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

So what's your guys' opinion on the whole 50% inheritance vs. 100% inheritance thing?

Okay I want to add my friend on this game, so i click add friend, write his name, and the he did the same. Nothing happens. At all. Any ideas?

i am torn between saving up for bane of my existence, the thumper, or just nab the pathfinder crossbow right now

I airmailed an invisible infiltrator on crossfire

[QUOTE=Dummkopfs!;35081741]Restart game...its THAT stupid, i hate it[/QUOTE] Mine worked fine after I joined a match. Also they wont' appear online if they're in training I think. Either way it's kinda buggy.

Does anyone have a list of all the badges?

this game is too addictive,the br server now isnt lagged and there is plenty of people playing there. finaly after 5 years of tf2, i find something more addictive

Is it just me, or are a lot of players REALLY egocentric? I mean Losing/lost -> get called the "worst team ever", I mean, you're the best player in tribes! if you lose, it HAS to be your team's fault! The enemy can't actually be BETTER, you're the best player in the game! Also, playing arena earlier, someone was playing doombringer and insulted us because we kept going for him("Weakies going for me because they can only handle heavy prey", more or less were his words). Right, because a heavy armoured guy with a homing missle and chaingun is totally not a high priority target...

Either that or shrike boosting as a pathfinder usually insures there will be plenty of non-rage comments at the end of the round. "Jesus christ DonKnotts 298 sanics" "wtf" "how?"

[QUOTE=The golden;35083957]So my dad started playing this recently. He likes to play defensively so I got him the Facebook gold so he could buy the Tech. Sadly, this also means he's stuck with the tech SMG. Now he's very new to the game and isn't familiar with the concepts at this point, and the fact he's stuck with a projectile SMG that only does 80dmg is frustrating him quite a bit. He's lucky if he gets ONE kill per round. [/QUOTE] As long as he stays close to his turret he shouldn't he be fine, at least against all the no hp classes ? I farm pathfinders all day, all night as a technician :)

Except in the two cases I remember from the top of my head, we eventually won by two points, and There was a 5-life gap or so in the other. Even if we weren't doing amazing, they shouldn't go off into a hissy fit and call us "so bad we make downs kids cry" Jesus.

[QUOTE=The golden;35084110]He's new. So he only has 1 turret , 1 grenade, and a basic SMG. Meanwhile, the rest of the Tribes community has already unlocked everything. He's pretty much fucked. The only other thing he has is the Spinfuser for the soldier, which I got for him by playing on his account. (And because it's cheap).[/QUOTE] I'm new too, but without a lot of aiming experience from previous years of gaming I do understand the problem with the not all too good smg. Is it just me or do the sniper-class suck ?

Does anyone use Brute? I imagine he's like fatter pathfinder, but the fire rate of heavy spinfusor is extremely slow...so in what roles does he excel?

nadespam

Brutes excel in the role of party host due to party grenades.

But it's so much fun to snipe.

[QUOTE=jiggu;35084289]But it's so much fun to snipe.[/QUOTE] Do you seriously get kills as a sniper ? ;o

[QUOTE=The golden;35084338]Yes. [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/468611248490506754/AC2257B67480899A7D10095A1DEF102AC6D2693B/[/t][/QUOTE] I bow to your excellence.

I like the sentinel mostly for the droppack and the claymores exposing infiltrators for other defenders and placing claymores all over the place does loads for the team. Sniping is an after thought for me.

[QUOTE=fettoolle;35084319]Do you seriously get kills as a sniper ? ;o[/QUOTE] Yep, but not as many as running around like some OP techie or jugg.

[QUOTE=little.sparrow;35083880]Losing/lost -> get called the "worst team ever", I mean, you're the best player in tribes! if you lose, it HAS to be your team's fault! The enemy can't actually be BETTER, you're the best player in the game![/QUOTE] 90% of the time when im playing SENT and we lose, its because my team was fucking bad. when im like 36-2-12(KDA) with 20-25 flag defender accolades and we still lose that means my team was bad. if i kill the FC and no one returns the flag only for it to be picked up again, my team is bad. if my team cant even get the flag across the map because theyre llama grabbing fatties, my team is bad. 70% of the time its your team. it doesnt matter if you can snipe an FC from 10000m away thats going at 500kmh, if no one returns the flag its pointless. it doesnt matter if you can clear the flag or take down the generator if no one is going to get the flag. it doesnt matter if you can grab flags at 300kmh every time if no one is going to protect you or your flag. [QUOTE=The golden;35083957]So I sat back and just kinda thought about this for awhile. Many games give players a incentive to play as a defensive class (medic, engineer, anti-tank, whatever. Depends on the game) but right now in Tribes Ascend, there isn't any. At least, not for new players. He's stuck with a weapon which is only good in the hands of a experienced player. The result? He gets frustrated and leaves = the only tech on our team leaves. I have to go Soldier and follow him around because he gets insta-killed by ANYONE that gets within 50 meters of him. He cannot defend himself with that gun.[/QUOTE] if your dad cant defend himself with the smg thats his fault not the games. the smg isnt hard to learn and certainly isnt "a weapon which is only good in the hands of a experienced player" anyone with aim and the ability to realize it isnt hitscan should do fine. as for the incentives bit(mostly the tf2 part) there is no incentive to play medic at all... you get less score than most people in pubs(unless youre being useless riding the ass of some heavy) and youll die more than most(or should)... the engineer also just usually stays near his stationary sentry nest, gets targeted by spys and ubers and most of the time is only useful for his teleports hes a low hp class with hardly any firepower, how is that an incentive to play him? if anything the heavy has more incentive to be played, high hp tons of damage medics heal you the most the sandvich with the only downside being spys(not a problem imo) and getting focused. what im trying to say is, is that people need to stop using the thumper as a crutch.

That's a pretty good way to attract new players and get them to give you money. What the fuck Hi-Rez. [editline]11th March 2012[/editline] If I have 2.5x the amount of points as my next teammate (which does happen often) then I have the right to say my team sucks at working properly.[/QUOTE] Except points are awarded strangely, so juggernauts always get the most. I usually go juggernaut to rack up enough points for a shrike, then run down flag carriers the rest of the game.

If you get good with sniper its amazing. The only weakness it has is high ping-players rubberbanding/warping around. 30-80 ping here.
