Tribes: Ascend v2: I went slow once and it was awful - Games

Cheap fish filets at McDonalds during lent.

Great, my pc broke down and my brother's pc can't run Tribes for shit. BAD TIMING MAN.

Just finished a game where I team grabbed and held the enemy flag the entire time and capped in the last 12 seconds of overtime. 5200xp.

The arena mode seems awful, it's just soldiers and pathfinders and it always comes down to a game of who has more jetpack

Played tribes a little bit on the alpha, then stopped until the recent overhaul (the one with new UI and all) I'm enjoying the shit out of this game, also found a new avatar in this thread. I have been playing raider pretty much exclusively, and I don't see why everyone prefers the arx buster, nade launcher is better in nearly every aspect I think, apart from the learning curve, gotta admit trying to time the nade roll is harder than nades sticking. Also Safety third and scavenger rock, especially in the gen rooms, you become nearly immortal with shields on. I'm thinking of making a short video of me playing and letting you guys see where I can improve on.

Anyone know if destroying a motion sensor with a grenade sets it's alarm off? Or are they impossible to pass without alerting the tech?

[QUOTE=Mr. Crabsworth;34831951]Anyone know if destroying a motion sensor with a grenade sets it's alarm off? Or are they impossible to pass without alerting the tech?[/QUOTE] use mirv launcher on it

[QUOTE=jiggu;34830487]Is that why you go so slow?[/QUOTE] I was stalking you whole game yesterday, you didn't recognize me but you did say you have your own hater squad :v:

What is your ingame name? I noticed at least 2 snipers that rerolled other classes later and tried to stop me from sniping.

Dood. I was being useless piece of shit and deathmatching all round long. Then I got jealous of your phase rifle.

Can I add some of you guys so I can follow you around learning not to be slow?

I am sorta convinced that at the moment 'area' is rather unbalanced; honestly, a solider verses a pathfinder on a very small map is not going to end well for the former.

[QUOTE=Ripper Roo;34832438]Dood. I was being useless piece of shit and deathmatching all round long. Then I got jealous of your phase rifle.[/QUOTE] So you're the one who I had a sniper duel in the long canal thingy with.

[QUOTE=jiggu;34832619]So you're the one who I had a sniper duel in the long canal thingy with.[/QUOTE] Yeah, one time. It wasn't really fair when you whipped out your smg against my poor little pew pew gun though, then I got shot when fleeding :v:

The only reason I use the phase rifle is because I'm in total denial about it being useless as I wasted a fuckton of XP on it :v:

I changed class later to kill the infiltrator guy, he was foiling my sniping with his stealth spinfusor. I think if I were to buy any weapon with gold, I'd get that first, being stealth class with a spinfusor seems awesome, plus it looks so badass in red.

Infiltrators looks so damn sinister it's sexy, however they get pretty easily countered by a multitude of things pretty much every class can do, so they take extreme skill to perform as good as any of the easier classes.

Stealth spinfusor deals the same damage as the light one or less?

Ingame it says the same. [editline]23rd February 2012[/editline] I bought the prism mines, another failure. There's a massive green glowing ball wherever you place them so it's announced from miles away where it is, even if you run around a corner you will notice it before you walk into it.

Nice, thanks. Too bad weapons are so expensive in exp, wouldn't hurt if they at least halved the price, it still would be a freaking lot. I'm not convinced if I want to spend money on Tribes yet, I just started playing this week.

The new map is so fucking boring, I lost interest in playing after 5 minutes.

If you walk around the chutes leading to the generator, you can get under the map.

It's nice to see hi-rez did their homework. The children of Pheonix logo in the volcano map means they probably remember the lore and may do tie ins one day. My god, imagine Cybrid invasion events. Some point during the match, some kind of drop pod base thing land and cybrid units fuck up everyone's shit.

Played another round where multiple people on our team knew about the generator room bug, and would sneak in as infiltrator, destroy the generator, then hop out of the map, and repeat.

New map is okay. New Bella is god awful, but that's just me being a hater and my job being harder now. EDIT: Also Arena is a huge fail. It's just rank 33s spamming their beautiful throbbing thumpers. :x

im thinking of changing my juggernaut routine to the suave ways of the infiltrator it's fun being a juggerbro but now that i hit 100% i need more any tips i heard stealth spinfusor was a rainbow of fun

I wish there was a replay/demo system already. I wanna save my awesome kills and grabs.

I hate Bella Omega even more awful now. The map design is painful to look at and the fact that they got rid of the underground generator room saddens me.

Just place them right around corners just out of sight/areas where people might come in fast and I imagine they should be fine.
