Here are some methods to show people you are playing Tribes: Ascend outside of the game.

1. Xfire (http://www.xfire.com/), will watch your computer processes for the Tribes executable and will let your friends know when you are playing.

2. Raptr (http://raptr.com/), similar to Xfire. If you have had Tribes: Ascend installed since beta it may not detect the game, I had to uninstall and re-install the game in order for it to be detected.

3. Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/about/), add the game to your Games Library as a non-steam game, edit the properties of the game link and change the Target and add game=200 product=10 to the end of the target so you have something like "D:\Program Files (x86)\Hi-Rez Studios\HiRezLauncherUI.exe" game=200 product=10, now launch the game from Steam whenever you play and your Steam friends will see that you are playing.

4. Join TeamSpeak 3 with server alliedtribalforces.com and jump on the T:A channel :)

Find me on Xfire as thzgryphon, on Raptr as ***** and on Steam as *****rc.

Thanks Gryphon. Just headed back out to sea but I will do that when I get back. Need to load TS on my new computer and this is a good reminder.

Thanks,

Actually it's available on Steam now as well. I finally installed and played for like 30 mins. Man I suck, but then again unlike most of you I didn't play the original Tribes games much either :)

I'll have to remember to hop on TS next time.

Oh and what's everybody's in-game name? Mine of course is SOBGrunt.

Gryphon & Stang, here are some more The XMEN Clan Forums :: View topic - Tribes Ascend Player Names for Friends List (http://www.xmenclan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3503)

Hot Damn has been on TS a lot. Monday nights are TA night.

I uninstalled and installed the Steam one.
