[QUOTE=Chirno;34857130]anyone have any idea what this blank accolade is [img]http://i.imgur.com/yOIPX.jpg[/img] when I got it all it said was "Cirno" in the middle of the screen also sorry for small rez, had to windowed mode(plus i play 640x480) to get the screenshot because the screenshot button and printscreen doesnt work for me[/QUOTE] Printscreen does work now, it sends it to My documents\My Games\Tribes something. But it does giant BMPs. I use the steam overlay for it.

It would be like the crosshair the jets and helicopters have in battlefield that compensate for airspeed etc. Would you be cool with it if you could basically train yourself with that till you got the feel for it down and then be set?

[QUOTE=dill6869;34853753]I went so fast I got a key 10 hours ago[/QUOTE] Got a key just now. GOTTAGOSLOW.

I thought they would have fixed the holes behind the slides on temple ruins when the servers were down, but no. Both flag carriers were hidden below the map.

servers down for anyone else?

Down for me.

crashed my pc fucking downed servers

I ordered an inventory station at the very top point of the enemy base on Bella Omega, so I could get all my impact nitrons back, then when no one was guarding the flag, I swooped down and stole the flag and got the winning cap. Feels good man. We won 5-4, The other team was winning 4-1 when I joined :v:

[QUOTE=Mingebox;34857124]It's kind of depressing how well that works.[/QUOTE] Not any more depressing than any other time a team sucks. If they had one decent... anyone on defense that wouldn't work.

My shrike isn't wobbly anymore, time to go back to being that annoying pilot that everyone hates.

Servers look like they're down... Gonna start saving up for the doom's heavy bolt launcher. Want to get that class set up, pretty expensive though, he pretty much needs Mines & Super Heavy which is another 76.8k xp.

Temple Ruins is a Gravbike paradise. Current strategy is to go brute, head to enemy gen room, fuck shit up for 600 EXP, and then go to town on a gravbike as a tech, repairing it when it gets damaged and roadkilling anyone I find.

[QUOTE=Aedus;34856387]Mass = How much explosives knock you away. Super heavy means more mass so you move less when you get hit by explosives Pathfinder -10% mass means when you Nitron boost it sends you further and faster.[/QUOTE] Also pretty sure it makes your jet pack lift you faster/easier. Seems like it anyway.

The game was better when nobody used shrikes. Luckily I've just unlocked Doomfat, so suck on my big red rocket shrikerakers! :zoid:

I use shrikes to give me an extra boost back to my base

[QUOTE=Foogooman;34859797]I use shrikes to give me an extra boost back to my base[/QUOTE] I use Shrikes to be a [B]massive douchebag[/B] to enemy cappers.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;34860193]I use Shrikes to be a [B]massive douchebag[/B] to enemy cappers.[/QUOTE] please die or just uninstall the game either is fine

[QUOTE=krail9;34860214]please die or just uninstall the game either is fine[/QUOTE] I love the sound of gibs bouncing across the hull.

worlds longest game ever, I had 40 kills, a shitton of points (40k in total) and at the very end. right before the XP thing comes up, the server crashes. Do I still get XP for that/bonus XP?

If the server reports the round, yes. AFAIK, you are given the XP from a round you left as soon as the round ends on the server If it was indeed a server-side crash then probably not.

[QUOTE=The very best;34857530]What do you use to record and be able to play smoothly at the same time?[/QUOTE] Fraps. It's not really smooth tbh, it nearly halves my frame rate and gives me huge slow downs in some points which makes it a pain in the ass to aim.

It boils down to two choices when recording, Fraps which you need a beast of a PC to power through or Dxtory in which you need spare internal hardrives by the shitton (Or a separate SSD/ drive Specifically for recording) DXtory is best for recording shit as it doesn't effect your FPS, but you generally need to buy new hardware.

This game isn't very fun anymore. 25 minute matches that end with one team beating the other 2-1. No one wants to attack. Way too defense oriented, I think I'm done for awhile or until they incentivize offense. It's just boring.

[QUOTE=jiggu;34861549]This rarely happens for me.[/QUOTE] Its 9/10 games for me and it's seriously killing any desire I have to play. Going into open beta is only going to make it worse.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;34861574]Its 9/10 games for me and it's seriously killing any desire I have to play.

It did just happen though, couldnt breach the enemy defenses and I was pretty much alone so I just ran around as raider and pissed people off.

What this game needs is a built-in recorder that lets you go and record later when you get those out-of-the-blue kill streaks or crazy shots. Halo 3 has something of the sort that works very nicely.
