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

[atvaark]

[QUOTE=Catdaemon;35247510]Make it say "shazbot" when it's up. release plz.[/QUOTE]

I was going to add sounds, but I was too lazy to record/extract the vgs sounds and went with the bubble message "Tribes Ascend is up again! VGW" in the end.

Which perks should I unlock for raider?
I'm thinking on safety third, but not sure which others could be useful

[QUOTE=Bi0hazard;35241714][I]Not shown: a thousand failed blue plates and speed caps[/I][/QUOTE]

1:40, he misses once or twice with the launcher from range, then gets the kill. I thought that was just as fun to watch as the blue plates.

Survivalist is a must if you want to survive in the enemy base.

Egocentric is pretty nice to have if you are running whiteout grenades, but outside of that, survivalist and perhaps looter.

[PootisSpencer]

[QUOTE=Raidyr;35242796]That's beside the point. He implied that a frag video, an obvious showcase of player ability, should for whatever reason include missed caps and shots.
Who would want to watch that? If I wanted to watch bad players play the game I would spectate in random matches.[/QUOTE]

I'd agree but the video was an absolute waste of time
boring cinematics, annoying editing (16:10 aspect ratio and stock effects ew), mediocre kills and i didn't like the music either
I don't get why shit like this gets featured on the tribes FP page when people like pikkuhukka put out 3-4 minute frag reels every week (this one had footage from 2-3 weeks), and with much better frags, too.

Oh man, sentinel in sunstar is the best thing ever.

[QUOTE=The golden;35248750]And this is why Sunstar is quickly moving to first place for being my least favorite map.[/QUOTE]

Sunstar feels more like a Deathmatch map.

It should be a vehicle deathmatch. It would be the shit.

I got plenty of hate today for launching sabers from that tower at everyone flying too high. The map is flat already on it's own, if one can't fly for the risk of a saber shoved up his ass, the map gets real painful haha

Not sure how to feel about the knifes and the smoke grenade. But the ArmoredClaymore sounds bad and the Jackal is going to be a pain in the ass if this thing is a Raider weapon.

Jus get the tower, drop claymores, inventory station and you all set.

Still this show how bad sunstar is.

Needs serious work.

It's supposed to be an expensive as fuck mech that even has his own announcement sound when bought.

OH MAN, OH GOD! Really? It say ''SURRENDER NOW SANDRAKERS OR SUFFER AND IMMINENT RAPE''?

Because that would be the best thing in this game.

Oh man, this will be 1 of those weapons which is hard to master, but once you do, it'll be INSANE.

I've wanted a sniper rifle which isn't hit scan, I'm looking forward to this!

and what would the eagles hear?

safety third (I think it's that, the one with the extra grenade and radius)
potential energy (whenever you get hurt you get more shield.. lol)

once you learn to micromanage the shield you can take a stupid amount of damage. simply spam 3 grenades into the generator room to flush the defences out and camp there the whole game. that's how I play him anyway.

I can see the Sandraker gigant robot with a raker as hand destroying the buildings in Arx Novena :v:

[QUOTE=Takuat;35249968]What are the best perks for Infiltrator?[/QUOTE]

Survivalist is one. For the other I would say Safety Third because ejaculating all over the generator is so satisfying

[Sax]

God fucking dammit. I hate Arx Busters and Sticky Grenades so FUCKING MUCH. I can't do ANYTHING against them while I am trying to patheticly repair and defend our generator. I mean FUCK.

*rage*

It's a bitch to hit you guys with the ARX buster but it's so satisfying. All you really have to do is keep moving and avoid surfaces - same with any other weapon.

Is the Nova Colt for the Brute worth unlocking?

[papaya]

The new map is the best for defending as Jug. It's got the right size so that I can actually duel with anyone who drops down, it isn't just a long rectangle like Katabatic while still keeping the bottomless pit, it isn't tiny like crossfire or drydock. It's just fun.

Inside the generator room while being a technician, doing that is pretty hard after you did it the first few seconds.

271 SANIC grab on crossfire
go colliding into enemy base wall straight after
die

[Rolond]

I find the arx buster is good for outdoors environments, and the grenade launcher good for spam in enclosed spaces.

God damn that revolver for the Brute is amazing

The ability to quickly fire 6 shots that each do 180 damage, hnngg
heavies with 2/5 health remaining? No problem
