With feathery wings and a harp in their hands, those angels have announced via the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Tribes\/comments\/3jp0wj\/see_what_is_coming_to_our_first_pts\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><em>Tribes <\/em>subreddit<\/a>&nbsp;there is to be a patch coming to the game in the very near future.<\/p> <p>Fittingly dubbed the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1Fnu0Xe9bnZAVPu9eLLBvE2rgZcdqVd7x3SF3ayIDkto\/pub\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><i>Out of the Blue<\/i> update<\/a>, the patch makes some major updates to the game: the game&rsquo;s nine classes will all be merged into just three (Light, Medium, and Heavy). The different roles each class had before will still be present in the form of loadouts for each of the new classes.<\/p> <p>A new Capture the Flag map called <i>Terminus <\/i>is also being introduced. Some smaller changes include weapon tweaking and changes to the loadout system to reflect the bigger class shakeup. According to the creative director of <i>Tribes<\/i>, the patch notes don&rsquo;t include everything being changed, as feedback throughout the test period will be taken into consideration.<\/p> <p>The public server that tests the update will go live on September 14, while an official release will come at a later date.<\/p> <p>Thank you, Hi-Rez.
