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

[QUOTE=The Luftwaffle;34545792]Halo was heavily inspired from the first tribes games, anyway. Just, slow. And not fun.[/QUOTE] I can definitely see how Halo borrowed from Tribes. As an ex-console scrub I can say that even though Halo is a very slow game its probably one of the few multiplayer console game that actually takes a degree of teamwork and skill to be good at. For a console game, anyway.

[QUOTE=kirederf7;34545387]No one? :( I'm desperate..[/QUOTE] Google the issue? (I really have no idea)

[QUOTE=Raidyr;34542260] Actually defending as a technician is old hat. Put down turrets, motion sensor on flag, then go offense with your thumper.[/QUOTE] Expanding on this; just went 28-7 with two caps. We lost but it was still hilarious playing offense and defense at the same time.

What's the motion sensor even do anyway? Is it like a mine?

[QUOTE=No_0ne;34546510]What's the motion sensor even do anyway? Is it like a mine?[/QUOTE] All I know is that they go poof when I go near them.

So I just played a game where one jug with the new mirv weapon from the other side of the map spammed his mirv launcher at my base for 10 minutes making it impossible for anyone to even go next to it.

I installed it, booted it up, logged in. But no cursor to accept the ToS! So I googled it, and it said I gotta validate the files. And now it's "repairing" with the same speed as the initial download. Seriously? So now it's pretty much just downloading the entire fucking game again because of a missing cursor.

Is there something really weird about the way the mouse works in this game, or am I just bad at aiming? Or is it that the Phase Rifle has a dropoff or projectile delay that I'm not aware of? Because I'm hitting all the shots that I think I missed and missing all the ones that should've hit.

[QUOTE=Numidium;34542845]I love the new UI, and finally the Sentinel gets the Energy Rifle thingie that i've been waiting for since the trailer. It could use a small buff though.[/QUOTE] It's extremely strong if you know how to use it properly.

[QUOTE=Miskav;34546444]Google the issue? (I really have no idea)[/QUOTE] I did, nothing... I contaced support, nothing yet, on the forums they have no idea either... I'm sad...

[QUOTE=-<PsY>-;34547689]It's extremely strong if you know how to use it properly.[/QUOTE] Can you tell me how to use it properly then? I'm serious. I don't see how it's efficient in any way. I already use the capacitor perk to get my max damage up to 510, but even then, the maximum damage I can dish out in a shot is 510, and that means I need 3 shots and the waiting time to get my energy back to full for the second shot to kill a medium enemy. And any shot I take without having full energy is essentially a waste of ammo, so I can't use my jetpack as much as I need to to have proper movement.

As a technician player, I think our turrets need a nerf. They fire way too fast, and grouped together turrets can be incredibly deadly. I played a match of Arx Novena where nobody could get into our base withotu getting murdered by turrets. Right now, turrets fire much too fast and they need a slower fire rate - perhaps 50% fire rate seeing as they do 65 damage, which is lower than the TCN SMG.

Arx Novena is so fucking beautiful. And turrets don't need a nerf.

I wish they had a server browser. It would be so awesome to have everyone on facepunch on one server. I guess if everyone gave each other friend requests it would be possible.

Well, if you want to play with me, add me. Numidium. I suck balls though.

[QUOTE=The golden;34548344]Why do people keep saying Light Turrets need a nerf? They are a defensive item that players deploy. Alone, a single turret does 65 damage and can be pretty much insta-killed by any explosive weapon. Yeah, in groups they are nasty, but isn't that the point? Guess what, everything is nasty when in groups. Get a bunch of Sentinels on your team and you have claymores up the ass and no one can even move. It's called defending for a reason. You're saying you want things to be nerfed so the enemy can raid your base? Wtf.[/QUOTE] It's just idiots who think anything that kills them needs to be nerfed.

Oh and why is it that I can manage to kill fucking heavies by myself with the Phase Rifle, but everytime I drag a medium or light guy down to lik, 9 or 10 % HP, none of my teammates feel like they have to shoot them one fucking time to kill them and give me my damn assist?

Hey op most facepunch multiplayer game threads have a list of fp players. If you feel like updating the op with one my name is Metist. We might even be able to schedule an event by having everyone friend the op.

Who else is europe? - Dumb question, could have checked flags. So I will try and save face and ask what le ingame names are, so I can menace you ingame if I recognise you.

Well this is really annoying, I installed and the mouse doesn't show up in the menu so I attempt to repair which stayed on 0% no matter how many tries. Then I re-download the game from scratch and the same thing happens, try repairing again and it's now stuck on 17.5% repaired no matter what I do.

[IMG]http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7062/yessssn.jpg[/IMG] time for my new addiction what servers do you guys play on? ;o

After playing for about 45 mins I've got to admit this is the most fun I've had in a shooter in ages. It'as just so fast paced and action-packed.

[QUOTE=Numidium;34547898]to get my energy back to full for the second shot to kill a medium enemy.[/QUOTE] Then you are indeed using it wrong. Waiting for your energy to regenrate back to full between each shot is like reloading the sniper rife after each shot. Just hold your fire button after your first shot and feel the magic.

[QUOTE=Gum;34548669]Tried restarting your PC?[/QUOTE] Multiple times.

[QUOTE=Funion;34548989][IMG]http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7062/yessssn.jpg[/IMG] time for my new addiction what servers do you guys play on? ;o[/QUOTE] The servers are currently only hosted by Hi-Rez and it will probably stay that way. To join, there's a quick match/que system, as well as regions.

Me and another raider (I had the arx he had the grenade launcher) just dominated the enemy generator room on Bella Omega. Explosives everywhere. By the end of the game, my buddy and I had over 70 kills. They didn't even manage to upgrade it past level 1 till 4 minutes left in the game.
