Tribes: Ascend v2: I went slow once and it was awful
10,204 replies, posted
Hmm, anyone else get sudden random freezes?
Like my game is all running fine, 40ish FPS and I'm going 200 Sanics or in I could be in a duel with someone or I could be basically doing anything else then BAM game freezes. It usually lasts around 1-3 seconds, but it can also rarely get stuck for a wile such as more than 10 seconds.
As you can imagine this pisses me off as it often results me being dead or loosing speed. So yeah anyone else get this? I'm using a AMD card, but I wouldn't know if that would be the problem.

isnt colt for brute?
[QUOTE=jiggu;35092980]Raiders always fun. Also your last titel was better cause it gave me boners.[/QUOTE]

Nova blaster I mean. The fire rate of the falcon makes it ridiculous. Few players will say that the blaster is better after playing with the two for some time. Technically the blaster does have a better DPM, but with such a slow firerate in comparison you have to be very good to be better with it than the falcon.

oh, I disagreed thinking you were talking about the eagle* pistol :I
I think the blaster is better if you have godlike aim, but the falcon is just such an easy point and click weapon.

kind of lame how nearly every unlockable weapon (especially the 100k ones) is significantly better than the default.
saw some videos, i got felling the falcon is good against mediums/lights and blaster for heavies

Basically yeah.

I don't think that the default weapons are any worse than the upgrades (ok maybe the thumper, damn that thing is annoying) rather the upgrade is easier to play with, and require less skill to use or fit the play styles of the average player better.

Some ones in particular, based off my experiences with them:
-Bolt launcher: this does more damage and travels faster, also players can barely see the bolt, and arcs are barely a disadvantage; so it's pretty much an upgrade to the light SF.
-MIRV: this is supposed to do less damage, but it dealt something like 1600 damage to me when I was standing in its radius as a heavy.
-falcon: the ease-of-use factor is so high, the decrease in potential dps is irrelevant.
-LAR: one burst does more damage than a point-blank shotgun shot, and it's way more versatile.
-stealth spinfusor: pretty much a must-have for infs, it turns them from a sub-par class to near godlike: do nearly as much dps as the stickies do but with infinitely more ease-of-use.
-Thumper: no words

Also when I talk about ease of use that doesn't just apply to noobs - it's about how many hits you actually put on target - and even experienced players can't land every shot with the nova blaster.

Smaller splash though, and it is not as good at spinfusor jumping.

In an open area the mortar is better by far. The damage gets too spread out with the MIRV at longer ranges.

Generally yes.

The shotgun does 7x80 damage with each shot. The LAR does 3x80 per burst.

The smg isn't without its own benefits however. It does have a higher DPS, so players who can aim very well will have no trouble outperforming the stealth spinfusor. Also, you don't show up on the map when firing with the SMG, while with the stealth spinfusor you do.
I've got 22k xp
What should I get
Anyone have all the tribes VGS and announcer sounds that I could download? I want to add some shazbots to my game.
Also I'm nearing 100k and I already have the tech thumper and the mirv launcher so what should I get next, I'm thinking Phase Rifle.

Don't get the Phase Rifle, BXT is better most of the time. The Falcon is good to have if you want to play a chaser Sentinel. Or get the LMG for Juggernaut/
IMO the Blaster is better to have against deployable heavy teams. On Arx Novena you can clear a flag stand of all the forcefields and turrets in a clip and a half. 20 shots will kill 2 turrets, and 2 forcefields. In Sentinel duels I have been in that resort to secondaries the falcon and Blaster are pretty even. Its easy to dodge SMG fire at short to mid range when you aren't skiing.
jugger LMG is fun and really versatile outdoors :v:

What about the stealth spinfusor? Or the dmb's crossbow thing?
[QUOTE=Bumrang;35102810]What about the stealth spinfusor? Or the dmb's crossbow thing?[/QUOTE]
The doombringer crossbow is INSANE, especially since you can use it to boost with.
Guys I can't find the key to enter and exit vehicles.
What is it?
G by default
I always bind use to E in every game I play myself (unless the game has leaning).
Growing up with Half-Life has conditioned me to it completely.
My current setup in Tribes is E for use, F for grenade, and G for melee.
I think G for grenade makes more sense, I mean, grenade starts with G!
[QUOTE=bunnyspy1;35104671]I think G for grenade makes more sense, I mean, grenade starts with G![/QUOTE]
I had it that way for a while but I use grenades more than I use melee so having it closer to WASD helps.

i play pathfinder so when i throw a grenade to boost myself with the enemy flag away from danger, F fits perfectly to "oh fuck"
