So, to anyone who doesn’t know, Hi-Rez Studios, the people behind Paladins and Smite, have stated that they will be using AI to clone voices and refused to add in any words to contracts that would protect actors from it. More info in the thread. Please share to other VAs.

    Wow! Another Tribes-series player in the wild.

    I don’t know who’s idea it was to put out the update that overhauled the classes and game modes in Tribes:Ascend (Out of the Blue, 1.3, 2015)… I had lost the niches that I loved with my specific class and it felt like the game I was playing was different compared to the one prior to that patch.

    I was a bad shot then (I was but I still am, too), but god damn if I couldn’t rack up those points with my turret placement.

      Worst part of reading this is that I do not remember the year. Or the patch number. But Im fairly positive I know exactly about what you are talking about.

      I’m actually a Tribes 1 player, when 2 came out my PC wasn’t good enough to play it. Tried Ascend but I couldn’t get into it, didn’t seem bad tho.

        Tribes:Ascend WAS good, for a time imo, but got neglected in favour of MoBAs.

        Nice thing is they hosted the Tribes 1 and 2 online for free, if you wanted to see your current PC run it.
