Tribes: Ascend and local servers

As someone already suggested in that thread, you'll get more joy by just emailing them directly and discussing the issue. A bunch of people just spamming a thread isn't going to convince anyone to do anything.

Personally I would be interested in trying out the game if we had local servers, but Tribes isn't really something you can play properly with a 200+ms ping.
 
Man, i gotta say. I fucken laughed like a Machine when i read this:

Hello My Dear Friend.

My name is Mr. Yerdead of clan Blood Eagle and I am a dying man who have decided to donate
what I have to you/Hirez. I am 30 years old and I was diagnosed for Carpal tunnel syndrome
for about 2 years ago, immediately after the death of my wife, who has left me everything she
worked for (Data centre, fibre to JINX, servers).

I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late
wife to you for the good work of God, even though you might support diamond sword's false gods,
rather than allow my relatives to use my wife's hard earned funds ungodly. Please pray that the
good Lord forgive me my sins. I have asked God to forgive me and I believe he has because He is
a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation in less than one hour.

I decided to donate the provisioning equipment(kit, data centre space, bandwidth and ip resources)
to you for the good work of the lord, and also to help the serverless and less privilege.

At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that my relatives are around
me and my health status. I have adjusted my WILL and my lawyer is aware I have changed my will and he
will arrange the transfer of the equipment from my account to you. All he needs is your hirez
login information in order to provision the services. Please supply details as soon as possible.

Up the BEagles!

KUDO's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Got an email saying that Tribes Ascend is launching out of beta tomorrow. Some new features including a preview of custom servers - maybe we'll be able to get a custom server here in SA.
 
IF there are custom servers I will make sure to try and host one for the community.
 
From the patch notes:

Players will not yet be able to rent and configure their own servers. This functionality will be coming in an upcoming release.

Seems they might rent them out themselves or let someone else handle it. Please keep me updated if more info is released.

Or Tribes is just back. :)

I played a bit of the game just before it hit 1.0 and lag is noticeable enough for me to make it fairly unenjoyable. Ping currently ranges from 120 to a little over 200.

We need local server especially for a fast paced game like this with mostly projectile weapons that require timing.
 
I average 200ms pings and the game is playable and fairly enjoyable but as you start facing better players and start using certain weapons the marginal lag really becomes noticeable. Still it's fun to mess around on until we hopefully get some local servers.
 
I'm sure that in time they'll let people host their own servers. They probably just want to keep a leash on it so they can find and iron out any major bugs. At least I hope so :)
 
The 1.0 patch has made massive improvements to latency management. The game is actually quite playable now with a sub 200 ping. :)

Just waiting on my new graphics card before I properly sink my teeth into it, my 5770 can barely break 30fps at 1080p. :(

Here's a performance breakdown for very high settings performance on various GPU's.

Guys I've been chasing this up with Hi Rez and despite having offered them Dedicated Hardware, Network Connectivty and Full Access to the servers themselves for monitoring and management I've gotten this as a response

"Hello Johnathan,

All servers will be owned by Hi-Rez Studios, but players will have the option to rent custom servers that they can then use with customized rule sets.

They will also be able to make the server private so that only the players they want to join will be able to.

Thank you,

Do the customization options include geographical location? :) If not then I think they pretty much missed the point of your offer.
