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

Yeah I don't understand why people complain about the generator position.
However I would agree they need to put something like a small ventilation shaft on one side, easy to defend and tight spaces so explosives take it out.
[QUOTE=The golden;34834614]How is that bad? The previous gen-room was impossible to defend. It had so many corridors and nooks-n-crannies for Inf's to hide in. [B]On top of that, it had EXTREMELY EASY enemy access outside via the tunnel, so juggernauts could just walk right in. It was TERRIBLE.[/B][/QUOTE]
Odd. That's exactly the reason I found Bella Omega generator easy to defend. I have to do very little aiming when they all come from that one hole.
I had a seriously intense game. The way I class my games is how much I got into it, in this case I was shaking like hell when we were both down to out last few guys with no respawns and I was the top killer 27 kills. As a pathfinder.

But that was my favorite part of the map, had fun spamming it on offense AND defense.
-God damn it, ninjad, the bolded quote and everything-
Got a beta key the other day, will play over the weekend.
I messed around on Tribes and Tribes 2, but never really went online. This looks really great.
[sp]Glad to see this thread is full of optimists[/sp]
It's actually just Funion being Funion. Most of us follow his creed of optimism
Also add me to friends, so ronery playing by myself :[
Buckzor
or Buck
I don't know which one you need to add to friends, I changed my in game name in start of the beta.
Last round someone grabbed the enemy flag and camped on the platform under the map, just to keep them from scoring, since we were ahead and time was running out. This really needs to be fixed. :v:
SANIC
On a more serious note, this game is rather badly optimized. For the graphics it offers, it provides a rather poor framerate compared to BF3/Crysis.

dunno if i want to bother finishing this :d
ok so i was in this game and it was 4-0 to us
im a brute and theres this gay jug spamming nades from their base on the map with the bridge in the middle
so i fire my heavy spinfusor at him, it knocks him off the tower he was standing on and right onto their flag pole
just as this happens, a pathfinder doing 10000000000000000000000000000000000 kmh slams right into him, doesnt get the flag and gets blown up
the enemy team went on to win 5-4 :(

[QUOTE=Funion;34834340]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[/QUOTE]
get the raider thumper and get about .001 kills per match with it
Eagles should add me IGN is Mikhos. I Raid a lot, and therefore am trash in Arena mode.
Also I also echo sentiments: The expansive underground base for Bella was fun. If attackers were too heavy on the tunnel, you could easily move up and prevent infs from getting into the hallways, and if defense was too heavy on the tunnel, you could go in from the main base. I thought it was balanced. Now this tiny cramped hallway just makes the whole generator part of the map much less entertaining. It's cramped and filled with turrets and force fields, which is boring to defend or attack.

Not sure how I feel about using wiggle effects as transitions. I can see what you where going for but you might need to go the extra sanic to pull it off.

The effects are temporary too.

I played pathfinder and in one life killed 2 juggernauts, 3 brutes, 10 infiltrators and around 5 other pathfinders. I was also the only one defending it, so yeah, I guess I just found it really easy to defend.

The real issue here is that you were playing something other than CTF.
i like my pathfinders medium-rare what about you guys
I like my Pathfinders plastered all over my Brutes carapace as they slam into me at over 200 kilometers per hour.
I'm quite liking brute actually. I played him for a round, ended up with 40-ish kills and got a quatra kill with fractal grenades.
What are the 2 must have perks for Brute? Also energy pack or shield pack?
Did they bork the netcode in the last patch? I'm teleporting and having some of my actions ignored/stuck for a few seconds like BF3 netcode on steroids.
That or my wireless connection suddenly went total shit today.

I've been trying the shield pack (fully upgraded), and, I'm kind of regretting it. With the low energy the brute has to start with, the shield only lasts maybe one turret hit when fully charged (which is an outright idiotic thing when charging the enemy base). I think of it like rechargeable HP, though I keep forgetting to activate it when I'm in danger. Mostly because flying is more profitable and dodge friendly.

Does potential energy not help with the low energy?

When you're dealing with some annoying mosquito pathfinder doucheweasel who's spinspamming you, your potential energy doesn't help when you can't jet due to you using your shield to block one disc.

I want them still squirming on the table as I fork them.

Sounds not that great. Unsure what to take now, I wanna get good with 1 heavy class and Brute seems to be fun, but he sounds too fat to do anything properly.
I've concluded that the newest update is completely fucked. Even after [I]reinstalling[/I] it won't launch.

Did you try repairing the files or verifying integrity?
What happens exactly?

[I]No, I skipped straight ahead to reinstalling[/I].

Hit play, "[B]TRIBES[/B] ASCEND" splash screen and then it stays there.
