A new CTF map has been added to the list of maps available to play on Custom Servers. Stonehenge is a remap of a classic Tribes map. The map is currently in a “beta” state and will be added to the Quick Play rotation after it goes through testing on Custom Servers.
