You can still play Descent 3 over the internet even though the PXO tracker is down.

Check out: http://d3.descent.cx/tracker.d3

YEP! So hurry up and install it!

RIP also hosts a "Wednesday Night Fight Club"! Send your level requests to gallows@ripteam.com!

http://rbb.ripteam.com. Stop by and say hello. We've got lots of people who are more than willing to help you get setup to play.

See ya's in the mines.

It would be great if gamesas could get the PXO tracker back online ------------------
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
------------------

Ya I go on the tracker all the time and almost always there is somebody on there.
Give us a D4 beta

Yes, I think the PXO tracker would be a great start to bringing people back to the game and make it easier for new players to find games. Seeing as Parallax Online was a different company separate from gamesas, I doubt this will happen.

If it happens, I'll be there.

Since gamesas re-launched, I'm seriously tripping. Descent... And Freespace 2 as prominently displayed on the corner of the main page, has pretty much revived my faith in humanity.

For those of you who haven't played any of the Descent games since PXO went down:

There are still LOTS of us playing, using various methods to find games.

The .cx tracker Capm mentioned above is one, another really popular one with features like IRC and auto-level-downloading built-in is Vortex.

Jump in the mines, we'll see you there!

I'm still a memory


WHAT---- NO BANANAS????

PXO is indeed dead... maybe gamesas will update it once more...

still, Vortex is quite nice. Easy to use too. http://vexclan.de/ VEXi-Kaizerwolf is my name. Know me, fear me... sorta.

The game may be ill, but it's still alive and kicking rather hard... Anyone who wants to play can get a copy off of eBay and feel free to use one of the services provided above to join in on the insanity!

Yeap, what's this forum good for?



not a single banana? jeeez


I'll bring my own nanners.



Yeap, Descent 3, almost 10 years old, still kicking hard on:

so what are all you guys waiting for, hop on in, pick up a fusion cannon and kiss your deriere goodbye

Wow , great to see ya all here, and to see
- the Descent-Series are not forgotten and trashed -


Just a few weeks ago, when i try'd to run another big Pomotion-Project for Descent3 Multiplayer,
i thinked about how it feels - to be a part of this Myth, this secret thing - for Players of modern
Games today. Its like a ghost, who all know, all respect, who feels so mytical like a castle in
the clouds.
... It simply feels great to be a part of this - all over these years

A friend gave me a word with the rate:
"Hey, you're not simply in a community. Over the time of years you know each other of Players so well, you're in a brotherhood like never seen on a game. Unique, inimitable, ... "

And when he said me the words, a lightning comes into my mind.
Yeah , he is right. We're like a brotherhood. !

-----------------------------------

I think, if its clear a "Descent4" will be maded, alot of Descent-Pilots would be very proud to support
gamesas by research technologie and indeas , and support gamesas with the Tech and KnowHow she
have available around the world. I know , we have some very good programmers, designers, small publishers, and tons of DS and root -servers. And dont forget Projects like Sectorgame, Into Cerberon, ODF, ... a.s.o.

I, by myself, would be proud to support gamesas for researching and producing the "Descent4" with
- using the "atomchen" rootserver - 4 free ofcourse.
- a Place on my "big Charlie" (webhosting a.s.o.) - 4 free too, ofcourse
- and partial a place on one of our "DeepBlue-Server", if our team agree to this.
- Places on some of my/our high frequented sites like Imagehoster (pichoster) , Youtube-Clone (my-video) a.s.o. to be able to advertise for the Project and Game. (almost 4 free too ... )

-----------------------------------

... ahhm ... hehe, i still again have a idea: ^^
-= A Game will come out. A kind of a Game you'll never seen before. Be prepared for it and try to stay COOOOOL ... =-
-= Prepare for "Descent4" , train now at "Descent3" =-

... ohh - a video idea ... ^^^

- A man in his room is sitting by his computer.
- He is watching the Descent Promotion Trailer on the net.
- He try simulate a bit the flying and fighting with his keyboard and is running to day-deraming a bit too.
- A very hard crash on the rooms wall let him awake and scared for a moment.
- he looks to the rooms wall ... and he see anything, silouette of a ... Descent4 Pyro in the dust of the crashed wall.
- Same moment comes out 2 Pilots, from Pyro.
- She grabs him hard, take him with in the Pyro
- now 1st Person View of the scared man. ^^
- He is very, very anxious, becaus he really dont know whats happened.
- he need a few seconds to realize, he is in a Pyro.
- In his mind ... "This cannot be, this cannot happen, its only a game, or not ???" ...
- But in a very short time he get it, he runs to flying and fighting like the hell ...
- ==> here are needed some very good action infight scenes where people see, how to move and dogfight with a Pyro. (dance'n fight or simlinear) <==
- Then the screen / video is fading over to black via a weapon-Hit on the screen (weapon effects)
- and a text is fading in ...

Gamers - We Want You!

... On the Place, you never been before ...

... For a kind of Game, you never played before ...

- Attention -

Prepare for

-= DESCENT IV =-

-----------------------------------

A very low warm but a bit strange too - voice could read this comment / text , so people simply dont have only a silent text. And the Voice may bring alot mor 'mystic" / "flair" in there.

Text is fading in and out , line by line. This should give a higher exciding to people, who watch the video.
They need to expect anything , to stay on the video and dont stop watching ...
But there i'm not shute, which effects would be better.

Ofcourse, the "DESCENT IV" Text / Logo should get the full taunts / sounds like at the intro of Descent2. Videoeffects too ..
This still is absolut impressiv when i see and hear it today at Descent II, and i've seen it really many times. A big shower comes over my back and you'll see some tears in my eyes ...
(Same at the start of Descent III 's Intro. ) ^^

-----------------------------------

Greets to all from "Wormaus"

It probably isn't going to happen with that whole Outrage thing.

But.... the d3 source code would be nice.



EDIT:

Or a new patch for....

a fix to the White Box Bug.
The Geforce 8800 bug (which is probably more of a Nvidia fix than a d3 one)
The Fusion bug fix.
A fix for the game crashing with another pilot using BP microwave.
Invisible napalm fix.

a 10 year over due patch, get to work guys!

Descent 3 is still alive, gamesas has an agreement with GameTap for GameTap to offer Descent 2 and 3 on the GameTap service.

W00000000T Descent 3 is the best game in the world!

Yep, still alive most certainly. Have a nice day. CAKE!!!

Hey guys,
D3 is still ALIVE

I still play, 10 years ago and today!

In my mind, it still beats out the FPS' of today in terms of gameplay.

Dido, It's one of the few shoot games that requires strategy. You can't beat though how unique every pilot has the option of being.

You can also purchase Descent 3 online from Good Old Games (http://www.gog.com) for little money ($5.99). No need to dig for it on ebay.
