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

best kill I ever got was a 360 blue plate special from 2 feet away, propelling me and letting me land a melee kill on a sentinel i flew over.
[QUOTE=jiggu;34849604]While I don't think projectile inheritance is a bad thing, I think it's unnecessary. It's a bit hard to aim at someone going 200 sanics one way while you're going 200 sanics another way and projectile inheritance makes it pretty retarded. You pretty much gotta follow him in order to hit him.[/QUOTE]
Well the problem with having no inheritance is that if you shoot a projectile thats at a constant 199 sanics while your going 200 sanics you're going to shoot yourself.
Another thing about inheritance, what if your moving forward at 200 sanics and you shoot a projectile at 200 sanics backwards?
I made a little something:

I doubt there are any projectiles slower than the high end of normal movement speeds. Shooting a projectile backwards at 200 kph without projectile speed inheritance would move backwards at 200kph, with inheritance it would float in the air.
[QUOTE=The golden;34850510]As someone who often plays defensively, working to keep both my deployables up, and those of my teammates:
[B][U]I AM GETTING SO FUCKING TIRED OF MIRV SPAMMERS[/U][/B]
All it takes is one Juggernaut with a MIRV to park his motherfucking ass on a cliff and just tap his mouse button ONCE and it's enough to wipe out every living thing and deployable around the flag. Click another few times and all the base defenses are fucking gone. And unlike Raiders, Infiltrators, Brutes, and Soldiers, Juggernauts are not stopped by normal defensive tactics and deployables. They can destroy an entire base from well outside the fire limits of any turret. You can't snipe them either because the sniper rifle only does 500 damage to a heavy (which is like being coughed at), so they'll just relocate so their health can regen.
This is seriously starting to ruin the game experience for me.[/QUOTE]
we love you on the inside
ive never played a game where 0% inheritance was a problem and i never had a problem with the projectiles in this game while there was still no inheritance... but then all the tribes vets started whining about how they couldnt hit anything and it wasnt like tribes 2, so they added it. i just want to understand why people want it sooo bad. the only argument i can understand would be the weapons that explode after a certain amount of time(thumper/nades) because going straight and throwing a nade that then hits you would suck, but spinfuser/bolt launcher/chainguns i dont understand at all. its still a stupid mechanic to me.
It would be interesting if the game was actually built around the inheritance thing, as in they'd teach you how to actually lead targets and shit. Or if you had a little crosshair that told you how much your shots will offset, or SOMETHING that doesn't make you think your gun is fucking trolling you
Pfft.
Shift -> Ski
(Same as sprinting, gotta go fast)
Space -> Jetpack
Right click -> Zoom in
Q - Spot
E - Use
Thumb 1 - Grenade
Thumb 2 - Melee
default are fine
hold space to go fast
hold rmb to fly
rmb being next to lmb means i can fly and shoot easily
i can't shoot when i gotta go fast so skiing stays on space.

Open beta, inevitable influx of terrible players. I only died four times.
Any tips on playing raider? I found it's quite good in a defensive role and for raping generator rooms, but then again so is juggernaut, so what's the point? You're quite vulnerable in open areas since it's hard to hit anything with the arx buster and shield pack won't help you much since you need to use the jetpack constantly when fighting enemies. The smg is nice, but again, it's hard to get consistent hits with.

the raider is a better skirmisher than the juggernaut
I got a beta key, but couldn't get on my computer to use it.
Now, it's open, which means I don't need a key anymore.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
EDIT: 50 posts AND a pageking?
Geez.

Jugg just spam fusion mortar indoors, everything dies.
[QUOTE=LtBubbles;34516001]I just realised something
i'm terrible with bullet weapons
what do.[/QUOTE]
my friend sucks too
just practice a lot and you will be ok
I wish they had a more advanced target practice, where enemies would move somewhat realistic, not just up and down in a fixed linear path.

Do it while skiing. Not as easy as you may think.
[QUOTE=Aedus;34851344]Do it while skiing. Not as easy as you may think.[/QUOTE]
Done that, you're right but it's still not close to real games. The enemies must move like scared rabbits when I shoot at them.
Uploading a new video which doesn't look like shit (I hope).
Jugg seems way better indoors than he should be.
[QUOTE=Niklas;34851617]Jugg seems way better indoors than he should be.[/QUOTE]
Juggerfats are king. Problem is the mortar is way too good indoors, you can launch it around corners and rape everything, and if anyone gets close just spinfusor them.
Can anyone explain why I can't select 1920x1080 in the 16:9 options?
I'm on a 1920x1080 monitor too.

I'll do the typical thing and ask if you've updated your drivers recently. If you have a control panel for your GPU also check it's running 1920x1080 natively.
Gotta love Technician's Turret + Thumper combo.
