Stub my toe on the base on Hoki errry time, so annoying. Was playing on the LA server yesterday and the guy who made the map said it was done "late at night, oops". certainly a good feeback loop actually playing the game with the guys making it

[Shakey-Lo]

jester whats it like playing on LA from WA (assuming you're still WA) is it playable on high ping?

[Marv]

Playing on NY servers from Syd (260-300 ping) felt better than T1 or T2 netcode, and miles better than TA.

[Shakey-Lo]

cool maybe I will be able to play with you cunts then especially as HO is not purely reliant on ping unlike every other tribes position

[rain]

Im currently playing from Japan and ping roughly 130 to Syd. It feels closer to 250 but im also of a POS pc so its hard to tell at the moment.

Feels like the good old HPB days.

[jEstEr]

Where in Japants are you ?

Shakey yeah still in WA and I was pinging 240 and to be honest I thought it played like shit. Felt like I was playing in thick soup, you know them feels.

[Larno]

Anyone from NZ playing ?

On the Sydney server I was pinging around 120 (from the middle of the NT), went on the US servers and was pinging around 90

Apparently it loops at 250ms so your actual ping would have been 250 + 90.

updated list with the 3 new maps
arena echidna, aria 2, ignitus

[Nasty Hobbit]

updated OP with new 0.18.0 LT maps: Brynhildr, Coral, Exhumed, Halo, Raptor
and updated grassy, dam, iratus, slte-01

Obviously some of these maps are quite rough and early works in progress - but how much attention do you think has been paid to the actual terrain design? From the screenies much of it looks like randomly generated fractal maps. It's impossible to tell from screenies though, but do you think these guys have some good mapper skills? Do we need to dispatch DOX?

There's no doubt that DOX is probably the best mapper in the Tribes franchise. He also understands gameplay dynamics. If his name is even associated with any maps it would give them real credibility...Not saying they can't get there on their own, but promising 5150 are in the first tourny is the only other move they have...and T.V burned that.

Verdant feels completed, but there's no way it should have vehicles. Suggestions for popular maps from t2 classic would be any no vehicle, smallish maps that can be played with LT type numbers...e.g. Beggars Run, Damnation, DeadlyBirdSong & Pandemonium. The best Vehicle inclusive maps would be Katabatic, No Shelter and harvester. A Minotaur style map could be fun to try shields and heavies on too.

[ColonelBlair]

Feign got a lot of play in late T2 iirc

Jagged Claw too

[Nasty Hobbit]

i'd say the top 5 maps in aus have been:

kryosis (stonehenge'y)
brynhildr (hilderbryn'y)
minora
outpost 99 (dangerous crossing'y)
sunset cove

we've not been playing base, mostly because they're still working on it. LT suits the numbers we've been getting and is ready for release imo.

[whitewhale]

new outpost isnt that great, they have progressively made that map worse...feels less like DX than it ever did

i would add elite and clusterrail to those
