Single player experience?

[Biofluorescent Meatball]

How forced can a player get to be with friends or other people at all in order to play this game?
Are there any simgle player experiences? Is there a story mode that can be followed by one single player without the need of help from others in order to play this?

And as a free game, how much is spending money needed in order to play this? (because most of no all free games have microtransaction markets

Well first of all tribes is a really fun experience playing with your self, but playing with others makes the game even more fun.
Getting IP or what ever its called takes a long long time, investing in the game does help you unlock a load of stuff.
But you still need to keep in mind that:
The player base is dramaticly dropping and the bugs are getting worse after each update.
But in the end its your choice.

There are no updates for over a year now. HiRez has explicitly put the game into a "Maintenance only" state which means unless something breaks the game badly then it won't be fixed. All manpower went into SMITE.
It's a huge shame because this game was actually awesome until the pay-to-win things were introduced immediately before they put it on the shelf.

Money is not necessary at all, it just lets you unlock quicker or get some weapons that are cash only and better than their original counterparts.

There is no singleplayer. Only Tribes: Vengeance had a single player campaign which left on a cliffhanger shortly before Sierra/Vivendi/etc violently cut the cord before shutting down. Even the first patch was canceled and it was ready to be deployed.

It seems history repeats constantly with this IP as Tribes is yet again dying slowly and painfully. All it needed was love.

google tribes revengeance, ppl are still playing and its an even battleground (weapons wise)

Ok I have to clarify some stuff people are just making up.

There are NO weapons that are cash only! The only thing that's cash only are skins and voice packs!

There is few to no p2w in this game, as there are hardly any wepons that are just better than others, everything has it's drawbacks.

Earning currency doesn't take too much time and all the equipment costs only 25 % of what it used to cost at launch.

Game can't get worse with every update as there are no updates anymore.

The playerbase is NOT dramatically dropping, there are always enough people to play with, at least in EU.


Tyrannosaurus, if you have no idea or stopped playing long ago don't tell people stuff that's not true.

The game is dead.....
Hi-rez ditched the game lolol

[76561198156405766]

the games not really dead yet, it just sucks
it discourages the need for landing MAs, you cant name your game Tribes and discourage MAs...now if it were named something new and nobody was caught up on the name Tribes it would probably be lliked by alot more people, but to name this game Tribes just feels like an insult

Well that was great. Not one person chose to actually answer the question that was asked. Let's all just harp on how bad or dead the game is and completely ignore the purpose of the post.

Sorry, Zweis†ein, I wish I could give you an answer but I too came here looking to ask the same question.
