I was recently contacted by some folks at Hi-Rez Studios, and they'd like to hold a Tribes: Ascend play night for the Arqade community and possibly follow it with a SMITE closed beta key giveaway. I think working with Hi-Rez could be really fun, and just wanted to gauge interest here before I go ahead with planning out specifics.

Let me know your thoughts!

  • I think this is a great idea, but I probably won't be able to play. I was invited to the Tribes beta before it even released and I haven't been able to get it all downloaded yet. My internet sucks.

  • Maybe I'm paranoid, but what's in it for them?

    @RonanForman Since we have such an active community, it's a great opportunity for them to get more people playing their games and excited about the SMITE release.

  • I'm in, as long as no one rages at me for enjoying my Plasma Gun.

    A good friend of mine is in a management position at Hi-Rez and I actually attended the Tribes: Ascend launch party, so I can vouch firsthand - those guys are awesome.

First of all, of course I'm interested, why wouldn't I be.

Secondly, normally when the community play games together, we play at 6 UTC, as this is evening in Europe and afternoon in America, so this is the best time to play on weekends.

And finally, I am recording when we play and sticking it on our YouTube channel, that's final.

  • Awesome, I will keep these things in mind when planning it out with them :-)

  • Arqade has a youtube channel?

  • I'd think that if they don't want SMITE beta footage released, we could make the idea of recording the play sessions a little less "final".

  • @Sterno I was referring to the Tribes: Ascend pay night, of course I need to check with the devs about footage before posting anything from a closed beta.

  • I'll make sure to bring it up with them to see if it's ok.
