This is a Sanic. It goes fast.

Unknown unit of measure used for speed in Tribesverse.
[QUOTE=The golden;35152918]Nothing beats the feeling of having a flag carrier spend the next 15 minutes throwing childish insults at you because you blew his head clean off while he was doing 200sanics while carrying the flag.
I've lost count of the amount of times I've been called a "fag", "faggot", "looser", "bitch", "CoD kiddy", and all that good stuff.[/QUOTE]
I prefer the term hitscan hero. I think I will get quickswap for Pathfinder so I can use my shotgun more. The shotgun is so good when you aim.
Anyone else feel certain weapons work better in third person? Nova Blaster and shotguns seem to work far better in third person when I'm dueling due to the greater situational awareness you get.
Anyone notice that first win of the day is broken again? With booster I only got 3104XP from my first match. I am supposed to get 3.6K minimum. It seems like its not getting applied to the base amount, just to VIP and booster. ITT: First win is only givng you 600XP as VIP and 1800XP with booster, 0XP if F2P.
Can anyone else confirm?
I'm seeing red arrows above infiltrators whether they're invisible or not. One shotting people as Brute is satisfying but wheres the fun if you know where they're hiding? Seriously, I see red arrows zooming toward my base all the way into my generator room like I ordered Xray glasses out of a comic book or something.
No arrows above Jammed people at least even though an enormous staticy blob is pretty easy to spot anyway.

The staticy blobs work pretty good against light backdrops, like the sky or a mountain. I love killing people with Jammers who act like they are invisible. Alt still calls them out.
Best wallpaper for the best team.

I am fine with people sucking as long as they are able to suck in the direction of our base with the flag.
Also I want to know how do people 'suck'. Do you not have movement down? Do you die lots? Is your aim bad? Do you not know the maps?
All of those can be fixed with practice. Just keep going with it and you'll get better, by Rank 10 you should be competent at most of those.

I use the voice commands and I repair, defend and help the flag carrier.
Im only good in cleaning the flag stand for pathfinders.

How does the ARX Buster compare to the Grenade Launcher?

One does not simply ski back to base.
OH LORD. I just maxed out Safety Third and slapped it on Soldier. It's like throwing tiny nukes.
Just played a round on Crossfire which lasted until a stalemate (the initial timer hit 0, then the overtime lasted the entire 10 minutes). The Diamond Sword flag somehow glitched up, making it so we couldn't pick it up and they couldn't capture our flag on it. This also happened to be when the score was 2 - 2. I ended up with a ~40k score on it and 43 kills (I came first too), so I was quite pleased :smile:

Faster ROF, slightly higher dmg, smaller clip, sticky grenades instead of explode on impact. It is a fun weapon to use, but it takes a significant amount of skill to use it well. It also has very little arc so its good for clearing the stands on some maps. I like it better then the Grenade Launcher because against lights, if you get 2 stickies to connect you will always get a Mid-air and sticky kill. GL is better for gen and flagstand raiding on certain maps.
Prism mines:
Worth it or no?

Throw grenade.
That's about it, really.

1. Gear yourself up to carry maximum grenades
2. Throw all your fractals
3. Resupply
4. Repeat
If you're a rich cunt you can also use the nova colt to snipe carriers.
I never understood why people hate the fractal grenades, every time one was thrown at me every shot literally misses or I just fly over it (indoors too) and I'm fine. The only person who dies by them when it's thrown is the Brute who threw it :v: So in my experience I love them.
Oh, man, arena is >such< a good gamemode!!! It's so fun to have literally everyone leave whenever anyone uses doombringer or a thumper. Which is good since I don't have to deal with a doombringer that has 35 kills, but it makes it really hard to actually play it.
Got my first airshot yesterday! :v:

How the FUCK is this late??
Got my first classic spree yesterday. So far I've gotten explosive sprees and just killing sprees. :v:

They're absolutely amazing if you like defending with the infiltrator
The best bit being that they're invisible if you can hide the main prism behind a pillar or wall, and everyone zooms into the base so they'll never see the green line pop up (it's only visible if you're like 4 meters from it)

[QUOTE=iLife_Aftermath;35152714]A great sentinel can be a total fun-breaker if it's on the other team.[/QUOTE]
I can cap the flag 4 times, stop their capper 10 times and basically win the game, but a sentinel will still be #1 in the scoreboard because they've been camping in the same spot racking up kills all game
Needs to be just removed from the game, it's not fun for the people against the great sentinels and it's not fun for the people with the great sentinels on their team
