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

Why do people feel the conviction to walk right into my fractal grenades after finally managing to kill me? I go on a rampage in their gen room with brute and as i'm about to die because their team finally pulled their shit together and defended, I throw fractals at the group attacking me, they obviously dodge it, then kill me. Then immediately after killing the guy who was raping them, they feel the need to kill themselves and give me points by walking right towards the glowing green fractal grenade that I threw.

They have a rave party to celebrate your death.

[QUOTE=jiggu;34832875]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.[/QUOTE] They work a bit like SLAM's from HLDM. Put them around a corner, so that the green laser crosses the hallway.

[QUOTE=LuckyLuke;35051051][t]http://i.imgur.com/nHcNa.jpg[/t] I had only 170XP before I did this match (Upgraded most things with what I had) and earned 12,000XP in one match, although the scoreboard doesn't actually say 12k, it's also because of the many millions of accolades I earnt, One Man Army, Wingman, Utility Belt e.t.c.

my sweaty body glides across the erect mound where i ejaculate my speed into the sky

[QUOTE=Funny Hats;35051636]I'm glad that badges aren't boosted with the rest of XP, since they're perma-earned. I shudder to think of all the XP I'd be missing out on otherwise.[/QUOTE] They are. From the Hirez devs: [quote] The XP number you see below the badge is already converted based on VIP and Boost. Example: Some first tier badges award 500 XP - this converts to 750 XP for VIP users and 1500 XP for boosted players. Sorry this wasn't made clear off the bat! I'm going to try to get this as part of the performance...[/quote] [quote]I've made a change to the end of mission screen to show all the Badges earned (icons) as well as the XP rewards. They'll show up in the Performance bonus area and VIP/Boost (if applicable) next patch.[/quote]

[QUOTE=jeimizu;35051584]Earns 31k, spends 2k. Why?[/QUOTE] Because I was always inside their gen room, what the fuck was I going to spend the points on? Upgrading their generator?

I should have tried this game sooner, it's brilliant. That feeling when you grab your first flag, the music switches and you have 6 guys chasing you while you're trying to ski your way back, then score the flag is awesome.

[QUOTE=jeimizu;35051642]They are. From the Hirez devs:[/QUOTE] Welp, time to not play until I get some more boost. I've got VIP but the prospect of triple XP on badges is too tempting. I've already earned a over 10,000 xp from VIP-boosted badges alone.

Here's hoping they reset unlocks for the main release, I'll have lodsofemone and won't waste any of it on stuff I don't like this time

[QUOTE=NanoSquid;35052332]Here's hoping they reset unlocks for the main release, I'll have lodsofemone and won't waste any of it on stuff I don't like this time[/QUOTE] I'd kill for the ability to re-spec from the store.

wait so i could have gotten ~60k xp instead of ~30k xp for my badges? you make me sadface hirez

[QUOTE=Clio;35052388]wait so i could have gotten ~60k xp instead of ~30k xp for my badges? you make me sadface hirez[/QUOTE] Unless you're a VIP, you actually could've gotten ~90k xp instead of 30k xp. I just wanted to put a little salt in that wound.

I just played this for the first time today and it seems really cool, a bit like BF2142(the titan like ships, vehicles, teamplay etc~) but more futuristic.Also skiing is p awesome but I suck at it [editline]8th March 2012[/editline] any tips?I've read the guide in the OP

Always hold the ski button (unless you want to stop and/or run around), and as you're going up a hill, use the jetpack to sustain speed.

Recently got the timing down for pathfinder shotgun to fire faster. After firing immediately reload then try to fire. You will have reloaded and you skip the cocking animation after you shot so you shot like twice as fast. Its like using the double barrel again. It doesn't work on the brute shotgun.

I was about to get my first Unstoppable spree easily, then the match ended. :suicide:

How do I remove the error message when launching tribes via steam? It's getting incredibly annoying. Something to do with launch parameters.
